1.About the Author
Hello, my name is Lubomir Mario Slavchev. I thought this would be just a part of info
with my name and nickname, but I remembered that I haven't written much about myself in
my previous files, so I decided to add a small biography part. Hope you won't protest.
My full nickname is DJ MS Lubo- Erazor.BAT, but people often call me just Lubo, MS Lubo,
or Erazor.

lubo.s@mbox.bol.bg

I live in Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria.
Bulgaria is a small country on the Bolkan Peninsula in the south-east part of Europe.
It is surrounded by other countries such as Romania, Greece, Turkey, Macedonia (which
is actually a part of Bulgaria, but they won't admit it!), Serbia. We have a coast on
Black Sea.
So I was born in Sofia and I have never been abroad, but I know a lot about life in
other countries (Russia, USA, etc) from my mail-friends.
The level of education here in Bulgaria is very high, and I'm proud of my English
skills, I have studied English for 10 years by now. Despite of that, I still make mistakes.
I was born in 1985, and I'm addicted to many things. I hate any drugs, cigarettes,
alcohol and anything that influences people's sober thinking.
My interests are firepower (pistols, rifles); butterfly knives (balisong); sabres;
computers (games&hardware mostly); books (Robert Ludlum, Lee Child, Richard Marcinko,
Michael Crichton, Tom Clancy); sport (offroad-biking, push-up drills). I love hanging
around school with my friends and practicing my butterfly knives' tricks.
I have been playing PC games since 1989 and I will never stop, because I love them. What
I like in games is not the graphics (although I like nice-looking games), but the gameplay
and the pleasure, which the game gives to me. I still play Alley Cat and Karateka on my PC.
OK, my first PC-experience was back in 1989, on a 8086 in my mother's working place- one of
her colleagues had a desktop PC 4.77 MHz with Karateka installed- and this was the most
astonishing thing for the 4-year old Lubo. My first private PC was a 286/20 MHz in 1996,
then a 486DX3/100 MHz (3x33, then 2x50, now 3x40- unstable under Win95OSR2PE) , a Duron/750 MHz
(the Duron got up to 7.5x123=923 with my Gigabyte 7VAX and before that up to 7.5x107=805 MHz with
my Acorp 7A1647- ALi MaGiK1 chipset) and now a 1700+ XP TB (ThoroughBred, not ThunderBird),
running at 2000+ (12x142=1691 MHz).
More about computers- I think DOS is the most stable and good OS, it lacks only a good
GUI (DOSSHELL???) and multi-tasking. Right now I'm using Windows 98SE with Norton Ghost-
I haven't reinstalled since May 2002.
I'm more interested in hardware, rather than software, although in 1998 I was addicted to
compiling BAT-files and converting them to COM-executables.
I believe in God, I'm a Christian. I have my own understanding for life, but this isn't
the
right place to talk about all this. Just mentioning.
I don't believe in law&order, because they are made only to serve VIPs and they are no
good
to the "small" people. I won't do my military service, because I think it's
useless and stupid to do
it here in Bulgaria. But I know a lot about military stuff.
Computer games I odore are so much, that I should make another file on them. Anyway, here are
some of my favourites, I like retro a lot, but I like some of the new ones, too.

My favourite favourites:
Alley Cat, SPACE COMMANDERS (not INVADERS!), ARKANOID (originals only- 1 and 2), J-BIRD, DIGGER,
F19A Stealth (MicroProse's version 435.01), Karateka, Frogger, Goody, GunShip (not 2000, the
old one),
Rogger Rabbit&Baby Herman: Hare Raising Havoc, XoniX, Test Drive (1&2:The Duel), Prehistorik
(1 is better,
I can't play Pre2, for some reason it's too hard for me!), MORTAL KOMBAT 1,2,3,TRILOGY
(not 4!!!), Tapper,
Tetris, Titus The Fox, Ugh! (this is a game, not a sigh!), The Dam Busters, and, of course,
SOKOBAN!!!
There are more, I'm sure, but I can't list them all!
Another unforgettables- RISE OF THE TRIAD and DooM!!! And ElectroMan!!!

