Rainbow Six Vegas 2 - General Discussion & Info

[quote name='A Happy Panda']I'll add you for COD4. I just have a feeling that when the map pack releases next week, people will go back to COD4. Then when GTA4 hits, people will forget about both games.[/quote]

I got suckered into playing Grifball with the CAGs. Other than that, I plan on playing RSV1/2 exclusively. I am getting bored of CoD 4. Well more frustrated with it. I am not paying for more maps when they will be free later on. I might get them for Vegas 2 when they come out.
 
Can someone explain to me how on PS3 I can have my friend save his progress on his own profile rather than GUEST? And how can he change his appearance and check all rewards and what not? I'm confused a little bit.

You might have better luck asking in this thread: http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=176468

Not too sure how the PS3 vegas menus work, but it should auto-log you into your char if it's anything like the 360 version.
 
I don't know how frequent this is, but some people are having their experience and levels reset... even after reaching elite :\

Between this and other glitches, I hope Ubisoft is working on a patch.
 
Its ok. I got mine yesterday and have just been playing the SP so far. Its nothing special and a pretty run of the mill sequel. Seems a bit more tactical so far then RSV1.

That said, this game is dead to me come the 29th of April.

I read that this happens when you're using the guide as the game loads up. don't know how reliable that is, but might want to keep it in mind.

Are you serious? Super Fighting All-Stars '98 Megamix HD Remix 4 - duh :D.

But in all seriousness, you must not be a GTA 4 fan then.

I'm not a GTA4 fan and even I knew that :roll:
 
Nope... GTA4 sucks. Since I'm gonna get flamed anyway, I'll say Jack Black, Kevin Smith and, Tarantino suck too. lool

GTA4 is going to be MOTS. And Tarantino does suck.

The NES is a great system. (oops, wrong thread)

I'm in love with Vegas 2. I must be too ugly, though, because no matter what I do I can't get the face mapping to work :(
 
Before RSV2 that's all I was thinkin about as releases go.

I need to try the Face mapping also, I don't get why they had to make all the include faces so damn butt ugly, even Danny Glover looks like crap.
 
This game should be $40. Anyone remember Rainbow Six Black Arrow? Great game but doesn't deserve to be called Rainbow Six 4 and be sold for $50.
 
Do you guys think its worth it because I'm just an average fan of the series but not a die hard fan. And from what I've seen it looks almost the same other than the sprint feature and a couple new game modes...

A lot of people say it's the same thing as the first Vegas. I didn't like the first Vegas very much, but love this one.
 
Beat the single player with a friend last night on realistic the whole way though and thought it was a pretty good experience. We both hate terrorist hunts so we avoid them but we have to get them done to get that achievement. I think multiplayer is hit and miss. As long as you get on a good team its a great experience but thats problaby every game.
 
It would be nice if people joined my damn game when I host.

No one ever joins. It is just me and my friend sitting in a lobby for minutes on end until we give up.
 
I need to finish the game. I have dumped hours and hours into THunt. Anyone want to COOP this on realistic over the next few weeks?

Think it still has to deal with the online connect bug... I have yet to get into any game online period...
 
My friend came over to play, but for some odd reason I still haven't gotten the Private First Class achievement, is there a glitch or am I still in need to level up? I'm at the specialist level BTW.

Glitch if he played the first Vegas a lot. Some of your XP got carried over to Vegas2. I started on Corporal, so I missed out :(

Oh yeah I read that there was a glitch about that yesterday, any news on an update or patch for this already?
 
Online experience pisses me off. I dont understand why they didnt include a party system. It makes ranked team play useless.

You can invite to ranked. You have to use the "Invite Friends" on the left side menu under "A.C.E.S." I think. You cant use the dashboard menu.

play player matches, you get the same XP and don't have to go searching again after the match is over.
 
I finally got this and I am rather dissapointed. Its fun but its just nothing new and not very exciting. After playing Bad Company, this game just doesnt stack up......I have played vs some and all I can say is i can't believe I payed $48 for this. This is vegas 1.5 and its worse than the original
 
This game is a dissapointment, thank god I only rented it. Absolutely nothing was fixed from first game. Warping terrorists, Terrorists with SPAZ(shotty) Shoot more accurate over the same distances as sniper rifles..... Now cover system wasnt fixed again, you get killed when bullets "Sneak" through walls. AI is pretty cheap, wow, I cant believe they butchered R6 series. Is GRAW franchise next to get the shaft?

Yeah it's been a bit of a dissapointment for me too. Why they included some of the same maps as Vegas 1 in the mutiplayer is mystery to me. Lazy I guess.
One thing I noticed is there is a lot more advertising in the game. Ads are all over the place. Seems as an excuse to get money for product placement.

A real half-ass game for a great franchise on the part of Ubisoft.
 
Yeah Vegas sucks and I'm going back to lock down!!!

Infact I'm going to go buy MLB2k8 because we all know that wasn't half assed either

For those that care/want their achievement: Apparently Ubisoft is working on a patch to fix it. They just didn't list a date or what method would have to be taken to get the achievement. I just hope It's not something extreme like reseting everyones rank (lol).

However they did not mention any fixes for people losing all their experience/rank which has happended to over a dozen + people so far, maybe more.
 
[quote name='DarkRider23']Penetration, maybe?

