It's an older game, but if you ask me, it was a pioneer towards games like Counterstrike. The ultra-realistic one shot kills environment, which is much, much more realistic than most games (CS included) will help you develop skills quicker. If you have anything you would like to contribute to this guide, please feel free to email the author at the address given above. Please note, I will not be answering any walkthrough questions, since this is just a FAQ, not a full walkthrough. Game Information ------------------- Genre: Action Strategy Publisher: Red Storm Ent.

PISTOLS Heckler & Koch MK23 This gun is the handgun of choice for the U.S special forces. Its A .45 Caliber and is extremely reliable.It has average stopping power And is quite accurate. Heckler & Koch M23 - SD This weapon has a flash silencer, specially designed for Rainbow. It Flash silencer means it eliminate flash visibility. Not quite as accurate but a whole lot quieter than the MK23. Heckler & Koch USP This .40 caliber is lighter than the MK23. It can really Pack a punch for its size. Heckler & Koch USP - SD This silenced .40 caliber is not the silencer of choice for Rainbow. I would stick with the MK23 - SD. Beretta 92FS This little 9mm is deadly at close range, and holds a bigger amount of ammunition. Beretta 92FS 9mm - SD This silenced 9mm is used mainly for recon, though it has a improved flash visibility. PRIMARY WEAPONS Heckler & Koch MP5A2 This is the Rainbow standard gun, it is reliable and and accurate. It is a 9mm with 3 different speed settings. Heckler & Koch MP5SD5 This 9mm is silenced so well, you have a better chance of hearing the trigger get pulled Heckler & Koch MP5K - PDW This 9mm sub machine gun is light, and has a folding stock. CAR - 15 This small assault rifle is powerful despite its appearance. It is used by U.S and Israeli special forces. Colt M - 16A2 This is the long range bad boy of the Primary weapons. It really packs a punch.It easily pierces level ll. armor. Benelli M1 This 12 gage shotgun is extremely powerful at close range and is very fast for a shotgun.

Flashbang *********** These are mainly used to breach and clear rooms. They have a stunning flash which neutralizes tangos ling enough to kill them. Thi is really the only safe way to enter a room with hostages in it. Caution, you can stun yourself so watch out. Frag Grenade ************** This small grenade is just your average grenade like you see on tv. It has a small blast but can do some damage. Don't stand to close or you will destroy yourself. If your sure that there are no tangos in a room, toss in a grenade instead of a flashbang, have some fun. Breaching Charge ****************** This is a nifty little device used to open and breach a room at the same time. You stick one on a door, locked or not. Then click aagin to detonate it. It blows off the door and flashes a built in flash bang to stun its inhabitants. The bad thing is you can only carry one. Heartbeat Sensor ****************** This is basically used to locate enemy's and hostages. It can tell the difference between the two. This is very nice to have in battle, just make sure you have a gun ready, don't get caught trying to shoot an un loaded gun because when it ran out you started playing with the sensor. Demolitions Kit ***************** Don't leave home without on:) Really all this kit does is speed up the placing and disarming of explosives. You shouldn't really need one unless you are really slow. Electronics Kit ***************** Basically, it does the same thing the demo one does but for the electrical bugs and security camera rewriting and things of that sort. But if you have a good Electrical expert you only need it a couple times. Lockpick Kit ************** If you don't have a shotgun or breaching charge you have to pick the lock. This kit speeds that process up considerably. Some doors are not pickable without it. ================ Specialty Guide ================ each operative has his or her own trademark specialty. They excel in this category above all others except for a couple of small exceptions. This is a definitive list of all the operative specialties Recon - This is the specialty of sneaking into an area and gathering information, or the location of something without being detected. Rec- on experts must be fast and quite, most of them are good with firearms, if there good with electronics, it makes it even better. Assault - Assault specialists are basically the G.I. Joes of the mission. They are extremely good with firearms, and if they're stealthy They make good snipers. Use them to take out terrorists and to protect precious cargo. Command - Only Chavez has this expertise, that is why he has the best leadership in the game. Command experts are extremely good leaders and will follow your plan to the line. Demolition - Probably the most fun job to have, blowing stuff up! Demo experts are trained for speed in defusing bombs and are usually decent with grenades. They are also usually better at using door chares too. Electronics - This is basically being a whiz with electronical things. They go in and do things with computers and security stuff. They are usually decent with guns, but some are terrible in all of the other attributes. ================ Cheats - Codes ================ *Debug Keys - At the chat window type in " debugkeys ".
