Rainbow Six team?

[icehollow]

Would anyone be interested in creating a Rainbow six team? also i'm not talking about the latest series of R6 games which were arcadey whatnot , I'm talking about having it faithful to the original book. Anyone who has read the original book will know that like it was said in the book , Rainbow is as black as Black ops come , they don't wear anything that can be used for indentification (which is why i was alway slightly annoyed by the game's arm patches) and more often then not , they wear the uniforms of organizations of the area they are operating in (ala the bank scene in the book , they wear Swiss police identifications with their tactical gear).

I suppose this isn't really a request , but more to give bored add-on makers some ideas. Anyway , what do people think of this idea?

Presumably to make that work it'd have to be multiplayer only
(as the ArmA AI would be well out of its depth) and you'd
have to plan out a detailed campaign first to know what
outfits to give them. You could follow the plot of the original
Rainbow Six book, but it is typical lame Tom Clancy pabulum.

I was already considering something similar but I'm not
convinced that the current weapon aiming, movement and
grenade throwing in ArmA is very well suited to this sort of
stuff.

hahaha , i wasn't talking about a total conversion , (which would be cool IMO) , just a addon units , ex: BW flecktarn units , ect.

P.S didnt you like the plot of the book?

I think this is the gold..

*** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** "they wear the uniforms of organizations of the area they are operating in"


So why do you need special R6 units, the point of them wearing uniforms of local sercives is to make them fit in.. so if they were on sharani, they would propperly look like the US or allied forces ***

*** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** "they don't wear anything that can be used for indentification"


This could be done via the breifing


"Your part of the Rainbow Six team, sent out to save the day with your mates Chaves, Vega and Johnston" ect..



Im not saying this is a bad idea or any thing, im a Fan of mr Clancy and his stuff. But right here i really dont see the point in making a new unit that looks like existing units but with a new name

gah damn you for shooting me down! however i did say "more often then not" , from what i remember most of the time when they didnt have another organization's outift , they just had standard black fatigues and gear.

and about them looking like allied forces on sahrani , technically they wouldnt be showing their faces either.

You asked and it was answered. I like Tom CLancy as well but it sounds like a waste of time really.

Learn some basic texturing skills if no one wants to make your toy for you.

personally i could care less if it gets done , there's always penut's SEK units i was looking foward to and would prefer them to this , but this was just mainly a idea for bored addon makers

Imo a Rainbox6 team without the proper missions (+ custom terrorist AI) wouldn't go very far. I love the idea though.

Doing it in ArmA would give us the chance to actually recreate everything about a classic R6 missions: cutscene with a terror act, the R6 HQ in Halford(?) being called up, the simulated flight from Halford to the local area, a quick overview & briefing, preparations, team going into position, action part and afterwards a little escape mission to avoid the press lol.

I would actually be more interested in doing the real UN Special Team 6. I guess Clancy took them as a base for his Rainbow 6 Unit.
I grow kinda fond of doing the UN ST6, but I don't know if I will have the skill, the time or the dedication to do them this year.

i was just thinking of , that if someone did a mission , the male anchorman/reporter model would be perfect for John clark/R6 lol ***

BTW: Halford is Hereford , the british SAS base. just fixing you up since you asked.
