The planning stage determined elements such as the path the AI-controlled squads would follow during the mission, as well as where they will deploy devices such as flashbangs or door breaching charges. Tools such as thicker body armor, automatic rifles, and grenades have little value before the player grows accustomed to the gameplay.īefore each mission is a planning stage, during which the player is given a briefing, and then chooses the operatives to be involved in the mission, their weapons, equipment and uniforms.
To add to the realism, all in-game characters, terrorists, hostages and Rainbow operatives, can be wounded or dispatched in just fractions of a second. Rainbow Six is a tactical shooter, which focuses more on stealth and tactics than on sheer firepower.
