If rainbow 6 returned to form with updated graphics and 90's gameply I would buy it in a second. The newer arcady feel to the tom clancy series is fun, but not nearly as cool as before

Only played vegas2 on the pc, never got around to vegas. The definition of suck was redefined in my books that day considering rainbow shield was the rainbow I had played previously. I was really disappointeed that they took out the planning element or having multiple teams. The combat was clearly improved but the guns felt wonky and the cover system was crap in singleplayer and suicide in multi.

I will also agree with this. Splinter Cell Conviction although not a R6 game, really hit the wrong note with me. I hope they keep most of the older gameplay sty.le but somehow make it feel modern? If that makes any sense. This is good news, I guess.

The golden age of R6 I beleive, is well and truly dead. I'd love to be proven otherwise. Consoles just aren't built for it.

So there's not enough pc gamer's ? or ubisoft just can't make a good sequel :)

Hey don,t forget some of us like real game's with real gameplay not this bull!!!! COD :)

Don't get me wrong rainbow has many faults,but the gameplay make's up for it in my opinion

and ubi has had long enough to improve on it and give this game the true status it deserves..

The old Rainbow Six games and the old Ghost Recon games are some of the best ever imo.

Just please make it like the older ones.

this will never ever ever ever ever happen.

but I wish it would :oops:

with that said, I really cannot object to Vegas; whatever depth it lost (and it lost a lot) was replaced with just a whole lot of fun. If they could add a little bit more depth to it, that'd be awesome, like a blend of the old school with the new school.

I also want GRAW 3...those were great games.

The only thing that really ticked me off about Rainbow six Vegas 2 was how in T-hunt mode the AI bots would just randomly spawn close or almost right next to sometimes.

As much as I wish I was wrong and that Ubi (now a failure of a company) would give us real games like Raven Shield and Ghost Recon....whatever this new game that they are coming out with is going to suck and will be marketed to casuals. I hate being right all of the time.

But why, you dont like this gears of war third person cover based gameplay they force on you on a FPS!!! Pff you sir got no tase!! SARCASM/ Seriously, what the hell was that all about? Now i see that future soldier will be third person but it will swtich in first person everytime you wanna aim with your weapon. FACAPALM Decide what the hell you wanna make tom clancy/ubisoft and then make it, not random mixed crap to appeal to everyone.

They will probably pull a Conviction with this new Rainbow Six. I'm still trying to get my head around how they from SC3 (amazing) to Conviction (crap). Of course, RS hasn't been all that great since Lockdown came out, but at least Vegas was a step in the right direction. This, however, is probably going to throw away any semblance of an actual RS game, besides the theme or whatever. I hope I'm wrong, though.

Rainbow Six: Vegas was a decent enough blast, but mostly when playing co-op with my eldest son (we played it on the console). Personally I still think Raven Shield was the best in the series, and I don't think we'll ever get another really tactical game like that from UbiSoft.

The real problem I had with the Vegas games was that it didn't matter how much you planned, scoped out targets, spied on enemies behind doors, and set up pincer movements, because as soon as you entered a room more enemies would suddenly come pouring out of other doors and it descended into a free-for-all. The 'tactics' just mostly fell by the wayside in favour of being a cover shooter. So from my perspective, there was no sense of achievement for 'outsmarting' the enemies - you just got continually ambushed no matter what your tactics.

So in all honesty, if they deliver another game like the Vegas series, I probably won't touch it.

As much as I want this I doubt it will happen considering they will want to cater to as many players possible. And unfortunately there are more people who would rather have an arcade style COD game than a tactical shooter.

Vegas 1 & 2 were not Rainbow Six. Simple as that. Go check out RB6 Rogue Spear. That is the best game of the series.

The good old school Rainbow and Ghost Recon games were tactical and made by Red Storm Entertainment, not crappy ass UBI, who ruined them and turned them into mainstream crap.

No, they were all fun... But the Rainbow 6 Raven shield was my favorite.. (out of the Rainbow 6 games) I kinda like ghost recon (advanced warfighters as well) but would really like to see ghost recon try a new approach...

Vegas were ok I guess, not really all that great in my personal opinion.

The PC and 360 versions were extremely different. Honestly I really enjoyed them both, even if they didn't hold a candle to the tactical shooter density of the first series. However it wasn't nearly as derivative as Rainbow Six Vegas was - even if that wasn't a bad game in its own right.

Like either the above poster said or a poster a bit further up said, there is a massive difference between PC and 360 versions of GRAW. I personally like the 360 version a lot more and that is coming from someone that dislikes 3rd person and loves 1st person (yes the PC is 1st person and 360 is 3rd person). It was like they took every new element added in the 360 version and somehow made it worse for the PC.

Anyway, onto the topic. I did like Vegas (haven't played much of Vegas 2 even though I own it), but I do agree with the thread... it just isn't a Rainbow 6 game. It is a lot more action and spectacle and not much tactical or thought driven game play at all. But with that said I actually don't want to see them return the series to how it was 10+ years ago. I would like to see them try a new and different approach than Vegas or the classics. I love the classics, but why get a game similar to them when we already have them?

Same here, GRAW pc and GRAW consoles were completly difirent. Imo graw on pc was terrible, it was impossible to play, most of the mecahnics were not een there to begin with. GRIN made the pc version which is now dead. The console versions were so much better.
