The peak of the cover-based Rainbow Six era: squad orders are quick to issue, the rappel-through-window breach is still satisfying, and Terrorist Hunt is the mode that kept it alive for years. The story is throwaway and reuses locations from the first game, and the tactical depth is far shallower than the pre-Vegas entries.

≠ Missing: offline.
The Makarov campaign's conclusion, plus a full multiplayer suite of remastered classic maps and an open-world extraction Zombies mode. The multiplayer is the part that is genuinely well regarded. The campaign is short and widely considered the weakest in the reboot trilogy, and cheating in the online modes is the complaint that dominates recent reviews rather than anything about the design.
