C i n t r o d u c t i o n Back in Action In 1998, a fairly new company released a new type of game. Red Storm Entertainment developed a first-person shooter that incorporated teamwork with computer-controlled operatives and a realistic combat engine. This game was based on Tom Clancy’s novel Rainbow Six. Unlike other games of the genre, Rainbow Six focused on counterterrorist operations with unprecedented realism. Mistakes didn’t just cost your character a small chunk from the life bar, if the enemy hit you, you were down. A complete planning phase was also incorporated into the game, allowing a player to control up to four teams at once by giving orders to each team in advance. In addition to interesting and challenging missions, Rainbow Six included a multiplayer format that allowed players to work as teams to accomplish an objective. In early 1999, the Eagle Watch mission pack was released, adding five new mis- sions to those in Rainbow Six . Red Storm Entertainment listened to their customers, and in the fall of 1999 they released the sequel to Rainbow Six — Rogue Spear . This was a new game rather than an add-on, and it had a new engine. The game incorporated many of the aspects asked for by loyal fans of the original. Rogue Spear included several new weapons and abilities that made it easier to give orders to computer-controlled operatives. Then, in early 2000, the Urban Operations mission pack was released, adding five new missions and five original Rainbow Six missions that had been updated for Rogue Spear . Continuing to build on the series, Covert Ops Essentials was a stand-alone game using the Rogue Spear engine. It offered several new missions and a CD-ROM training guide on counterterrorism. Now Red Storm Entertainment has produced Black Thorn . This stand-alone game has a new campaign of nine linked missions involving an unknown enemy that draws the RAINBOW team into a trap. I have had the opportunity to work with the Rainbow Six series since the beginning when I wrote the strategy guide for the original and also have been able to work with Red Storm Entertainment first-hand. Through all of this Rainbow Six immersion, I’ve enjoyed playing the games, both individually and with other players, and I hope that you will enjoy this newest installment as much as I have. 1 ™ ™ P r i m a ’ s O f f i c i a l S t r a t e g y G u i d e Black Thorn— the S gy Guide This guide contains hints, tips, tactics and strategies to help you become a proficient counterterrorist operative, capable of taking on the worst the world throws at you. Many missions in Black Thorn require careful planning and coordination of various teams, plus sound tactical skills and a quick trigger finger. Don’t expect to get through these missions using the same strategies you would for a standard first-person shooter. Black Thorn requires careful thought and quick reflexes. This guide is organized into three main parts. Section 1 provides the basics for the game. Chapter 1 covers the tactics of Close-Quarters Battle. Chapters 2 and 3 provide detailed infor- mation on each of the RAINBOW operatives and their equipment. Chapter 4 guides you through planning a successful mission. Section 2 provides a walkthrough for each mission in the Black Thorn campaign. The walkthroughs offer advice on which operatives you should use, what weapons to equip them with, how to plan the mission, and the best way to execute the mission. Section 3 covers the other types of missions in Black Thorn . Chapter 14 discusses each of the Custom Mission types and gives tips for each, while Chapter 15 discusses the multiplayer missions. Good luck and good hunting! 2 Black Thorn the S tra tra te te gy Guide [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ] |
