A game for die hards only

First off all let me say that i am a huge fan of the Rainbow Six series. Therefore my opinion is slightly biased. This game is an add on to a very cool game (Rogue Spear). You must have RS to play it. It adds 2 things seriously lacking; a silenced rifle and 3 machine guns. I really enjoyed it even though it was kind of easy to beat. I've played Rainbow since the begining and I can tell you the classic missions were redone very well. If you like Rougue Spear get this. It is for die hard fans only though.

Urban Ops...Raises the bar

When Urban Ops first came out, like every other Rainbow 6, release I jumped all over it...and I was not dissapointed. The game play is so much better than the original Rainbow 6, and with the new maps and options its a few steps above Rogue Spear...which wasn't any easy task. And after buying Covert Ops, I'm still playing Urban Ops online, on my network, and just for fun. The AI is great, and the custom missions allow for a lot of flexability. Another Homerun for RedStorm, and Tom Clancy.

Good buy-good fun

I was very pleased that Urban Ops is a very entertaining expansion. It's strength is the flexible single player. The new missions are cool and challenging. The addition of a silenced sniper rifle is welcome, I had many problems with sniper rifles that are too loud to be effective in some situations. In the new campaign the tangos are dressed in plain cloths, making them harder to tell from innocent common folk. On more than one occasion I was caught off guard when that peaceful man on the corner turned around with a AK-47! Also that the maps are populated with people other than your teams and the tangos is a nice touch. The custom mission option is fun for some quick action and the old R6 missions are nice to see again with graphics.

The only thing negative I have to say is that the game is really a just rehash of Rogue Spear and Rainbow Six. This might seem obvious but simply that a few new light machine guns can't help the overly "been there, done that" feeling of many of the maps.

Good Job Redstorm

In Urban Operations, a Rogue Spear type gameplay style, which I think is the most addictive out of all expansion packs, packs the most value out of every PC shooter I've played. The Urban Operations' mission level in the Subway (don't ride it; just the station) in London is definitely a thrill to experience, because you can either take the escalator or the back stairway, and kill terrorists the way you want. I love the Instabul level, rain and thunder, with a small canal running through, with terrorists hiding in the underground docks.

What is there not to like about this game? Well, when you beat the addictive 5 missions, you can go to the new Custom Mission and set the terrorist level to 50 max, which is non-stop action when you order frags to ambush about 10 terrorists. This game also gives you "Underwater Habitat" to destroy 50 terrorists, with the wildlife in the deep bottom sea, in the submarine! Sounds like it too!

Not to mention, you also have 3 new weapons--two of which are machine guns and a sniper rifle--I highly recommend that rifle above all others--precise accuracy and it is silent.

Like I said, more action=more fun. If you think Rogue Spear is addictive, wait until Urban Operations; you'll playing this game forever! I play it all the time so get this game now!

Great Game.... So So Mission Pack

I love Rainbow Six and Rogue Spear. I couldn't wait to get this game. I tore it from the hands of the UPS guy and installed it immediately. About 45 minutes later I was triumphant. Very disappointing. I was hoping to be tied up with it for a few days. I liked the new weapons and levels, but for the price I paid, I was very disappointed. I mean, please. . . Even so, the game, what there was of it, was entertaining and suspenseful.

GREAT ADD-ON! JUST A LITTLE TOO FEW MISSIONS

This is really a good add-on if you have already played Rouge Spear many times. Even if it adds some missions (I love the subway station one! ) and new weapons it is still the same game as Rouge. So if you have still to finish the missions in the basic game or you simply enjoy playing online, then stick with the basic and don't bother buying this title.

The major shorfall is in the number of missions (5 completely new plus 5 missions from the classic Rainbow Six). The point is that I believe an add on should give you more in order to be a very good deal. Anyway, the pack also includes a few new maps that you can use either in multiplayer or in solo games while playing in the "lone wolf", "terr. hunt" etc mode. These are good, but again they don't really add a lot to the gaming experience.

The new WEAPONS that are added are nice to fire but not really useful in the scenarios themselves. You can have much more from this point of view by downloading the NATO mods from the net.

My suggestion? If you are a R6 hard core fan (like I am) and you can't wait for new missions and maps, then buy it instantly! If you are not really that interested in the game than keep playing Rouge Spear for a little more, and then if the interest in this title arises again, then go ahead and buy it.

Same Old Stuff

When a Rainbow Six game would come out, I would be excited because I liked the game. Yet now it is losing "brownie points" with me. Game after game, each one only has a few new weapons and places to kill people. That's the other thing, the gun shots to the players and enemies are not realistic. Most people, when shot, bleed more and die in much more painful ways. The game's AI and weapons are the only reason I give this game two stars. If you are a Die Hard fan like I was, then you'll like this. But sooner or later, you will be fed up with this ficticious game. If I were you, I would try Soldier of Fortune. As realistic as can be. It's explosive realism makes it difficult to tell the difference between it being a game or real life.

wow

I love the mod support for this game. I far surpasses the original. now multiple mod's can be used instead of the pesky 1 dominant and the other small mod's that had to be installed manually. i'm real impressed

As Tony the Tiger would say, "Its Grrrrrrrrreat!" I was glad to say the game packaged so well allowing Rogue Spear play from its interface. The custom mission option available allows for some creativity to brew. As an added bonus...the fine people of Redstorm decided to throw in some classic Rainbow Six missions. I was pleased to see this because I am new to the Rainbow Six series. Rouge Spear as the first of the Raibow Six series games that I played. Playing the classic missions has inspired me to buy the original as well as Eagle Watch.
