Looks like Rainbow Six Vegas 2 was not as ready for release as you might think.
While the 360 problems are not as bad as the PS3 version I'm sure you will find them to be a pain in the butt anyway.
Just to name a few the stat-tracking and gamerscore wont function properly and your game data from Rainbow Six Vegas 1 will not carry over properly causing players the inability to unlock some of the early achievements.
We have no word on when a patch will be out to fix the new found problems but if you find any glitches you asked to report them here: UBI forum
I guess this shows you cant get all the bugs out all the time and we will do are best to keep you up to date on the subject.
If you have taken the time to check out some of the gamerscores out there I'm sure you have said to yourself they must be cheating and it looks like some of them have been.
Xbox.com has posted a report on what will happen if anyone has been found altering or tampering with there gamerscore and it don't look good for the cheats out there.
The report said: "A LIVE player who obtained their gamerscore in this abnormal way will"
Find their gamerscore reset to zero, and
Be unable to regain all previously earned achievements, and
Be labeled as a “cheater” for the community to view.
"While players who have been identified by these criteria will start from a zero gamerscore, they will still be able to gain achievements for future games. In other words, we give them another chance to earn future achievements by earning them as other “fair” players do. The original gamerscore correction will remain permanent without any way to appeal."
With all that said lets keep it fair and lets do it right or not at all, happy gaming guys.
