i cant see R6:Vegas being a CoD2 clone, guess people are generally tired of quicksaving and quickloading, i hope they have had the decency to make it challanging without the waves of enemys.

i still havent lost hope, its looking and sounding like a kickass game from the footage i have seen.

The health regeneration system doesn't sound like a big deal...just avoid getting hit and you won't notice it

Well I'm a bit of an old school rainbow 6 guy back with my PS1, so really I'm a bit insulted they have added health regeneration and have created such a goofy plot, the previous plots were believable from what I remember and they wern't outlandish like "TERRORISTS TAKE OVER LAS VEGAS!" I even noticed some of the old R6 missions and mp maps were vaguely based on real life happenings.

I noticed in the trailer I watched nearly every bullet is a tracer........

very good point, so, dont take your cyanide pills just yet

*gulp*...oops

No seriously this game is nothing like it use to be. 3rd person view so you can see what you are shooting at while BLIND firing....yeah...the game is basically just a movie, it reminds me of the movie "SWAT" I'm sure it would be enjoyable to play, but then again I become annoyed easily when unrealistic stuff happens.

I'm with Strother on this one. It's not Rainbow Six anymore. I just wish they'd hurry up and drop the R6 part of the title before they *really* screw the image of the series.


Feh *spits on Super Crime-Fighters: Vegas*

I really don't get why companies insist on buying supposedly valuable game IPs, and then making games that have NOTHING to do with the games that made said IP valuable in the first place..

I mean, its like buying the Homeworld games then turning out a 2d side-scrolling shooter..

Indeed, i dont see the point, they might sell a few copies based on the name, but in the end, all they are doing is throwing away a loyal fanbase, by not sticking to the formula that attracted said fanbase, and i just dont see how thats good buisness..

And its certainly not good for the games, they die, end of story.

Vegas looks like a big improvement over its predecessor, RS:Lockdown. Lockdown was probably the mode arcadey and tactically stupid game I've played in recent memory. I loved RS3, and then for some god awful reason, they turned around and made Lockdown.

In most games without this regeneration, you have to wander around, searching for medikits or else someone without any skill might finish you off while you are low on health. That

So if you like health regeneration, that's fine, but don't try to tell us it's realistic.

I never tried and really, who would? How can a human being regenerate like a vampire or some dude from the x-men comics? Of course thats unrealistic.

What you said about cover isn

Hell the last game already anally violated the series beyond recognition, no point even giving these games the same names as there ancestors anymore, **** this watered down bull**** where have all the godamn sims gone.

It was already dead when they released Lockdown and said "consoles are a bigger market". You knew that was it.

Also another series that shouldn

What is up with people and Arcady FPS games nowadays? CSS and Halo is good, but it would be nice if there was something else realistic.

Unfortunately, it seems that mainstream gaming is going the same way as mainstream film/cinema/music. A couple of good things now and then, but the rest unfortunately complete tripe to appeal to the basest instinct.

It's unfortunate that it's gone this way, Clancy, and a lot of other franchises have gone from intelligent engaging funs to showy drivel which is entertaining for 5 minutes before it's boring and you want whatever's next with the slight hope it won't be a total waste of your money.

For what R6 WAS regeneration is its final death spasm. I remember our old CoD clan which played alsot exclusively S&D and CTF games. One death and out. In addition the weapons were all tweaked so that rifle to the chest took you out of the round.

THAT was tension and made you use cover when appropriate. Sitting behind a box while my wounds seal is a BS solution to the original problem of improperly modelled weapons and wounds.
