With the end of the Cold War and the stabilizing effects of the Super Powers,
terrorism has become one of the greatest threats to security in nations all
around the world. While terrorism has existed in some form for centuries, it
has become more effective with the development of the mass media and more
powerful with the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
Terrorism involves illegal violent actions taken by a group of individuals in
order to further their ideology or beliefs. The word illegal is important. Since
many terrorist organizations consider themselves armies, they do not have the
same legal status as a military of a recognized nation. In the past, terrorism
has relied on high profile acts committed to attract attention to them and their
cause. With 24-hour world-wide television news networks, a single terrorist can
shock the entire world by blowing up a daycare center or gunning down innocent
bystanders.
Fear is the main weapon of the terrorist. The fear that what was seen on television can happen anywhere. While bloody and violent, most terrorist actions
were on a small scale, usually involving casualties of less than a few hundred.
Now terrorists can threaten entire cities or nations with weapons of mass
destruction. Casualties in these cases would number in the millions.
In the recent past, governments have declared war on terrorist organizations
and their leaders. However, cruise missile attacks and other conventional military means have proved largely unsuccessful. Instead, a top secret organization by the name of RAINBOW was created to deal with unconventional threats
with unconventional means.
OVERVIEW
In Rogue Spear, you must lead RAINBOW, a covert international counter-terrorist team set up to combat terrorism around the world. As part of the operations
assigned to you, you must select team members, outfit them with weapons and
equipment, plan the actions your team will take and then execute the mission
to achieve the objectives. The game consists of 18 missions which are linked
together to form a campaign.
The Rogue Spear campaign takes place after the campaigns in RAINBOW SIX and the
Eagle Watch Mission Pack. If you have played these previously, you will already
be familiar with the game interface. However, review this manual as many changes
and additions have been made. There are new weapons, new operatives, new actions
and orders and much more.
Now don’t just sit there. Get going! You have the world to save.

BEGINNING A NEW CAMPAIGN
Rogue Spear contains eighteen different single player missions which
together form a campaign. Let’s get
one started. From the Main Menu
screen, click on Single Player. This
takes you to a new screen. Since there
is no campaign in progress, the New
Campaign window is open. Type in a
name for your campaign. Change the
difficulty level to Recruit and click
on Enter. This will take you to the
“Planning Phase” for the first mission. It consists of several different screens which let you plan your
current mission prior to executing
it.
PLANNING PHASE
The first part of the “Planning Phase”
is the Briefing Screen. Here you can
learn about the current mission. In
the upper right are the stats for the
first mission: codenamed Pandora
Trigger. In the center at the top is
the Objectives Box. It lists what must
be accomplished in order for your mission to be a success. For this first
mission, you must rescue all the
hostages. Along the left side of the
screen is the Briefing Box. Control is
the first briefing you receive. It
basically brings you up to speed on
the situation. Click on John Clark to
go to the next briefing. Mr. Clark is
the commander of RAINBOW and will
offer some advice for the mission. At
the bottom of the list are the Mission
Orders. Once you have read all the
briefings, go to the bottom of the
screen and click on the right green
arrow. This will take you to the next
screen.
You are now on the Intel Screen. Here
you can find additional information
pertaining to the mission. Since this
is your first mission, there is not
much to view. In the top left is the
Category Box. The intel subjects are
divided into four categories. People
provides information on the personalities involved in the missions. If you
look down at the Subject List, there
is only one name: John Clark. Read
quickly about your commander and then
in the Category Box, click on
Organizations. Now the Subject List
contains two names; Islamic Vanguard
and RAINBOW. Read about each. The
other two categories are empty to
begin with.
Rogue Spear is complex simulation of real-world hostage rescue operations. As
such, we highly recommend that you read each section to acquaint yourself with
some of the concepts, terminology and game functionality explained throughout
the manual.
We also realize that some players would rather start playing the game right
away and learn the basics first, then go ahead and find out more about the game
interface mechanics of play and other details. If you are one of those who want
to play immediately, read this brief walkthrough of the first mission, which
will teach you the basics as you play.
On the other hand, if you want to learn all about the game before playing, skip
this section for now and go to the section on Game Menus. After reading the
Game Menus, Planning Phase and Action Phase sections, come back here to begin
the tutorial.

