PS let's hope Ubisoft overcome their Woody Allenesque problem with coming up with endings (XIII, Beyond Good and Evil, R6Vegas, Assassin's Creed) and actually finish the bloody story this time.

To be continued...

@JakeDunn: Most of the tom clancy games have been really bad with the single player lately. MP though was great, its my most played Live game that I still go back to time and time again.

Yeah the first Rainbow Six Vegas singleplayer didn't even end in a proper cliffhanger but more like, "to be continued" after a normal level instead of a big showdown (like the theatre) or a boss type thing

Great game though, especially with the red and black pack free

@Dracula_Feet:

I'd seriously play a game called Rainbow Six: Laughlin. You get to stop the terrorists who have barricaded themselves in the Colorado Belle, and then, after you're done, you can go across the bridge to Arizona for Chili's.

Please don't be as buggy as Vegas, please don't be as buggy as Vegas, please don't be as buggy as Vegas, and we need an M4/AR15 this time around too :)

Oh yea, limit the camera view when you take cover, that was just ridiculous. You can hide between some book cases/crates, and get a fantastic view of everything on the sides and down hallways, etc, etc, and see everything, but no one could see you. Fix that shit, restrict it (aleast for MP), if you want a better view, make the player expose more of themselves.

Oh yea, include more ACTUAL places in Vegas this time if possible. Though I can see them using the same damn game, recycling some maps, and BOOM, a sequel.

OH OH OH, and make the dedicated server options NOT SUCK GIANT COCK. That is all (although making it NOT look like ass in split screen would be nice, and at least let us bring in ONE single guest).

Lol, Kotaku, what are you doing here?

I recall when they originally announced R6: Vegas, I thought it was an April Fools joke.

Vegas? Really... again??? Not schmaltzy enough the first time Ubisoft?

Don't get me wrong. I did enjoy the game, but Vegas and Tom Clancy aren't exactly chocolate and peanut butter. Anyone else thinking it's gonna be more of a R6V 1.5 than a proper sequel? That's basically what Ubi did with GRAW, and it wouldn't surprise me to see it happen again.

megahurtz — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 17:19:19 MST

R6:Vegas never grabbed me the way R6:3 and Black Arrow did on the old xbox. I had a group of friends I would play that with probably 3 or more nights a week for months on end.

I had high hopes for Vegas, especially for the co-op, but was let down. Get rid of the randomly spawning tangos in co-op terrorist hunt and I'll jump back on board. It was so infuriating to clear a room and have a enemy spawn right behind you and cap your whole team :(

considering how the story line left off in the single player, i'm just guessing that its a continuation of the original. if its actually in vegas again, i would be surprised and possibly disappointed... until i play the multiplayer, which was still the most fun i've ever had on the 360

@adragonfang18:
People need to realize that A.C. isnt a place for old people anymore (it hasnt for the last six years)

Which kinda pisses me off cuz unless u have been there, thats the general perception. Even though it has a beach, carnival, mall ( for the expensive young crowd tho) IMAX Theater, *cough* strip clubs *cough* and outlet malls...

Unless old people like to get on a roller coaster and listen to a rock concert ( there's a house of blues )
after gambling, it aint no old place anymore....

Anyway, if there were a R6:A.C., it'll just give me a excuse to shoot old people in the game.

thecactusman17 — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 15:23:04 MST

I would only want a revisit to Vegas if ou actualy got to go into real Casinos. A shootout in the Bellagio or Ceaser's Palace would be excellent. Centering everything around Fremont Street--aka "where Las Vegas comes to die"--was a mistake.

Also, i would kill for some smarter AI. Playing splitscreen coop on the couch in Realistic mode is like taking down a mercenary army of third-graders. Even the normal AI allies in the single player campaign outclass most enemies by an exponential magnitude.

@KilgoreTrout__XL:

True. Multiplayer deathmatch and co-op are really the best parts of a game (but I do like to torture myself with the single player and then complain about it).

To get me to buy this game (it is all about me) I need to *spoiler* kill Gabriel (not the like the weak killing of Irena Morales, I want to blow him up good!), ditch Micheal and Jung, and give me the "ground breaking co-op" hype in the announcement (how about some good old Halo type co-op ... yeah everything gets compared to Halo).

My friend and I went through the co-op in like 1-2 days. Unfortunately, the graphics musta pushed my Xbox to the limit because it fried the GPU. I found it odd that Vegas killed my system when we had pulled 8 hour long Gears of Wars sessions before.

I am a huge Rainbow Six fan (read the book and spent countless hours playing Rainbow Six: Raven Shield on the PC) but Rainbow Six: Vegas sucked. Any game that ends "TO BE CONTINUED" sucks (Quake IV falls into this category).

My other big issue with this game is your teammates said the same damn lines over and over. I wish Ubisoft could have taken the time to get more voice acting and a better story.

I will say the environment was beautiful and the weapons were great.

I highly doubt that the sequel

Aren't the bad guys supposed to
go after Team Rainbow's families
in this one? At least that's what
the ending to Vegas hinted at.

I imagine a lot of
workplaces, homes, etc.

Maybe a mall, a la Dead Rising
would be cool. Probably a private
school.

I think Rainbow 6: Foxwoods Indian Casino would be better than Atlantic City and Vegas combined.

I did have a blast on the first one, but what are indeed the chances of terrorists hitting Vegas twice. As it was already said, maybe Ubi is going for a side story here to the original.

Oh God say it isn't so... wait I played the damn game this was bound to happen.
Don't get me wrong the game was good, but it was far from awesome; I liked the customising weapons, and zipping around on ropes. But "tactical" combat in this game is pants, SWAT 4 didn't just do it better, it decided to beat it even more with Stechkov Syndicate. It may seem like snobbery but honestly, if you've played SWAT 4, R6V doesn't seem to come close to what SWAT can do.

Gee I wonder if everyone will play nothing but attack and defend in a prettier calypso casino. I had a lot of fun w/ this game for awhile, but it eventually became the same exact thing every time. A&D: Calypso Casino, sharpshooter in kill house or streets. Also I didn't really like the single player... but the co-op was a lot of fun on realistic.

Looking forward to it, just don't care for it being set in the same city..... After all the crap to happen in Vegas, kinda crazy to have terrorist strike again? And then the PSP version of R6:Vegas provided a side story of another R6 team takign on bad guys during Vegas main campaign.

Terrorist strike Vegas again or will they go with another side story? Another R6 team and perhaps conclusion to the story started in the first?
