This game is hot! With 3 missions 7 training maps Its crazy. also whats very important you can download two extra mission-maps to play on Covert Ops but theres only one site you can get it from. it has a training CD that you can learn from the experts. If you have this game don't be bummed with three missions E-mail me at vikingsrule1@msn.com and i'll give you the site name to download the two maps. As for training maps not bad a little small. With 8 handguns 24 regular guns and 21 camo suits hot dang a must get for the Pc gamer who knows what he wants. Graphics are a little better not really a visible differnce. the rating of this game From The IGN officials is 8.4 not bad for a R6 game

I do not recomend it unless...

I was extremelky disspointed on the new r6 game. It is an exact copy of Rogue Spear just about 20 bucks less and less missions. I started playing it last night and after about 2.5 hours of playtime i was done ( note; i created my own plans). No you didnt mis read ONLY about 2 AND A HALF HOURS OF PLAYTIME. THe only good thing about the game is the training cd but unles u r doing a shcool report or are specially interested in the background of your game it helps otherwise its like the previews at the movies, they're interesting but u would get bored of feature length previews. In my opinion you are better off buying ROgue SPear and Urban Ops; a little expensier option but u get more bang for the buck. So dont buy it unles u have to do a school report on Counter-terrorism or you are just getting aqcuainted with the R6 series for the rest of us don't.

I my opinion I think this game is great. One of the good things is that it doesnt need the original rainbow six to be installed to run. It has some pretty good realism and graphics are good too. With 9 new levels, it will keep most people who are on HARD dificulty with something to do.

Best value in gaming!!!

As many know from reading these reviews there are two parts to this game. The 3 missions and the educational part which included 6 training missions. While i can understand the disappointment in so few stock missions(3)it is the custom missions that allow you many hours of great fun. Those who like thematic campaigns would be disappointed but rainbow six rogue spear never focused much on that anyway.

This is not a rainbow six mission pack. It came out after rogue spear and uses the rogue spear engine with all the options you find in RS for weapons, unis etc. The graphics are RS quality. The 3 missions you do get are superb with intense competitive play. The custom mission section is what makes this game work. There you can choose from various rules from 9 different maps such as terrorist hunt-lone wolf-hostage rescue-defend. You can choose how difficult the mission is and choose how many of the enemy there will be for some. Given all these choices makes it almost unlimited mission play. How you play the mission is also optional of course. Play a terrorist hunt alone with 50 tangos for the ultimate challenge or bring aone a couple of partners. All these options are also avaliable in a direct connect multi player mode. Play coop with all the options i just mentioned. It will be a long time before you wear this game out.

The maps for these missions are interesting and in some cases spectacular. The ice map is stunning to look at and challenging for terrorist hunt. If you enjoy rainbow or rogue spear then you absolutely must own this game! It costs almost nothing but is much more in fun and action packed enjoyment.

This game is one of the best games I've ever payed.But, there are only three levels.Also there are less weopons.There are two disc, but one is a training disc.All it has you do is read and take test.If you stick to the mission disc the game is perfectly fine.Besides the training disc and there only being three levels it is the bet game ever.

This is the worst buy you could make. Look at the price of the game and ask yourself if the cost is worth 3 missions. That's right, this game ends after the third mission. Save your money - do not buy this game.

An Awesome game!

This game is great, if you have played the others you'll love this one. The only bad thing is that you die really fast, but you'll have a great time playing this game. Especially if you like the other games. If you haven't played the other rainbow six's before this probably would'nt be what you are expecting.

I assumed that if Mr. Clancy signed his name to a product, it would be first rate. I was wrong. Installation went wrong right at the start. Tech Support says that it must be on my end. Note that one CD plays well, while the other won't play without choppy sound and video. In my first of many e-mails to UBI, I listed all pertinent info regarding my PC and its drivers,cards,etc. A list posted on Red Storm/UBI site stated that my video card was supported. After many more support contacts, my video card is no longer supported. And the list of supported cards has been altered. It now states that my card, and others, which were formerly supported, are not any more. In addition, some cards,mine included, work with one disc but not the other. What good is half of a game? I wonder why my card was supported in my first tech request but not supported in the last. Don't get burned like I did. I find it interesting that these problems became apparent "after" the Christmas Season sales.

This is the icing on the cake...

For anyone who has played the games in the Rainbow 6 series this is the icing on the cake. To learn about actual tactics, and historic events, and play some of the hardest most challenging levels offered, this is what we have been waiting for. I personally enjoy the field manuals and the reference material, someone really did their homework on this. The format is straight forward and easy to manuever in. The actual game maps are great, and more challenging than earlier maps. And again Red Storm, and Tom Clancy hit one out of the park...

I found that this game is great for anyone wanting to know what it takes to become a member of this elite NATO organization (outside the physical asspect). This game consists of two (2) CDs, the first being the training CD is great for those who want to learn about todays needs to become a member of a CT/HRU (Counter Terrorist/ Hostage Rescue Unit). You read and take tests in fields like surrvalince, Phychology, Historic Missions, etc. After that, it's onto the Mission CD where you can paly nine new missions in Bolivia, the Antartic and Idao. Those plussix new training operations. If you are a CT (Counter Terrorist) buff, you will enjoy this game. The only down side, sometimes in the Training CD, there is a bit of a sound glich but it is minor. Enjoy.