However, after some missions, a news
story about it appears under Newswire
and all other subjects fall under
Miscellaneous. Now click on the right
green arrow again to go to the next
screen. A window will pop up asking if
you want to use the HQ’s plan for the
mission. For all missions, headquarters will provide the planning if you
desire. However, since we are going to
plan this mission ourselves, click on
No.
Pick your operatives for the mission.
The Roster Screen is where you choose
which operatives to take on the mission. It is important to take the
right operatives for each mission.
Each operative has his or her own
strengths and weaknesses. The right
two thirds of the screen contains
information on the currently selected
operative. To look at the dossier for
another operative, click on one of the
names in the list on the left. To add
an operative to your mission team,
highlight their name, then click on
the Add Bar above the list of names.
The portrait of the operative will
then appear in one of the boxes in the
top left. For each mission, you are
limited to a maximum of eight operatives. However, you can take as few as
you want. For this mission we will
take eight. Select the following
operatives and add them to the mission
team: Arnavisca, Bogart, Burke,
Chavez, Filatov, Haider, Hanley, and
Weber. To find the last operative, you
must scroll down to the Sniper section
of the list. When all eight slots are
filled, click on the right green arrow
to continue.
Equip your team.
It is now time to equip your team on
the Kit Screen. The eight operatives
are listed along the left side of the
screen. The rest of the screen consists of equipment boxes. Each operative comes with a default set of
equipment. However, we are going to
customize things a bit. You should
begin with Arnavisca who is already
selected.
First you will assign uniforms to all
the operatives. Click on the graphic
of the operative in the middle of the
screen to bring up the Uniform Menu.
Click on Street Medium. Notice how the
graphic changes to the new uniform.
Click on the check mark to select the
uniform. Now click on the blue button,
containing three lines and the
arrows, above the graphic. This
assigns the uniform to all of the
operatives.
Next, assign primary weapons to the
operatives. Now, click on the picture
of the submachine gun. This brings up
the Primary Weapons Menu. Select the
HK MP5/10SD. This is a submachine gun
with a built in silencer. Assign this
to all operatives by clicking on the
assign to all the button above the
graphic of the weapon.
The third step is to assign secondary
weapons. Clicking on the picture of
the Pistol brings up the Secondary
Weapons Menu. Select the HK .45
Mark23. Assign this to all operatives.
Now you need to choose items to fill
the bottom two boxes, Slots 1 and 2.
Click on the Slot 1 Box to bring up a
menu of items. While still on
Arnavisca, select a Breaching Charge
for Slot 1. Click on Slot 2 and select
Flashbangs.
Switch to Chavez by clicking on his
name in the list to the left. Assign
him some Frag Grenades in Slot 1 and
Flashbangs in Slot 2.
Give all the remaining operatives
Flashbangs in both Slots 1 and 2.
Weber needs a sniper rifle. Assign him
the PSG-1 sniper rifle. Change
Weber’s uniform to Black Light.
Click right green arrow to go to tem
screen.
The Team Screen is where you divide
your operatives into fire teams. The
operatives are listed on the left and
four colored team boxes are located to
the right. To add an operative to a
team, highlight their name and then
click on the Add button on the appropriate team. Assign Arnavisca, Bogart
and Burke to the Blue Team. Assign
Chavez, Filitov and Haider to Red.
Assign Hanley and Weber to Green. To
choose a team leader, highlight an
operative, then click on the Promote
button to move their name towards the
top of the team list. Team leaders
should be Bogart, Chavez and Weber.
Now click on the right green arrow to
continue.
The Planning Screen is where you will
spend most of your time during the
“Planning Phase”. Here you give each
member of your team orders so he or
she knows exactly what to do, how to
do it and when to do it during the
mission. You begin with the Blue Team
selected and the encircled blue triangle on the top left is lit up. Click
on the “Recon” tab below it. The Recon
Menu let’s you examine the known positions of Hostages, Terrorists and
Landmarks on the map to the right.
“Legend” lists what each symbol on the
map represents. Cycle through the
Hostages by clicking on the arrow to
the right of the name. Do the same
with the other categories, then click
on the Orders tab.
Plot each team’s waypoints on the
map and give orders where needed.

Blue Team’s Plan
All of your teams must start out at an
Insertion Zone. These are represented
on the map by a light blue rectangle.
