The Great Rainbow 6: Vegas 2 (PC) Revival Movement '11

As I have yet to get to this week's podcast, I had no idea revivals were a thing but I'm tossing this out there regardless.

Let's be honest, in many, many ways, V2 is inferior to the first game. But I think the multiplayer was better and these two games still have the best cover system I have ever used.

So let's try to get this going again.

I'll get a steam group going, let me know who amongst you is interested in shooting some tangos/ each other.

$10 at Direct 2 Drive if you don't have it. Also on steam for $10

I'd love to play this again but I only own it on the 360 and yeah, even $10 is a bit rich right now. I'm up for a 360 terrorist hunt though.

Taidaan and I were playing this a few weeks back. I'm in, friend me up.

I put more time into this game than I probably should have, but I always had fun regardless. Count me in for some Vegas action.

This game is partially great. I like my hat.

I bought this this during the steam sale last Christmas. I would be for some multiplayer but I am a total noob at this game. Best time for me is probably weekend afternoons.

I'm interested. I still have a major soft spot for that game.

I originally played on the 360, but.. eh, 10 bucks. Why not. Even if I only play it for ten hours total it's still a better use of money than seeing a movie

I'll play if I already own the game on Steam.

There's a good chance that I do. There's a lot of unaccounted-for sh*t in my Steam account.

I like rainbows, so I am very interested in this game.

Aaaaaaaannnnnd I should have looked on steam. Also $10 and far easier because you don't need to update it.

Team Blue Hat GO!

I'm in.

IN!

Me and a friend just played the co-op campaign together for the first time about a month or so ago, so it's still kinda like a new game to me.

I own this game and have never played it.....

I haven't played 2 yet, just the first one (I'm about half-way through). I do have it Vegas 2 on disc though uh somewhere.. anyway I'd be interested in playing sometime.

I'm not going to let you get away with that!

I played Vegas 2 game before I played Vegas and I much prefer the second game. I've played through V2's campaign at least 6 times (probably more) and when I finally picked up V1 I was disappointed. It just doesn't play as well, I found the level design to be much worse and you can't even sprint! Or play as a woman!

Trying to trace back to its release I can see why it was disappointing as it wasn't much more than a mission pack that they had a very short turnaround time on but the game's release context doesn't matter to me when I get the game for cheap later on. I still go back to V2 all the time but I uninstalled V1 as soon as I was done with it, to be honest I didn't even like it.

The field of view in Vegas 2 (and 1?) is frighteningly narrow though. Every time I start a new game I'm shocked because when you first spawn on that snowy platform it looks like you're looking down binoculars and then you realize you aren't and you can't even see the ground 10 ft in front of you when your crosshair is level. Teerrrible

Also, it's 20€ here in Europe, hmm..

Weird, I was just thinking about this game earlier.

I'll hunt terrorists on the 360. I played through the co-op story with a friend before his 360-owning roommate left, and the game's been gathering dust on the shelf since then. Would be fun to bust out my creepy-faced counter-terrorist again.

Ok, everyone who said they were interested in playing on the PC got an invite.

I'm still kind of new, should you 360 players be in the steam group for coordinating? Let me know.

Same here I loved this game even though I sucked at the MP portion on xbox would still love to give it a go on the PC. Count me in i'll download it and get it set up this weekend.

I see people playing tonight, but I can't. I thought it might finish in time to play at a reasonable hour, but it isn't going to. I started it around noonish and it's at 88%. Bandwidth on my net connection is pathetic

That's cool, J...you're not the only one having trouble getting it DLed quickly. We'll grab you next time.

I won't be available until I get my new hard drive. My gaming computer is caput until I can get that hard drive and rebuild it, which looks like Tuesday at the earliest. Plus, looks like I'm working afternoons all next week. Ugh.

I'll play this... i had v2 on 360 but will pick it up for the pc

FYI my tag in the game is Rantyr...

Message/friend me on steam (baladec). I haven't gotten my R6 on in a very long time. I have both Vegas games, so I'm up for pretty much anything.

GGs yesterday. Should we pick a night a week to get together?

That works best for me. Not Thursday, please.

No fear of that. I skipped BF all last week, I don't want that happening again.

I was thinking more like Tuesdays.

Yep. A few of the same maps, but at night. Also a new casino SWAT raid from the roof down. Might be good Att/Def.

I'm good with whatever night...it'll just depend on the week.

I'm in!
