Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Lone Wolf

Unlike earlier entries in the series, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Lone Wolf features only a solo-focused first‑person tactical shooter experience which is without the series' traditional squad pre‑planning. The player controls Domingo “Ding” Chavez alone through all missions. The game features eight new weapons. There are two pieces of equipment, a flashbang and a M26 grenade launcher.

Despite its streamlined design, the game is noted for being very difficult, with only five missions and a short runtime, similar in length to Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six expansion pack, Eagle Watch. Some critics described the controls as either outdated or clumsy,^[2] though others found it surprisingly enjoyable despite given hardware limitations.

In January 2001, RAINBOW operative Ding Chavez is dispatched to Norway via a tip from the convicted terrorist Xander Thiessan, who is revealing information on American weapons being smuggled into Russia. Acting alone, Chavez meets Thiessan and orchestrates the capture of the terrorist before infiltrating and assaulting the smuggling network's Norse base. The game follows the five missions in the campaign. Fictional characters John Clark and Kevin Sweeney appear in the game as control personnel in the briefing screen.
