Just finished Vegas and I gotta say mixed bag.  The game is very cheap.  People complained about Doom 3's monster closets, well this game has terrorist closets.  Save points are extrmely spread out.  You'll finish a huge fight and then on your way to the next fight you'll get shot by some cheap terrorist and have to do it all again.  Enviroments look great but the enemies and hostages look like PS2 models.  Enemy and your team AI is great, too good even, except in certain areas where all of a sudden your team can't shoot anything.  (Arcade Room for example) I guess they wanted these parts to be extra hard.  Every Car in Vegas is a Dodge.... weird, never knew.  And how about adding more than 3 different arcade machines in the arcade room.  Wish I could tell the team where to go on the map like in GRAW.  Overall this game was pretty fun  but kind of frustrating.  I did play on the hardest level so maybe it's partly my fault.

What single player FPS game is really any good any more?  Single player just can't compare to playing against real intelligent humans that aren't scripted and can't cheat like AI can (well people can cheat if they find glitches, but not in the same way that AI can be really cheap in some games).  Online is where it's at in RS:V.  Frankly, if you bought RS:V just for single player, I think you wasted your money.  It's the best online console FPS on the market right now.  But single player? Meh...even Halo's and Gears of War's  single player gets boring fast.

My feelings exactly. The game had it's moments, but at times I just wanted to throw that fracking disc out of the window. For exactly the same reasons you mentioned. Multiplayer is awesome though...

Game doesn't suck, don't get me wrong. Just could have been better, and Gears of War is much better looking and more cohesive. Enemy AI in R6V is wicked good.

I beg to differ. As long as a game has a good setting, intriguing storyline, compelling characters and good gameplay, singleplayer will ALWAYS be better than multiplayer. Always.

And still the game flopped so hard you could feel it all the way to next week. Seriously though, the things you mentioned have been standard fare in many games for the last 5 years.

What the hell are you talking about??? R6V is simply on of the best FPS out there and it's definetly the best in series yet. And multiplayer is a blast if you know what to do and how to play.

Yeah I don't know, some terrorist hiding behind a crate until you walk by says "scripted enemy" not great AI. They take cover and flank when theres an obvious flanking path, but really devs could do much better. Or they should anyway

Don't make your decision based on the single player, the multiplayer is what makes this game worth $60, you will play for a long time trust me.

I really liked the SP (played it on normal and realistic) - I thought it was one of the better SP experiences I've had for FPS (toss up between this and COD2 on veteran)

i personally thought that the single player in vegas is better than prety much any game ive played so far, the enviroments look great,realistic charecter animations,awsome AI,compeling story,and an all around great presentation. most of the time i get a game for its single player then go to the multiplayer. with vegas it was a win win choice, fantastic single player, and a great multiplayer.
