Rainbow Six: Vegas |x360| Early Impressions


Recommended Posts

I just took a look at a video over on GT and I must say it looks amazing, the gameplay looks like something you could get hooked on and Single Player CO-OP on LIVE for up to 4 Players is awesome! Can anyone provide a link to me showing the Face Mapping feature? The video only showed a 5 second glimpse.

What I hate in Rainbow Six Vegas is the accuracy - its just awful.

Half of your bullets are gigantic tracers and all submachineguns have better accuracy and power than rifles.

hmm thx for the update hipster. is it true the health system's like COD2-3/GOw in that it recharges? that would help, GRAW sucked eggs for having no med packs in-level.

Yes, it recharges..

Screen goes almost all black with strange color distortion..

To answer myself...

There's a good video on CO-OP and face customization on EuroGamer TV Today. Check it out here.

Anyone know if the face mapping feature will map glasses? I might pick up this game and whatever the camera is called. Might just buy the bundle with an extra year of Xbox Live to save money.

One of the members on here posted some shots earlier in this thread with his glasses on.

Hmm... must have missed that. Couldn't tell from the first picture because his face was all washed out. I can see them of the other picture, and it looks better than I expected.

Been released in the UK tomorrow, just got my copy through from Gameplay! However for some reason, Gameplay have sent me two copies, but only charged me for one! :blink: So now it seems i've got a free copy of RS Vegas :D Anyway probably give this a go tonight after work....

This is why I change my ROF to 1 round per trigger squeeze. I never liked how in RS or GR they default you to maximum ROF. Personally, I think the 1 round is alot more 'realistic' and the accuracy is greatly improved because you don't have the recoil. Slap on a silencer and you can be deadly.

That said, the sneaking up on enemies is kind of weak. There have been instances where I stay completely covered by a wall and the enemy still knows I'm coming and starts firing away.

Finally got the game, I'm not even done with the first Map Section of the game before i jumped on Live.

I love the Player Customization! Finding matches can be a real pain, great pings, no Connect issues but when i search for an English server

i always end up on a server where they speak Japanese, German or BlaBlaMakesNoSense. I really wanna try out Co-op, but i know so few

people who has Xbox 360 :(

Oh really?

What button he was using to shoot with

Well different games have different control setups, but usually:

Right Trigger = Shoot

Left Trigger = Grenade

X = Reload

Y = Switch Guns

etc

Send me a friend invite, I'll be happy to play Co-Op with you, I got the game a week or so ago but I haven't had a chance to play it at all yet.

If you got time for a game tonight, I'll be online from now and the next 2-3 hours :)

Is anyone else having problem while playing Realistic mode, I started playing couple of days ago and I think after the 2 or 3rd mission the game changed the setting to normal all by itself.

I started on realistic - dunno if it has changed, where do you see that?

Yeah I know that! :p

I was talking to soloredd - he says he switches semi-automatic for improved accuracy.

But I cant shoot fast enough with the trigger buttons on semi-automatic setting so I was wondering if he used 'smaller' buttons to shoot making it easiyer and faster.

Look down and see :p

    • And I just bought a seat cushion for my mesh chair. The chair feels nice but the first time I sat in it with boxers, I realized I don't like the feel of mesh on my legs. 😂

    • This Dell 27 inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor is really cheap after a very long time by Sayan Sen Recently we covered a really good deal on an AMD RX 9070 three-fan model that's available at slightly above its MSRP. If you are looking for a GPU for 1440p gaming that's around the performance of the Nvidia RTX 5070 you should most definitely check it out. Let's say that you are looking for a monitor to pair that up with too. The Samsung 49" G9 curved QD-OLED superultrawide is a good option that can provide an immersive experience. However despite being a very good deal currently (at $855), it may seem unaffordable to you, or you may simply not want to spend as much on a monitor. In that case Dell's S2725QS can be a very good option as it's on sale at the moment for its lowest price in over six months (purchase link under the specs table down below). The big highlight of the Dell S2725QS is its 27-inch IPS panel with a 3840 x 2160 (4K UHD) resolution, offering a high pixel density that can make text appear sharper while also providing plenty of screen space for productivity and media consumption. The display supports a refresh rate of up to 120Hz through both HDMI and DisplayPort, making it suitable not only for everyday desktop use but also for smoother gaming and scrolling. AMD FreeSync Premium support is included as well, helping reduce screen tearing during gaming sessions. The screen has fairly good brightness and color accuracy so you can use it for general work purpose, though photo/video editing is probably not going to be the best match for this. The technical specs of the Dell S2725QS are given in the table below: Specification Value Viewable Screen Size 27 in (68.58 cm) Screen Mode 4K UHD Maximum Resolution 3840 × 2160 Maximum Preset Resolution 3840 × 2160 @ 120 Hz Standard Refresh Rate 120 Hz Panel Technology In-plane Switching (IPS) Backlight Technology LED Edgelight System Pixel Density 163 PPI Response Time 8 ms GTG, 5 ms GTG, 4 ms GTG Horizontal Viewing Angle 178° Vertical Viewing Angle 178° Brightness 350 cd/m² (nits) Native Contrast Ratio 1500:1 Color Support 1.07 Billion Colors Color Gamut 99% sRGB (CIE 1931) Adaptive Sync AMD FreeSync Premium HDCP Support Yes Mount Type Panel Mount VESA Mount 100 × 100 mm Maximum Height Adjustment 13 cm Tilt -5° to 21° Swivel -30° to 30° Pivot ±90° Stand Adjustments Tilt, Swivel, Height, Pivot Glass Hardness 3H Horizontal Frequency 27–270 kHz (DisplayPort 1.4 / HDMI 2.1) Vertical Frequency 48–120 Hz (DisplayPort 1.4 / HDMI 2.1) Video Inputs 2 × HDMI 2.1 (HDCP 1.4 & 2.3), 1 × DisplayPort 1.4 (HDCP 1.4 & 2.3) Operating Temperature 0°C to 40°C Storage Temperature -20°C to 60°C Operating Humidity 10%–80% (Non-condensing) Storage Humidity 5%–95% (Non-condensing) Get it at the link below: Dell S2725QS 27-inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor: $218.49 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $280) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.
