Multiplayer gamers with 56K connections must be patient to work through these issues and they will be rewarded. There is nothing like random teams and random maps. My first few kills were very thrilling and because of the depth of multiplayer options this game will have great staying power. New multiplayer features include arm patches which help distinguish teams. Another new feature is the expanded weapon choices.
All weapons seem to more closely mirror real-life performance.
The new sniper mode is a standout. Sniper rifles have a longer range and you have the ability to remotely control a sniper's go codes in real time. Snipers have a much bigger role in Rogue Spear than in Red Storm's earlier releases of Rainbow Six and the mission pack. In fact, there were no dedicated snipers in either of the earlier Red Storm releases. Kit restrictions allow a host to limit the game to certain weapons, armor and tools giving the game a great deal of flexibility and adding plenty of replay value.
