I'm pretty sure I've played every XBL game worth playing online and I keep going back to Rainbow Six Vegas. I haven't even touched the game's singleplayer considering how uninspired it is, but the multiplayer brings me back to the days of playing Rogue Spear on GameSpy Arcade. And I'm sure other people would agree with me, considering that even with Halo 3, CoD4, etc. out - There's always atleast ~50 unranked servers going on at one time. The only thing that'll kill this game is Rainbow Six Vegas 2.

And it's no mystery why the online is so good.

- Fun Level-Up and Rank System.

- Completely customizable characters.

- Great Netcode. Nearly no host advantage and everything syncs up well.

- Diverse range of weapons. Lots of weapons to unlock online.

- 2 Free DLC Packs full of new maps, game modes, etc.

- Great Maps. Calypso Casino, LVU Campus, Streets, Killhouse...

Among other things.

Anyone else feel like this too?

RB6 Vegas is 2nd to me only to CoD4. I havent played it in awhile, but its definitely one of the top 2 online experiences.

Yup. I really hope RB6 Vegas 2 is better than CoD4. If they keep improving first person shooters (instead of releasing boring iterations of the same game) we should be able to get some really top notch software like Infinity Ward produces.

Never played Vegas Online but it probably is up there near the top.

I only say that because I played every other R6 game online Like a Madman. Rainbow Six 3 on Xbox on Live was easily the Best MP Game of the Generation.

I play CoD 4 atm, and really like it so im happy right now, But I plan on getting Vegas 2

No one ever highlight the bad thing and that is the abundance in camping and the overuse of grenades in game modes that allow it.

Have a problem with nades? Restrict them.

Have a problem with camping? Use nades.

You can boot campers, or simply call them out. The game is slower paced and tactical. You should be able to do anything you want to win.

That's why it's countered with more than one entry point to a certain area. Camper kills you, go behind him.

I really like the whole customization thing, which is what I like about it more than CoD4. If you could customize the **** you wore on CoD4 it would be amazing.

ugh I HATE R6V online. I've tried to like it, but can't start playing because the game is full of people that are obsessed with it and just own every newbie like myself.

I'm going to stick to CoD 4 and H3...

I love RSV online. It's tied for first with Halo 3 for me.

Attack and Defend on Calypso Casino - No grenades/XM, never gets boring.

I was hooked on RB6V until I realized that 80% of online community consisted of boosters. I think it was at that point where I decided it wasn't fun anymore to be booted out of servers constantly or to find everyone glitching and greiving each and every game on Casino.

Yeah.


Other than that I'd say it was the best XBL game for a short time. Nothing beats CoD4 though.

I'm hoping Battlefield Bad Company will be really good, along with RB6V2.
