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.
