Goddamn, practically 20 years later, and this games intro still gives me goosebumps. I remember playing as a 12 or 13 year old and just absolutely getting pumped up when this intro played.
Rainbow Six Siege is a joke compared to the intensity, fun, skill and actual pressure from playing a game such as this! R61 to R6 Las Vegas 2 was awesome!
@box tank what are you talking about? Siege is pure arcade MOBA shooter hybrid shit. I still don't get why are people so in love with retarded rock paper scissors mechanic in a game that was supposed to be hardcore tactical shooter game. Hell there even isnt ANY customization available! And NO dont tell me that shit that you can customize hero. I want fucking MP5SD, M9SD, flashbangs and frags on EVERY MATCH Siege does not allow that, so there is no customization at all. Previous R6 games had loads of gear to choose from LOADS and there were NO restrictions The only reason they have heroes with limited customization and speacial abilities is to get more money from morons that praise Siege
@@typhon084 sorry, but Lockdown was a fucking joke and Vegas was an arcade bullshit :-) Raven Shield was decent with in action commands to your team which was great, what was not great at all were the stats for guns and the stupidity of reducing dmg when you attach silencer lol... Rogue Spear is to this date the best Rainbow Six game and for some reason its not possible to buy it anymore anywhere :(
i would exclusively play in Observer Mode. i'd spend hours making my perfect, meticulously crafted plan, then just watch it unfold without ever taking control myself, because i would always ruin my own plan.
@@joehavin1 I know that I'm just pointing out they probably consulted him since he was the author of rainbow six and these were stories of the continuation of team rainbows ops just not in the books
The feel of "responsibility" was huge in Rainbow 1 - 3 The terrorists will kill the hostage immediately if he spot Rainbow Operators and doesn't wait or give you chances to rescue the hostage like modern games. The russians were really strong in Rainbow Six. They will headshot you with no mercy.
Name a few please? I havent played a good shooter game since FC3 I think. FC4 could be worth the shot as well but still thats not really a lot. And for MP there is Insurgency but thats about it...
About 4 or 5 years ago, my friend and I played this game online. I think we were the only 2 people online, because we were in a public domain where anyone can join us... but no one else showed up. So we decided to play the campaign coop on Elite just as a 2-man team. Hardest game ever. We beat the first level after numerous tries, which was pure luck the 1 time we beat it because somehow the enemies next to the hostage room started to die on their own (suicide?). Quickly we seized the opportunity and without planning I threw the flashbang in and my friend just happened to run in at the right time through the other door and took out the guys in the hostage room. After the mission we joked that it was the mummies' curse that killed the guys next to the hostage room and gave us the win. We never beat mission 2. I think it's impossible with only 2 players. Sometimes they would kill the hostages before we even entered the ship even if we took out the guys outside quietly. We would just be moving quietly no where near the hostage room, when suddenly we hear 4 shotgun blasts followed by "mission failure, the hostages were killed". We would joke that the hostages said something annoying to their captors and got themselves shot. The times when we actually rescued the hostages, the tangos would blow up the ship. Since it was just 2 of us, we could not snipe the detonator-holding tango outside without getting the hostages killed, and we could not take out the detonator guy after rescuing the hostages. These enemies too. Give them a pistol and they can snipe you from across the map on elite. Great game though.
For me the online experience was as follows. Entering room. "Are you from a nordic country?" Me typing: No But I have good intern-- *you were kicked out of the room*
We all lived this. Incredible game! I don’t think anything matches this in terms of storyline and tactical planning. I’m going to give Ready or Not a try!
I played this when I was 11. My dream for a long time was to become a SWAT operative like Chavez Ding. Now I am 26 and I still use this video for motivational purposes. Man codename: Rainbow for life!
The sniper kill at 00:48 has always made me laugh. The sniper is close enough to take out the other guy with a gently tossed rock, but NOPE! Like a true badass, he uses his PSG1 anyway.
I was playing this on the Dreamcast in 2001 (the last days of its life, games were dirt cheap!). I remember popping it in after 9/11/01.... and giving a jaw dropping O-M-G. Though I played it many, many times up to that point, it was somehow a new game afterwards.
Well except in Balkans it is a faithful even if rough description of world in 2001, but we must add Lybia and Sub saharian Africa if they would make an update of this tough but brilliant game in 2016
It did kind of, when this game came out, before 9/11, NATO had it's guard down after the Cold War, nowadays both Russians (like Maxim Kutkin in the game) have allied with the Shiah Muslims that at times side with Sunni Extremists (Like Same Vezizarde) and both are still a threat to the West.
I remember when Ghost Recon came out in 2001, I started playing it in 2002 (poor as f*ck) had to wait. Anyway, fast forward to 2008, BAM.. Russia-Georgia "war". Blew my mind. Tom Clancy was known to "predict" this stuff. Either that or the wars were planned/stewing for a long time.
I loved how a bullet hole would show up wherever you shot them, especially when it was right in the forehead! There was also one awesome death animation where the tango would put his hand wherever you shot him and then see the blood and look up stunned. If it was in the center of his back, he would try to reach it, but couldn't.
god i had good times with this game and i was only like 7 when i playd this game....and think its been only 8 years since we've gone from these graphics to ones today!
Dammit full on goosebumps and almost tears in my eyes rewatching this intro! R6 was so amazing and well written back in the day. How Ubi let the series devolve like it has is beyond me.
I liked the way we could plan the attack, or participate, or even just give the go codes and they would do the wet work; made me feel like a commander/ Solider at the same time. I can still remember how my heart would pump so fast with every breach and clear order I gave, and how sorry I felt when I lose one of my soldiers !!! Damn It !! why cannt they just bring those days back ??!!!
no other games that came out after r6 RS even came close... (raven shield, urban operations, black arrow) This was one of the first, first person shooter games capable of playing online with a mass population to play with through mplayer, followed by gamespy. The authenticity and feel of the game was one that many games cannot even contend with to this day. Wonderful gameplay and even better experience when played online.
You know what amazed me about the Rainbow series? They were incredibly accurate about the world we live in now. The world is a very dangerous place now, no denying it.
I was 15..my mom got me a computer from rent a center...then she bought me a gateway windows 98 PC....I buy unreal and rainbow six rogue spear,..i fall in love...
You might be interested in Ground Branch. Red Storm was bought by Ubisoft, but some of the developers that were in Red Storm now formed Blackfoot Studios, out of disgust for what happened to Rainbow Six. Ground Branch will be their first full game, and should be somewhere between Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon in terms of gameplay> Their filosofy is NORG: Natural Order of Realistic Gameplay.
The golden age of tactical FPSes, ladies and gentlemans....everything you like, every kind of realism, every war simulator, every tactical realism.......THIS IS WHERE IT STARTED!
I miss this game so much. I even made a little mod a long time ago so my AI mates could perform better and after that, "I" was the one having a hard time keeping up with them lol! XD There were also some insane white-knuckle moments where a mission could either end up successfully in just under a minute or fail miserably. Damn. I wish I never lost my old copy of the game. :(
@@pko_2.0_pop7 "Breach bang and clear! Go when ready!" SWAT 3 was crazy in he way back when, using your gun was the absolute last resort (and you got penalized for using weapons if you didn't have to, you are supposed to SAVE people, not kill them (key difference between military and cops). They don't make games like this anymore :( My favourite is still SWAT 4 though, it mixed action with tactics perfectly in my opinion. When you went "dynamic" it was awesome. Flashbangs going off and screams "POLICE!!! DROP YOUR WEAPON!!!!" (Please drop it now... don't make me do it...)
I loved this when I was younger. Watching it parts of the female voice came back to me until I could remember what she was going to say before she said it. Good times, viva la rogue spear.

