Rainbow Six Vegas (360/PS3)

[Bleeders]

I probably gave up on this too early on, tried playing it on Realistic and died - a lot.

Anyone care to share impressions of the red pack download content?

Are the extra VIP assassination modes and the levels worth it?

I played them for the first time last night and had a great laugh (see the online thread). The three new maps are quite large and the VIP Assasination was good fun. I know that I'll get my money's worth out of them.

I guess 800 points is about NZ$14.00? If you have a group of people that you play with regularly I reckon it's worth getting. Or try and catch the NTSC crew on a weekend (allowing for time zones).

i bought it in the end because R6 Vegas my most played 360 game and it will probably stay for quite a while. the 3 maps are really nicely done and add some variety and freshness to the game for me. whether they are worth this price depends on how much you (will) play them i guess.

Finished the single player today. Bring on the sequel. Thought that was an excellent single player game - really involving and with great firefights.

Finished the single player today.

Snap! Only at normal difficulty for me though

I hope the sequel doesn't have trigger points for enemies to pop in - that is, all the levels should be completely populated from the beginning.

Is a mission disc/dlc likely, for the "to be continued"? Would be cheaper, and a quicker turnaround than a full sequel, no? And hopefully cheaper!

Likewise. I've long since given up pretending I'm any good at games (if I ever need reassurance of this I just go online and get whipped lol). These days I accept I'm just an average player and stick to mid range difficulty settings.

yeah, one of the biggest flaws of this game, especially in the campaign where the trigger points sometimes even came so late you could actually see the enemies appear from out of nowhere before your sight. sniping is pretty useless too.

besides the fact that the random triggering of enemies works still great for the Terrorist Hunt, it's ultimately very disappointing for a next gen tactical shooter. with so much next gen power at hand it should be possible to leave trigger points and scriptinmg behind and offer smarter, more reactive AI.

I must finish my Realistic campaign.

This game - particularly in T-Hunt mode (realistic) has some of the smartest AI I've come across.

Just ask Paulos
