    Special operations 2?

    I am going to take an educated guess and assume that one of the six year two operation packs will include team rainbow?

    If so can we please have these items in the season pass equipment pack:

    Avon S10 gas mask with respirator canister fitted on the left side (always fitted to the opposite side of the shoulder that favours the rifle butt for firing)

    Smoke grenades. Coloured for marking areas (red/yellow), thick grey for concealed movement under fire.

    FMG9. The inclustion of the folding machine gun 9 (smokes primary) with unfolding animation on equip would be a different and inclution to the game. Especially regarding its low profile when folded.

    Bonus points for fast-roping mechanic from helicopters

    The inclusion of Team Rainbow is most likely for Special Operations 2, but will Special Operations 3 and 4 include some past Red Storm Entertainment properties such as ruthless.com and Shadow Watch?

    Rainbow Six wouldn't really fit into a war with a bolivian cartel imo. That would be like swat fighting in Afghanistan.

    Perhaps not the hero shooter version of team rainbow we have in been given in R6: siege, but before they in dispanded in 2010, team rainbow would have probably been the best fit for the job in wildlands.

    Firstly team rainbow has global duristiction under NATO. The opening events in Rainbow six: Vargas, have you and the team infiltrating Mexico via helo to apprehend a terrorist ringleader who is responsible for a French embassy bombing in Columbia... sound kind of familiar?

    It feels very similar to the set up of ghost recon wildlands with the SB cartel being escalated to the number 3 position on the terrorist watchlist after the US embassy bombing in Bolivia right? Infact throughout the campaign I could not shake the feeling that once we had a positive location on E'l Sueno, team Rainbow was going to swoop in at the last second and grab him.

    Whilst I think team rainbow would not be suited suited for a full open would experience, A direct action mission kind of like the recent splinter cell mission we got would be great and on brand experience. Perhaps a mass hostage situation would be a good fit. Or perhaps we have a positive location on El' Cerebro, who is needed for immediate questioning on an out of country operation (which would be a great conclusion and tie-in)

    There are only 4 Special Operations aren't there?

    Anyway, whatever theme they wanna bring up really doesn't matter now if the quality is like Predator or Splinter Cell mission. The mission design is the biggest issue. It's made to drag time and reason to make a themed item paywall, instead of to be genuinely long, challenging, and rewarding.

    Yeah, especially when they're each dragged out a month long. Good concepts respectively, but terrible execution and polish job. They won't have my money in any case lest it be the JPC, then omg, imma gitit rite meow

    For Special Operations 2, I want a way to get some Ghost Recon Credits. Without having to pay for it with real money.

    Well actually both versions of team Rainbow could work because in siege we have NAVY Seals, Brazilian BOPE, Italian GIS, Spanish, Canadian, British, French, Russian,German, Japanese, Korean, Polish and Chinese operators so both versions are international and we even have maps in the middle east, Spain, Korea, Brazil etc... you get the point so no it wouldn't be like SWAT fighting in Afganistan because team Rainbow is an international spec ops group

    I'm withcha on this one. Personally I would have like it better if they hadn't even done it, I like my games to end but if you are going to try to make money on them and I know they are free (allegedly) but they really aren't, otherwise, how else can they have microtransactions or loot crates for Y2... but I digress. If you are going to make something, at least make a complete effort and not half baked it.

    Well, I doubt very much he had any influence on you spending that kind of money. For the kind of crap they have pulled out over with this game, I wouldn't mind some real free stuff coming this way
