oh man ...i can`t wait !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is this an xbox 360 exclusive or all platforms including PC?

The game, which Ubisoft said is planned for "next-generation consoles and PC," is scheduled for release in March 2008 to coincide with the 10th anniversary of the Rainbow Six gaming franchise.


RTFA!!!!!!!!!!! ;) j/k

I've been waiting to hear this news for a while now. I can't wait. Vegas still eats up my free time.

That's awesome. Can't wait to get my hands on it.

The week that Halo 3 came out, I ended up spending more time on Vegas. That's a testament to how much I enjoyed the original. I'm buying the sequel day one!

I should be getting bored with COD4 by march... This is great news! Although, I do hope they change the class system up a little bit, and make it so that team stacking isn't rewarded in MP.

I agree. I have just gotten into COD4, but RB6:Vegas had me mesmorized for months :) I can't wait for the sequel. Hopefully it will bring some additional goodies for use in SP and MP.

Maybe....:P

Still my fav online game to date. I cannot wait!

Maybe....:P


Yeah, you caught me. I'm hopelessly addicted

thats cool and all but what about a new Fight Night?

I hope they implement some type of auto map rotation because everyone played the same maps over and over again. I can remember playing the casino map 5 times in a row. I didn't quit because I was on a good team but it was monotonous after awhile

I like the game just not the same maps ad nauseum

thats cool and all but what about a new Fight Night?

uh, who cares.... this is the Ubisoft/RB6:V2 thread :D

HA HA I know and i Loved Vegas. A new one will be sweet. I just like to box as well

Yeah, you caught me. I'm hopelessly addicted

QFT. You and me both. Like no other game I've played before!

I agree, after playing COD4 I appreciate the fact that they even teams out after each game. I also hope they tell you how many points you need to rank up, as opposed to a little bar that slowly fills.

Still my fav online game to date. I cannot wait!

Agree completely. By far my favorite online game. I keep coming back to it after playing all these other great games. I can't wait for the sequel.

I really enjoy COD4 and think of it as a next-gen RB6 (despite being quite different in many ways). However I keep thinking to myself that the one thing holding back COD4 is the lack of a cover system. If only they had implemented the cover system like in RB6 which I think is amazing and the best out there in this regard.

i agree, i love COD4, but give COD4 and RB6 the same quality maps/textures and release date and RB6 would win hands down... there are still plenty of hardcore rb6 guys playing, and when i'm bored of COD4 i will be back there as well until RB6LV2 comes out.

another thing i love about RB6 is the armor! they all have different protection and mobility ratings, perfect for setting up different classes for different situations, and i also enjoyed the face mapping with my live vision camera... i can only imagine what they'll come up with next.

Fantastic news. I hope they honor the ship date! :)

I haven't really gotten much into online play yet, so I'm curious...

Are you guys who play this game over Live playing against people you know in real life? Or random people you meet on Live?

It sounds like a ton of fun, but my concern would be that unless I knew and had a good relationship with Joe Blow who actually loved RB6 and had Live, I'd be reduced to playing with a bunch of immature kids who essentially would ruin the multi-player.

I'll probably pass since Vegas didn't keep me interested. That was a waste of 60 dollars in my experience.

I was a huge fan of Rainbow games until the last two. First the bullet lag almost made the game unplayable for me. Some rooms were better than others, but the majority had terrible lag. Hit box seemed to be off, also.

Secondly, I didn't like the cover system. I like FPS, not third person added just for cover. If they would have made cover in FP, then being able to peak, that would have better, IMO. There were just too many campers hiding behind boxes waiting for you to come around the corner. It got boring.

Ive scientifically confirmed you are the only person in this world that doesnt like RS:V... Seriously... You should be ashamed of yourself...

:p:p:p

Totally understood, the game is not for everyone. I do agree with most other guys that love this game. Big fan and I hope that like Tiger Woods picture system, the camera picture you take for your character allows you to move your mouth so you dont look so "wooden"...

Rainbow Six: Vegas was so addictive that I would buy Rainbow Six: Anything on day one.

whoa there...that's a big mistake. Check out Rainbow Six: Lockdown first before you say that. After that one, I won't 'automatically' buy anything from a known franchise until I hear some reviews first.

As long as Redstorm stays far far away from it and it's developed by Ubisoft Montreal (or Paris in GRAW's case or Shanghai in even numbered Splinter Cell's case), then it's a day one buy.

dont worry, look at the article title...



"Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 Announced
Ubisoft Montreal doubles down."

The game is fantastic and Im still playin co-op on live with a friend half way around the world. Only gripe I have is why does it take so f-ing long to rank up?! and whats up with the gay fluorescent uniforms I see running around killing me on live ha ha.

I just hope they setup multi like COD4. It gets annoying playing that casino level over and over and over and over and over again....

