The most disappointing part of the game for me was the re spawn mechanic mentioned above. There's not too much to add to what Nick says above. What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas? From the sound of things that will be Rainbow Six Vegas 3. Despite a few minor annoyances the cooperative mode is tight and refined, and the ability to import your face to your character makes things even more engaging. It's a minor annoyance, but it just seems kind of silly that the developers put all this effort to make the co-op integrated into the story - and then remove the player from the story with a cheap tactic like that.įans of tactical shooters and action games will enjoy pairing up with their buddy as Bishop (player 1) and Knight (player 2) through the streets of Vegas. If both players die within this time period it's game over. And while you can revive your AI teammates, you can't revive your co-op partner, instead he has a 10 second re spawn timer. One thing I found odd is only the primary player is capable of controlling the AI teammates. Instead of a button to engage it, I'd simply count down and call out targets. In fact, there were times when I found myself working with a teammate doing things that Army of Two built in as a feature for instance the co-op sniping aspect. This game naturally enforces cooperative aspects. You need to make sure all directions are covered, and you'll need to make sure the tangos are dropped quickly. Working with teammates is critical as timing is everything with entering areas. The first Vegas introduced one of the best implementations of a cover system in a shooter to date, simply hold the left trigger to hug cover, while the left analog stick moves you out of cover in the direction you press.

The 4-player co-op is still available in the terrorist hunt missions, which pit your team against a set number of terrorists on a multiplayer map.įor those that have never played a Rainbow Six game, the series is a tactical shooter with tons of guns and some incredibly realistic damage and weapon modelling. Rainbow Six Vegas 2 corrects this by making it a seamless experience, but only allows two players to play through the entire game. While the single player campaign was available in 4-player co-op, you could only do missions individually and then drop back to the menu. One of the biggest complaints with the original Vegas was the lack of a seamless cooperative experience.
