Rainbow 6: Vegas 2

[warcrow]

I gotta say--Vegas was the first R6 game I thoroughly enjoyed in a long time. I was surprised how well it worked on the console and thought the team did a good job of simplifying the control scheme. Needless to say, I'm pretty excited for the sequel, although some of the features they're adding sound trivial to me.

IGN: What new Vegas "hot spots" can we expect to see? Will we revisit any old favorites from the first game?

Jean-Pascal Cambiotti: RSV2 explores completely different areas of Las Vegas and beyond. You will experience the grittier parts of the city and go deeper into the seedier areas. You'll lead your team through areas such as a monorail station, a convention center, back allies and an "old school" strip club. Every mission looks completely different, and plays differently too.

Jean-Pascal Cambiotti: Character customization, known as Persistent Elite Creation, is available in both single-player and multiplayer, across all game modes. You create one character, which continually evolves and unlocks gear whether you're playing alone, in co-op or against other players online.

GN: XP- allows you to rank up and unlock visual customization. Will there be prestige classes so people can keep ranking a second time or will it end at the same place as RSV? It seemed people ranked to the top rather quickly in RSV and it would be good to extend that pursuit for the hardcore players.

Jean-Pascal Cambiotti: The player is always rewarded while playing the game. Every action, every objective and every victory leads to a reward. The more XP you get, the more you move up in Ranks and unlock visual customization until you get to the Elite Rank. Instead of adding prestige classes, we went a different route and created the A.C.E.S. rewards, which reward players with weapons including 11 new weapons not found in RSV. This reward is based on using the tactics at your disposal.

I can't wait for the sequel, and I'm looking forward to how they are doing the story. Part of the interview that you didn't quote here talks about how most of the game will be you playing in Vegas at the time that Logan is playing through the Mexico level in the first game. Then later, it's supposed to meet up and finish the storyline where the first game left off.

This makes me want to play through the first one again.

I can't wait for this but I still wish it was a new story in a new city.

I can't wait for this game. R6:Vegas was/is my favorite 360 game by far, I'm actually a huge fan of every R6 game.

I am aware of that fact but I avidly play PC and console games so there is no clear cut line for me

Ubisoft is known for turning great games into terrible console ports on the PC. If it's an Ubisoft title I would say get it for a console.

I loved Rainbow 6: Vegas. It's probably the best game I've played on the 360. If you like great coop and you haven't tried it definitely put it on your must have list.

Can't wait to see R6:V2!

I am looking forward to this one too! I played RS:V constantly on XBL until CoD 4 came out...
