Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 gameplay video looks familiar

Yeah.

Man, this is not what I was expecting. :s

The graphics look a lot better, but then that wasn't hard to improve over the first Vegas. They also look way too clean, may be just the level, though the characters suffer from it as well looks like.

WTF did they do to the gameplay though? It's like they made this game with just one thing in mind: "moar Haloz!". Is the cover mechanic really gone completely? Seems like it's just run and gun, spray and pray. If it's gonna play the way it looks then count me out.

Also, that level design looked like it plays like ass. There's nothing more enjoyable than having gaping holes in the ceiling right at the bomb placement location in addition to having like 4 entrances on your own level. Fuck this makes me so angry.

This game just changed from a "definatly maybe" to a "euhm let's wait for a demo" buy.

Wow, for game developers, they REALLY suck at playing their own game. Good god, they would get smoked if they beta'd this online! Also, like everyone else, I think the graphics are ugly. It reminds me of HL2 when it first came out.

Yeah, if they removed the cover system they have basically ruined this game. R6 Vegas had the best cover system in my opinion, the trigger control for made it so easy to use. And it was what made the game special. Now this one is just a rip off of CoD. I really hope they still have cover and just weren't using it.

I never played Vegas , mostly because it looked like one of those games that require you to play online to get some juice out of it but people said it had the best cover mechanics (something that was really cool in G.O.W ) in gaming history. Combine that with COD4 limited ammo and character customization and the result should be a very interesting multiplayer experience or one of the most frustrating experiences ever.

I have to say that I hope that’s the worst map in the game because I don’t like it one bit. The wall climbing looks like a good way to get killed.

Hopefully having 6 magazines (1 loaded + 5 pocketed) doesn't make the final game...

Rainbow Six Vegas had infinite ammo in practice, if you died alot and kept the same gun, or most people had the same gun you would walk around and within 30 seconds have 20+ clips.
This became very irritating when you had campers as they would never run out of Ammo. If you played Calypso Casino Attack and Defend, a common thing would be for the defenders to gather 30+ clips, head to the heli-pad after 3 mins, and then just spray anyone on defense that tried to climb the heli-pad. You couldn't even wait for them to run out of ammo, and even if they did the pistol has infinite ammo, so they would use the glock with extra large mag which was the same as having 2 sub-machine guns.

Then they would find the point which meant instant death half-way up the staircase, but un-reachable to frags or sniper bullets.

I actually liked the look, it'd be better if they made it more cartoony though. Maybe add different classes, make the interface more big and cartoonish. Would be intersexing.

intersexing?


(Tiptup300 the game you just described is Team fortress 2 and I couldn’t agree more).

I would assume Unreal 3 as Vegas used that, although it was such an early version many called it Unreal 2.5 but I don't see why.

CoD4 wasn't the first game to use LT for down barrel aiming, in fact even CoD2 which had it wasn't the first.

I don't know which game was, but I am sure Timesplitters on the PS2 used the R1, if not some other PS2 games I played did.

Yeah, that must be the inspiration they took from COD4. Seriously I think I'm the only person who actually scopes in when they fire. Anyway I'm upset this game doesn't look prettier, that was my major issue with the first. That and the cover system seemed akward and tacked on. Sure some of you may think it was good, but it wasn't fluid. Didn't seem to blend in seemlessly.

I loved the cover system in RB6. It's the only one I've ever liked in a game. I didn't like the GoW system because sometimes you'd get sucked into walls you didn't want to cling on. And, sometimes you'd get stuck on the wall.

Yeah I understand the frustration with the Gears of War cover system but honestly it felt like they decided it would be included from the start of development. It felt natural fluid and as long as you meant to take cover it was predictable whereas Vegas' cover system felt tacked on.
Sure you wouldn't snap to surfaces randomly, but sometimes when you peaked around a corner your entire body would swing out, leaving you confused, vulnerable and disoriented. Not only that but occasionally when one took cover the game would glitch and the character would appear to be floating in a black void filled with purple lights in the distance while also spinning your character/camera and disorienting the player. It just seemed so tacked on is all, like an afterthought. The opening and breaching of doors was a neat aspect of cover though, plus they managed to make it work in a FPS without feeling to odd and the transition from first to third person was smooth. Then there was the aspect of slow moving gameplay, taking cover slowed your advancement tremendously. The act of moving in and out of cover was a bit too slow, and only proved effective when holding a specific location and not safe passage up a field or area.

Finally there is the disappointment of zooming out into first person and realizing that your amazingly awesome character in the outfitting section has been reduced to a skinny gangly, tiny headed, hunchbacked freak of nature.

Notice how you got voted down there? It was well deserved.

Console shooters look like crud, both graphically and gameplay wise. But people who only own consoles wouldn't know any better, that is their shame.
