Storm's Covert Ops hit stores this week, and what a game it could have
been. It is the newest game in the Rainbow Six series. They have done a
great job with all the other games in the line, but this one must not
have been too well thought out. First, it comes with two CDs. The
first CD is called the training. Mostly you just read up on
tactics and take a few exams which is a big waist of time. So you're
thinking to yourself, 'what about the game that is why I'm taking
my time to read this?'. Well if you have played other games in this line
you would expect good maps, some new guns, and new moves right? WRONG!
First, there are no new guns. In fact, they have taken guns away. No
more AV Covert gun, or any of the other guns that came out in Urban Ops.
Okay, you're saying to yourself, "I can live with that. They
must have made some good maps". WRONG again. I tried really hard to
come up with at least one nice thing to say about the new maps, and I
couldn't. All of the maps are big walls with teams on either side. Ok so
they put a tree here and a motor home there, that's about it. You fight
through a hole in a fence, or through an open door in a building. They
didn't even edit the Rouge Spear maps and let you play them as well as
they did with the Rainbow Six maps in Rouge Spear. The new maps lack
everything that has made the game series what it has been known for. The
single player games are as they always have been, but nothing new there
really. All hardcore Rainbow Six fans will be very upset about this new
game, and have to give the game a score of 50. So what it really comes
down to is what could have been a great game, or even a good add on
(like Urban Ops) is nothing more then a big let down..
