Well, it's got the Rainbow Six logo, but it almost sounds more like a Ghost Recon game. Sounds like a shitty future, though. Still, I don't see how this will translate into a Rainbow Six game.
 
I don't see the Rainbow Six logo anywhere... it's the Tom Clancy logo.
 
Isn't viral marketing usually.. hidden and mysterious, this has branding all over it.

We need more ARGs !

Oh, right, sorry, I was going by IGN. Well, in that case, maybe it is the next Ghost Recon... or something new. That could make it really cool, actually.

Personally, I think the storyline given in there would be great for a new Ghost Recon that was more like the original. Fighting on US territory with a squad of ghosts would be awesome. Or better yet, a larger unit, like a platoon. So you could mix RTS with FPS... oh man, if only.
 
It's a site for Tom Clancy's Firehawk that was leaked awhile back

http://www.xboxic.com/news/413

I'd guess it's a helicopter game based on the name, but the site has refferences to all 3 Clancy games, Rainbow Six logo, they mention Ghost Leader, and some shit about a Splinter Cell agent in the radio chatter. Crossover game maybe?

**EDIT**

The radio chatter also talks about Canada and Mexico not signing some agreement and battles going on in New York

Off the forums:
Okay, let's get information/ideas we have gathered from reading/watching the stuff on rev64. Oh, and lets call the man JSF, due to the number of these forums and the link to them on rev64. There is definitely more, so feel free to post more info, I will try to put it up here. Please try to post the same way I do, and continue the numbering system.

1. It appears this takes place in the 2020s, with mentions of the 2026 Winter Games and JSF being born in 91' and appearing to be in his 30s.
2. It looks like this may be a crossover of Ubisoft's Tom Clancy games with apparent references to Ghosts, Splinter Cells, and special ops groups.
3. A major war is going on. This has caused famine on a global scale with everything, including water, dangerously low.
4. If you read closely, somewhere in the text it says pre-nuclear, it is possible nuclear bombs have been detonated.
5. Alot of fighting is happening in both Europe and the US, possibly more areas.
6. JSF appears to be in a hospital and possibly crazy.
7. Reverse immigration, from the USA to China, Mexico, and Canada (probably more) is occuring.
8. It appears JSF's family was killed.
9. It is possible that JSF is a Sargent in the army due to the fact that a "Sarge" is often referred to in the videos.
10. It appears that, whenever JSF got hurt, it happend in Italy trying to take/defend an area.
11. JSF seems to be important, many files of his are classified.
12. As stated above, the US has been attacked.
A) Washington, D.C. is no longer the US capital. The new capital appears to be in Boston.
B) The fighting is nearing the Midwest.
C) The New York Stock Exchange has been relocated to Chicago.
D) The CIA, FBI, NSA, and the Pentagon have been relocated.
13. OPEC has disintegrated.

And here are (at least some of) the audio/video files thanks to darkhawk978. You can find these yourself by looking for a small yellow bar to the left of text. The first part is the acutal text shown. The quotations are in the audio.

Psychotic Break Threashold-88%; "Sir we have an incoming transmission....."

Zone "L'Axe Historique"- "Bang Bang.........."

Fundamental Attribution Error-"Okay, say Goodbye to Daddy"

Loss of Pride, Goals Unattained- "Due to the high volume of...."

Classified LO 19.20- "We've been ambushed"

0-4 Promotion Recommended- "I need a medic down here now"

Fort Huachuca; AZ- "Authorization Go Green"

Opp: Cape Offensive- "We have a fledger........."

Prep: Final Contrition- " (French Talking) "

Loc Ile de France- "Heavy Fire"

The combo of all 3 games and a war on US soil, I'm thinking a Tom Clancy RTS
 
I've yet to figure out this, "Viral Marketing" and such....is it a company, or a type of advertising?
 
Wow, if all of these supposed details are true this could be an incredibly kick-ass game!!! We'll see though...:hmph:

Yeah, after my initial hype, I really have to be skeptical. Tom Clancy games have promised a lot over the years, but are pretty spotty. Still, there's the makings here for a great setting.
 
Water and food are at dangerously low levels, Americans are moving to Mexico and extra soldiers have been deployed to patrol the Mexican border, new US capital is Boston and for the most part martial law has been declared. Seems like it's WW3 with Europe, America, and Canada, v. various Arabic countries, and Mexico/South America
 
This sounds interesting. This could be my second Clancy video game series after Splinter Cell.
 
Is dat sum Scott Mitchellz?

I know that name from GRAW, but I haven't played any Ghost Recon games before that one...
 
It's set in 2020, making it impossible to be Scott Mitchell since he would be almost 60 by this time, this guy was injured and captured at the Defense of Atlanta, which his squad obviously lost, he was shot in the right shoulder. And, as I said, he's a PoW
