LOL, there's no way that RavenSuck was better, imho.
It looks way worse for one (animations were just so-so at best, textures also so-so), secondly, RavenSuck committed the worst crime of all for any game offering multiplayer. It didn't even provide the OPTION to allow players to respawn, in either mp matches OR in co-op. How stupid is that? At least R6:Lockdown provides that option and several others.
I'm not saying R6:Lockdown is terribly great. The AI IS admittedly pretty crappy but the graphics are superb, the weapons feel pretty good (though they don't sound all that great at times), the maps were acceptable if not great, and it provides decent co-op. Yeah it IS faster than your normal R6 title but that's mostly a plus. Insanely slow games like SWAT 4, despite some of its charms, are just deathly boring for me (anyway) and hardly anyone I knew used the stupid tactical planning portion of the game that they yanked from Lockdown (who'd want to use it anyway, all it does it let your AI teammates have all the fun and get all the action while delaying your entry into the game world even longer!)...
Oh well, each to his own I guess.