Move the map so you can see the one
near the top. To move the map, click
on the Map Control arrows below the
map. You can also zoom in and out with
the magnifying buttons. The next button to the right changes levels so you
can see the second story. The far
right button shows a 3-D view of the
map. To place the first waypoint for
Blue Team, click on the Insertion
Zone. Place the next waypoint near the
second door from the right. The green
lines represent doors. While at this
waypoint, go over to the Orders Menu
and click on Breach Door under
Actions. This orders the team to
breach the door.
Note: You cannot give Special
Action orders unless you’re in a
position to perform the action.
In this case, if you do not place your
waypoint close enough to the door, the
option to breach it will not be available. Place the next waypoint up and
to the right so they are just above
the rightmost door. Click on Alpha
under the Go Codes and then Cover
under Actions. The Go Code order tells
the team to wait at the waypoint until
it receives the assigned Go Code.
Without Go Codes, the team would trav-
el from waypoint to waypoint without
stopping. Go Codes let you coordinate
the actions of multiple teams. Cover
tells them to defend their position in
a 180 degree arc. To set the arc,
right click on the map and a targeting icon will appear. Place it so the
team is facing the opened door. Now,
plot waypoints to lead the team into
the museum, heading to the left until
they are just to the left of the double staircase. Here, assign them Go
code Bravo and order them to Cover
facing the top left. Finally plot waypoints back through the main doors and
to the Extraction Zone represented by
the white rectangle.
Red Team’s Plan
With Blue Team ready, click on the red
triangle to begin giving orders to Red
Team. Start them off at the Insertion
Zone in the bottom left. Place the
next waypoint near the door and click
on Frag Room under Actions. This
orders the team to throw in a Frag
Grenade as soon as they open the door.
Continue up the stairs and down the
corridor leading right and up. Just
outside the second door you come to,
near the small flight of stairs leading to the right, use the Frag Room
order again, then head all the way to
the right, then up and then back to
the left, visiting all the rooms on
the second floor.
Head down the single flight of stairs
near the center of the map, then
towards the room in the top left.
Place a waypoint outside the door, and
a little below it. Order the team to
Flashbang Room, then enter it. Walk
near the other door in the room, then
click on the Charlie Go Code and
Defend under Actions. Defend
instructs the team to be prepared for
terrorists in all directions or 360
degrees. Also click on Escort under
Mode and Blitz under Speed. Escort
orders the team to take any hostages
with them while Blitz has them running
instead of walking. Plot the next waypoints to lead them out the main
doors, to the left side of the stairs
outside and then on to the Extraction
Zone.
Green Team’s Plan
Green Team is your sniper team. Click
on the green triangle and then place
their first waypoint in the top
Insertion Zone. Plot the next above
the door the Blue team will breach.
Here, click on the Alpha Go Code and
Snipe under Actions. Snipe orders the
team to set up the sniper to cover a
very narrow arc. Right click somewhere inside the museum so the sniper
has a line of sight to the point
through the opened door. Next, send
them inside and down near the staircase Red Team will come down. Place
the waypoint just to the left and
below the staircase and click on Go
Code Bravo. Also order them to Snipe
at the doorway above and to the left
of the stairway. The following waypoints should lead out the main doors
and to the Extraction Zone. You are
now finished with this screen, so
click on the right green arrow to continue.
The Execute Screen is where you can
choose which team you want to control
at the start of Action Phase of the
mission. You can also choose to just
watch the mission by clicking on the
button in the lower left of the
screen. In this mode, you can view the
mission from the perspectives of each
of the three teams, but do not control any of them. Deselect Watch
Mode. By default, you will be placed
in control of the Blue team. When you
are ready, click on the right green
arrow again. A window will pop up asking if you wish to continue to the
“Action Phase”. Click on Yes.

ACTION PHASE
The “Action Phase” is where you execute the plan you created in the
Planning Phase. Unless you are in
Watch Mode, you control the team
leader of the currently selected
team. After the Action Phase loads, a
window will appear asking if you are
ready to begin. Click on OK. The
screen is divided into two main parts.
The Cinema Window is the 3-D view of
the mission area. Below it is the
Action Bar. Centered in the Cinema
Window is the targeting reticule.
