Urban Operations is an excellent mission pack. The new weapons are awesome and useful, and the levels are fun and exciting. The new features are a great addition and add many hours of adventure. The classic levels that are redone are also very fun with the new weapons. You will enjoy this mission pack if you liked Rogue Spear.

good game but...

this game is really good but the only down side is the price. it's a rip off. i got the rogue spear platinum pack for $[money] and it came with rogue spear, mission pack urban ops, and the rogue spear(also featuring the urban ops) strategy guide. all of this for only $[money], even if u do have regular rogue spear, still buy it and give it to a friend or if u lose ur copy just keep it for safe keeping, or sell it. but i repeat, buy the platinum pack.

Good FPS, but......

This game is definitely a great upgrade from Rogue Spear, there's no arguing that. I mean, this game is very realistic down to the enemies panicking and running away, like real ones might. Then why 4 stars? Because if only I could figure out those callsigns. Even with the guide book I got, I still am clueless and there by resort to completing the missions with one man and no set floor plan. If they had made it simpler, then maybe there would be 5 stars in its future.

But, I'm not going to waste this time complaining. Besides thatm this game has realistic gun fire, muzzle flashes, enemy reactions, rate-of-fire of every gun, accuracy of each one and my god the list goes on..... This game is very much worth the money and should be bought by any die hard FPS player.

Great Expansion to a Great Game

My first encounter with Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six series was the Rogue Spear demo. It was, at the time, the best game I'd ever played, and I found myself playing and replaying the demo mission -- rescuing hostages in the museum of art -- again and again till I knew where every terrorist, civilian and doorway was and could get them out with my eyes closed. In fact, I think I did a couple of times :) .
A couple of months later I decided to finally get myself the full game. I got the Platinum Pack edition, with the Urban Operations expansion pack included. I didn't know much about it at the time, but it turned out to be a great surprise. It comes with ten missions. Five are all new, and a bit tougher than the standard Rogue Spear ones. The other five are Classic missions from the original Rainbow Six, and are maybe a bit easier. There are also a few new weapons and some other little improvements.
The biggest and most exciting thing about Urban Ops, though, (or UO as I have come to call it), is the new Mod system. It gives you a convenient way to install modifications made by fellow players, available for free download on the Internet. Some of these mods are of professional quality and will have you playing the game for years.
While UO is a fantastic single-player game, it really stands out in multiplayer -- which is why it's still so popular online, even with new games with much better graphics coming out by the dozen.
In short, this expansion is easily worth the [money] it costs. I mean, would you rather go out and watch a couple of movies or buy something that'll keep you awake till 1 AM every day for the next three years?
