Ubisoft has revealed a sequel to last year's Rainbow Six outing in Sin City, Rainbow Six Vegas 2. The sequel (yes, it's still set in Las Vegas) will be hitting PS3, Xbox 360 and PC in March 2008, with a new single-player campaign and "some surprises" left over for versus and co-op modes. Other than that, Ubisoft is reluctant to reveal any more about the sequel. "Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas has been the effect of a bomb in the world of video gaming in 2006, by introducing in one fell swoop technological advance and innovation in terms gameplay," said Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot, in a French press release we translated on Google.

Yeah, sorry the teams name was "Rainbow" to refer to the multi-national makeup
both are awesome games, but i prefer r6 just a bit more

i would probably agree with you.... cause after playing "Rainbow Six: Vegas" not long ago and just playing Call of Duty 4 (both on pc) recently.... i prefer Rainbow Six VEGAS overall more
They need to return to the realistic style of game play that was in Raven Shield, where you will probably die if you get shot.... not this console-style baloney where you can get shot all you want just so long as you get healing quick. There's already a plethora of console-style shooters on the market. Rainbow Six needs to get away from that.
You should give Vegas a try.