This is what you use to aim your
weapon. As you move and rotate, the
reticule will grow in size to show the
decrease in accuracy while moving. On
the left side of the Action Bar is the
Map Window. This will be disabled in
resolutions lower than 640 X 480.
It is centered on the current team.
The top of the map is always the
direction the team leader is facing.
As you begin moving, follow the lines
connecting your waypoints. Next to
the Map is the Weapons Display. This
shows the current weapon, the number
of rounds remaining in the magazine,
the number of extra magazines the
operative is carrying and little
icons of the other items carried. You
can change items, magazines, or the
rate of fire by selecting the appropriate keys. The next box is the Team
Display. It lists the operatives in
the current team and their Mode and
Speed. The last box is the All Teams
Display. It shows the status of all
the teams in the mission. In addition,
three yellow chevrons indicate the
team you are currently in charge of.
When you come across a terrorist,
place the targeting reticule over his
chest and press the fire button or
key. If the weapons rate of fire is
set to single shot, each press will
fire a single round.
However in three-round burst or full
automatic, holding down the button or
key will fire either three rounds or
empty the magazine respectively. Be
careful.
You can switch between teams during
the mission and take control of each
in turn. Keep an eye on the All Teams
Display. When their status lists an
action followed by a letter, it means
the team is waiting for the listed Go
Code. For this mission, give code
Alpha as soon as Red Team is beginning to clear the area overlooking the
main entrance. Code Bravo is to be
given after Red Team has secured the
hostages, immediately followed by
code Charlie. Right from the beginning of the mission, you should press
the Activate Sniper Control key to
order the Sniper to fire at will.
Try playing this mission as each of
the different teams as well as in
Watch Mode. Each team has different
responsibilities and going through
each will give you a good feel for the
game.
END OF THE MISSION
The mission will end when one of the
following conditions occurs: the
hostages have been safely rescued, a
hostage is killed, or all of your
operatives are out of action. At the
end of the mission, you will go to the
Results Screen where you can see the
statistics for your mission. If you
would like to see a replay of your
mission, click on the third button
from the right on the bottom of the
screen. It will replay the mission and
you can observe, similar to Watch
Mode.

The Single Player menu is where
you begin a campaign and return
to resume a campaign in progress.
From here you can also replay
missions in one of three different modes.
SINGLE PLAYER
The “Single Player” menu is where you
begin all of the campaign missions and
other types of games for individual
play. There are eight selections from
which to choose: New, Resume, Delete,
Practice Mission, Branch Campaign,
Lone Wolf, Terrorist Hunt, and View
Missions Results. Each of these is
described in the subheads below.
Rogue Spear contains a number of different menus, which are organized to simplify the process of setting up and starting a game. This section covers all
the choices available to you prior to selecting a mission.
NEW
When you play Rogue Spear for the
first time, you will automatically be
taken to New Campaign. A dialogue box
will appear. Enter a name for the campaign. Next you must select a difficulty level.
DIFFICULTY LEVEL
You can choose from Recruit, Veteran
or Elite. Each level of difficulty
requires varying levels of skill for
success.
Recruit: In order to move on to the
next level, you must accomplish the
objectives of the mission. There are
fewer terrorists than in the other
levels and they are slower to react.
Veteran: As in Recruit, you must
achieve the objectives to complete a
mission successfully. However, there
are usually more terrorists and they
react quicker than in the Recruit
level.
Elite: This is a very tough level.
There are often more terrorists and
they will shoot much more quickly.
Auto Target is disabled and Heart Beat
Sensors (explained in weapons and
equipment section) cannot tell the
difference between a hostage and a
terrorist. This level is as real as
they come and requires the most careful planning and execution in order to
succeed.
Once you have made your selections,
click OK to begin the first mission. You
will be taken to the “Planning Phase”.
RESUME
After at least one campaign has been
started, the Resume option will be
available from the “Single Player”
menu. Click on one of the campaigns
listed in the Campaign Window and
select Resume. You will be taken to
the planning phase of the next uncompleted mission in the current campaign.
DELETE
This option deletes the selected campaign. A dialogue box will appear asking you to verify your decision before
the campaign is actually deleted. You
cannot delete individual missions in
a campaign. If you are unhappy with
the results of a mission and want to
try it over to improve your performance for campaign purposes, use the
Branch Campaign option instead. All
deleted campaigns are gone for good.