Some newer:
Duke Nukum (this is the original name!), Duke Nukem 3D, Quake (1 is the best!!!, 2 is good, III
sux),
SiN (definitely rocks in MP!), Half-Life, SYSTEM SHOCK 2 (Fuck Shodan!), Carmageddon 2: Carpocalypse
Now,
Global Operations, Unreal Tournament (the original one), Deus Ex, Hitman: Codename 47 (Hitman2:SA
sux!),
Resident Evil 2 (RULEEEZZ!!!), Heavy Metal FAKK2 (Hey, Julie!), Blade Of Darkness, Gruntz,
Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 2, ALIENS VS. PREDATOR (1 is better!), BLOOD 2, and so on and so on,
Raven Shield, and so on... What else? Soldier Of Fortune (both SoF and SoF2 are very nice, but no
game
can match the SoF2's dismemberfest!).

Games I HATE!: Counter-Strike, UT2003 (too tacky), mostly games which are made to get paid like
Tomb Raider for example.

Looks like that's all. Well, it isn't, but for now it's enough. Let's move
on...

1.1.Previous Projects
So far I have written a couple of good walkthrus (mind my spelling, ;-)). I have created:

- Resident Evil 2 PC Walkthru- The Best One Out There!!! It includes full detailed walkthru for
Leon's mission A and B, a walkthru for eXtreme Battle (any character), a walkthru for Hunk and
ToFu's missions, a RE2 FAQ and some hints and tips.

- Global Operations- Hints&Tips, Weapons Info

I would write a moves list for Mortal Kombat 2, for MK3, and also for MK:TRILOGY, but I gave up,
because there are too many sites for these games, where gamers can find what they need. I also
wanted to complete a walkthru for Hitman 2: Silent Assassin, but on the 3rd mission I found out
that the game is too easy for anyone out there and gave up.

My works are usually submitted after a long time, but this is good, I hope. This is because I
test everything, check for any mistakes and publish them only after I'm 100% sure that
everything
will work. So don't hate me, if I'm late with this material. At least it's reliable
like an AK-47.

1.2.Tom Clancy and Rainbow Six (My attitude to them)
For anyone, who doesn't know, the game series Rainbow Six are based on Tom Clancy's
novels,
where Rainbow Six is the codename for John Clark (whose real name is John T. Kelly), as I
remember. Domingo (Ding) Chavez is his daughter's husband, a real Mexican bandit, born in LA,
with Mexican origin. He is trained by Clark and helps him with the most difficult missions.
Fact is, I have never read "Rainbow Six"! I have read "Without Remorse",
"Debt Of Honor",
"The Sum Of All Fears" and some other, I can't recall their exact names right now,
because
I have read them translated in Bulgarian and sometimes, book titles are translated not 100%
accurately. They all are very good books, I like reading them in my relax-time.

On the other hand, Tom Clancy himself is a very swaggering man, maybe because too much praise has
puffed him up. Once on TV he said he didn't know the titles of his old books. And he thinks he
knows everything, but that's not right. Clancy says that a Bulgarian assassin from KGB shot
the
pope about more than 20 years ago, this is wrong (I'm talking about the "Red
Rabbit"). He also
thinks of Bulgarians as Russian-oriented fanatics, the name of the Bulgarian character in his
book was Strokov; no Bulgarian can have this name; it is a Russian name, not Bulgarian!

Raven Shield is a very good game. I mean it's pretty realistic. It's not 100% realistic,
because
there aren't some real-life things like ricochets and wall penetration, but, think for a
while-
if they were included, it would be too easy to kill them all just with the thermal scope shooting
through walls like crazy with your trusty .50" BMG Barrett M82A1 sniper rifle.
And jumping. Jumping is useless, if you want to remain stealthy. But here comes the problem with
the aiming. In the game, when you're running, you can't aim well. I think this isn't
exactly this
way in reality, because there are people, who can shoot very accurately even when moving quickly.
They are very few people, but Rainbow Six is an elite squad, isn't it? I think the best
solution
is to make aiming a little easier, but also make enemy-reactions at least 2 times faster, because
in real life noone will wait for you to point the barrel in his direction. He will just kill you
with one well-aimed shot, or duck behind a solid metal obstacle.
As a conclusion, Raven Shield is a very entertaining game, not 100% realistic, but more realistic
than the other games (Global Ops, Tactical Ops, Counter-Strike).
Well, it's a game after all! Games are made to give you fun, not to be "Maximum
Reality".

