http://www.gamersreports.com/news/69...-first-screen/
PRESS RELEASE
London, UK — November 20, 2007 — Today Ubisoft, one of the world’s largest video game publishers, announced that it is developing Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six® Vegas 2 for next-generation consoles and PC. Developed at Ubisoft Montreal by the same team that created the award-winning Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Vegas, the highly anticipated sequel is scheduled for a March 2008 release. Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Vegas 2 is the sixth iteration in the wildly successful Rainbow Six franchise which celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2008 with more than 16 million units sold worldwide to date.
“Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Vegas took the gaming world by storm in 2006 thanks to its technological advances and gameplay innovations,” said Yves Guillemot, president and chief executive officer at Ubisoft. “We are convinced that Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Vegas 2 will remain a pioneer in the highly competitive first person shooter genre, bringing more of what Rainbow Six fans love to the table.”
The highly anticipated sequel to the winner of numerous awards, including IGN’s 2006 Best First Person Shooter and Best Online Game, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Vegas 2 will push the franchise to new heights by adding new gameplay features and even more stunning visuals. Players will encounter an intense solo campaign that uses new tactical possibilities in various locations around Sin City. As expected with one of the pioneer franchises for online multiplayer Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Vegas 2 will also break new ground in both co-op and adversarial modes, while providing unprecedented interaction between the solo and multiplayer modes.

I thought you got to change equip. when you got to those equipment boxes scattered around the game?
I'm complaint about the first one are the 2 idiots that you have to constantly save... I usually just command them off the a corner and do it by myself... so I wouldn't have to risk my ass trying to save their assess...

so, yesterday... I started playing RBS-V again... I've tried playing it before after heavily gettin' into COD4, but I just couldn't bare with the pace...plus the controls are all mess up (B button is for throwing grenades, but it's crouching/prone position for COD4 and I get confused), anyway it's soooooooooooo slow (comparing with COD4). But this time, I stuck with it, because I need to be familiar with the controls for next week's RBS-V2 release... So I played single player for a couple hours... then went into playing multiplayer... after just one game, it reminded me why... in a way, I don't miss RBS-V M.P... all the fucking damn people there.... I played ONE LONG 20 minute match... the team I was on, was behind the whole time, then the last minute we caught up and pulled ahead by only a couple kills... so all the guys on my team were "...okay, just stay back, we got this one..." and the fucking host ended the game early by a few seconds left in the game... I'm soooooooooo annoyed right now I don't even want to use smilies to express how I think some guys can be so damn immature. And you know they were all just bustin' up. I remember now, they used to pull this shit all the time when I was playing RBS MP. This doesn't seem to happen on COD4. I know it's just a game... but it's not even about that... it's the fact that you and your team come from behind to (almost) win, what started out to be a lopsided match... then the asshat sore loser decides that wasn't going to happen.

I've played a few games like that and it annoys me like hell. Also, I was playing the game where you have to get the briefcase and I was getting it and taking it to the check point, and my team T-Kills me because they didn't want the game to end quick (15 min in). I guess they all wanted to rack up kills to get Exp. pts.
That annoyed me to all hell; if they want to rack up points, go play DM.

that's kind of dissapointing. I had never really played FPS games before (I did have Resistance, and played the old James Bond games on N64)......but they had never appealed to me.
Then I got COD4 and my life has been OVER since. I never played the original R6LV but a lot of my friends did and kept raving it up....also a lot of the people I play COD4 with keep talking about how much better R6V2 will be....so it's peaked my interest.

COD4 was a major evolution form COD3. While R6V2 seems like less of an evolution from R6V1.
