Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear
- For the U.S. Navy's definition of Rogue Spear, see Nuclear accident terminology
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear is a tactical first-person shooter computer game developed and published by Red Storm Entertainment. It is the sequel to the critically acclaimed Rainbow Six game based on the Tom Clancy book of the same name. The game pits the counter-terrorist unit, Rainbow, against global terrorist organizations that in some cases have taken hostages or have armed themselves with weapons of mass destruction- in the United States Military, a "Rouge Spear" is the possession of a nuclear weapon by a non-governmental organization. Rogue Spear, like its predecessor, puts focus on realism, planning, strategy, and teamwork rather than arcade-style shoot-em-ups such as Doom. Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear was released for the PC on September 22, 1999, with versions for the Mac OS (2000), Dreamcast (2000), and PlayStation (2001) released later.
