Rainbow Six: Vegas |x360| Early Impressions

[Huleboeren]

Am I the only one who thinks the story is just stupid?

A team of 3 special ops clearing all of las vegas? :/

I liked it much better in R6:Ravenshield where each mission had its own 'story' and it was 2-3 teams clearing a map. Much more tactical...and realistic - Vegas is all about action :no:

And how many special forces uses light machine guns (rambo) in a hostage situation!?

And how many special forces carry 3 (rifle, smg and pistol) weapons on a single mission??

I wish they would do a R6:Vegas Tactical for the real rainbow six'xers :p

and a R6:ACTION! for the kids and...

I remember the 'creative director' saying how they went back to the core values of the franchise; tention, _REALISM_, close quarter battle and tactics..

__MY ASS!__

[Sheppard]

Realism isnt fun, walking into the room and getting shot once would pretty much take you out of the game, imagine how incredibly frustrating that would be having to keep redoing a section because you got hit once.

A lot of films and games arent realistic, that doesnt mean they arent fun to play, there are no such things as dinosaurs but that doesnt mean Jurassic Park is any less fun of a film because its not real.

[Huleboeren]

I didnt say it was not fun - i said it was fun. But it was nothing like the old ones.

They were tactical, more realistic AND fun..

What they said about going back to the core values of the franchise was pure crap..

[Sheppard]

To be fair the game is tactical, you cant just run into a room and spray bullets everywhere, i did that a few times and died lots.

You have to control your teammates, you can choose entrypoints and setup the entrace to a room by tagging terrorists for your teammates to shoot first then coordinate while you go to another entry point. If your not careful the enemy will outflank you.

Its more tactical than you give it credit for, just because theres more action doesnt mean its any less tactical.

[Huleboeren]

Most of the map is linear - Its often theres only one way to get further.

Have you tried the previous? RavenShield perhaps

[.KICK]

Comic says it all :D, hurry up with patch

[neoadorable]

hmm for me this is better than previous titles in the series. the action/tactic balance is OK.

the AI is generally quite dumb, tho. basically they stand there and do nothing most of the time. i find them to be good shots too but it isn't a big problem.

overall a good one.

[Huleboeren]

R6Vegas is full of retards :p

When playing online, all the higher ranked players team up..

So it ends up being 7 lieteunants (or higher) on one team and 5 privates on the other team :/

I tend to shout (in text) and badmouth them :p

: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:

Sorry for not getting back to this thread!

I stay with the default controls, so I shoot with R trigger. It is a bit slower, however, one of the guns is able to do 3 shots per squeeze, that's the one I use. I've noticed a few of the other guns can go down to 1 round and I run into the situation you have, too slow :)

BTW, I just now made it to Vegas so all my experience is in Mexico. Not sure if it matters or not. I haven't had a lot of time to play it (just like GoW, I find I need a few hours to play because it's addicting). I might experiment with some other controls to see if there's a better setup.

How long is playtime for the single player campaign?

Thanks

[Huleboeren]

...quite long...

I think

Theres 6-8 missions which are pretty big imo.

But I play multiplayer mainly so..

Saw an update was released today, when i started the game.

Was this the 'big' update or a small random fix?

And how i hate, when a server restricts a certain item in your templates you need to re-add them when you join another server.

Id like if they if they updated the filter options when you browse servers.

Id like to be able choose what map I wanna play, whatever the gametype.

Wish custom servernames was possible, like: "Streets - Pistol only"

[Sethos]

Yeah, and English servers wern't filled with EVERYONE except English people :rolleyes:

what do you mean? how can they tell which language you're using?

and is it just me or after the update in single player you just sometimes die suddenly for no reason?

[DarkGashX]

The patch is on LIVE now apparently and working.

[Huleboeren]

So what exactly did it fix? I cant feel anything :p

[Sethos]

Me neither :s There's still people i can't hear!

[.KICK]

Me neither :s There's still people i can't hear!

That was the most annoying one.
