I have been playing RS3 for about a week now (ya know, about an hour or two a day) and i've only gotten to the third mission.  This is the most challenging game I've ever played.  You can't just run in, MP5 or M4 blazing and expect to get anywhere.  This game is more about stealth and sneaking around than Splinter Cell.  I love Ubi-Soft.  That company can design games that rock.  The only problem is that the same bad guys are always in the same places, but they will eventually come out after you if you take too long thinking about what you're going to do.  The A.I. seems pretty bright in this one.  

I have that game, I dont like the way they modeled the firepower of the guns.  I play maybe 3 or 4 different missions over and over, ignore the rest.

I have the miniposter, which showed up in a magazine hanging on the office wall.  Shows the outline of a soldier with the words, Freedom Isn't Free underneath.
