Topic: Gaming
Ubisoft releases first details on the next R6V, Tom Clancys Rainbow Six Vegas 2.
More Vegas – Sin City is back and bigger than before. Explore all new Vegas hot spots as the environment changes from dusk to bright daylight to dawn, creating a visual experience that is as challenging as it is breathtaking
11 NEW weapons.
New Camos and Armor to add to the customization options.
11 NEW multiplayer maps, A few of which are said to be remakes from Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield. Smaller maps that force more intense face-offs. (Sorry Snipers, I feel for you.)
 More Rewards!
2 NEW multiplayer modes.
The Xbox Live part is also expanded with a new 'Search' function, for quicker results in match findings.
Ability to join matches that have already started!! So that you don't have to wait until the round is over for you to start. ( What a welcome Feature! how many times have you joined a game but it starts before you completely uplaod the screen leaving you stuck in observer mode!?)
Improved AI From Hell – AI is more challenging than ever. Now, the terrorists are equipped with thermal vision, night vision, and shields – not to mention a multitude of varying reactions – all of which are guaranteed to give you a new playing experience every time you go into battle. As you progress within the game, you’ll only be able to outsmart your enemies by taking advantage of intel opportunities, such as thermal scanning, and tactical strategies, such as leapfrogging.
Ability to choose between a male or female character in the singleplayer.
Unprecedented Customizable Experience – Create your own identity that stays the same in both single player and multiplayer modes and progresses as you do. Reap the benefits of your single player rewards in multiplayer and vice versa.
Vastly Improved Co-op mode – Turn single player mode into co-op mode at any time, just by jumping into the game. Now your friend can jump into your single player game and help you without any change to the story. Single player maps and storyline were created with co-op in mind, which means every map has multiple entry points and the story is the same.
Every cutscene in the game is real-time, like for instance Half Life.
The singleplayer portion is partly sequel and partly prequel. (!?)
The framerate is much higher, which results in a smoother and better image. ( we already know how sweet R6V graphics are, higher frame rate will be sweet)
Planned for release in the US March 1st 2008. You can actualy pre purchase it right now from Ubisoft by going to the link below, and see the cover art as well. ( lets all prey for no setbacks or delays!)
