I am looking for a good tactical shooter on ps3.

I have done some research and found the ones available is TOM CLANCY'S RAINBOW SIX VEGAS 1 &2 and Ghost recon advance war 2. These games have been out for a while and I want to knw if there are still a good online community for those games.

Any other suggestions?

Well, I played Rainbow Six Vegas 1 online and it is complete trash. So much lag and bugs, none of which Ubisoft patched so I wouldn't get that no matter how cheap it is. On the other hand, R6V 2 is much better and has a CoD like ranking system with XP and unlockable stuff not to mention little but great refinements here and there, it was good. As for GRAW 2, I would imagine that like R6V 1 it is dead online, since it was a crappy port released very early on. Anyways, I would recommend Socom: Confrontation over those. The game had major issues but for the most part everything has been ironed. There is still some bugs here and there but no lag or broken stats like there was. The developers have been patching the hell out of it and another major update with tons of stuff is coming soon. Socom is the most competitive game out there, that I assure you. Everyone uses mics, works as a team, there are no respawns, only team objectives (no deathmatch/lone wolves modes), and if you suck...be prepared to get either verbally trashed and/or voted out. It is VERY, VERY hardcore, but that is what makes it fun, it is just so competitive and intense. It has 7 maps and 7 modes, there are trophies/awards, and character/weapon customization, along with clan specific items/weapons/gear. Graphics are solid even if it does have some annoying texture pop-in on the menus, and some visible seams, but it is still better than the other 3 games. The only thing that pisses me off is that menu's lag, it grates on my nerves...every time you press something, it turns into a slideshow and starts stuttering.

vegas 2 is great, its a bit more run and gun then the old rainbow six games, but i like the change. graw 2 is a bit more slower paced and definitely more tactical, i'd recommend both as there fairly cheap to pick up.

GRAW 2 is great for single player and split-screen, nobody plays online though. If your looking for amultiplayer tacticle shooter get SOCOM: Confrontation.

Yup go with socom, and yes you can use any BT headset with the ps3. But to be honest with you, I do prefer the sony one over any other.

Yeah, but some places may still have the Socom pack with the official mic. I still see it around actually.

yeh just checked the price of the game with the headset bundle. Price of the bundle with official sony headset isnt bad, cheaper than buyin it separately if you consider all the postage as well.
