The sequel to TC:RSV is due for realease March 21, 2008 and i know is causing alot of excitment hopefully the games as good or better as the first!

Some new features coming to the game are the Persistent Elite Creation system. Players can now customize their character with experience points earned in both single-player and multiplayer. There is also a new stat-tracking feature which observes how players choose to play, unlocking new weapons and equipment based on their playing styles. There are 11 new weapons, 13 multiplayer maps, 2 new game modes, and a tweaked ranking system, as well as improvements to the online functionality to make it easier to find online sessions. In addition, players can now join matches that are already in progress.

In addition to all that the AI for single player is apprently going to be greatly improved and concerntrated on the more seedier side of Vegas.

Looking at the screenshots it looks exactly the same as the first one, but as all Clancy games it will probably be good.
Hopefully the facial recognition thing actually works this time around.

[AliBB]

it'll probably be very similar, im hoping everything's laid out better this time and the online is better on the first it was always so laggy for me anyways. Also doing co-op sucke don the first one as you had to do indvidual missions hopefully this time you can just run through the campaign like you can on gears with a mate.

[life blood 666]

yea that would be pretty sweet

[xWill.]

I will be getting this on release! It's going to be great. I any info on the news guns?

[Number 2]

Three words:


I'm So Ready!

[MonotoneAssassin]

i saw bullet penetration someplace. can any1 verify?

[GVTTW_2]

I am kind of excited though I don't really need a new fps to play online since I am quite occupied with COD4 and Halo 3 at the moment.

Damn, I am stoked. I hadnt read much on this game before now, but I still wanted it, and now after reading, I cant wait. I loved the first one, but the new features and such make this one even more desirable for me.

[-CJJB-]

Looks like the last one.I might be like when GRAW2 came out the 2 games were to similar.

Halo 3 and Call of Duty have really set the bar high I wonder if it can keep up?

[m1ndless]

In my opinion, Rainbow Six Vegas has some of the BEST online play.

[xWill.]

Yeah the cover system is the BEST!

[Hockeyguy219]

I like it too, but its kinda cheap in a sense. Being able to look down a hall while looking the other way :P

I really loved 1, and played it for a long time,

[xWill.]

Thats what I like about it, you can watch more angles. I'm kinda mad they took out the 4 player co-op though...

[AliBB]

Thats what I like about it, you can watch more angles. I'm kinda mad they took out the 4 player co-op though...


Yer that is a little annoying agreed, but still i be happy with the 2 player co-op if its like better laid out this time so you can just play the single player in co-op unlike in last one where you had to choose different levels, was annoying.
Hopefully they compensate taking out the 4 player and make it really good 2 player co-op though.

I thought the online was good in the first one but i always had problems with LAG, and i always had the red dot as connection so i always got kicked unless playing with mates which was annoying.

[xWill.]

Even If I had a green connection I would usually still get bullet lag, which pissed me off.

[AliBB]

Im playing the first one again now as i never actually completed it. Im so stuck on the last mission though as im doing it on realistic dificultty its very hard. Im stuck on a bit like where your in a warehouse and one of your guys is hacking the computer and you like have to defend the computer i think. I cant do it.

[FeNoM91]

Can't wait! OMG this month better go buy quick!

[FILTHY J NASTY]

Even if this game is similar to the old one, the old one was such a great game. It will be worth buying just because of the new maps and weapons.

Who else is buying this day of? I didn't preorder it so I will get it when I get it.

[xWill.]

I won't be. Graphics and everything look exactly the same as the first. I am going to wait for a review before I buy.

[Hockeyguy219]

Im buying this the day of. This game looks good. Graphics to me are just a bonus, not a necessity. I go for gameplay, and this game will have uber gameplay.

[xWill.]

New maps and Weapons, aren't enough for me to shell out another 59.99.

[ZipCrash]

I pre-ordered it. I've always been a huge Rainbow Six fan and I loved the original Vegas. For me this game is worth $60. Better Co-Op, more features and options, new maps, new weapons, real night vision. That's all I need.

[Hockeyguy219]

Yep, exactly.

I also think that maybe the graphics might be a bit better then you think. Either way it will be a good game, I think.

[FILTHY J NASTY]

Yea, I never got bored of RSV: 1, but I sold my 360. So now I miss the game.


Anyone know who is giving out the best "buy here and get this ____" item?

[ZipCrash]

Yea they did say that they were improving the graphics in MP as well.

[xWill.]

Best Buy is giving a energy pack with every copy. Has an energy drink, beef jerky, energy gum, and this energy spray stuff.

[FILTHY J NASTY]

I was meant in game content lol. I heard bestbuy was giving a way a gun and gamestop was giving a map.

[Hockeyguy219]

My local blockbuster better get this game tomorrow. I plan to stop in on lunch or after school (Y)

[xWill.]

thought it came out Wednesday...?

[GVTTW_2]

Oh, I am really not sure if I should pull out $60 to buy this. I loved the first one, but I do have gas to pay for.:unsure:

[ZipCrash]

My local blockbuster better get this game tomorrow. I plan to stop in on lunch or after school (Y)


I can promise you they won't have it until Friday.

[Hockeyguy219]

Yeah thats what I was afraid of.

Also, on IGN this game got an 8.4/10. They say its too similar to the first.

[ZipCrash]

meh....whatever...they don't always have to be flush with new features and new graphics for a sequel and not every game as to be ground breaking. As long as they improved upon the original alittle (which they did) then I'm fine with it.

[Hockeyguy219]

Yep, I agree.

And apparently it doesnt come out in Canada til thursday :(

[Hockeyguy219]

Well my blockbuster got it today, and the guy sold it to me a lil early for the stores personal release date so Ive been playing for the last while. I for one like this game, its kinda hard to get used to after playing Halo and Cod for so long, but Im starting to get the hang of it.

Anyone else have this game?

I love the online. The new things that are added are just awesome

[ZipCrash]

Man! That sucks, we didn't get today. I'll be lucky if we get the retail tomorrow.

[m1ndless]

They had it in stock at walmart today..

[msoftball]

hey you guys should check out this site, i get tons of info, tips and cheats for rainbow six there.... :D gamevania.com enjoy!

[TBGixxer]

Does this game lag on the 360 version? It lags on my ps3 but the first Rainbow 6 didn't lag on my 360

[Hockeyguy219]

I have yet to experience lag on my 360 version.

[Carey]

Does this game lag on the 360 version? It lags on my ps3 but the first Rainbow 6 didn't lag on my 360

it does sometimes, but rarely. today i had to quit a match because it lagged so badly. but it doesn't happen often.

anyway, im in love with this game. I'm a captain right now (2 silver bars) and I'm pretty sure i'll be major by tomorrow. i loveit..

[xWill.]

So is it a whole lot better than the first or is it pretty much the same...but new maps and weapons?

[TBGixxer]

pretty much the same. Some better character customization and a new ranking up system which is pretty cool.

[Carey]

it's pretty much the same. i wish they would have added a multiplayer game. on the same tv...

[FILTHY J NASTY]

The new ranking system is amazing. So much better then the first.

[TBGixxer]

it's pretty much the same. i wish they would have added a multiplayer game. on the same tv...

You mean besides the terrorist hunt or co-op campaign?

[Carey]

You mean besides the terrorist hunt or co-op campaign?

yeah, i want to play against my brother to see who's better