Very true!!!
Man, modern Rainbow games have *nothing* on the original 3. This one though, is my personal favorite.
This kept all the best parts of R61 and fine tuned the flaws. Loved it!

Rogue Spear is to this date the best Rainbow Six game and for some reason its not possible to buy it anymore anywhere :(
1999 was a great year for tactical shooters. We got this and Hidden and Dangerous.
True, those are the two games that I played back in the day :)
I wasn't crazy about the first H&D but I played the second one and loved it.
Rogue Spear and Delta Force 2 for me.
Facts!
Don't forget SWAT 3 !
I can't tell you how many times I've watched this opening movie. God it's been over 22 years since I played this.
Man this was the best instalment. Spent more time planning the missions than actually playing them
i would exclusively play in Observer Mode. i'd spend hours making my perfect, meticulously crafted plan, then just watch it unfold without ever taking control myself, because i would always ruin my own plan.
I would like to see this game re-mastered
Me too. :-)
Nah this game hit the nail on the head any attempt at a re-master would be a disappointment
DarkAngelPaladin Its not even in Alpha stage yet,,, but "Ground Branch" may the game that brings back the true tactical shooter experience.
Would be awful. The modern player lacks the intelligence and attention span
3 years later... Siege is a casual shooter game with pink guns that has absolutely NOTHING to do with Rainbow Six...
After 22 years from the release I watch this intro with the same excitement...
These were the hardest RB6 games ever made....planning, problem solving, speed and surprise,,, The old RB6 games were a breed of their own.
Facts!
Im sure they consulted with Tom Clancy to help them make these games at least the first 3
@@ace2359 Tom Clancy was an amazing writer, but he wasn’t a counter terrorism guy, .. he wasn’t even military.

And this intro is awesome!!
Rogue Spear...the very first moment when i experienced adrenaline and responsibility...
We still play these maps in Rainbow Six 3 today!
That, and the 5 finger discount.

The terrorists will kill the hostage immediately if he spot Rainbow Operators and doesn't wait or give you chances to rescue the hostage like modern games.

This intro gives me such nostalgia, I remember burning a copy of this game for my friends copy of Half-Life. Those were the days!
Well, after watching this trailer, I think we can all agree nothing has changed in the world.
Game from 1999: "The year is 2001, the world is a very dangerous place..."
This wasn't a game, it was a prophecy 0.0
The first Ghost Recon predicted the Invasion of Georgia in 2008. It came out in 2001.
Read all of the operations this game had
@@TheBigshot19didnt play that one but im not surprised
I had the platinum pack on PC as a kid. I Remember *trying* to play online with my crappy dial up. Good times.

I remember been 12 and playing this when it came out and the Intro would give me chills
The year its 2023...2024...2025...(anda the rest of the years...) and you are on the most Epic and tactic Game. GO!, GO!, GO! MOVE IT!

I love how the "control" says "The year is..."
This brought back alot of memories. Man this game was awesome online, spent many weekends playing as a kid
Loved!!! This intro music!! Had to get the MODS the "Blackhawk Down" MOD was incredible!!!
Sends a chill down my spine.
Well, this aged rather well didn’t it?
It wasn't supposed to be a guide! :(
Years of my live I'll never get back.. I get fired up just listening to the intro.
I remember playing this awesome game back in 2001.

It was certainly spot on, brother. Tom Clancy is a military genius. He knew the Cold War would have its consequences.
This was a flipping amazing game. Ghost Recon is another excellent Clancy game.
This brings back sooo many memories
THIS game is better then 90% of the current game market
remember that mission where u had just one guy and you had to sneak into a house and plant 3 bugs? That was the best level ever
This intro is still better than most games out there today lol
This is by far my Ultimate best game that I played n my life
I loved that ship mission!
