This is good to have if you have Rainbow 6

This mission pack includes a few things that will make your Rainbow 6 action even more fun. They added some new firearms, such as a shotgun and some other really good guns. The bad thing about this mission pack is that it only includes about 5 or 6 missions. I would rather go for Rainbow 6: Rogue Spear.

Good expansion, but very short

Rainbow Six: Eagle Watch is really a good expansion set for the original Rainbow Six. It only has 5 mission though. Even though it only has 5 missions, they are pretty hard, and they take place in famous places, like Big Ben in London, the US Capitol Building, and the Taj Mahal in India. There are 3 new weapons, and they are the Heckler & Koch G36K, the Heckler & Koch G3A3 assault rifles. Also, it includes the IMI .50 caliber Desert Eagle, which can kill anyone in one hit (usually).Even though it is short, it is a really good expansion for the first Rainbow Six game.

Good but not as good as R6 or RS

Eagle Watch is a great addon to the original R6 game, however only five missions makes it not terribly great. You might think that due to this it's not worth your money, but the multiplayer maps you get are well worth it. You get Killhouse double, and City Street Large, and once you can run through those in about 5 to 10 minutes on expert, you'll be the mack daddy at all multiplayer for R6 forever. Of course playing against other people will take some getting used to, but as soon as that happens, you can't lose. I reccomend that you change your controls to the following (turning Num Lock off):

Primary - 0 on numpad
Secondary - page down
Inventory 1 - page up
Inventory 2 (this should stay on Heartbeat sensor) - 1 on numpad
Manipulate environments - 4 on numpad
Crouch - right shift

Do this and you can't lose. Oh yeah, and in multiplayer, ALWAYS USE A CAR-15!

Do not buy this game!

For the same exact price you can get rainbow 6 gold which includes this mission pack as well as the original R6 and a strategy guide to boot. For that reason there is simply no logical reason to buy this alone. Even if you already own a copy of the original rainbow 6 the gold package will give you another copy you can give to a buddy.

As for the eagle watch mission pack i just don't think it's a good value. The missions are great but there's only 5 of them. Never have i seen an expansion pack for a decent game that has so few missions. Sure you also get some extra multiplyer features and maps as well as more weapons but it just isn't enough in my opinion. The 5 missions you get are a nice extension of the rainbow 6 game. A little more complex and interesting and certainly more challenging. The first mission has you rescuing workers in a command section of a space shuttle. The second you disarm a bomb and rescue terrorists in the taj mahal. My favorite is the 4th mission where you rescue tourists from the forbidden city in china. These missions are defintely harder than the R6 missions and the terrorists are sharper than ever and your teamates less helpful. Expect to struggle the first couple of times in but completing a mission is very rewarding. Again they are great missions just not enough of them.

Do not buy this mission pack alone. Buy rainbow six gold instead which will give you this pack and much more for the same [money]
