By recreating some of the most infamous terrorist incidents in history, its diabolical leader, once rejected for mental imbalance from Team Rainbow, plans to destroy Rainbow once and for all And it's up to Team Rainbow to save the day. This stand-alone expansion pack does NOT require Rogue Spear to play has new weapons, new multiplayer maps, and new missions rounds out this latest and probably last expansion pack for the Rogue Spear franchise.
Rogue Spear, the sequel to Rainbow Six, is a tactical shooter that emphasize coordination and tactics. In the one-shot-you're-dead world, you have to save the hostages and take down the tangoes terrorists by selecting the right members, outfit them with the right tools, then execute the plan in first-person perspective.
There are no reviews yet. Be the first one to write a review. Rainbow Six became famous for its awesome multiplayer games and with Rogue Spear they have tried to do the same. There are a few bugs on the multiplayer side; games seem to lag a bit if you get more than four people playing. I also noticed that with more than six people the game tends to warp.
Which can be frustrating when you are hot on the tail of your buddy and you suddenly find yourself back around the corner from which you came. If Red Storm works the kinks out with a patch fix then Rogue Spear will be just as popular as the original for multiplayer. The enemy AI is vastly improved from the first Rainbow Six. Terrorists will not hesitate to kill hostages, nor do they just stand there and watch as one of their buddies gets killed; instead they will come looking for you.
If you are playing the single player game where you are using fellow team members the AI is great, but when you play in lone wolf mode with just you and 30 terrorists, they become dumb in some situations.
If you find a nice spot and kill a guy, his buddies will come check out what happened, so you can then kill them also. After awhile it reminded me of stacking firewood as far as being able to kill 10 guys in one doorway. If you have played the first installment of this game you will be able to tell really quickly that this is where the game designers really went at it with the improvements. The weather effects have also really helped the overall feel of the game. You could be on a mission inside Russia with snow falling around you and if you move you can see your tracks in the snow, which makes that pretty cool.
I also liked the rain effect that was added to the game; in outside missions, it could really hamper your visibility while trying to take out a terrorist. Everything is so angular and bare, though the team has done its best with the tools available. In fairness, the character animations are still among the best of any game in this genre. At one point I burst into a room in the Milan mission and the terrorist jumped onto a table, then collapsed on top of it, limbs hanging over its edge.
And the sound is fantastically atmospheric. Gameplay still rocks for creep-'em-up fans, though terrorists still behave with the intelligence of fishes while being able to pop slugs off like Russian sharpshooters.
Which makes it especially satisfying wielding the fabulous new silenced P90 in anger - its rate of fire clears rooms out in pico-seconds. Multiplayer fanatics, on the other hand, will enjoy mowing the opposition down with an M60 machine gun.
If you're a Rogue Spear fan waiting for Ghost Recon, then Black Thorn is expensive for what is effectively an add-on pack - but since it includes the complete game engine, you won't need the original to play, making it an attractive purchase for newcomers, especially those without a hugely powerful machine - if you can stomach the dated graphics.
