kinda rough on the edges after 20 years
i don't think this aged well
The high bar by which I judge any game claiming to be a tactical shooter. I long for a game that could recapture the strategic and tactical feelings this game seamlessly provides.
Played in coop which is a fair bit different from sp, no map squad planning and no story cutscenes (which sucks), but planing and coordinating with your mate throughout the campaign levels makes up for that, and it's not instant game over if you die once as each player gets a full squad.
Levels with hostages and bombs can be a bit annoying and trial and error, as the AI rushes to detonate or kill the hostages, but once you know the locations is satisfying to plan a "tactical" entrance.
Maps are varied and look nice, shooting is good enough, the AI is not rubbish, and the game has lan play.

tactical shooter game
This and SWAT 4 are absolute masterpieces, the main menu themes from both games are memorable and the gameplay too, you can tell by the theme from this game that this is a real rainbow six game, if only after 2010 game companies weren't that greedy nowadays...
