The plot is very loosely based on the book, Rogue Warrior, which is an autobiography by the protagonist of the game. The shooting capabilities in the game include AK-47s, grenades, combat knives, and your standard environmental items such as gas tanks and explosive barrels. In terms of game play, Rogue Warrior is not unique or ground breaking in any fashion. It sticks to the familiar so if a player knows they like other standard tactical first person shooters they can be guaranteed they'll like this one.
