Thanks, KC. I'm feeling a little better now. I appreciate the feedback.

Re: Rainbow Six Vegas 2 discussion

OK, got it. Have only had a few minutes to mess around with it as I'm leaving town in about 20 minutes.

1. I played an online game and a single player terrorist hunt and did not notice any framerate issues, then again, that's going off a sample size of two games so take it for what it's worth.

2. you can host private games, you just have to set all the slots to private. Like you can host a 14 player game and make 13 spots private so yeah there's going to be some OS only games.

3. not sure about the ranking up thing. Like I said, haven't had a chance to mess around with it enough to find that out, sorry.

4. Basically, if you liked the first one, you should like this one.

5. if you play on the same gamertag you did for the first one, you get some gifts at the beginning. It gave me an extra 1250 exp and some different helmets to put on my character.

edit: I would also add that, for the people that care, the graphics have been improved. I know some people are saying they haven't and that they look the same, but all you need to do is watch the player model at the main menu when you're picking him. Also, If you do a multiplayer or terrorist hunt, go look at one of your teammates up close and I think it's pretty clear the player models were improved.

No problem. Its a great game, just not that different from last year. I rarely notice framerate problems, however some people might be more picky about that than I am. Whoever wants can send me a friends request if there going to be getting it. Getting tired of playing with randoms.

March is frame rate analysis month on OS. I've seen a good amount of walkthrough videos, and if It's there I couldn't tell. Now if it's a little hiccup here and there, I'll live.

If MP is at least as good, i'll be happy.

Any more info on bullett penetration? I've heard this game is way more tactical. True?

True and I won't to know more about bullet penetration as well.

Wish I could find this today and not have to wait until tomorrow. I figured if Gamestop doesn't have it today, I doubt any of the big chain stores in my area will either.

I've been killed to many times for taking cover behind things I shouldn't have. The last time was behind a thin advertising sign out in the middle of the open, no other cover around. Its pretty cool because the enemy ai recognizes it and shoots through it. The sprint button also helps to get away from gernades in the multiplayer. So ya, I guess its a little more tactical because you have to think about a few more things.

That sounds awesome. Thanks bro.

Re: Rainbow Six Vegas 2 discussion

I think the sprint will come in handy most by helping elude grenades. We basically had to eliminate frags in the first Vegas because it was impossible to avoid them, and every match became which team killed the other more using grenades.

Re: Rainbow Six Vegas 2 discussion

One thing you might want to do when you first get the game is download the free "Streets" map. It under the "Extras" section in the main menu. Kind of weird that its not in the marketplace. That way you wont get booted from the game if the host of a room decides to use that map.

Worse than that, it was who could drop incendiaries while getting shot the fastest. I hated that about the game.

Re: Rainbow Six Vegas 2 discussion

I hope bullet penetration is like on COD 4.

Re: Rainbow Six Vegas 2 discussion

The online for me on the PS3 is a mess. Can't get into any matches. Anyone else having this problem????

As a PS3 owner, that would be really disappointing. Hopefully I'll have the game later on this evening and let you know how things are working for me.

Yeah, I'm still hyped about this, though I may not have it until later this week. I like the pacing in R6, COD4 is great and I'm a big fan, but I've always liked the slower more tactical games.