1.3.Current status and my terminologia
OK, I admit it. I'm still playing Raven Shield and I'm not an expert. I have beaten the
game only
twice, on Veteran skill. The first time I got about 10 of my men dead, the 2nd time I beat the
whole damn game with NO CASUALTIES!
I haven't played any other Rainbow Six game and Raven Shield was my first touch to the series,
so
veteran players may find my tactics unusual. I'm not a Navy Seal, but fact is, my tactics work,
and
if there's a better solution for a problem, I admit it. If you have any better ideas than mine
here,
send them to me, check my e-mail back to the top.
Right now I'm trying to finish the first mission on Elite skill level with no casualties. I
still
can't do it! Damn! Also, sometimes, I'll use bad language, if you mind this, fuck off!
Mind my spelling. I will use incorrect word forms, because I hate writing long words and maybe my
keyboard isn't perfect, so there might be some accidental typing mistakes.
Some advice while you're playing- try to do it once and do your best from the first try! If
you
fuck up a mission, you'll have about 3-5 times to retry. After that you'll get annoyed, a
little
bored and maybe nervous (e.g.: That damn terrorist keeps fucking up my plan!!!). If you keep
screwing
up the mission, give up and relax. Then try again. Maybe your plan isn't the best, maybe your
team has
the wrong camouflage uniforms, maybe the weapons aren't silenced, maybe some go-codes are
useless...
To beat this game, you have to be calm and steady. Imperturbable. And always have your back watched
by the correct person. You have to think like crazy to do it right. That's why I like this
game.
The atmosphere in the room where you are playing is very important, too. Forget about some hip-hop
blastin' from your CD-Player, you have to hear everything from the game SFX! Terrorists'
footsteps
on concrete, reloads and trigger clicks, everything can be used as a weapon. Turn off the lights,
lock the door and play the game alone in your silent room. Concentrate!



2.Firepower section
No doubt, there's plenty of firepower in Raven Shield. Pistols, SMGs, assault rifles, sniper
rifles,
shotguns, light machine guns- everything is there!
Every single weapon can be modified to suit your needs. You can choose attachments (thermal scopes,
silencers, larger clips, conventional scopes, etc) and even ammo type (FMJ/JHP). Of course,
modifying
the weapon modifies its statistics- for example a silencer for the FAL will reduce its 99 Damage to
8,
so choose wisely! But 8 Damage isn't that bad, because a good headshot is always, always,
always lethal.
I won't list all stats for all weapons, because it's a terribly big load of info and I
don't have time,
also you can just launch the game and check everything, I'm going to give you just an overview-
what is
every stat for?
OK, there are 5 stats: Damage, Range, Accuracy, Recovery and Stability. The first three are clear
to
everyone, what about Recovery and Stability? Recovery is the time delay needed for the weapon to
get
accurate after you stop moving, while Stability is the recoil- how much upwards does the crosshair
go when you shoot a single round. Both are not so important when you use light auto-aim, combined
with
the small zoom- then recoil won't make you nervous. Don't use the close zoom, because with
it you have
a narrower view of the area, you're covering. Use the big zoom only when your sniper is
wounded- when
he is hurt, he can't aim well and it's better to have the wider crosshair on a bigger
target.

2.1.Firepower In The Game
To be more precise, in the game are included:
8 Pistols, 14 SMGs, 16 assault rifles, 7 sniper rifles, 3 shotguns, 5 light machine guns.
A total of 53 guns&rifles- isn't that a nice opportunity to test your choice?
