Rainbow Six Vegas 2

[Seddo]

 

 

So another Rainbow Six game is set to be released next March on the Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and on the PC, and once again we will find ourselves kicking terrorist's arses and saving civilians once again in Vegas.

 

This time Ubisoft is adding:-

 

• Two new adversarial multiplayer modes

• More rewards and improved matchmaking to its online elements

• Your customised character can be used across both singleplayer and multiplayer

• The single-player game has been designed "with co-op in mind", allowing for drop-in co-op, and with multiple entry points for each level (That's good as in the first game you had to wait for the whole level to finish to join in)

• It will have 13 brand new multiplayer maps

• Aswell as having 11 new weapons to choose from, new camo, clothing and gear

 

Ubisoft have just released a new teaser trailer aswell which you can find here aswell as releasing a couple more screenshots which can be found here.

I'm.

 

I loved the first game and hopefully they can make this one even better,if not then i'll just buy the first one instead of rent.

 

 

[XBOXLOVER]

I never played it. Is it any good?

[Vanillainy]

I never played it. Is it any good?

If you mean the first, then yes. It was brilliant.

 

I played it on PS3 alot, basically most days. I didn't even complete the storyline, the online was just miles better.

[[email protected]]

lol i havnt even played the first 1 yet im actualy hoping to buy it soon so is it good ? and you recomende me buy the second when it comes out ?

[Moth]

Yeah i really want this game. I loved the first one on the PS3 so i am going to get it.

[Banana]

Yes. By the looks of it, its going to be a good game. I enjoyed the first one, so i know I will like the second one.

[Kippers]

I bought the first one and palsed it a bit then got bored. It wasn't really anuything special imo, so i think i'll skip the second one unless i get round to palying the first one again.

Just been browsing around and found this interview with the Rainbow Six Vegas 2 lead game designer, Jean-Pascal Cambiotti over at IGN.

 

I know it was posted a few days ago there but it's an interesting read if you have a bit of time to spare, for those that have not yet read the interview head over here.

[Alfresco]

I'll be getting this for sure, and I hope a lot of other Z and sysnoders will be getting it.. the teamwork in these games is awesome

[james_root]

game will be good for sure but graphics looks like cartoon.

[ryuclan]

L'm going to pick this one up as soon as it comes out. I like that most of the gameplay is going to be in the lesser known parts of LV.

[Forty]

game will be good for sure but graphics looks like cartoon.

What on earth are you talking about? I think you're looking at screens from a different game. It looks beautiful in what I've seen.

 

So pumped about this. The sequel to the greatest shooter of this generation is a reason to cream myself.

[Daz]

This is all I am basing my life on so if this sucks I will go walk infront of a bus.

[Alfresco]

How can it possibly suck though mate? You loved vegas1, this is more of the same. Just with new guns and the ability to get global points (and drop in and out singleplayer/cop-op mode)

 

edit: if you DO walk out in front of a bus, can I have your guns?

Daz likes to maintain zero expectations so that when the game is good, he can jizz all over himself and wallow in his babyjuice. It's what he likes to do. Don't hate.

[Seddo]

I've just found out that you don't play as Logan who was the main person in the first game as he's supposed to be busy in Mexico doing something , tis a shame he was cool in the first game .

 

Anyway just been watching a Developer Diary on the Vegas 2 website and the game does look amazing, go watch it now.

[Alfresco]

There's no hate 40, I never have hate for Daz.

 

Seddo, because you're in team 2.

 

At the beginning of Vegas1, you were in Mexico, yes? this is meant to chop and change between being prequel and sequel. So ypu play as a member of team 2, whilst Logan is in Mexico.

[Seddo]

I haven't played Rainbow Six 1 in ages in fact i haven't completed t story in single player only on co-op campaign . It's been that long since i done the last level in co-op i don't even now where i finished up in the world lol. I'll just ahve to do a little reading before number 2 comes out.

[Alfresco]

Ditto mate

[Seddo]

Here's a small interview from a Xbox 360 website. It's a pretty good read .

[Seddo]

There's been some pretty cool multiplayer information released and it seems damn good, can't wait for this game, should be evern better than Vegas 1 online aswell.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Tim Cummins at Ubisoft confirmed that the official release date for Vegas 2 is March 18th. The achievements are still not officially available (although we are searching for them) and they were unable to confirm or deny if the PC version would have achievements.

 

However, some additional details are available on the Rainbow Six Vegas 2 multiplayer experience. There is some pretty good stuff, such as the recognition of those who earned Elite in the first game, improved team chat, and reduced loading times. Team Leader also looks like a pretty cool new multiplayer mode.

 

Max # of players:

360 - 14, Dedicated Server 16

 

No map editor.

