Rainbow Six Vegas 2 discussion

Re: Rainbow Six Vegas 2 announced

Just about two weeks away. I'll have my 360 back in time, can't wait.

I am wondering if it's going to be better than COD4, I love that game.

I am starting to get excited. I haven't read much about it to keep my hype meter down (pretty much no way to be disappointed)

Look forward to seeing you all online.

Well, you could still be dissapointed since Vegas 2 has to live up to the bar set by Vegas 1.

Re: Rainbow Six Vegas 2 announced

I asked earlier and never saw it answered...does anyone know if the co-op is still more than 2 players? Same with T-Hunt. I really hope they didn't change that.

I read that co-op missions (story mode) will be only 2 players. That sucks, since Vegas 1 supported 4.
But co-op t-hunt will still be 4 players.

Don't know why, but I really liked the interaction between the two AI soldiers at the end of the 2nd video.

Re: Rainbow Six Vegas 2 announced

Some co-op details

Co-op is only 2 players this year. Terrorist hunt is still 4 though.

In co-op play, the “host” plays as Bishop and handles command of the squad, while the “guest” plays as Knight and rides shotgun (perhaps literally), having limited interaction with the AI squadmates. Of course, full squad control is available, so all the things you can get your AI mates to do in the single-player side—stack up on a door, the various “XX-and-clear” options, toss smoke or frag grenades, etc.—can also be commanded in the co-op component.

As for the second player, he can jump in or jump out at any time, and even break off from the “main” squad to explore other areas; he’s not “rubberbanded” to the rest of the team. Additionally, many spots have been specifically designed for a four-soldier group (of two human players and two AI players), such as offering three different doors entering the same room or with multiple ropes for simultaneous rappelling. This was done to avoid the need for one of the live players to wait while the other live player or the AI characters do their thing first. Primarily, though, it seems to enhance the group mechanic, pushing the establishment of a collaborative strategy before entering a particular situation.

Re: Rainbow Six Vegas 2 announced

Watched the diary videos on XBL... some very bad *** stuff.

Is co-op offline this year as well? Can anyone confirm?

I agree, it looks very good. Did you get my PM off of your question?

Re: Rainbow Six Vegas 2 announced

So not a lot of info coming and this game is about a week away.

Didn't we have solo and mp demos of the last RB6 game before the release?

[ExtremeGamer]

Re: Rainbow Six Vegas 2 announced

Yes we did.

I'm a little worried about it, but I do think the game will be great. I just know that it seems like every other Rainbow game was great, while the 2nd game was very lackluster and lived off the fame of the game before it. Hopefully that's not the case with Vegas 2, since I loved the first one so much, as we all did.

Re: Rainbow Six Vegas 2 announced

I'm still not sure about this game either. I think the single and multiplayer will be much like Vegas 1, which is fine. But nothing new there except for some better graphics on live and a few different (but are they better?) game modes.

The 2 man co-op seems unbalanced in that player 1 controls both of the friendly AI's. So player 2's role is limited.
