New Rainbow Six Vegas 2 Details and Screens: Same Old Thing?

Well, look what Ubisoft released today! That’s right, some new Rainbow Six Vegas 2 info and two new screens. The details are as follows, and all have been officially confirmed by Ubisoft.

* More Multiplayer - The highly acclaimed multiplayer mode in Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Vegas has been upgraded to include 13 new maps with more intense face-offs, two new adversarial modes, more rewards, and easier access to matches using the improved and intuitive matchmaking system.

* Unprecedented Customizable Experience - Create your own identity that persists through both the single player and multiplayer modes and progresses along with you. 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 you and a friend can jump into a single player game and assist without any change to the story. The single player maps and storyline were created with co-op in mind, meaning every map has multiple entry points and the story is unaffected.

* Challenging AI - The 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 tactics - 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 be able to outsmart your enemies by taking advantage of intelligence opportunities, such as thermal scanning.

* New Weapons and Armor - Take down the terrorists more effectively using 11 new weapons. New camouflage, clothing and gear allow for the ultimate customizations.

* More Vegas - Sin City is back and bigger than before. Explore all new Vegas hot spots and the gritty back streets creating a visual experience that is as challenging as it is breathtaking.”

All of this seems to be pretty similar to the old game. One of the main reasons people liked the first game was because of the fantastic multiplayer experience. I know I will be one of those purchasers with multiplayer on my mind, but since R6-2 will offer 13 new maps and 11 new weapons, it seems like this could have been done through another update or color pack.

Also, judging from the screens we could be in for the same old rollercoaster with a different name. That’s not to say the first one wasn’t a masterpiece, but they could have spiced things up a bit for the sequel.

Keep in mind this game was only announced a month ago, so there could be major changes to what we know in the coming months. We are expecting big things from the latest sequel in this high caliber series, and we hope that it doesn’t let us down.