If the only campaign is deleted, you
must start over from the beginning
with mission 1.
PRACTICE MISSION
Once a mission has already been completed, you can return and try it
again without affecting the campaign
in progress. First select the campaign in the Campaign Window, then
select the mission from the Mission
Window. With the mission highlighted,
select Practice Mission. You will be
taken to the planning phase for that
mission. None of the results of the
practiced mission will affect the
campaign. Even if some of your operatives are killed or wounded, these do
not carry over to the campaign. If you
want to improve the performance of a
mission for campaign purposes, choose
the Branch Campaign option instead.
BRANCH CAMPAIGN
If you are not happy with the results
of a mission and would like to play it
over for the purpose of improving your
campaign, then use the Branch
Campaign option. Once the correct
campaign has been selected, choose
the mission prior to the one you want
to replay and then select Branch
Campaign. A dialogue box will appear
and ask you to provide a name for the
new campaign. You cannot, however,
change the difficulty level. It
remains the same as that chosen for
the original campaign.

LONE WOLF
After a mission has been successfully
completed, the Lone Wolf option for
that mission will be available. Using
the same map level, you enter it with
a single operative. Thirty terrorists
are randomly placed about the level.
You must get from the insertion zone
to the extraction zone without being
killed. The objectives of the original mission are no longer in effect.
It is just you and the bad guys. Once
you select this option, you will be
taken to the planning phase where you
can choose and outfit your operative.
TERRORIST HUNT
Similar to Lone Wolf, this option is
only available after a mission has
been completed successfully. However,
in this case, you can take an entire
team with you. The objective for this
option is to hunt down all thirty terrorists and clear the level. After
selecting this option, you are taken
to the planning phase.
VIEW MISSION RESULTS
This option allows you to review the
End State of any completed mission
within a campaign. This command is
most useful when you have several campaigns and are looking for a good spot
to Branch the Campaign. The information displayed is the same as that
presented at the Results screen for
the mission.
TRAINING
This is where you can create or join
multiplayer games of Rogue Spear.
These menus are covered later in this
manual in the Multiplayer section.
The Training Menu is divided into
Skill Sets and Courses. The first
three Skill Sets form a tutorial
teaching you all the skills you
need to go onto the operational
missions.
Several training missions have been
created to help you become familiar
with the game and the types of actions
you will be performing within the missions. It is a good idea to spend some
time going through each of the training missions. They are organized
according to Skill Sets. Each Skill
Set concentrates on a group of skills
necessary for the actual missions. To
begin a training mission, select a
Skill Set and then one of the courses listed in the window below. It is
usually a good idea to go through each
of the training missions in order
since most build on the previous missions.
Even after you have started a campaign, continue to return to the
training missions to keep your skills
at a high level. Hostage rescue teams
in the real world spend thousands of
hours training and practicing on firing ranges, obstacle courses and in
simulated rescue situations. The
training missions are organized to
allow you to work on a specific type
of action without having to do a lot
of set-up and enter an actual mission.
For example, if you are having trouble during a mission saving a hostage
or entering a room containing terrorists, try one of the appropriate
training courses until you feel comfortable with your ability to execute
the action successfully.
While the training missions are a
great way to hone your personal combat skills for missions, many are
great for testing out team tactics.
Each training mission begins with a
planning phase where you can select
different operatives and kits, then
assign them to teams and lay out a
plan. In some of the more advanced
training missions, you can practice
using Go Codes to coordinate the
actions of all your teams. Also try
assigning teams special actions such
as Frag Room, Flashbang Room, or
Breach Door. Then during the training
mission, observe how they perform the
action.
Often during an operational mission,
there will be one or more difficult
spots to get through. Instead of going
through the entire mission again and
again until you get it right, go back
to the training missions and find one
similar to the trouble spot. Practice
getting through it either by yourself
or with the help of other teams.
Remember, the more you sweat in training, the less you bleed in combat. You
can exit the Training Sessions at any
time by pressing the Escape Key. Click
on Abort Mission from the window which
appears and you will be returned to
the Main Menu. There is not a Results
Screen for Training Sessions since no
statistics are collected during
training.
There are five different Skill Sets
from which to choose.
