Vegas 1 and 2 were fairly awful. I guess any change is good news but we're getting farther and farther away from what made Rainbow 6 special (realistic planning and tactics.) The series is basically a Michael Bay movie now, in an industry of Michael Bay movies.

"Rainbow Six: I Am America"
Vegas 2 was underwhelming as a story but I played the shit out of multiplayer enough to make Elite. I'd love for them to do more with Terrorist Hunt, too.

The fearsome Rainbow! If everything fails - call Rainbow. Death comes in the form of Rainbow. What you gonna do when a Rainbow comes for you? The last thing you see before you die is Rainbow... It's an endless pit of mockery. It's like a bad name for a kid in school. If real life special forces were named like that the terrorists would have a helluva time pissing on them. Might as well call them The Jelly Beans.

I am so very very happy over this news... I had given up hope.
I am not even kidding, I want this game so bad.
Only thing that could make me give up on it if they remove split screen and don't have some kind of terrorist hunt.
If they make this 360 exclusive I will buy a 360 just to play this game.

Terrorist Hunt in R6V & R6V2 was completely ruined by the fact that the enemies spawned out of thin air, a lot of times from areas that you cleared that were dead-ends, took any realism the game was shooting for and threw it out the window. That and the default cover system that allowed you to sit around corners and aim your crosshairs to place precision shots when you popped out which encouraged camping.
Ubi has no idea what they are doing, I doubt this turns out well, but I'll keep my eye on it. They have pretty much run Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon and Splinter Cell into the ground with questionable design decisions this gen, after those were 3 powerhouse franchises last gen.

I must admit that they need to fix that little thingy. But even with that, and maybe even because of that, the game is always exciting.TheVisualizer said:

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
Saddest thing is that there aren't even any alternatives. SWAT 5 doesn't look like it's happening any time soon and even indies don't seem to care about trying this genre even though it's as under represented as anything, probably because of the close ties FPS games have with the AAA type industry...TheVisualizer said:

you are a glass half full kinda guy huh
it doesn't make it exciting, it makes it frustrating when you methodically clear half a level of terrorists only have one spawn out of thin air right in front of you while you are reloading or come out of a room you just cleared and shoot you in the back
Alextended said:
yeah, and as long as this doesn't look like a complete abomination I'll probably be picking it up and getting some enjoyment out of it, but your right I am frothing at the mouth for a more tactical FPS experience and no one is gonna take a chance on that until people stop buying COD and BF which isn't happening anytime soon. Companies like Ubi would rather try to make half-assed clones that no one gives a shit about a week after their release instead of innovating these series in other directions...

Rainbow 6, Ghost Recon, and Splinter Cell were all so much cooler in their original incarnations.Neuromancer said:
And every single re-imagining pushes them further and further away from what made them great in the first place.
Throw in all the delays and developmental restarts and it's hard to imagine Ubisoft bungling the line much worse than they have.
Just accept it people, tactical and stealth games are dead, largely due to Ubisoft's obsession with "accessible" games that miss the point. Best we can hope for is for some Slavic team to bring them back like whe Amnesia did for horror games or what ArmA did for combat sims.

I understand what you mean, but i guess it's a dynamic way of adjusting the gameplay to where the players are and to keep them on their toes. I agree it's not perfect.TheVisualizer said:

That's cause military games have moved from making the player a dude, to them them THE dude. Hopefully we'll see a push back from the indie crowd. Frozen Synapse is a good start.

I just don't get why no indies are trying out the genre. Surely it's more loved than that, and its audience wouldn't mind it looking cruder than your average big publisher FPS as long as the gameplay was there, maybe with a decent setting and the variety and presentation to spice it up with... I wouldn't even mind some visually abstract thing that can be done on a minimum budget like Frozen Synapse in FPS or something, calling it a simulation or pushing it as a cyber punk internet war or whatever crap... Just give me good level design, good AI, good weapon and tool combinations that can offer a good amount of tactical possibilities and good modes of play, from campaign to vs.RedSwirl said:

Shit, the thing I loved about the original was I had one guy I used to send on suicide missions where he'd have to take out 75% of the enemies in a level. He'd always end up succeeding and made me look like a little bitch in comparison.
I thought Vegas 1 struck a good compromise between the old and new R6 games and I throught it was pretty decent. Vegas 2 fixed some of the squad limitations from the first game, but the game as a whole was complete dogshit.
So I'm on the fence about this new one. Generally, when you hear the words "gritty" come out of an Ubisoft PR release, it's time to put the wallet away.

Awesome, I loved RSV/RSV2. Coop T-Hunt was and still is the most fun I've had in a multiplayer shooter. I just hope they keep the people behind the latest Splinter Cell as far away from the game as possible. Seeing stuff like 'Rescue the Scientist' written in huge letters on the side of the wall was about the worst idea in video game history.

Vegas 2 was fantastic. Sign me up.
Love the RB6 series and i really really enjoyed Vegas and Vegas 2 (mostly the terrorist hunt stuff) but i hope the next one is more polished, V1 and V2 were buggy and both felt rushed.
Gonna buy it regardless, been playing RB6 games since around 2000-2001, back when they released a huge pack that had RB6/Spear plus all the expansions, man i fucking loved those games.
I even enjoyed Critical Hour, Raven Shield, Black Arrow and that Gameboy Color RB6, i remember hooking up raven shield to live back on the original xbox.. fun stuff.

Sadly I have never played a Rainbow 6 game... But how does the multiplayer compare to say battlefield 3, but in a more close quarter combat area?
Tactical I can understand, but stealth is not dead. DXHR was fantastic stealth-lite, better than anything in recent memory. Thief IV and Dishonored are two 100% stealth-centric games that will hopefully be incredible. And they are making a new Splinter Cell, so who knows?RedSwirl said:
