Introduction

Alternately:

Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City is a spin-off game in the storied RE franchise outsourced by Capcom to SOCOM Developer Slant Six Games. A “what-if” scenario consisting of 7 missions and 7 DLC missions set around the events of RE2 and RE3. In the original game, players take control of the six-member Umbrella ~~Stupidity~~ Security Service squad “Wolfpack,” a.k.a Delta Squad, and head into the city to get rid of evidence linking Umbrella to the outbreak while fighting off U.S Spec Ops and the infected. The game advertised the ability to alter canon by killing specific characters as the USS. Thusly, we will be playing the Umbrella campaign first.

ORC had a lousy reception on release, the result of mediocre design and its awfully short campaign. Its few claims to fame are 4-player co-op and the interesting scenarios it advertised, although these still fall short as we will explain and you will see in the videos.

Joining me in my adventure are users Heenato, Aces High, Drakenel, Kaboom Dragoon, and McTimmy! As there’s more than four of us we’ll rotate people in so we all get a chance to play. Commentary will be done live and we’ll try to get all the cameras and collectibles, among other interesting things. We’ll be playing on Veteran so as to keep thing succinct, after a practice run on professional was just too tedious to get through due to inflated enemy health and defense. Also Veteran still has friendly fire

We ended up playing Professional for Spec Ops by accident

After the USS campaign is complete I’ll be tackling the Echo Six campaign. Spoilers are allowed, this game’s short and we’re trying to have as much fun as possible, so talk freely about all things RE and this game!

Characters

Lupo
A former French Special Forces operative, Karena ‘Lupo’ Lesproux specializes in weaponry. Lured by money, Lupo joined Umbrella and leads Wolfpack. Her knowledge in the field makes her highly trusted by her team. She looks out for them, like a wolf looks out for her cubs, which has made the team affectionately call her Wolf Mother.

Beltway
Hector ‘Beltway’ Hivers is an elite demolition expert that was discharged from the Army Corps of Engineers. Not much is known about the incident other than the addition of Beltway’s prosthetic leg. His dedication to his craft is beyond question, while his joy for blowing things up is always visible.

Four Eyes
Developing an unhealthy obsession with science at a young age, Christine ‘Four Eyes’ Yamata specializes in virology. She is so deeply focused on her work that she has little interest in anything else, including the feelings or lives of other human beings. Studious and detailed, she always wants to know more about a given situation.

Bertha
Michaela ‘Bertha’ Schneider finds pleasure in pain. After an unsuccessful return to civilian life, this disciplined former soldier with a devotion to medicine eagerly joined Wolfpack as their medic when she was assured anesthetic would be considered a luxury and not a priority.

Vector
Vector’s file remains largely confidential, his true identity hidden. Training at Rockfort Island, he developed his lethal martial art ability and elite skill for reconnaissance. As a covert operative, his achievements in the field are only matched by his former master, HUNK.

Spectre
A veteran of the Cold war, former spy, Vladimir ‘Spectre’ Bodrovski was moved from Umbrella’s European wing for unknown reasons. The premier surveillance expert of the U.S.S, he was transferred to Wolfpack when the upper echelon of Umbrella management realized his skills could greatly benefit them.

Dee-Ay
Crispin 'Dee-Ay' Jettingham has been a soldier for as long as he can remember. He was the government's top choice to be the leader of the Echo Six team. Always calm and collected, he is a true soldier and is highly skilled and efficient with his weaponry and his orders.

Party Girl
Sienna 'Party Girl' Fowler got her reputation throwing wild parties in her youth for businessmen and officials. Little did they know that every party she threw was also recorded with hidden equipment which would be sold to the highest bidder. The government hired her after she managed to dupe their top surveillance expert at one of her parties.

Willow
Caroline 'Willow' Floyd developed her skill for speed and elusion growing up alone on a reservation in Montana. She joined the Army straight out of school, excelling as part of the Special Forces. Never satisfied with herself, Willow continues to hone her skills each and every day.

Excelling in medicine during operation Desert Storm, Harley unexpectedly became one of the best medics in the field. Always putting others lives before his, He will always do his best to make sure no man is left behind.

Shona
Exposed to death at a young age, Lawrence 'Shona' Kimbala began treating diseases in his home country of Zimbabwe. After his father's death, he attended Harvard medical school where he realized he had a skill for controlling viruses instead of curing them. He joined the Army's special weapons program as their foremost expert in virology.

Tweed
Marissa 'Tweed' Ronson has a quick tongue and a ready fuse. Originally working for the British Secret Service, she disappeared after a bomb removal operation left her scarred. Hand-picked by the government, Tweed became part of Echo Six because of her unparalleled expertise in demolitions.
