Release day today!!
Anyone got theirs yet? Waiting for mine to be delivered, have been looking forward to this game for ages!!
 
Is that the one were you can take pictures of yourself and use them as the character's face? I don't dare to imagine how far that technique will be taken - or how adventurous people will get with it.

I watched a short clip of that the other day - looked pretty cool.

As for the actual games, I haven't even played one. Are they similar or even better than the SWAT series?
 
Got my copy yesterday and I love it, I find it much better online than I do GoW though I'm yet to try the sp mode.
Kind of like rvs was a few years back on the pc minus the botters and hacks ;)
 
While i like the demos and will be buying this on the way home there is NO WAY it can be compared to RvS on th PC.

I just hope the full game has better servers than the MP demo, i got sick of people banning you for killing them or "camping" on a attack and defend map.

How so? Seeing the other game modes available on it last night really did remind me of good old rvs. Having said that this is the first clancey/rb6 game I've played since then.
 
Health regen, Blind firing from cover, the 3rd person thing, "show me the bad guy" vision modes, No mission pre planning.

Dont get me wrong as i said I like the demos and im buying it, its still better than Lockdown but its really not a tact shooter where a well place bullet kills, In fact from what ive read even a Head shot wont 1 shot kill.
 
Just finished playing the Rainbow 6 Vegas Multiplayer demo with a mate, damn it was great. Going in covering each other etc. and customizing everything makes the game so much better than CS and other FPS shooters ( I reckon anyway :D )

True, I see what you mean - I just meant it had that rvs feeling :) It's not so tactical just like you say but I'm sure you'll still enjoy it, I know I am!
 
Been playing this since yesterday. Great game! It's hard at first coming from GOW controls as you keep pressing A to cover. :p

Most headshots are instant kill (even with the pistols) or at least they are for me on the demo.

I think what the developers have tried to do with vegas is 1) make it tactical but also 2) make it easy to pick up and play and get into.

The controls are all logical and very well placed and the whole feel of the game is excellent.

The graphics judging from some of the high res videos I have seen (not basing it on the demos) are fantastic and the gameplay seems to be spot on.

I will agree its dissapointing that there isn't any pre planning stuff ( or is there in the full game?!) but the game is still tactical.

Also for some reason I am loving playing the MP demo atm on coop terrorist hunt and seeing how many kills I can get with just the pistol on realistic.
 
I agree but i still hold RvS on the PC as the best FPS i ever played, frankly I'd sell my first born for the same game play with updated engine and cheat protection that works.
 
Anyone notice some weird controls when wall hugging / covering? Sometimes you have to press the opposite direction to move forwards etc. Seems rather strange to me!

What is RvS?! I have played most of the rainbows form the pc (and still have the original and the addon) but I have never heard of RvS before?

You're missing out lol, Ravenshield is still a fantastic game. So much so that I have two copies for the PC (original & collectors ed.) and the xbox1 version :o Spent miles too much time playing that game. PC Online was not as fun due to hackers (as someone posted above) but was fantastic single player & on a LAN. The xbox version over live playing co-op was the best thing ever!
You should be able to pick up PC/xbox version for a couple of quid from a second hand game store. The xbox version works on the 360 too :D

oooooooo ravenshield! I know what you mean now! (played it and its excellent)

Just didn't know what RvS was lol.
 
WOOOOO I have vegas now lol.

Just been playing through the single player a bit and also online. Seems far better than the single player demo at least. No slowdown and the graphics are excellent. (they certainly get watered down for the multiplayer though).

Gameplay wise nothing has changed since the demos which is quite frankly brilliant as it was spot on anyway.

I like the fact that you can attempt the terrorist hunt missions by yourself. Some are suicidal by yourself on realistic difficulty though.

Overall fantastic game. Will probably see a few of you online!

:)

Oh and if you see me online I will be called THC OweO although my GT is just OweO.

Nice to hear, but does it have any of the magic that was in RvS? Looking at the screenshots and of the demo that I played it was good but it certainly was no RvS. Which is a shame considering Ubisoft stated that they were going to make a realistic game and go back to their roots. :(
