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!__

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.

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.

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.

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.

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"

    • Bypassed Windows 11 shows surprising stability on ancient, completely unsupported hardware

      By +samw61 · Posted

      Honestly that feels even more useless than it did when Win11 was first released. In 2021, the uproar was somewhat justified, but only when comparing how good we've had it since Windows 7. Prior to that, a new Windows release would often require new, or very recent hardware. Windows XP wouldn't run (in any usable way) on hardware released when it's predecessor Win98 was released (let's ignore ME). It was time to shift the goal post, and the way Microsoft did that was actually ok. People have still had another FIVE YEARS of free software support with Windows 10, and those of us who want to have used these tools to bypass the limitations, all while understanding the impacts that may have. Most laptops don't last 5 years (sadly), so now the youngest unsupported hardware is 9 years old, and apparently has another year of support with Windows 10. That's good. Meanwhile, understanding the impacts and limitations, I have my 2013 laptop running Win11 perfectly fine. The thing that's failing on it is the hardware, the 2.5" SATA cable/chip is failing and corrupting the SSDs I put in. Thankfully it has a functional M.2 sata drive that works fine!
    • iPhone 18 Pro drop-test video and photos leak on the dark web following a data breach

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      iPhone 18 Pro drop-test video and photos leak on the dark web following a data breach by Hamid Ganji iPhone 17 Pro - Image via Apple Apple is seemingly facing one of the biggest data breaches in its history, and just a few months before the official debut of the iPhone 18 Pro series, photos, a drop-test video, a supplier list, and key phone components have reportedly been leaked by hackers. Last week, we reported that Tata Electronics, an Apple supplier and iPhone producer in India, was hit by a data breach. As a result, it was reported that more than 200,000 trade secrets and confidential documents belonging to Apple and Tesla were stolen by the ransomware group World Leaks. According to Reuters, the group has now leaked supplier lists, component details, and photos of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro models on the dark web. One of the materials leaked by the hackers is a drop-test video of the iPhone 18 Pro, which is due to launch this September. The phone is shown in a gray color and has the same familiar design we saw on last year's iPhone 17 Pro series. The device also appears to be quite durable, though it seems to be thicker than last year's model. One possible explanation is that Apple may be using a larger battery in the iPhone 18 Pro series. Moreover, Reuters says it has seen at least six documents mapping many components in the iPhone 18 Pro models to their respective suppliers, including details on chips on the main circuit board and on battery and camera components. The documents reportedly detail hundreds of parts that will be used in the iPhone 18 Pro models. A person familiar with the matter told the outlet that Apple classifies this data as sensitive and “is concerned about the documents being shared on the dark web as they relate to unreleased models.” Apple is reportedly investigating the issue but has yet to issue an official statement.
    • Microsoft Edge gets tons of security features, including AI model that can see your screen

      By monterxz · Posted

      You do you, I've just said that it first appeared in "home" version before it will be available in "work" one. I use Edge only because it still supports MV2 uBO extension even on Android - I'll switch when they stop.
    • Can't access the forum on mobile

      By Steven P. · Posted

      I imagine that was a review or something? My reviews mostly contain a lot of images and galleries, but these are all webp too, but yeah it all adds up on the page load. Would help if you were more helpful with your critique instead of bitching and moaning like a Karen 😂 Because then we might be able to fix it for you.
    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed

      By PsYcHoKiLLa · Posted

      If Valve refused to let them make the case, I wonder if they've already partnered with someone else to do it? The fact that they didn't seek permission/licence before diving straight in is incredible though
