Rogue Spear - The Most Realistic Shooter Ever!

I have had Rogue Spear for about 2 months now. And the best word you can use to describe it is REALISTIC. If you have ever played RAINBOW SIX (the game Rogue Spear continues from), you already have an idea of how awesome it is. But Rogue Spear is not what RAINBOW SIX was... it is much better. You are a counter terrorism team assigned to rescue hostages and successfully complete objectives in full-detail 3-D worlds. And the terrorists are not stupid. They will act to your every move, they will hide to ambush you, duck your shots, shout things at you, and take cover when they need to reload their guns. You can play missions during the day, night, or even with weather effects such as snow, fog, and rain! All of these things add to how realistic the game is. You can play over the internet in multiplayer mode with up to 16 people playing at a time! With so many weapons to choose from (frag grenades, smoke grenades, heart beat sensors, flashbangs, and more) you will be playing multiplayer over and over again. Multiplayer mode is so realistic, that when you hear a gun being fired, you can tell what gun it is. When you see a gun in someones hand, you can tell what gun it is. Frag grenades make more noise than ever in this unbelievable game! You can talk to people on your team in multiplayer mode using the BOUND KEYS that can be specified in your "OPTIONS" section of Rogue Spear. Order your team-mates to get down, take cover, cover your back, use a frag grenade, retreat, and much much more. No first person shooter even compares to Rogue Spear. Not even Goldeneye 007 (popular game for Nintendo 64). Rogue Spear is so real and addictive, like Red Storm Entertainment states on the back of the box, you will be shouting "tango down!" in your sleep for weeks! Don't wait... buy this game!

Close quarter battle that is highly realistic.

As a military person I can tell you this is extremely authentic.

If you've played the original 'Rainbow Six' you'll automatically notice the changes... -Better artificial intelligence (they are TOO realistic and SMART) -Improved characters (they act just like human beings...you see eyes blink, breath in cold air, and they even LIMP, drag their LEG, etc. when shot! )

This is not a typical 'shoot em up' doom type game...it's real world folks. One shot can and usually does kill you. The good thing is it's only a game and you can lead teams (up to 5 per team with a max of 4 teams if a mission supports it). I have limited space here, but it is very addictive, fun and an involving view into real world anti-terrorism!

This is one killer sequel

I loved Rainbow Six, but it definitely lacked some major points. First of all, I read the book, and I was dissapointed that the game didn't have snipers. Also, there weren't many guns at your disposal, and the repetitive use of one gun was common. But, Rougue Spear fixes both of these problems, giving a sniper and many more guns. Also, In the original, I really wanted a snow mission, but there was none offered. But, there are three snow missions in this game, and there are even foot prints in the snow, and you can see your mens' breath. Multiplayer is geat, but guns still poke out of doors, defeating a bit of the realism the game has. But, the game is super realistic, and I would tell anyone who thought that the first one was fun, to buy this game for themselves for Christmass!

Help! I'm addicted! Can't stop playing this game!

This game is the best real life simulation combat game I've played (well not 100% realistic but it's as close as it gets, i guess). Actually it's the best game I've played, period. I tried Rainbow 6 once but didn't like it: too complex and took too much time to plan and set up a mission. This one is awesome: missions are already planned and all you have to do (if you want) is just plunge in the action. On the other hand if you like you can reject the default plan and come up with your own. Moving around is soooo much easier than with rainbow 6: you can move crouched and peek around corners and these are both great enhancements. I use them a lot and saved my posterior in more than one risky occasion. And of course there's "terrorist hunt": you can replay a mission with thirty baddies around and no hostages: it's the ultimate shootout-hunting match. It's worth every penny it costs! GOOD JOB GUYS!

In a word: Addictive

The enchancements R6 Rogue Spear, over the first, make this sequel a winner. The graphics are superb, the sounds are spectacular and the upgraded AI isn't gonna make it easy for anyone to just waltz by blazing their guns. It's not another "shoot-em-up" a-la Quake genre -- not even close.

