I got this game (for PC) as a graduation present yesterday and so far I love it, but im having a couple issues with it.

First off, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to aim down the sights. There is nothing about it in the manual, and I cant find anything about it online. Second, after playing the game for a certain period of time, It freezes and BAM! Blue screen of death. First I went to the official forums to post a thread, but guess what? The forums are down this weekend for maintenence. Big Fin surprise that was....then I head over to tech support to contact someone. But guess what? They dont have weekend hours. Thats just f***tacular. With those two options ruled out, I resorted to looking at the fan sites. However, Agression is pretty much dead and the info is useless, and I cant even register at Rainbow Six retreat.

At this point im at wits end and if i cant find some answers with the official forums and the tech support tomorrow, Im exchanging the damn thing for Frontlines.

Doesn't the middle mouse button/wheel work for you?

Yeah, Vegas 2 wasn't too bad, although COOP play makes almost every game MUCH better :D

I played about half-way through in SP, a friend came over and we continued from my save game and finished the game cooperatively. Now that was total blast!!! We liked it better than Army of Two (PS3) COOP which we were playing the day before --- which was actually fun as well.

IMO though, the game felt very much like the first Vegas and really could have been an expansion pack. In addition, at the time the first Vegas came out, I thought the graphics were quite good. However, in Vegas 2 everything seriously looked mediocre/average for a PC game (although better than the aforementioned Army of Two).

I don't know what to tell you about the BSOD, I didn't encounter any problems from start to finish. Make sure your drivers are all up to date to begin, keep checking the official forums, hopefully they are back up soon ;)

I have the same problem playing Oblivion.. i can't play the game for over 10 minutes without it freezing or blue screening. No matter what patch i try it wont fix the problem. Even updating video card drivers didn't help.

I did find the command for bringing up the sights, and it is indeed the scrool wheel. However when i tried this, I merely switched weapons instead of looking down the sights. Im using an MX518 and i might get a G9 later this week, if that helps

Im going to reinstall the game and hope the BSOD issue goes away. If it doesnt, i'll just contact tech support tomorrow.

Yeah, it switches weapons when you scroll with the wheel. Instead, press the wheel button (press down on the wheel) or did you already do that? I use an MX518 also.
