Rainbow Six: Black Ops 2.0 mod

Rainbow Six Black Ops 2.0 is a much more refined version of the fan-made compilation first released in 2011 by HcH, later improved by Valdez and DJ_Edyo in 2014.
Two decades after the release of Rainbow Six Black Thorn, Black Ops 2.0 offers the ultimate Rainbow Six experience.

Original Rainbow Six titles, including an exclusive Korean-only game, are reproduced into the latest Black Thorn v2.61 game engine:
- Rainbow Six (1998) (custom recreation from the Classic R6 Campaign mod by BigBlueSoul)
- Rainbow Six: Eagle Watch (1999) (custom recreation from the Classic R6 Campaign mod by BigBlueSoul)
- Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear (1999)
- Rainbow Six: Urban Operations (2000)
- Rainbow Six: Covert Ops Essentials (2000)
- Rainbow Six: Black Thorn (2001) (including the alternative storyline of the US release as an activable mod)
- Rainbow Six: Take Down – Missions in Korea (2001) (custom conversion from the 2014 version of Black Ops)

Exclusive Korean-made content released with Urban Operations and Take Down is included coherently and does not override nor contrast with the main Rainbow Six content. For the first time, all Korean text from Take Down has been translated to English and the Korean-made missions form their own campaign, separate from the main Rainbow Six experience.
