Title: Who's buying R6:V2, and on what system?
Post by: Eel O'Brian on March 17, 2008, 02:14:58 PM
Once I dump this truckload of suck known as Condemned 2, I think I'll snatch Rainbow Six this week.  Not sure of what system, though.  Depends on if anyone here wants to co-op or mp, and what they get.  I'm open to both.

Is this going to actually be awesome or just a dirty cash-in?

This.

I'm waiting for folks I trust to answer this question and if it's any good, I'll buy it properly and play it on my 360 as the new Call of Duty 4 preferred multiplayer game of choice.

Well, if they implemented a mp system like Burnout Paradise on PS3 it wouldn't be so bad

no one ever plays mp games with me, anyway

i still play the first one every couple of days.

it's still one of the best games on the X360.

Terrorist hunt = god like awesome.


Did they change the spawns back to random? I'm pretty sure in lockdown the Terror Hunts were set spawn points

YEAR OF PS3 CONTINUES :bow2

http://au.xbox360.ign.com/articles/860/860324p1.html

Quote
Unreal Engine 3 still shines through in the detailed character models but the environments are less flashy overall, mainly because you spend the majority of your time away from the bright lights of Las Vegas. There also seem to be more instances of the framerate slowing down, sometimes to a crawl. A symptom that is exacerbated on the PS3 where textures and effects are already not up to the 360's standard.

There should be a yearofps3.com update on how these "slightly lower quality textures result in faster loading times, making the PS3 version the one to get".

The multiplayer is incredibly glitchy.  I have clipping problems up the ass - all kinds of texture issues, popping in and out depending on what wall you take.  I am pretty sure I took cover on a wall and the enemy could not see me, even when he was standing in front of me.  Did anyone even QA test this game?
Title: Re: Who's buying R6:V2, and on what system?
Post by: The Fake Shemp on March 19, 2008, 10:13:44 PM
Plus, with the multiplayer a buggy mess, the PS3 version is the one to own.  Why?  Because nobody plays PS3 games online, so you won't have to deal with all those glitches!

Year of PS3 continues! :bow

I decided to rent it first.  I looked at COD4 on my shelf, which no one played with me, and Halo 3, which no one played with me, and I thought "Do I really need another $60 five hour SP game sitting on my shelf?"

When Halo 3 came out, we played that for like a month straight.  It was sick.  Then, like, we all dropped it.  OH YEAH CALL OF DUTY CAME OUT LOLZ AT BUNGIE!

Rainbow Six Vegas 2 feels like it could be a good multiplayer game, but it needs some patching ASAP and the community is new to it - folks are inquiring about Attack and Defend icons and the cover system.  It's the first day, but - hey! - what a bunch of noobs.

i kept wanting to jump

i did set one or two dudes on fire, though, that was fun

Crime Scene is like Search and Destroy on COD4
