Okay. I am bored. So I am deciding to start a mini-project about the Tom Clancy games and making a timeline for them. Games Known to be Connected: Ghost Recon series HAWX 1&2 Endwar Games possibly in the Universe Splinter Cell series Rainbow Six Series I thought it would be a nice little project to do but what you see above is all that my research has revealed. So yeah, it would b nice if someone who has played more of these games than I have could help.
I've heard there's supposed to be a Ghost Recon/Splinter Cell crossover in the works, so that answers that. Rainbow Six comes from the Jack Ryan universe but I don't think there are any ties to the other franchises.
Here is what I have done so far. 1991: R6: Shadow Vanguard ---------R6: Rouge Spear 1999: Rainbow Six 2003: Takedown 2004: Spilnter Cell 2005: R6: Raven Shield 2006: SC: Pandora Tomorrow --------- R6: Critical Hour 2007: SC: Chasos Theory ---------Ghost Recon 2 ---------SC: Double Agent 2008: Ghost Recon 2009: SC: Essentials ---------GR: Desert Siege ---------R6: Lockdown 2010: SC: Conviction ---------GR: Island Thunder ---------GR: Jungle Storm ---------R6: Vegas ---------R6: Vegas 2 2012: Summit Strike 2013: SC: Blacklist ---------GRAW 2014: GRAW 2 --------- H.A.W.X. ---------R6: Patriots ---------GR: Predator 2019: H.A.W.X. 2 2020: Endwar 2024: GR: Future Solier
Here's the thing: the whole "Tom Clancy's" bit - that's not a franchise. That's just branding. The franchises would be Splinter Cell, Ghost Recon, etc etc etc. Some of them might share narrative bits from time to time, but really, it's just Tom Clancy's name on there. He didn't have much input once UbiSoft bought up Red Storm Entertainment, and I think the only thing he contributed to Splinter Cell (the original) was a seal of approval on everything but the goggles. His name is licensed out as a brand or marketing tool.
The only part of any of the games he contributed to was the original Rainbow Six. It used a bunch of characters from the novel. I think Ding Chavez was still in the games as late as Rainbow Six Vegas, but I dont recall any other novel material making it across.

But unless major contradictions occur the game series does take place in this universe and not the JR universe (unless if also included there).
Well, yeah, he hasn't had input on them since around 2003, and even then it was pretty minimal. As I said earlier, he licensed his name to UbiSoft a while back.
Well I found this interesting. Seems like the Tom Clancy Wiki say the games take place in the Main TC universe. http://tomclancy.wikia.com/wiki/Tom_Clancy_Timelines
Why. Even though I have not been posting in the thread I have been very busy in my free-time working on my Battlefield and TC game timelines.
He was in Vegas 2. He briefed you at the start of the tutorial mission (the mountain hostage rescue thing), though he was only referred to as "Six".
