Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six (video game): Difference between revisions

** Subverted in ''Vegas'' and beyond. The only difference is that you are instead a Three-Man Army, but you're still sent on missions with ridiculous odds like being tasked with eliminating hundreds of heavily-armed enemies in a large building (usually while reinforcements frustratingly wait just outside the building).

* [[Only Mostly Dead]]: "Incapacitated" status, except in ''Raven Shield'' where they're as good as "Dead". In the first two games, they may later be back, but with "Wounded" stats for a couple missions. In the later games, your teammates are only subject to this, rather than [[Final Death]], although if your squad leader is downed, the game ends.

* [[POV Sequel]]: ''Vegas 2'' features the same terrorist attack on Las Vegas as the original ''Rainbow Six: Vegas'', just from the view of the guy leading the squad before they helped Logan.

* [[Pragmatic Adaptation]]: The original game to the novel, or the novel to the game. There is only the World Park and Australia missions in the game, and there are no snipers so Homer cannot shoot the child killer in the gut. The ringleaders of the conspiracy are also captured rather than left to die in Brazil.
