News - Rainbow Six Vegas 2 Community Map Pack Trailer and Details

Written by Marco Fiori

Friday, 27 June 2008

In the latest update to hit Rainbow Six Vegas 2, Ubisoft have attempted to reward its long time fans by means of free downloadable content. The “Fan pack” contains 3 multiplayer maps, a new High Stakes setting and additions to the A.C.E.S system such as new ranks. The maps on offer consist of the return of ‘crowd pleaser’ Calypso Casino, the dark Murdertown and CQB training which is also similarly lacking in light. The High Stakes option brings a greater challenge with no radar, disabled health regeneration and friendly fire which, making for a much more tactical experience.

Dead players will find themselves marked with a skull and terrorist spawning means you’ll never spawn next to a player or where you’ve recently been. When near a grenade players will now be warned by an onscreen icon. Finally is the ability to go beyond the Elite rank.

The pack is currently planned for release in July 2008. Check out the trailer below.

	Egads.... Sure the new "features" seem okay, but lets talk about the actual meat of the new content. Maps. Back by Popular Demand???? Calypso Casino??? WTF? If an old map was necessary, how about one that everyone actually played in all modes. Casino Vault anyone? How about some new maps to rev up the franchise... not some rehashed old ones to let us run around in the dark with guns a' blazin'. How about an obvious step for success....reinstating retrieval for all of the maps in RSV2? Has anyone noticed besides me that the attendance for the Xbox Live online play for RSV2 is only a fraction of the original? It seems that everyone is off playing other games. RSV2 has a tenth of the following as the original. It has the potential to be a great game, but Ubisoft needs to release something to get people excited about RSV2 again, not bore them to tears with a half assed update. Can you say RSV2=franchise killer? I have been waiting in anticipation for months... thinking.. hoping... imagining all the cool new stuff that Ubisoft was going to include in the release of a red or black edition player map pack for RSV2. Here I was thinking Ubisoft was going to blow us away with unbelievable new content when it became available. After watching this trailer for the up and coming add-on release this July, I feel like I just got shot in the balls by a Famas. Talk about lazy. All they did was add new texturing to a mediocre at best (unless all you play is Attack & Defend) RSV1 map and some different lighting aspects for 2 RSV2 maps. Those aren't new maps..... those are poor excuses and the height of laziness for new added content. I am so disappointed I'm speechless. I just might start using my RSV2 disc as a coaster. Note to Ubisoft..... Just because you pour syrup on $**T, doesn't make it pancakes! Make us an update that's actually worth me using my bandwidth. Guest Report

	I feel what they are giving us for now ig great. Cylpso is what RSV2 need. I just wish they would come out with an original attack and defend mode with unlimited deaths. Ubisoft will come out with bigger and better in the future we all just need to be patient. If you want something tell them. Just stop with all the bitching perfection takes time. Guest Report
