JediMasterEd Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 Ok, in minutes, i'll be heading out buying the Rainbow Six Collectors Edition that comes with most of the games and I'm curious if the game it worth it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Rhett Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 Well, here are the games scores at IGN. Rainbow Six 9.4 Rainbow Six Mission Pack: Eagle Watch Action 8.6 Rainbow Six: Covert Operation Essentials Action 6.4 Is there anyone here who's played them and can give him some more input than the measly amount I can? .... ah screw it, just get Serious Sam: Second Encounter.

Havoc Stryphe Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 I own all the Rainbow 6: Rogue Spear games (Rogue spear, Covert Ops, and Black thorn) as well as the new series Rainbow 6: Ghost Recon and those games rock! the Rogue Spear games have alot of planning and strategy though. However, Ghost Recon is all the action minus the hours of planning! But I don't know much about the original Rainbow 6 games, sorry. But if they are anything like the latter games then they are well worth it! Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young David Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 Another useful tip: Read the book. Rainbow Six was original a book by Tom Clancy (the game is by Tom Clancy's company). It really is a cool book with lotsa anti-terrorist action. recomendation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Storm Rising The Hunt for Red October The Cardinal in the Kremlin Patriot Games Clear and Present Danger Without Remorse The Sum of all Fears Debt of Honor Executive Orders Rainbow Six The Bear and the Dragon I have them all in my personal Library!

R6 was the first Clancy I read. Jack Ryan isn't in it (well .. he is, but I didn't realize that at the moment) and it's pretty clear who Clark is. Ofcourse the others are good too. Without remorse is the last one I've read... It rawks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It rawks Yeah, it's probably the second best book as a stand alone but Chavez is introduced in "Clear and Present Danger" and John Clark is introduced in "Cardinal in the Kremlin". And both characters are in every book after those points (exception being "Without Remorse", Chavez isn't in that book), so you miss alot of background and character development on the two main characters in "Rainbow 6". Heck, "Without Remorse" is just about John Clark (and is the only truly stand alone in the series), which you now know, so it really gives you insight into Clark's persona. But, like you mentioned you can do it, but as a Clancy enthusiast, I would recommend to read them all from the beginning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heavyarms Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 heck yeah. I love them. If you need help planning, post back. I can give you some pointers on how. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediMasterEd Posted February 20, 2002 Author Share Posted February 20, 2002 ok, got back a little while ago, $62.99 for Rainbow Six, Eagle Watch, Rogue Spear, Urban Ops., Covert Ops Essentials, and Covert Ops Intel along with a large Prima Stratigy Guide. Not a bad price for these but now i'm totally broke! Thanks for the help AU_heavyarms but i had one of my friends explain it to me and i caught on quick on planning. I love these games...though i've only played Rainbow Six and Eagle Watch cause all of the other games locked my computer up but its a good game. oh and Boba Rhett, go and get the game. it's well worth the money for what i played. I heard though that the Multiplayer games are better than the campaigns themselves. is this true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthfergie Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 You can buy the Rogue Spear Platinum Pack...get it. There are TONS of mods for this game and it has a HUGE online gaming community. Alot of the people have gone over to Ghost Recon (PCGamer game of the Year) So if you can you might want to grab it instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediMasterEd Posted February 21, 2002 Author Share Posted February 21, 2002 eh,i think i'll buy Ghost Recon seperatly when i have the money (I'm flat out broke!) but at the same time, i was looking for a new computer so...i may no buy Ghost Recon or Rogue Spear Plantium Pack...whatever that is.

darthfergie Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 Rogue Spear Platinum Pack has Rogue SPear and several X-Pacs for it and the Strat Guide for $50.00 or less (can't remember price exactly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heavyarms Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 also, in Rogue Spear, Sniping is the hardest to do. The positions are hard to set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heavyarms Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 Ed, one other thing: you need help with recon missions, I will help you. They are hard, especially the one in the office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
