Rainbow Six: Vegas |x360| Early Impressions


Recommended Posts

Absolutely awesome - all of the features from singleplayer, are in the multiplayer (leaning against wall, rope, everything)

Theres also coop

I jumped right into multiplayer the minute i started the game :D

Cool, ima go ahead and pick it up hopefully I won't regret it :D. Thankyou.

Yes, i am :) But I'll pass some time with Singleplayer then, give me a shout when your ready!

Hey man, that was a fun series of Co-op games we played! Sorry I sucked so much, that was pretty much the first time I actually played the game. Before that I was only playing around with the camera, haha. :D

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

Ohh, I see what you mean now. No, it's not a different button to shoot with a different Rate of Fire (ROF). To change your ROF you just hold down X and then press UP on the D-Pad. You can alternate between 1-bullet, 3-bullets, and Multi-bullets. Of course, the lower the ROF the higher the accuracy.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I know how to change rate of fire.

I was wondering what button he used to fire his weapon with..

Because I cant fire very fast in semi-automatic mode IF I use the trigger buttons

But if I use the 'normal' buttons - I can shoot very fast :shiftyninja:

Hey,

Yeah it was great fun, great pratice too! We were just rushing too much i think :laugh: But i played

some of the maps we played in Singleplayer, I'm really disappointed in the Co-op Story mode.

It's basicly Terrorist Hunt in Single-Player maps, there's no "Story" over it. But we gotta do it again

sometime with more people from Neowin, then it's gonna be great! Maybe even some Team Deathmatch.

I can also safely say Yo' Mamas HOT :D ;)

Sorry about my English though ...

Thanks alot for that information (Y)

I've been thinking about buying a Camera but I'm afraid the result is horrible ingame :s

And what the hell are you on about Digix

lol this is scary its like im trembling inside my boots my sony fanboyism is washing out :| oh noesssss xbox 360 isnt looking too bad after alll.... omfg what am i saying :angry: :(

You do know its for the PS3 too right? Due release very-early 2007 :p

Just played this game with a few friends on co-op for a couple of hours. It has some serious issues, sometimes it dosent detect the microphone on that player (60% of time) causing you to keep restarting until all of you have it.

There is also sound clipping where a gun sounds gets stuck and continues to sound throughout the map until you die.

The AI is great in some places, rubbish in others.

Other than that it is a good game. Just needs a patch quickly to fix a few issues, especilly the Voice issue.

Sorry about the bump, but i just got hate to this game for two seconds.

I'm so sick of the Single-Player in this game, the AI can hit you through everything and have super-human vision.

I hate the Save-points in this game, so freaking far apart specialy in some areas. Like when you rescue the first Team-member "Gabe" I believe,

first you need to deal with that assault then you need to fight your way through 2-3 mounted machine guns and storming Super humans ...

Your teammates are a bunch of retards too, they cant do **** by themselves, they die every fifth second ... It's so god damn frustrating :angry:

And I'm only playing on Normal!

Wow, you must really suck :laugh:

But yeah, they do cheat :p

Try it on realistic - maybe they behave different

One criticism of the game I have is that the sub machine guns are much too powerful, and much too accurate.

Exactly, that's my main gripe too! I've been shot with the MP7 countless of times on huge "Sniping" Distances, not lucky shots but a well aimed one-hitter ... MP7 for crying out loud! :angry:

I'm sorry if this has been posted, then it must have gone by me;

Don't worry mate, i think they are well aware of the many issues and are trying to fix them :)

Im incredibly ****ed off at the end of the game.

What a copout, i fight my way all the way through the game, beat the baddy and save the day and all i get for it is a "to be continued" screen. I did like the story though

haha yeah, thought that was a bit tacky too :laugh:

    • Ummmm that is what is it supposed to do. Just turn if off in settings if you do not want it analyzing your open tabs. Chrome does the same thing with Gemini. Sarfari will do the samething after Apple's AI and even more so with the release of their 27 versions that is now powered by Googles LLM/ML models. Understanding why it is doing it and how it can help you vs jumping to some conspiracy theroy is a much better approach. As long as it can be turned off, all is good. Yes the default should be off but the a lot of people would never discover these features.
    • Just another reason (aside from many others) not to use Edge. Firefox 153.0b5 DEx64 has a similar feature added recently in prior builds that I will turn off at some point when I get around to it. It's the new "Something looks suspicious" page that pops up here and there. It cleverly hides itself between web pages that I've actually visited; as a result, you know, of selecting a web page and telling the browser where to go. The interesting thing is that it does not produce these warnings from pages that I, as the only intelligent user of the browser in my system, have ever directed the browser to open! What seems to be happening is that the browser looks at all the goofy ad links on a web page I do actually open and selects one that "looks suspicious" and then creates the "something looks suspicious" web page, which is neatly inserted, as mentioned, between web pages my RB ("real brain") has directed the browser to load in a session. The thing is, I usually look at links I am considering to follow before I ask the browser to load them, and in cases I have noticed where the link does indeed look suspicious, most of the time I will choose to not follow the link at all. Doesn't everyone do this or something similar? I am picky about what I voluntarily load... (I don't like links that start off fine, with a site designaiton that seems normal enough but then is followed by indecipherable alphanumeric strings many, many lines long, etc. I tend to reject those because they look suspicious. They may not be, but I don't care... I'll stay with Firefox, of course, if for no other reason than they usually let you turn off the junk you don't like. And because it isn't Edge... But at some point Microsoft will come to realize that putting your bookmarks on the left side is a Good Thing for a lot of people, just as Microsoft discovered when it had the bright idea of nailing the Windows taskbar to the bottom of the screen, when for decades Microsoft browsers had left that placement up to the user. They have finally reversed the obscenity of that decision. Finally.
    • Google was using the old CATPCHAs data to train their LLMs. What is the say they won't use this camera data of users to train their LLM? these companies need some strict regulations!
    • Depends on what you need. Might be a bit clearer on what you plan to do with it. Sort of a waste if you get the newest and greatest, but don't know how to use it.
