Plot This game's plot is highly similar to the original Rainbow Six (novel). The game starts with the player in the shoes of Captain Federalez 'Fed' Gonzales, an ex-U.S. Special Forces officer, who is recruited by Acting Director of Rainbow, John Danko. Rainbow is a international counter-terrorism unit based in London.
Training First, Gonzalez is put through training with the ERS (Enhanced Reality System), designed specifically for Rainbow operatives. The system allows him to visualize the commands that he can give to his teammates. During the training, he is able to test his snake camera, enabling him to see under doors and tag enemies inside, and test a syringe full of nano-globulin, a drug that can revive his teammates.
Mission One Alpha Team's first mission as a team is to assault the Belgian Embassy in London, which was taken over by a terrorist group called Free Europe. The Belgian ambassador has sealed himself in his panic room, and the grounds are crawling with terrorists. Alpha Team is inserted by van and circles around to either side of the embassy, meeting light resistance outside and enters without much contest. After a firefight in the main hall of the embassy, the team proceeds upstairs to free the ambassador. After killing the two rather chatty guards outside the panic room, Kim unlocks the door and the ambassador tells the team of his secretary being held on the third floor. Saving her becomes the team's secondary objective. Danko contacts the team and tells them that there is also a sniper on the third floor. After disposing of the sniper and maybe freeing the secretary, the team finds out that the sniper was a diversion and the terrorist leader has taken a news reporter hostage. Alpha sneaks around the back and kills the leader and his two guards. Danko comments: 'By the time the sun rises, the whole world will know of the heroism you displayed tonight.'
Mission Two Alpha Team's second mission is rescuing Dr. Catherine Winston from a group of Hutu rebels that captured her from an Infinario research site. They are inserted via air drop. As they breached the door to a nearby barn they see two things. One is an anti-aircraft gun. There are two more spread throughout the level. Planting C4 on these three tanks is the team's secondary objective. The second is several cows, laying dead on the ground. After investigating, they realize that what killed the cows can't jump to humans, so they move on. They come out to a courtyard, where they take out several rebels silently from behind. They assault the schoolhouse where Dr. Winston is being held. She asks them to help all the sick people in the village. Gonzalez consults Rainbow HQ. They say no, it's too risky. Dr. Winston promptly jumps out the window, alerting every rebel to Alpha Team's presence. After fighting their way though waves of hostiles, they reach the church where all the sick people are kept. After some strong convincing from Winston, Alpha Team is able to hold their position until Rainbow is able to extract them.
