Rainbow6 2 or COD4

Re: Rainbow6 2 or COD4

I would say play both, but I still think that CoD4 (online) will go down as the best shooter this generation. Even with the years left on ps3 and xbox360, I don't think anything will touch it. There is nothing even on the horizon that will challenge it, I think it's that good, and it's almost spoiled the rest of the shooters that will come out.

This is true..a very non OS answer..lol. Many people on here always get the newest game and convince themselves it is the best game because they just spent 60 dollars on it. COD 4 is a classic. I believe Vegas part I was also until COD showed just how great a FPS can be. My point is that there new maps coming out for COD, and you may just want a break from the game if you have prestiged 4 times. But to trade it in is a mistake IMO, and I trade in about every game at some point. I will not trade in COD 4 until it is topped. That is how great this game is IMO. Also, watch what happens when GTA comes out. Everyone will play that and take a break from R6II and COD4. When they come back to those games, more will probably rediscover COD4 over Rainbow. So I would rent Rainbow right now. That is the most financially sound decision you can make.

I don't doubt COD 4 as a classic, nor am I planning on trading it in anytime soon.

I guess the biggest distinction is to note that you can hop on with 2 or 3 friends and play against the CPU in Terrorist Hunt (or play 2 player co-op online in the single player). That would be the one big thing that separates COD4 from RB6....it all just depends on what you and your friends enjoy, both are great.

I pretty much agree. I always trade in my games too, but not COD 4. I doubt it gets traded in until COD 6 drops and I can replace it.

Yep. For me, Co-op is nothing major, I don't care either way but others love it.

Re: Rainbow6 2 or COD4

RB6 is a nice change of pace. But if its a financial issue, keep COD and keep your cash for GTA.

Re: Rainbow6 2 or COD4

No. I'd suggest that you and your friends pick up Vegas 1, which now under $20 used at amazon. It's just about the same game as Vegas 2, plus there are a bunch of free map packs on the marketplace. Plus you get Retrieval, the most popular game mode, which is missing from 2.

Easily my exact suggestion as well. Everyone says R6:V2 is nothing more than an extension of the first game... so just get the first game. No graphical stuttering and one of the best gaming experiences I remember having for a FPS until CoD4 came out.

Re: Rainbow6 2 or COD4

I went out and purchased R62 and I think its a good game. I like the online match search better in COD. I dont like the fact that if a game is already started I get kicked back all the way out to the search screen again. I like the RPG like player progression and it actually shows your rank on the players sleeve. Xbox vision is cool also. I popped in COD just for sh**z n giggles to see the difference and they are TOTALLY DIFFERENT GAMES.

I like the cover system and the more tactical the game feels. Thanks for all the help with thoughts guys. You guys rock.

Mods if you want to close this thread go ahead. I made up my mind. Thanks.

Re: Rainbow6 2 or COD4

I played it and Im going back to COD. R6 is just not for me. It's more a tactical but, people online play it like COD. And the repsawn camping is a total mess. I tried. Im going back to COD>

The camping is the only knock I have about this game. How can someone have fun waiting to kill you at your re-spawn???? Better question is why did Ubisoft make the respawn in the same place everytime?

Re: Rainbow6 2 or COD4

i never understood how people who play a game that has respawns could complain about spawn camping. when you set a game like that up with tiny maps for 20 minutes, by the 7th minute, someone should have control of a spawn. thats the design of the game. Ubi tries to help those a little adding a 5 second invulnerability shield. If you don't want to spawn camp, or be spawn camped. then respawn games aren't really for you. unless the maps are huge, and when someone dies they have to go all the back to their spawn and it takes a little while to get back. But in rainbow, you can get to someones spawn in 15 seconds on most maps.

Personally I play Non Respawn games. Games are more intense when you only have 1 life and if you die you have to sit out the rest of the round. I would think its silly to complain about spawn camping, but then only play modes that, you know, promote spawn camping.

Re: Rainbow6 2 or COD4

What do you guys think about this?

You are invulnerable for at least 3 seconds during a respawn. This will keep spawn campers clear of the spawn point.

RB6 2 didn't last long at the top of XBOX Live. COD has regained the top spot and Halo 3 has moved ahead of RB6.

Rainbow Six was never ahead of either of them. CoD and Halo 3 were the top 2 last week also.

I'm one who doesn't agree or understand the whole 'rb6 is more tactical' argument. To add to that I also think that the 'cod4 people run around aimlessly' argument rediculous.

What is more 'tactical' about rb6 (I was a vet of the first one)?
I think that cod4 is more tactical than at least vegas1 (since I owned that one and played the crap out of it)

Cod has actual longish-range sniping, claymores, and real comoflauge suits, as well as buildings AND natural landscapes/nature. Rb6 has a cover system, but that lets you see things that you rightfully shouldn't from a 1st person perspective. I have never thought hat rb6 was anymore tactical than almost any shooter. The only thing that makes a game 'tactical' is if you are using 'tactics' the more you have at your disposal, the more 'tactical' it is and cod4 simply has more options as far as strategy goes in how to go about playing in a multiplayer match.

Secondly, if you are talking about team tactics; all that is dependent upon is who you are playing with, and if you work together as a team. There is nothing that seperates the two games in this regard. It is all about how good a communicator you are and the people that are on you team (friends or randoms).

The final way people may choose to say that one game is more 'tactical' than the other is really to imply that it contains more realism. I've never seen a compelling argument that shows Vegas to be more realistic.

I needed to get that off my chest because people say this about vegas without even thinking about it, as if it's some absolute truth, which I completely disagree with. Not in anyway trying to take away from the game, the only thing I can agree with is that these 2 games play very differently.

Re: Rainbow6 2 or COD4

Sorry if there have been threads made about this. I didnt want to sift through both R6 and COD threads to find out.

Here's my question.

I have COD4 and already hit prestige mode 4 times and even though the new maps are coming out its starting to get boring to me. I need something different I think. I still love the game but, my friends and I are needing a new challenge.

Is Rainbow 6 Vegas 2 worth getting? Or should I keep playing COD4? Any input good or bad will be great. Thanks guys.

GRAW2 !!!!!!!!

Open air, TONS of new maps, like Hoosier said...different experience than the "arcade type" shooter that COD4 is.

I've been playing GRAW like crazy with the new maps. I'm a sucker for Tom Clancy games and have always enjoyed the "open air" feel of the GRAW series more so than the "closed in" warehouse type feel of Rainbow Six.
