''Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City'' is a third-person, team-based shooter developed by Slant Six and Capcom as a spin-off of the ''[[Resident Evil]]'' Franchise. ''Operation Raccoon City'' stars, in a change for the series, a squad of six of Umbrella Security operatives, who are tasked with advancing the corporation's goals. The game is set during the Raccoon City incident, the setting of previous games such as ''[[Resident Evil 2 (Video Game)]]'' and ''[[Resident Evil 3 Nemesis|3]]''. The Umbrella Troops will have more to do than simply fight zombies; they're additionally assigned to kill high-value targets, including the heroes of previous Resident Evil games, such as Leon Kennedy.

Line 15:
** Your teammates will also do pretty well in close- to mid-range firefights even without your help, they're just so much slower than you. Snipers will throw the AI for a loop, however.
** AI Vector is quite effective in CQC
* [[Another Side Another Story]]: The Spec-Ops campaign is DLC and roughly the same size as the main campaign, and [[Your Mileage May Vary|considered]] by many to be even better in quality if not characterization. Spec-Ops covers parts of [[Resident Evil 2 (Video Game)]] and [[Resident Evil 3 Nemesis|3]] trying to defend against and later lock down the viral outbreak. The biggest difference lay in character designs, where all of Spec Ops are generally heroic.
* [[Awesome Anachronistic Apparel]]: Of a sort. The game is set in 1998, but the US military personnel in Raccoon City are seen to be wearing the same sort of [[Fun with Acronyms|PALS]]-based tactical webbing and body armour as the BSAA operatives from [[Resident Evil 5]], over 11 years later in-universe, when the '''P'''ouch '''A'''ttachment '''L'''adder '''S'''ystem itself wasn't even introduced until 2001 (they still seem to be wearing M81 Woodland camouflage though).
* [[Badass]]: While every member of the Wolfpack counts for one, special mention goes to HUNK who singlehandly takes on the G-virus mutated Birkin, rather than return to Umbrella empty-handed.
Line 69:
* [[Night Vision Goggles]]: Spectre, the team's sniper, has a pair. They're apparently thermal as well and can do some nifty things.
* [[Nostalgia Level]]:
** Essentially the entire game plays off of nostalgia for ''[[Resident Evil 2 (Video Game)|2]]'' and ''[[Resident Evil 3 Nemesis|3]]'', with Mister X, Nemesis, Birkin, HUNK, Nicholai, Leon, and Claire all having a role in the game.
** A recent trailer revealed Heroes Mode, a team gameplay mode where the protagonists of ''2'' and ''3'' fight against HUNK, Nicholai, Ada, and Lone Wolf (the guy who choppered HUNK out in the 4th Survivor).
* [[Not So Different]]: In the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Ar-qKACbnkg Triple Impact] trailer a group of Special Forces troops runs into the USS. They have comparable combat abilities, shoot first and ask questions later and stop to collect BOW samples like the USS. The only difference is that the Special Forces are trying to ''rescue'' survivors, while the USS is trying to kill witnesses.
