11/06 Rainbow Six: Vegas

[Furiously]

It's out, does it have herpes?

[schild]

Rainbow Six is UBISoft, in which case, no, it doesn't.

Also, get the 360 version. Ho ho ho.

[Morfiend]

I'm picking up the 360 version. (Cant believe I just wrote that)

Does co-op mode work for the singleplayer campaign like GoW or is it more like co-op multiplayer vs bots?

[Furiously]

I'd have to pick up a 360 to do that, and I like my PC and my wife likes her nice new sony bigscreen. Not going to happen.

So no securerom or evil russian programs?

[Big Gulp]

Also, get the 360 version. Ho ho ho.

No, just no.  I've got to admit that Gears of War has tempted me, especially since I've been playing the new Splinter Cell on the 360 and am starting to feel more competent shooting on a console, but even not sucking as bad as I used to the fact remains that shooting doesn't feel good on a console.  Were Splinter Cell a straight up shooter there's no way I'd have touched it on the 360, but as it is I just endure the shooting parts so I can get to the sneaky goodness.

[Viin]

Waiting for the PC version myself.

Though I might pick up one of those $100 360's at Amazon (or try to, rather) for my little brothers, in which case I might get this game to go with it. But seeing as I won't likely get it, they'll have to deal with getting another basketball.

[Strazos]

So when are those 360s going on sale again?

[Trippy]

The recent HoMM games use SecuROM so it's likely this one will as well.

[Viin]

So when are those 360s going on sale again?

Umm, Friday. No really, that's it - don't listen to anyone else. (really at 11am Pacific tomorrow)

[Strazos]

Ah, so 3 EST? I'll have to give this a shot perhaps.

[NiX]

Nothing like playing on live with a friend co-op.

Friend: Ok, how we going to do this? I'm hanging outside a window. I can pick off a few.
Me: Hrm..
*crashing noise*
Friend: Did you just... (He was watching my theatrics at this point)
Me: Teehee!

He crashes through a window, backs into a corner with me and we both die to an incendiary grenade. I just can't help but jump through glass ceilings. GOD THIS GAME IS SO GOOD.

[Morfiend]

Nix, next time your playing coop and Im online, drop me an invite.

[Strazos]

Here's a question: Since the single-player game supports more than 2 operatives, can you have more than 2 people playing co-op?

[Morfiend]

Up to 4.

[Strazos]

That is some fucking sexy shit.

I thought you were someone else on my friends list. I probably would of invited you earlier today had I not thought you were someone I didn't like. You'll definitely get one tomorrow.

[Moaner]

I'm in love with RS:Vegas.  The single player, coop, and versus all are rock solid.  It almost feels like a beefed up console version of CS, but not quite.

If anyone wants to play on XBL add Happy Hedonist to your friends list and send me an invite.

[Strazos]

I've actually always preferred R6 multiplayer to CS. It's just that counterstrike was free with HL and HL2, while R6 was not.

R6 has always had superior hit mechanics.

Now everyone who has NiX friended is wondering who he doesn't like...

I'm not allowed to buy R6:LV until after Christmas because I made the mistake of putting it on my Xmas list.

[NiX]

Now everyone who has NiX friended is wondering who he doesn't like...

They're not from F13. I do have someone with a name close to Morph's, so I mistook him for the asshat. I have little to do these days aside from make sure my school registration goes well, so if you want to play co-op just add me - Nixel

[Furiously]

The 12th for the PC version right?

[Big Gulp]

Just bought Gears of War and RS:V today, and holy shit are the controls for Vegas better than GoW.  Much more sensible, much less Quake-like.  I've only played the first level of GoW, but I'm already feeling the buyer's remorse.  Vegas is just that much better a game.  I didn't automatically hate the shooting in it, and the cover scheme is much better done.

[Strazos]

Yeah...as much as people have been making of Gears, I personally perfer R6.

I mean...come on, Heat Vision!

Just give it a little time BG. Once you get used to the controls GoW is awesome.

[NiX]

I'll admit GoW is good as a game, but RSV just kills it, in my opinion. I traded in GoW to get RSV and I've already had RSV longer and don't think I'll be trading it in. Ever.

[Moaner]

I agree with Nix here.  After playing the single player campaign and some MP in both GoW and RSV I have to say I'm enjoying RSV much more than I did GoW.  Attack and Defend is all love.

I've been super busy with work the last week and haven't had the chance to sit down and play.  I apologize to those who have sent an invite.  If I see you jerks online this Sunday when I can actually play I'll send out some invites for some Terrorist hunt or coop :)

[Big Gulp]

Okay, new question...  Whose dick do I have to suck to create a custom MP character?  Every choice is lit up but "custom character", which is, of course, unselectable.

That's one thing about console games that fills me with pure hatred.  I already bought your fucking game, assholes.  Let me get at the content without performing like a goddamned seal to get at it.

[NiX]

Did you go into Multiplayer mode? Cause, if you didn't, there won't be a customer character to select.

[Big Gulp]

Did you go into Multiplayer mode? Cause, if you didn't, there won't be a customer character to select.

So I have to play a multiplayer game before I can create my custom character from the options screen?  That's the whole purpose of creating a custom character, to take him online.  If that's how they've set it up, it's really counter-intuitive.

[Morfiend]

Choose Multiplayer, then Xbox Live, and it should prompt you to create a PEC, Persistent Elite Character. Silly name.

[Viin]

Can someone tell me why this game is rated M? Does it just say 'violence' on the box?

[Strazos]

Generally, Head Shots warrant the big M.

[NiX]

No, headshots don't warrant the big M. Blood does and I'm serious. GRAW is T and this is M. Why? GRAW doesn't have blood. When you headshot (or anything that should cause spatter) there's a "flash" type deal. This game? Full blown blood spatter everywhere. And I love it!

[Strazos]

It's not a headshot without the gore.
