I bought Covert Ops expecting to be treated to another great game in the Rainbow Six series, I have them all. Instead i found one disks filled with tests, I have enough of those at school, and another disks with three, although large, fairly lame missions.

I was also hoping that some of the new weapons that had appeared in Urban Operations would be present. Sadly they are not (you can use them if you play Covert Ops with the Urban Ops cd).

The only new feature in Covert Operations is the disk that theaches you how to be a covert aganent. I thought this was an ill concieved idea becuase it consists of a lot of boring reading that appears to have no bearing on the game.

The new maps for training and custom missions are cool, including such scenes as a junk yard, a store front, a hospital, and others, but they fail to make up for the games short comings.

Although this is a big dissapointment for all us harcore Rainbow six fans, rest assured that the graphics are the same as before.