Here you have to seriously plan out your mission to be able to survive and accomplish your objectives. The settings are nicely rendered and really are a treat. Throw in the ability for free Internet Multiplayer +PLUS+ all the (free) add-on's (Weapon Mods, Modified Maps, etc) and you've got yourself a sweet game that'll have you sitting in front of your PC for hours. For those who are considering purchasing, visit www.rsdatabase.com (no affiliation) for up-to-date news, mods, screenshots and other stuff if your still not convinced.

The best tactical game ever! FANTASTIC MUTIPLAYER OPTION!

I would surely rate this game as the best tactical game ever made. What is striking is the succes the Red Storm has had in blending top level realism and good playability. The game is structured around a basic storyline where the Rainbow anti-terrorist organisation is hunting down a terrorist organization. You have to complete 15 levels (too few from my point of wiew) in order to accomplish your mission. Each level has a planning phase where you select the team members from a force pool, choose theyr equipment and decide the action plan. A nice feature is the "Default option", so that you can go thru this phase in as little as five seconds and jump directly into action. Once the game has started you can swich between any one of you teams, a feature that enables for an incredible flexibility.

From the REALISM point of wiew this game lacks almost nothing, exept for the flexibility of the AI. When you have played the same level a few times you realize that the terrorits are always in similar positions, and it is very easy to simply pin point every one of them. Anyway I believe that this is not to be considered a major shorfall in the game, since you are not be supposed to try over and over a mission before getting it right! Another thing I believe is great in the game is the great variety of weapons avaylable, all of them with different characterisics. This feature gives you the opportunity to customize you team and the action plans very easily, giving you the option of trying the same scenarios over and over again experimenting different tactics. Also very interensting are the TONS OF MODS FILES avaylable on the web. You can get anything from an automatic grenade launcher to a Star Wars stormtrooper laser blaster. Even if these weapons are not exactly what you would find in anti-terrorist units, they nonetheless add a completely new level to the game.

Anyway, I believe that the best feature of the game is THE MULTIPLAYER OPTION. This is absolutey pure fun! The game is incredibly more interesting once you are playing against real humans on the web. The multiplayer version actually SEEMS A COMPUTER PAINTBALL GAME. Having played paintball for a few years I guarantee you that by playing this game you get most of the experience of paintball! You soon end up playing hours after hours of totally different games, finding players of different skill levels.

The MISSION EDITOR, included in the game, adds another level of flexibility to the game (if you have the time and the will to learn how to use it). However, if you are interesetd, there are some free manuals on how to use the editor on the web.

I also suggest you buy the expansion packs avayable from Red Storm, since they give you completely new levels (a little too few, actually! ) and weapons to play with.

My suggestion? Buy it now and see ya at M-player.com!

Great game even better than the first

After i purchased the original rainbow six i was very impressed but felt that some things could still be worked out. Rouge Spear fixes almost all of my complaints such as being able to see through some walls, the inability to lean around corners, a marginal artifical intellegence, and a lack of weapons. The new one covered all of these and more. It is very impressive how the AI is diffrent for the computer players with more training compared to those that are amatures. The weapons are great and the ability to be a sniper adds a new twist. I would reccomend it to any one who has any intrest in the game at all.

cool

I really love this game. I got it a little late but i haven't stopped playing it since. It's one of the best games i've ever played. and i've played a hell of a lot of game. I highly recommend it. It's better than R6. if there is a comparision.

Rogue Spear Rocks!

Well, now that I got your attention, let me say that this game is as close to perfect as one can get. The realistic graphics blow you out of your chair. This is the better choice over the origional. Trust me on this one. It's worth paying the extra money. Please, don't say "well, who needs the couple extra features" because it will not satisfy you once you buy it. It's not like Windows '95 and '98 where it's cheaper and worth it to get the origional. Buy Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear and have your source of entertainment for this millennium.
