Is this game any good?
Not necessarily the n64 version.

Great on PC. N64 and PS1 versions are horse shit in both terms of controls and content. So much was cut out in gameplay terms and missions.

[Anonymous No.4506970]

>>4506649
Only on PC, like most old FPS.

[Anonymous No.4507520]

its a classic. but you have to be operator as fuck. one or two bullets will kill.

its like a simulation game. more thought out and slower than, say, rainbow six 3.

its a game you really have to plan out, and they give you really complex mission briefings where you can choose so many fucking options it intimidated me the first time i played it. i copped the dreamcast version for cheap. i wouldnt get it for the 64 tho, like how you avoid C&C for 64, or similar games. just not meant for cartridge and the wacky zaney WOOaUAhhGH fucking controller.

How's the Dreamcast version?

I love it. Disclaimer I'm not a FPS fan otherwise though. Could just be nostalgia because it was a game my friend and I used to play a lot and go back to it when we see eachother nowadays.

[Anonymous No.4507945]

Just finished the PC version a couple of weeks ago. Awesome. Love the planning stages, and as someone said, you can't go in rushing. One shot and it's lights out most of the time. Lots of replay value in the form of trying out different plans, builds, team sizes, etc.

Only "flaw" is the A.I. of your teammates. Sometimes they'll get stuck in a door, ledge, or some other obstacle, but the designers smartly solved this by letting you switch between teams, so you can quickly switch to them, move them past the obstacle, and then switch back to your alpha team. Even so, the A.I. is really no worse than anything in modern games.

Great game.

Fuck the Big Ben eagle watch mission. I can only do it solo as a team just get gang banged at the start.

Original rainbow six is incredible. Every mission is great fun and pulling one off with perfect coordination is satisfying as fuck.

Watching the circles on the map as they clear out the tunnels in the dam before extraction was tense as FUCK. Any enemies on walkways are a death sentence for your team.

Its amazing but feels like a demo for rogue spear

[Anonymous No.4508783]

>>4508641

I agree with this from a technical point of view but bit implementation. I was never as drawn into rogue spear’s story.

Ironically, the first one runs better for me as RS has crazy glitches on the map that made it difficult, although not impossible, to plan.

The joint assault in the nuclear power plant was a far better last level though - R6’s eco lodge was a fucking all ache

[Anonymous No.4508829]

What I really like about shooters like Rainbow Six
is that there is a lot tension, it's something you really don't see much in games let alone shooters

[Anonymous No.4508860]

It was good enough that it inspired so many Clancy games.

[Anonymous No.4508906]

There is a fan-made compilation for PC consisting of original R6, expansion packs and Rogue spear with its own exapnsion packs. Fixed for modern systems and all missions compiled in a single campaign. It's called Rainbow Six Black Ops. Mind you, there is an issue that got overlooked - in original games in one or two occasions there are missions that are designed to play directly after the previous in way that doesn't give you enough time to gear up, meaning that you would go in with remaining ammo and personnel from the previous mission. Neat little way to make shit more interesting and difficult. In this compilation you can still re-equip shit before those missions but no biggie, its only one or two times in total.

That being said I got into it fucking hard core couple of months ago. There are more run n gun missions than I expected from a sim game like this , but there are also a lot of thinking requiring missions too. The theater one in particular was extremely hard but also satisfying.

I got stuck on the final Rogue Spear mission (one where you start outside, make your way inside and there are long rooms with generatos of some sort and glass areas), where you get spotted and it results in mission failure. I have yet to get back into it.

That being said - I recommend this shit wholeheartedly.

What are you running rogue spear on? Did you have any weird graphical glitches on the planning maps? Mine kept filling in triangles with the edges formed by my waypoints. Bizarre.

That final mission was really cool when you had to assassinate both guys at either end at the same time or risk failure.

Windows 7. No, planning was fine. I would get occasional flickering in the main menu and in game, but very occasionally.

Another anon here, tried that as well as the normal version of Rogue Spear but mine is very buggy, it crashes every time I try to start the mission where you are near an airfield.

[Anonymous No.4509746]

How does the SWAT series compare as a tactical shooter?

[Anonymous No.4509930]

>>4509746
SWAT3 is the only comparable one, and my dream tactical shooter would be SWAT3's in mission team control with R6's planning and scope.

SWAT4 is fun, but there's a reason it's the only game in the series not to be endorsed by the LAPD SWAT.

Its on n64 that should answer your question

[Anonymous No.4512662]

>>4506649
So many idiots on this thread. The N64 was the only console version that was any good. In fact, the PS1 version was broken from the get-go. EGM even made fun of the PS1 version for being buggy to the point of being unplayable. I was obsessed with the N64 version, back in the day. But, th PC version will always be the definitive version.

Why argue over the very inferior versions anyway? Do you see hobos arguing whose box houses more of their broken stuff?

The loading times are unbearable and the controller set up is really complicated. A good port nonetheless but it's just better to play it on PC especially considering every toaster can run it.
