Rogue Spear: Urban Operations

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.

Very fun, and will entertain you for hours!

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?

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

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.

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.

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 levels, finally fixes AI

The four new locations/ levels included in this mission pack are great, fun, and have excellent and beautiful textures. The gameplay in them is great, and I especially like the bombed out city level. The pack also adds four of the classic Rainbow Six levels (some of my favorites) for you to play with the improved graphics and AI. My favorite thing about this expansion pack is that it finally fixes the flawed AI. Be prepared to finally face a challenge killing off deadly enemy soldiers and cunning snipers. The new multiplay maps included are also great. I only wish that there were a patch for Rouge Spear that adds the new AI code. Finally, the improved MOD support is great! You can use multiple mods at the same time, disable default weapons and kits, and use mods online WITHOUT changing any default files. A must have for anyone who has Rainbow Six: Rouge Spear!
