Rogue Spear Mission Pack: Urban Operations offers fans of Rogue Spear more of the same game. Considering the popularity of the original, that's a good thing. New missions, multiplayer maps, game types, weapons, and the addition of innocent bystanders elevate the tension nearly maxed out by the original game and its predecessor, Rainbow Six. Urban Operations is a worthy expansion pack and a must-have for fans of the series.

Urban Operations features two new minicampaigns with five missions each. One campaign consists of brand-new missions; objectives include a battle within a Hong Kong hotel and liberating a subway station in London. There's no story line to connect the missions, though they remain exciting and as enjoyable as those in the original game.

The second campaign converts five missions from Rainbow Six, including Amazon, Bio Lab, and Skyscraper. Sampling the old missions in the enhanced graphics engine is fun, but if you're already conquered Rainbow Six the addition of converted missions might feel like an empty rehash.

Urban Operations adds the ability to customize and alter mission goals of Rogue Spear and Urban Operations campaign missions. Additionally, there's a new mission goal mode, Defend, where players defend a particular section of the map from advancing terrorists. Versatile new machine guns add to Rogue Spear's arsenal, and eight new multiplayer maps give online players more locations for cooperative and deathmatch play. --Doug Radcliffe

Pros:

• Customizable missions offer a new experience in familiar territory
• Eight new multiplayer maps enhance Rogue Spear's online component
• New weapons to master in both single and multiplayer modes

Cons:

• Half the campaign missions are simply converted from Rainbow Six
• New campaign missions lack cohesion

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Game, April 23, 2000

By A Customer

This game is the best of the best. Redstorm did a very good job with this mission pack. This game requires you to have Rogue Spear. This game features 5 brand new urban levels including the streets of Istanbul, the London underground, the canals of Venice, the back alleys of Mexico City, and a hotel/crashed bus in Hong Kong. It also has 8 new multiplayer spaces, 4 new weapons including a silenced sniper rifle, a mission creator, and 5 redone levels from the original Rainbow Six. These levels are the Hacienda, the bio lab, the mansion, the skyscraper, and the amazon level.

5.0 out of 5 stars Is this expansion pack better than Rouge Spear itself?, May 8, 2000

By	Barbara A. Gartner "[e-mail]" (New York) - See all my reviews

Most people think expansion packs ar really a rip off. For the most part,it's true, and almost sad. But this expansion pack is more like a 1 player game. It doesn't add any insane new weapons that the world will see a minimum of 90 years from now. The game adds many new levels,and even lets you play some of the levels from the origional Rainbow Six. The new missions are extreme and are hard. Each mission needs careful planning and excecution. Unlike the Rogue Spear, the missions now have pedestrians walking around (which get pesky when your far in a mission and you accidently nail one down, failing the mission). Each mission is set in a city area. The new weapons are very practicle ones, and their not very odd for a Rainbow force to have. One nifty little weapon I seemed to enlighten this game in the sniping area is the silenced sniper rifle. I also noticed some performance issues are fixed. Players can now actually play with the graphics resolution all the way up. If you're planing to buy a game any time soon, make this your choice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good add-on mission pack, April 8, 2000

By	"jdtran" (Fullerton, CA USA) - See all my reviews

The add on pack for Rainbow Six Rogue Spear is a good deal at this price. You get 5 new levels for Urban Operations as you get 5 levels from the original Rainbow Six. There are 4 new weapons in the game as well. The locations for Urban Operations include Italy, London,Instabul, Mexico, and Hong Kong. There are also new multilevel gameplay as well such as 'defend'. The new level missions are challenging, with more terrorists to kill. This is a great add on pack if you want to add more good stuff to an already good game.
