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;

    • The only reason I want to know where you from is because if you are not from the U.K, then why should you care what we in the U.K do or don't do? Racist I am not, I am fed up with the amount coming over here and feel they can come over here and think we need to support them. Do you know how much it costs this country to support these people coming over here? Even when we give them a place to live it is not good enough. We had a barge that was being used to house immigrants, oh but that was not good enough. A mate said to me at the time, when he was homeless, he would have been happy to live on the barge, instead of ending up sleeping on a bench on the beach. I am not scared to say what my family heritage is, unlike you who is scared to say where they are from or where they live. Father side U.S, mother side Wales, still have family living in the U.S. A mate who sadly died a few years ago, had a load of people from different races recording in his studio, I got on with all of them. Skin colour don't bother me, where they are from don't bother me. Religion don't bother me as long as they don't push it onto me and it is not crazy stuff. I am not religious. But if you are not living in the U.K, then why should you care if we are in the E.U or not? This the problem, too many people poking their noses into where it don't belong. But you believe what you believe, if you think I am racist, then be it, I really do not care. Just grow a pair
    • If he hasn't been able to figure that out, then why is he obsessed with tariffs? Because that's one of the most prominent tools to level the playing field when you have high cost of labor.
    • Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5102558, KB5095615 Setup and Recovery updates by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft released the newest preview update (C-release) under KB5095093. Alongside those, Microsoft also released new dynamic updates. For those who may not know, dynamic updates bring improvements to the Windows Recovery process in the form of Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) updates, which are also called Safe OS updates. The dynamic updates also affect the Setup file binaries in the form of Setup updates. These Dynamic Update packages are meant to be applied to existing Windows images prior to their deployment. Dynamic Updates also help preserve Language Pack (LP) and Features on Demand (FODs) content during the upgrade process. VBScript, for example, is currently an FOD on Windows 11 24H2. This time both recovery and setup updates were released for Windows 11. The company writes: "KB5095186: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, version 26H1: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.28000.2335. KB5102558: Setup Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to Windows setup binaries or any files that setup uses for feature updates in Windows 11, version 24H2 and Windows 11, version 25H2. KB5095615: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.26100.8737." Microsoft notes that both the Recovery and Setup updates will be downloaded and installed automatically via the Windows Update channel.
