Rogue Spear: Covert Ops is the latest expansion set to Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Rogue Spear. As a big fan of Rogue Spear I had to play it, I itched to play it. I ran down to my local software store and grabbed the first copy I could get my sticky little fingers on. I paid the clerk my $30.00 and I was out the door anxious to install my copy of Covert Ops. I raced home as fast as I could get there without getting pulled over (nearly impossible if driving a police car) and tore open the box as gently as I could.

I plopped the CD into the CD tray and began my installation of the game. At this point I had several errors (These errors were because of my machine and not in any way related to the game) and had to soak my computer in water for three hours to get it to work properly. After I got my computer dried off I finally was able to get the game installed. (I’m kidding about the water part don’t do that I know some of you may try but it really isn’t a good idea lemonade works much, much better. For anyone who may be concerned my machine is doing much better it just doesn’t care much for Windows ME)

I began playing the first new mission. I was tasked to lead my squad through the jungle to rescue hostages from a downed airplane. The graphics and the board were incredible. I was pleased to see a good outdoors "jungle" style mission. As any of you Rouge Spear fans know most of the boards are in army installations or urban buildings. The jungle board was and nice change of pace. The board was also difficult and intense. So far I was excited at what the game was showing me.

I passed this mission and moved on to the next, a crashed satellite in a remote arctic base overrun by terrorists. This was a fun mission on a new board but similar to the Rogue Spear in the previous expansion set. I then moved on to the next mission UN inspectors trying to look at a US missile base were shot at by soldiers manning the base. Again this was a new board but similar to what I was used to in the Rogue Spear series. I was having a good time and getting ready for the next mission when I was shocked to see credits!! Wait just a minute I was having fun! We can’t go to credits yet! I want more!!! I felt cheated with tears streaming down my face I wanted to sit in front of the open refrigerator and eat until I felt better. I finally brushed the lasagna off the front off my shirt and went back to see what else came with the game
