* ExpansionPack: The ''VideoGame/RainbowSix 3'' companion disc for the Xbox features three downloadable missions for the game. Most versions of ''[[VideoGame/SplinterCellChaosTheory Chaos Theory]]'' included a disc with them for that respective version of the original game. These discs are now the only way to legitimately download these extra missions, ever since Microsoft discontinued online support for the Xbox.

Sam Fisher, a former Navy SEAL and CIA operative, is brought out of retirement by his old commander, Irving Lambert, to take part in a new NSA initiative called Third Echelon, a black-ops program involving the insertion of a single operative into sensitive, high-security situations to gather intel and, where necessary, neutralize targets, all without being seen or heard. For his first mission as part of Third Echelon, Sam is sent in UsefulNotes/{{Georgia|Europe}} to investigate the activities of the country's shady president, Kombayn Nikoladze. In doing so, he uncovers a large terrorist network as well as a major threat to the USA's security, and must thwart it all before it's too late.

* CanadaDoesNotExist: Averted. One of the bad guys, Philippe Masse, is a nerdy Canadian hacker.

* DecapitatedArmy: The support team outright tells Sam that when he takes out Grinko, his mercenaries will [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere give up and go home]] now that there's nobody to pay them. Sure enough, the Abattoir mission immediately ends once you've hollowed out his skull, although you've already killed pretty much all of his mercenaries by this point.

* BagOfHolding: In the first game, Sam could collect [[HealingPotion med kits]] to carry with him [[HealThyself for healing]], but the game never shows where he keeps them.

* ArtisticLicenseNuclearPhysics: One of the plot points is a large stash of Americium-239, which is ostensibly going to be used for an atomic weapon. Not only is Americium-239 not a fissile isotope, but it also has a half-life of less than 12 hours, meaning that is there a ''very'' short window of opportunity to use it. Even using this isotope in a dirty bomb is impractical because its primary mode of decay is electron-capture which doesn't produce any radiation beside a harmless electron neutrino. On the other hand, when it does decay, it decays into Plutonium-239 (well, 99.99% of it does, the remaining 0.01% of it undergoes alpha decay into Neptunium-235, which can further decay into Uranium-235), which is ''much'' better for making a nuclear weapon. So, while they wouldn't have been able to make it with what they started with, all they had to do was wait for about twelve hours for it to turn into something they could really use, and in great quantities without having to refine it too much further; since this point isn't brought up in-game, it's hard to say whether the developers knew that and were averting AsYouKnow (at the expense of those who didn't) or just picked americium at random simply to avoid the more standard plutonium or uranium and [[invoked]][[AccidentallyCorrectWriting got lucky]].
