Get ready to dish out some more orders to your squad as we have a look at another one of the classic games in the Rainbow Six series.
Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Lockdown (2005) Xbox, PlayStation 2, Nintendo GameCube, PCBy now, Rainbow Six was one of the premier shooter franchises and for this installment, things to a bit more of an action heavy kind of feel. Once again you play as Rainbow team. In the year 2009, you have been tasked with putting a stop to a terrorist organization called Global Liberation Front who have a virus called Legion that they want to unleash.
The console versions of the game were certainly more action based. Added into the console versions were these sniper sections which had a real shooter gallery kind of feel as you had to pick off various targets. Interestingly these sniper sections were not in the PC game. While Rainbow Six Lockdown still featured many of the tactical elements from past games. Action certainly seemed to be the direction that Ubisoft wanted to take the series in.
This more action heavy game resulted in mixed reviews, especially for the PC version as many fans felt this was a dumbed down version of what they had come to love.
Both the PlayStation 2 and Xbox would get their own exclusive online mode with the PlayStation 2 having Rivalry and the Xbox having a mode called Persistent Elite Creation which was actually a huge deal and something many people got into. The GameCube version did not support online play, but it did have an exclusive 2 player co-op mode.
This is not one of the more popular games in the series and you could argue that the response it got made Ubisoft take a long hard look at the series.
Tips For The Call Of Duty WWII Campaign
I know that many people buy a Call Of Duty game and just skip the campaign. These people are doing themselves a huge disservice as honestly, most of the Call Of Duty campaigns are great and Call Of Duty WWII is no exception. I recently played the campaign for a second time (on a harder difficulty) and wanted to share a few tips with you.
Do Not Waste Health Packs!
In Call Of Duty WWII, you have no regenerating health and you can only carry four health packs at once. If you use a health pack to heal just a tiny bit of health, you have wasted that whole pack, only use a health pack if your health is at least half gone. Also remember that if you get stuck, you can get a health pack from Zussman.
Use The Most Powerful Weapons
You do not have to keep scrambling for new weapons as you keep running out of ammo. Call Of Duty WWII is actually very generous with its ammo crates. But even better than this is your squad mate Turner, who you can run to and he will fill up your ammo, no matter what weapon you have. So if you have one of the more powerful weapons and run out of ammo. Do not ditch it, make use of your pistol and make your way to Turner and he will hook you up.
Watch Out For Grenades
I would say that 9/10 times I died in the campaign it was because of a grenade. The Call Of Duty WWII campaign has a ton of stuff going on all the time so it can be hard to notice when the enemy throws a grenade. These guys are not shy about throwing grenades so keep an eye out for them.
