Rogue Spear: Urban Operations

Chemical CompoundWe've had a closer look at the seven new multiplayer spaces included in the Rogue Spear: Urban Operations mission pack. The new multiplayer maps can be played in single player mode using the custom mission builder. Let's have a closer look at each of these new environments.
Chemical Compound is a winter map of medium size. The basic layout is one small building surrounded by a two story wall. The surrounding wall is about ten feet wide, with internal and rooftop passageways. There is multiple ways to access the center courtyard, either from the top or bottom of the wall. The internal and external corridors have a few rooms at the corners, as well as a good number of boxes and other obstacles that can be used as cover.
Graveyard

Graveyard is a night map with an added element of poor weather to make things a little more interesting. Although there is no lightning flashes, the crack and boom of thunder adds a nice touch, and definitely adds a bone-yard type ambiance effect. This map is relatively small, and has a few small structures and numerous tombstones to hide behind. There is also a second level, sort of a sub-basement that can be accessed from three different stairways.
Old Train Tracks

This map is very reminiscent of the "Road" map from Rainbow 6, although it is about one third the size of the original. A bridge with a river running beneath it connects two separate sides. This map also has a fair number of shacks and barrels for cover, and the river can be navigated from one side of the map to the other. Most of the riverbanks are about eight feet high, and this provides decent cover from the rest of the map everywhere except near the bridge.
Snow Base

This is another winter map, but unlike Chemical Compound it is a night map. This map will please fans of Siberian Base II, as it is very similar to this Rogue Spear classic, but only about half the size. This map has multiple levels, buildings, rooms, and stairways.