I hope it's not like GRAW2, more of the same for $60.

i hope it is more of the same, with some improvements, "if it ain't broked, dun fix it"

I totally agree. I really enjoyed R6 Vegas and looking forward to seeing an improved version, and not a completely different game.

I hope they bring in the spawn style from COD4, spawn camping is atrocious in Vegas.

Didn't they already clean up Vegas?

Actually, wasn't the ending a cliffhanger? Honestly can't remember.

The ending definitely seemed incomplete. You stopped the dam attack but I don't remember if you defeated the terrorist group. I remember reading that there was going to be downloadable SP levels, but perhaps they just turned that into R6:V2.

In the end of R6 Vegas:Your team member that betrayed you escapes by helicopter with the rest of the terrorists, even though you just killed their "leader."

I hope they bring in the spawn style from COD4, spawn camping is atrocious in Vegas.

I disagree. You have a buffer when you spawn. Only terrible teams get camped in Vegas.

i agree, and you have multiple spawn points that you can choose from.... your team has to be garbage to get spawn camped.... i have been on that side, and the match wasnt even worth playing anyway.

Developer Diary #1 (http://www.gamersyde.com/stream_5890_en.html)

They basically stole the barracks system from CoD4, good for them I guess. CoD4 is awesome.

Big fan and I hope that like Tiger Woods picture system, the camera picture you take for your character allows you to move your mouth so you dont look so "wooden"...

NOOOOOOOOOO! Do Not Want!

I really enjoyed the insane Sloth from the Goonies faces that thing can produce. Intentionally don't line up the front shot and the side shot and it makes for many amusing results. Try making goofy faces, smiling, tongue out. When it meshes the pictures into the 3D model it is nothing but Zombie retards and cracks me up. Grow a beard or ridiculous mustache. The fun never ends!

This however does always stop playing in the first round online for at least a few minutes as your team members are too busy ROFLing to play the game.

hmmm you may have a point about the mouth moving.....now that I think about it that could be even funnier.

I hope they bring in the spawn style from COD4, spawn camping is atrocious in Vegas.

I agree. Something must be done. Either change the spawn pattern and/or improve the maps with fewer bottlenecks.

Also, and this is nothing new, but something needs to be done to lessen the host advantage; it is ridiculous! Nothing like the host sitting on top of the roof with a shottie with grenades turned off. Want a wuss. I learned my lesson and stopped playing in these games.

I also woundn't mind them adding good 'ol matchmaking as well in addition to customs. This would ensure the host of the game is unknown and the variables which the host can turn on or off to benefit his style of play is elminated.

Sounds like they've beefed up the co-op. Good news.

Looks very promising. It should be a nice diversion from COD4.

Just hope SP is more than 4 hours to beat. I'm not a MP guy, so all these FPS games I play in SP mode. Must've played R6V 6 times and COD4 10 times. This is a day 1 purchase as well as "End War" in 09'.

Sounds like they've beefed up the co-op. Good news.

Yes, they added the cut-scenes back in and increased the story, but how does taking it from 4 man co-op to 2-man co-op (and forcing you to play with computer AI to make up the rest of your team) "beefing it up". I played this game on co-op with three of my friends and it was awesome. I'm not looking forward to playing the new game with only one other guy and being forced to team up with two AI guys instead.

If you already had 4 man co-op in the first version, don't take a step back and reduce it 50% for the new version.

Oh my god, a developer is actually trying to flesh out single player mode instead of just MP?

The times are changing.

Awards for any mode of play is awesome. I don't play MP so this is great news. MP gets so many more features usually. I'm playing Vegas again right now. It keeps bringing me back. I like the COD series, especially COD4 but the tactics and squad commands of RB6 offer more gameplay (for me at least). Having to work for extra stuff in the game like guns and equipment will be great. I like getting achievements but this will actually give players something other than points (yes some games reward you with in-game content for achievements but not many).

Looks like 2008 will be another great year for gaming with Vegas 2 and the other great games coming up this year.

apparently, hiding behinds walls won't stop bullets from hitting you anymore... and you can now sprint!

well, at least there's sprinting now... I can't even count how many times I couldn't run away from a grenade.

After playing COD4, I can't imagine not having sprint.

Did anybody else find the online section of this game on the 360 confusing?

I only bought it recently (used, to check it out before the new one comes out) and have found it quite frustrating compared to say, navigating around Team Fortress 2.

For example I would enter a game and then be expected to sit there for 18 minutes before I could spawn and play. Or I'd see a game with a few "empty slots" (why not just tell me how many people are in the room and show me the maximum number allowed in?) and load up all these graphical asset screens to find out I'm the only person in the game.

I think it's just because I'm a noob at the game, but I spent alot of time wandering around giant maps just looking for someone to shoot/shoot me. I didn't find it particularly user friendly anyway! :(