I think Its just bad detection, I was hiding behind a wall clearly, there is no way he'd kill me by going through a cement wall. The cover system is just flawed. :(
grr
 
I'm loving the game so far. I guess if you don't expect it to be the most stellar experience this side of COD 4 or Halo, then you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Sure, it's got its issues. But the core game play is still fun and the constant XP is a nice reward. I haven't tried the multiplayer yet, but I'm sure playing t-hunt with some CAGs will be fun.

I'm not really sure why people expected this game to be radically different - the original game came out less than a year and a half ago. It's not like COD 4, where COD 2 came out more than two years later.

Less production time = less innovative.

Nothing new.....Not as fluid as 1.....Slow game overall.....Single Player was better in one....


As for the person that made fun of 2k8 I'm sure you played the game what 5 minutes?

You complain about nothing new, yet you are defending a Baseball game. One that is a yearly iteration. I find that funny.

I can't stand people who come into a thread about a game and just bitch about the game. More so when they just say limited responses that any asshat could cook up. If your response has more periods than words, it is not worth posting........................................................................................................

I am going to get on during the Pistons halftime. Earlier if the Heat start to light it up and the Pistons decide to not show up. If you want to THunt on Villa, I will be there!

I was going to respond to the 2k8 comment but Kendal summed it up pretty nicely.

How much boosting did you do X and how long? and/or how much Team Leader (in hours) do u you think it would take me from first Lieutenant to Elite?

I agree that this game has a lot of improvements over the first in terms of equipment/tweaks I just wish it had a new graphics engine but that would be asking too much. I think in terms of sports games improvements It's leaps and bounds better.
 
I happen to like baseball so what. Sports games have a 9 month developement cycle so they are compared differently than a game on a year and a half schedule. This game is a joke at $60. Im sure you are the same people that bitch about the way EA handles there games and yet when a new graw, or rainbow game is released you buy it instantly regardless of what is improved and you dont complain a bit.

As for these so called improvements?

Sprint? Wow what an amazing inovation. That is why I bought a 360? For sprint?
New armor/enviroments? It took them a year and a half for that?
Single Player is better in this one? Hardly, the graphics are worse and the story isnt interesting. I realize its a tactical game but the game has no fluidity at all.

As for me bad mouthing the game, why can't I? Isnt that the point of this thread. To state opinions on the game?
So what if I think its garbage there are other people on here that obviously feel the same?

You think this game is leaps and bounds better? Can you honestly say this game is better than: Gears(2006), Splinter Cell(2006), Battlefield(2006), Halo(2007), Half Life(2005)......This game doesnt even approach those games levels. Rainbow Six three was the pinacle of the series and they have been lazy since in developing these games....This game was released in 2008 and they can't even come close to a game that was released in 2006 and developed on for a few years before that. Clearly no one told UBI Soft that the point of this generation is to move foward not stay stagnant

Woo hoo someone who understands that Rainbow Six Vegas 2 is an expansion pack and that Rainbow Six 3 Raven Shield is the best Rainbow Six (uh I am being sincere just in case it was difficult to discern).

With a typical Team Leader match lasting less than 2 minutes (and if you can get a minimum of 400 XP each match - 200 for killing enemy team leader and 200 for eliminating other team) and the gap between 1st Lieutenant and Elite being 190k XP, it would come out to be almost 16 hours.

I don't follow you on questioning the environments. They didn't copy and paste a single level in the game. Yes, Streets and Presidio make their return to a Rainbow Six game, but they have been tweaked from the originals. Your single player AI is much smarter in this game, there's a lot more variation in the mission locales, there's more twists/turns in this game's story than it's counterpart, and Co-Op story is a lot smoother this time around. Also, with the unmentioned A.C.E.S. system, the game now gives you mini-challenges to do while doing the story.

Those games have nothing to do with the Rainbow Six series. Each game you mentioned is a completely different experience from the others.
 
Well I didn't know we were throwing sand in each others vagina's in this thread, but I just got this game today and I'm totally surprised at how much I really like it.


I hated the first game. The single player was boring as shit and the pacing sucked. The multiplayer felt unfinished and glitchy and the hit detection and over all feel of the game just felt blah.

This one however, while not a HUGE technical jump of most "Sequels", is outstanding. The hit detection is spot on, the multiplayer is a blast, the leveling up is fun, the challenge is great, and the single player so far is fun too.

To the guy arguing that this doesn't compare with sports games somehow, dude your totally backing yourself into a ridiculous corner with that argument.
 
Ok this is the last time I'll comment on the matter. About the sports games vs this I am talking about developement time not the types of games. They have a lot more time to develope a game like rainbow vs a sports game and yet they made almost no improvements. Bungie has already released what 8 maps in a matter of 4 months? So Red Storm took 1.5 years to make a few new maps and a sinple with worse graphics. Not to mention the ACES system and leveling up was done to put this game on COD 4's level and its not. As for my comparison of those other shooters, my point is those games blow this game away. I put the years on there to show that those games came out almost two years and three years ago and yet they are leaps and bounds better than this game.

If you guys enjoy this game great. I just have a problem with lazy a$$ developers like Red Storm and Publishers like UBI Soft that allow this type of thing. No different from EA
 
Again why is this being compared to COD4...? At least stuff works unlike COD4.

No different than EA... ? Uh... so how does Army of Two compare? yeah.. that's what I thought.
