Re: Rainbowsix-Next gen

Wasn't feeling the MP demo on Friday, but I've adjusted and am having more fun, today. It'll be great when we can get some big OS games going. Can't wait to put my face in the game.

Similiar to me...7 games, 2 kills and 7 deaths. Only disturbing thing was getting killed by getting shot in the arms while I was blind-firing. What's the point of blind-fire?

Actually, that's how it should be... your arms are exposed so they should be able to take damage. Use strategically. Kudos to Ubi.

Provides some cover fire.

A couple of shots in the HANDS is not going to kill me. I wasn't blind firing to the side, I was blind firing over the top. Meaning a very small portion of my hands was open to bullets.

Now, if you say that it'd be too difficult to convey a wounded limb because of bullets taken to it, and death is the only way to punish someone for getting hit this way, then I can accept that. Use sparingly, not strategically.

Thanks for the idea.

Re: Rainbowsix-Next gen

Ha! I look for that before you mentioned it... I figured someone would have thought of it!

For some reason, I can't shake the feeling of GoldenEye when I play this game. That, and the graphics are NOTICEABLY less impressive in the multiplayer demo. I really hope they didn't sacrifice graphical quality for the online component.

They sacrificed multiplayer graphics for the multiplayer aspects like 8 v 8 and all the custom player options.

But they say single player is beatiful like normal.

And about getting shot in the hands and dying, are you wearing any armor on your character? I try to keep 5 mobility and 5 protection. Works fine for me.

Ahhhh, good call. I take it all back. I remember not going through any of the customization because I was too excited to try it.

As harsh as my words may have seemed about the blind fire, I really did enjoy most of the demo. The noticeably worse graphics did jump out at me, like Pared mentioned, and the blind fire thing irritated me.

Aside from that, I hope you can completely customize your controls. I can't count how many times I held down the L Trigger to look down the sights of my gun, only to get killed looking for cover that wasn't there...scratch that. I can count how many times. It was 7, the amount of games I played and the amount of times I died.

If I can't switch the controls around, it is going to take a looooong time to get used to clicking the right stick for this. Or I'll have to stop playing every other shooter, like GOW.

That really, really stinks IMO.

Oh well, thanks for the info!

Reviews are out.

If you're a fan of the Rainbow Six series (or even if you're not), Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas is one of the must-have games on the Xbox 360. The single-player campaign is far better than any the franchise has offered, and the ability to go at it with your buddies over Xbox Live is a great addition. However, it's the game's multiplayer mode that will keep us playing Vegas for years to come. This isn't just the multiplayer game of the year, it may actually be the best multiplayer game in the whole Xbox 360 library. Yes, the Rainbow Six team has made a triumphant return, somehow managing to actually exceed our lofty expectations.

Rainbow Six: Vegas returns to form as an excellent tactical shooter, but is much more accessible for the average shooter fan with streamlined controls and a simple health system. The sprawling levels like the glowing Fremont Street or the Hoover Dam open up Rainbow like it's never been before, and the result is a balanced shooter that is as much close-quarter combat as long-range head shots. The new gameplay mechanics, notably the intuitive cover system and inverted rappelling, are simply outstanding. While the visuals are solid, the textures and colors are muted and appear washed out. The sound, on the other hand, fuses a pulsing anti-terrorist soundtrack with gritty dialogue -- "I will f***ing shoot you!" -- and even some humor -- "Hey man, you play videogames?" The multiplayer options feature huge, well-designed maps, a variety of modes and four-player co-op. In total, Rainbow Six: Vegas is the best first-person shooter on the Xbox 360. Viva Las Vegas indeed.

Re: Rainbowsix-Next gen

Played the MP demo for the first time, and it just further convinced me that this game is going to own my soul.

I don't like the Lockdown EXP point system though, I wish they'd just do away with that, but the gameplay is still really fun.