FIRE AND MOVEMENT
The five courses in this Skill Set let
you practice moving your operatives
as well as using their weapons and
equipment. Two of the courses are
shooting ranges were you can hone your
firearms skills. Each course has five
different sections. The first is a
gravel walkway on the far left. Here
you can practice firing while on the
move. Walk along the gravel way and
fire at the target as you go. To the
right of this section are four more:
short, medium, long and extra long
ranges. The latter is great for sniper
practice.
The obstacle course solely tests your
ability to move an operative around
the level. To complete this course,
you must walk across narrow planks,
side-step, climb, etc. While it may
not seem too difficult, practice
going through the course with your
weapon always aimed downrange. In
real missions, you always want to keep
your weapon pointed towards the
enemy. Also try using obstacles for
cover by crouching behind them or
peeking around them. Switch between
first and third person views to find
the best for different actions and
situations.
The grenade practice range provides
an area where you can work on your use
of both flashbangs as well as frag
grenades. Behind the tire barrier is
a mock building. Start off with flashbangs and try throwing them over the
barrier first. You throw grenades and
GAME MENUS: TRAINING
3-6
WWW.REDSTORM.COMROGUE SPEAR
GAME MENUS: TRAINING
3-5
WWW.REDSTORM.COMRAINBOW SIX
flashbangs by holding, then releasing
the fire button or key. The longer you
hold it down, the farther you throw.
By looking up or down, you change the
angle at which you throw the grenade.
Practice throwing grenades through
the door, and then through the window.
Remember to be careful with the frag
grenades. Even in training, they are
real and deadly. If they don’t clear
the tire barrier, they will bounce
back and land near you; killing or
seriously wounding your operative.
In addition to the grenade range,
there are also several mock buildings
for practicing the use of flashbangs.
Try opening a door while standing to
one side. Then quickly peek in and
throw a flashbang. As soon as you
release the flashbang, switch to your
primary weapon and enter the room once
it has detonated. It is also a good
idea to throw a flashbang and watch it
detonate. Observe the effects it has
on your operative. Your firing accuracy is reduced temporarily and your
vision is somewhat obscured. You may
also be temporarily paralyzed. It is
important to practice throwing flashbangs, then looking away, so you are
not effected as much as the terrorists.
The final course in this Skill Set is
the Door Breaching Course. Take a
demolitions specialist armed with
shotguns and breaching charges for
this training mission. It uses the
same course as the grenade practice.
Instead of using the grenade range,
concentrate on breaching the doors of
the mock buildings. There are two main
ways to breach a door. Start off by
using a breaching charge. Walk up to
a door, select the breaching charge,
then hold down the fire button or key
while the operative places the
charge. Next, back away from the door
and press the fire button or key again
to detonate the charge. Not only is
the door blown to pieces, terrorists
in the room would be stunned with
effects similar to a flashbang.
Breaching charges can even kill if a
person is too close to the other side
of the door. Therefore, be careful
when using them on rooms containing
hostages.
ROOM CLEARING
This is the first Skill Set, which
offers opposition. The three courses
consist of the same pair of connecting rooms with different configurations of simulated terrorists inside.
There are several ways to practice
using the courses. Try using frag
grenades to clear a room. Then try
using flashbangs to stun the terrorists before rushing in. You can also
test multiple team tactics by using
two teams to breach and enter the two
doors simultaneously. Use caution on
each of these courses because the terrorists fire back at your operatives.
HOSTAGE RESCUE
The next Skill Set continues on with
the training by adding hostages to the
missions. Not only do you have to
clear out the terrorists, you must
also keep the hostages safe at the
same time. It is a good idea to take
a heartbeat sensor along to locate
where the hostages are being held so
you can use extra caution when entering those rooms.
The six courses take place in one of
two kill houses. The first is a small
office building with six small rooms
connected by a single hallway. The
second kill house is a two story
building with several rooms on each
floor. There are three configurations
of terrorists and hostages for each of
the kill houses. The hostage rescue
training missions are much tougher
than previous ones. In most cases,
there are doors across from each other
in the hallways, which can make
advancing on one difficult without
exposing yourself to another.
Practice using flashbangs as well as
multiple team tactics. Once you can
get through all six of these courses,
you are first class certified in
Hostage Rescue and Close Quarters
Combat. You are ready to go operational.
OPEN TRAINING
After going through the training missions, the Open Training Skill Set
lets you go back to practice at the
shooting and demolitions ranges as
well as three kill houses. It is
always a good idea to continue training in-between operational missions
to keep your skills honed to razor
sharpness.
