Woot, just got rsv2. But i die a lot and i'm only at the start. I'm on normal mode. So which brings me to ask, should I use heavy body armour or light? I think i may need more bullet stopping power.

Thoughts please.

Honestly, the type of armor doesn't really change anything. Just make sure to take cover a lot.

I don't use armor online, but in single player there is really no reason not to use it.

you're probably just used to running & gunning. vegas is very tactical, make sure to take cover every chance you get. if there's a corner, take cover and look around it before going around. snake cam the doors, all that.

At the most, heavy armor will probably take one or two extra bullets than if you had no armor on at all. Other than that it's just for aesthetics as well as to slow you down.

I found R6V original to be a lot more challenging. Enemies were way more aggressive and smarter. And the lack of the sprint function didnt provide for much mobility when trying to evade enemy fire at slow motion. I found R6V2 to be a lot easier to maneuver, just because of the sprint ability alone. I was able to control the game and play at my own pace, making it a lot easier to go up against oncoming enemies. I found Normal on R6V2 to be really easy, and Realistic felt more like "normal." The key thing is to be patient. Cover more ground by separating from your troops. Have them bust through one door while you rappel down or make way through another path. This catches the enemy off guard and you will get more done, without repeatedly dying. But I wouldnt worry about R6V2 as much as I did in part one. Fairly easy game.

People feel this way because of the first Vegas. Theres no learning curve in Vegas 2 because you learned everything from the first one. Which makes the game easier. Its not that the game itself is any easier. Its just the same as the first one, and youve already learned it all. Its the same reason people that beat CoD2 on veteran feel like CoD4 on veteran wasnt as hard.

It is a very tatical game so running a gunning really is not a choice of winning. Its more about slow and patience that will get you through. So big advice I could give you is to keep in cover and just out play the opponents. It takes time to get used to but you will soon enough get the upper advantage.

I dont use armor. It slows you down too much IMO. Just assault shirt and cargo pants
