If you're playing through the campaign, a friend can jump in and play as one of your team-if your friend quits out, the system will resume control of the character. However, like in Gears of War, you won't be able to shoot while sprinting.Ĭooperative play in Vegas has been revamped, and the whole story campaign can now be played from start to finish with seamless switching between one and two players. While it can be used only in short bursts, unlike in Gears of War, it's still good for dashing between cover or trying to cross smaller open areas. Ubisoft has added a new sprint function to Vegas 2, which is activated by a quick button press.
The physics associated with your chosen cover will determine how much damage you'll sustain when hiding behind it-while solid concrete and metal are pretty hard to penetrate, hiding behind a plywood wall is just asking for trouble. The changes in bullet penetration mean that choosing your weapon has taken on a new level of importance. There are 11 new weapons in Vegas 2, and some of the existing weapons have been tweaked-the shotgun reload speed, for example, has been increased from somewhat sluggish to a speedy half-second between shots.
Rest assured that the graphics certainly looked promising. One important aspect for Ubisoft in developing Vegas 2 was to make sure there was no reduction in graphics quality in multiplayer games. Downloadable content was strongly hinted at, but there is no official word as yet.īecause Vegas 2 uses the same Unreal Engine used in the first game, Ubisoft has been able to spend more development time improving the artificial intelligence, graphics, and multiplayer experience. The final version will be out in stores on March 14 in Europe and will support up to 16 players, online and offline, on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC. We played a near-final build on the Xbox 360.

Ubisoft has tweaked the cooperative campaign mode and added a series of multiplayer modes with Vegas 2. New maps have been included in RSV2 including this frantic one dubbed Villa. We recently caught up with Ubisoft Montreal's game designer Philippe Therien in London, and he took us through some of the new additions to the multiplayer side of the game. Not long ago we went to Montreal and had a look at the single-player campaign, but we hadn't seen the multiplayer mode until now. Rainbow Six Vegas 2 was under wraps until recently and is now just around the corner. Any unlockable content will also be disabled, even if you’ve unlocked them before the game’s servers went dark.When we reviewed Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas back in 2006, one of the things that stood out was a rewarding multiplayer experience, something that has been tacked on as an afterthought in some shooters. Its features related to Ubisoft Connect will also go dark, and any currency you might have for the game will disappear. What’s going away are the multiplayer online services for the game. If you own Rainbow Six Vegas or any of the games above, don’t worry so much, you can still play the game’s single-player modes as usual. On June 1, the forum post indicates that the following games will cease its online services:
Meanwhile, a much more specific date has been given to some other favorite titles – this time unrelated to Tom Clancy. The exact date on when these games will lose their online functionalities wasn’t indicated in the forum post. Meanwhile, another Tom Clancy game will lose its online server – Ghost Recon Future Soldier. These are Rainbow Six Vegas, its sequel Vegas 2, and Rainbow Six Lockdown. A couple of Rainbow Six games are getting the ax.
