Latest addition to the Rainbow Six franchise. Can be played on the
Xbox 360 and the
PC. The PS3/PSP counterparts are
soon to come as well. Rainbow Six: Vegas, also uses the Gears of
War engine and is online multiplayer capable. The game has zero hackers on the
Xbox 360 Version of Rainbow Six: Vegas due to the
360's ability to prevent things to be edited on the
CD's. The online multiplayer can consist of Attack & Defend, Team Sharpshooter, Team Survival, Retrieval, Sharpshooter, Survival, Co-
Op Terrorist Hunt, and Co-
Op Story Mode. There are large amounts of maps that can be played on all of these multiplayer modes. As of March 2007 there was supposedly a patch to be released that would add 2 new game modes, 3 new maps, and 2 re-lighted maps. This patch has been since delayed.
The game features realistic bullet trajectory, minus the wind factor. A player can also take cover anywhere on the given map with one click of the button, the button must be held in order to remain in cover. A player can also peak out of cover and shoot or throw grenades. The game also features realistic recoil, bullet spread and muzzle
flash. The game contains a vast arsenal of weapons ranging from Submachine Guns, Light Machine Guns, Assault Rifles, Sniper Rifles, Shotguns, The Riot Shield, Pistols, and Gadgets.
There are a number of online ladders that give clans competition. Such websites are Game-Battles, Team Compete, Next Generation Gamers(NxG), or
Sonic Army. Some of the
good clans are Art of
War(clanartofwar.com), Team Compete, Young Gunz, M Y T H, Type
Z, FYA, DBZ, THR, CMB, XBLB, and D V 8.