TERRORIST HUNT
The final Skill Set allows you to go
through two new kill houses and eliminate all the terrorists you can find.
The first kill house contains a pair
of two story buildings while the second is a mock up of a city street. The
latter is filled with hiding places
and underground passages where terrorists can be waiting to ambush you.
Each time you try these two training
missions, the terrorists are randomly
placed throughout the levels.

WWW.REDSTORM.COMRAINBOW SIX
OPTIONS MENU
The Options Menu is where you can
configure and customize the game
for your computer and playing
style.
The “Options Menu” allows you to configure and customize Rogue Spear to
your personal taste. Within the submenus, you can adjust game functions,
sound, graphics, multiplayer games,
joystick setting and remap the keys.
GAME OPTIONS
These options affect the way the game
plays. To toggle an option, click on
the box next to the title and a checkmark will appear to show the option is
activated. An empty box means the
option is not activated.
Auto-Targeting On is activated by
default. During the Action Phase, the
targeting reticule will automatically
center itself over the chest of the
nearest enemy and then move to his
head. This makes targeting a terrorist easier and eliminates the time
necessary to line up a perfect shot.
Once you become more proficient with
the controls, deactivate this option
for more of a challenge.
With Blood activated, terrorists and
other characters will bleed when shot
and there can be blood spray. The
effect is realistic and not overly
gory like you might expect in other
games. When Blood is deactivated,
characters just fall down without any
visible wounds; just like in the old
Western movies.
With Mouse Look activated, your mouse
moves the targeting reticule around
in the Action Phase. Moving the mouse
up and down makes your operative look
up and down while left and right movement rotates your operative.
Note: Changing the Mouse Look
settings will cause some of your
key mappings to change.
If you turn this option off, number
pad keys will be activated as your
“Look” and “Turn” keys. Invert Mouse
swaps the up and down motion of the
mouse to make it similar to a flight
simulator. Moving the mouse up makes
your operative look down and vice
versa. Mouse Sensitivity is set using
a bar with arrows at each end. To
increase the sensitivity, click on
the right arrow and the little notches in the bar will begin to light up.
The more sensitive the mouse, the less
you have to move it during the Action
Phase to control your character.
When Record Mission is activated,
your missions will be automatically
recorded for replay after the mission. For more information on this,
see the Replay Mission section later
in this manual. Turning this off may
help increase speed on slower
machines.
Unlimited Practice turns off Victory
Conditions for Practice Mission. To
use the Practice Missions option,
you’ll need to have successfully completed the mission first. This allows
you to run through a level while never
winning or losing, regardless of what
happens during the mission.
Always Run automatically makes your
operative run whenever you give move
commands. When you press the run button, your operative will slow down to
a walk.
The MODs Path option allows you to use
different MODs created by other players. Type in the path to where the
MODs are located in your computer in
the box provided. MODs are levels,
missions or variations created by
players. Red Storm Entertainment does
not support MODs so use them at your
own risk. Our Technical Support
Representatives cannot help customers
with problems arising from the use of
MODs. Please uninstall any MODs
before calling Technical Support. If
you’re having game play problems
after installing MODs, try uninstalling to see if problems are fixed.
SOUND OPTIONS
These options allow you to adjust the
volume of different types of sounds in
the game. By clicking on the box next
to the titles, you can turn that sound
on or off. Volume is adjusted by
clicking on the arrows on either side
of the bar. There are six types of
sounds you can adjust:
Master: This adjusts the volumes of
all the individual following types of
sounds collectively.
Ambient: This adjusts the volume of
background or environmental sounds
such as crickets chirping or machinery running.
Gunshot: This adjusts the volume of
all gunshots and explosions in the
game.
Footstep: This adjusts the volume of
sounds made by operatives and other
characters walking.
Radio Chatter: This adjusts the volume of messages from your other operatives during a mission.
Action Music: This adjusts the volume
of the music played during the missions. It does not affect the volume
of CD music.
Maximal Sound: This bumps up the maximum number of 3D sounds that are
played at any one time. Not all sound
cards support a large number of 3D
sounds being played at one time. If
you are unsure whether or not your
sound card can support many 3D sounds
playing at once, then leave this
option off.