Ever hear someone tell you, “I’ll take your whole team on”? Multiplayer matches no longer have to be balanced. For example, you can now have a game of 7 vs 2 (Player Match only). No host migration. No split screen online. No multiple “squads” per team.

 

Join In Progress - You now have the option of allowing players to join in the middle of a multiplayer map and play right away instead of waiting until the end of the match. You can toggle this option if you want joiners to wait until the end. No party-invite.

 

Menu Interface – Vegas 1 fans will be happy to know that when in a full room, you can now swap teams without asking someone to leave and re-invite them back. As mentioned in Part 1, you now have 4 slots for custom preset equipment templates: Assault, Recon, Demolition & Sniper. Whatever weapons and gadgets you save on each template will always be there as you freely swap between them. From the multiplayer menu, you have the following:

 

Launch Game (host only)

Change Team

Outfitting

Match Settings (changeable by host)

Players

Options

A.C.E.S.

Statistics

 

Communication - While your team is talking, your HUD will display the person’s name on the top left, showing you who is talking.

 

Sprinting & Bullet Penetration – Sprinting and Bullet Penetration is available in all modes. Please refer to Part 1 for more information.

 

Host Control in Ranked Matches Improved - Ranked Matches are a competitive area where players go to affect their statistics. Therefore, we have certain “fixed” settings that cannot be modified by the host in order to create a fairer experience:

 

- Join In Progress: Disabled

- Game Invitations: Disabled

- Friendly-Fire: Host Control

- Host cannot kick players under any circumstances; In Lobby & In Game.

- Automatically kick a player after 3 Team-Kills

- Lock Teams: Host Control

- Host cannot force a player to change teams

- Auto-Swap Teams: Host Control

- Game cannot start until there is an even number of players on both teams. (ex: 3v3, 4v4)

- Require a minimum number of 4 players before starting the game.

- Modify respawn setting: Disabled; therefore this setting is disabled from the CREATE MATCH and MATCH SETTING screens altogether.

 

 

Radar (Overhead Map) – Can be toggled on or off and is auto-saved to your system. You can set this under multiplayer OPTIONS.

 

Kill Cam – When enabled, the camera will look to the location from which the killing shot came. Kill cam can be toggled on or off under multiplayer MATCH SETTINGS.

 

Loading Time – As mentioned in Part 1, fans will be happy to know that there are no longer 2 loading screens prior to joining a multiplayer map. Loading times have been drastically improved.

 

Rankings – Vegas 2 will reward returning gamers with enough XP to make the first rank, as well as extra gear to help you on your mission. If you are a returning Elite (or completed story mode on realistic difficulty) you will be rewarded all the benefits that veteran gamers get and more.

 

XP Cap per match – There is none! Depending on how well you play (A.C.E.S., Team Kill, Suicide, # of Kills, etc) you can earn up to and over 1200 XP (which was the cap limit in Vegas 1). Mind you, it takes a lot of skill to earn over 1200 XP per match.

 

Multiplayer Modes

 

Team Leader (NEW): Eliminate the enemy team’s leader and their team while protecting your own leader. As long as the Team Leader is still alive, all other team members can respawn to aid the team. Once the Team Leader is killed, there will not be anymore respawns for the team. However, if the Team Leader kills someone on the opposing team, they will no longer respawn whether or not their team leader is alive or dead.

 

Total Conquest (NEW): A revised version of Conquest mode, Total Conquest is an intense back-and-forth game where the tide can turn at anytime. Capture all three satellite transmitters and hold them for the duration of the countdown. If a satellite is interrupted the countdown resets.

 

Deathmatch: Free-for-all combat with no mercy. The player with the most kills wins the match. Respawns optional. Renamed from Survival & Sharpshooter.

 

Team Deathmatch: Two teams compete by hunting each other to see which team will rack up the most kills. Respawns optional. Renamed from Team Survival & Team Sharpshooter.

 

Attack & Defend (There are three game types depending on the map)

 

A&D - Item Extraction: The Attackers must reach and pick up a briefcase, then bring it to an extraction zone. The Defenders they must prevent this from happening. The match can also be won by eliminating the opposing team. C4 cannot be attached to the briefcase. The Defenders cannot pick up the briefcase.

 

A&D - Hostage Rescue: Two hostages are placed in different areas of the map. To win, the Attackers must successfully locate and escort the hostages to the extraction point. The Defenders must prevent the attackers from escorting the hostages to the extraction area.

 

A&D – Demolition (NEW): One team must pick up the bomb and successfully detonate it inside one of the target sites. The other team must prevent this from happening by finding the bomb and defusing it. In other words, there is a role-reversal where the attackers become the defenders (arm bomb then protect it during the countdown), and defenders become the attackers (defend target sites then defuse it when armed).

Sounds excellent, can't wait! Loved doing terrorist hunt two player on the dam. Brought back memories of the Dam level from Call of Duty 1.
