    Think I'll hold off for the update to be released :/

    Or else the pc version. I was hoping it would be good.

    Yes it does - and they've improved how your imported face works with masks,
    caps, hats, etc.
    I think I looked a lot better in the first one, or at least a lot more like the real me.

    You'll just have to unlock the balaclava, ballistic goggles and boonie hat:)

    I'm really enjoying this on online co-op.

    THe ranking system is alot better than last time round. The game seems to have gotten a bit tougher and the predictability of the first game A.I. has definitely changed.

    I'm not playing this online again until they fix the lag, it's ridiculous.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,422 ✭✭✭RAIN


    The Game is great but the lag and general unfogivable nature of the online is breaking my heart. I shot a guy twice with my shotgun only to have him turn a ound and kill me ! Same game i shot a guy in the legs and hes dead instantly !!!! Single player is great on co op. Takes a long time to get out of the COD mindset .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,147 ✭✭✭ironictoaster


    I can never get in a game, useless.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 134 ✭✭conjamuk


    Its only 35.18 EUR on play aisa

    Had trouble getting into ranked matches yesterday and when i did it was ruined by campers so just quit.

    Most games when launched go through a period of issues with XBL

    got it friday, cant get in any games at all and the one I did get in was so slow. needless to say popped back in cod4 and played that which is such a superb game


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,422 ✭✭✭RAIN


    Iv been putting in the hours with this game over the last 48 hrs and i gota say its unreal. After friday id say i ran into Lag twice. Thats with my crappy eircom 2MB connection, Terrorist hunt with 4 players on the Villa level is the effin business !The Aces System is more adictive then the actual RB6 Achievments !! The learning curve is seriously steep if you havent played it in a while but its so worth it once you get your mojo back .


  • Registered Users Posts: 10 VaXXoR


    I've only really played the co-op story mode because all the matches I attempted were lagging horribley but this was day's ago. I have 6MB connection and am going to get back to playing in my spare time. All together it's a great game.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Arts Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 16,647 CMod ✭✭✭✭faceman


    Ive only seen about 2 laggy games since i got this. Although i had trouble joining ranked matches on friday

    What is your upload speed though?

    Standard 256/512 crappy upload in Ireland maybe causing the problems Irish users experience online.

    I have IBB Breeze Fixed Wireless 2Mb up/down and most online is fine for me. I've not bought this game online yet. My BB is acting up at the moment too so I wouldn't be able to fix try it even if I had the game :mad:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 111 ✭✭Dirty Dave


    Played about 12 hours online myself and haven't had any problems with lag - using a 2 meg NTL connection.

    Its really easy to see the people in COD 4 mode! :D Charging around, getting shot! I've even had one or two people try to knife me! :eek:

    Class game - best and most realistic tactical shooter around.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,905 ✭✭✭bucks73


    Have to agree...I am preferring it to COD4 at the moment.

    Yeah and those guys trying to knife you are hilarious. :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9 Ricky Roma


    Vegas and COD4 , both quality games but VERY different gameplay


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,137 ✭✭✭✭TheDoc


    does anyone else get this problem

    when the game loads up terrorist hunt or single player, any game type, the graphics are gone? you have like the basic blank grey models for a few seconds?

    this was a constant problem in rainbow 1, youd think they woulda ucking fixed it

    good game really enjoying it, wanna get well cracked in tonight though

    was never big into online rainbow, registry always seemed lame and crap

    might give it a bash


    game still has online annoying tendencies, when playing with friendsl graphics look less then up to scratch

    and the movement is really mechanical, not flood frames per sec like cod, it seems clunky and chunky, and not very good looking

    pity, gameplay is amazing, but graphichally, with whats out, its a bit behind


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 218 ✭✭Screaming Monkey


    RS 6 Las vegas was definitely my fav of the year, this one is grand, but it could of being better, it feels rushed, the bar was definitely raised by COD4
    The graphics aren't as good, there are a few bugs in the single player mode and it isn't hard enough on realistic, although i was flanked once or twice which was quiet clever and the ability to run and cover feels like GOW..but the controls seem awkward compared to cod4, they still have grenade as 'B', which is a pain when you use the snake cam a lot, you can't quick weapon switch when you run out of ammo on your primary weapon either, if your in mid reload your gone

    as for online its grand, the usual lag...although being sniped from halfway across the map by a guy with a desert eagle doesn't seem all that realistic, so it will need an update to iron out all the glitches and bug/features

    This is what has ruined this game - I'm gonna complete the single player and trade it in for something else. "Most disappointing game of the year":(

    Single player offline can be very slow - frame-rate issues when there's a lot of action going on and graphics ain't that hot.

    Eh? I'm not up the lingo! what's that mean exactly?

    If that's the case then why bother even finishing it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,651 ✭✭✭Captain Slow IRL


    Because the single player is ok - it's when I go online, have trouble connecting and then have to put up with @ss-holes camping and spawn-camping, it puts me off.

    COD4 is the only game for me til GTA4 hits the shelves!

    Camping - staying in the one spot with your gun trained in a particular area and just shooting whoever walks in front of you.

    Spawn-camping - making your way to where the opposition spawn after they die, and go on a rampage.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,330 ✭✭✭Gran Hermano


    you can't quick weapon switch when you run out of ammo on your primary weapon either, if your in mid reload your gone

    Tapping 'Left Bumper' will cancel reloading - handy if you're caught short
    whilst reloading a partially empty mag.

    In Fairness Camping is kind of a Rainbow Six Standard its not a game where you can run an gun. Spawn Camping on the other hand should be punishable by death.

    Whats everyones set up? what Armor are ye using and guns? Im Partial to the Spas Shotgun and Desert Eagle for the smaller Maps! I also have loads of armour on my mobility is one bar ! I think its the Anaconda armour. I goda say im not one bit dissapointed in this game.Majority of people i speak with on xbl say the same.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,137 ✭✭✭✭TheDoc


    well have to say after last nights play my view has changed of this game

    played a co-op online and it was immense, odd lag and frame issues, but it was so much fun.

    Still leaves me wanting online i dont like it really online.

    its a good game worth the purchase, but like its been said cod4 has raised the bar

    im using the m4 assault rifle with acog scope, raging bull and ump with red dot.

    light recon body armour colour black

    long sleeve shirt navy with navy pants

    sunglasses and backwards baseball cap navy

    basically i msetup as swat


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,149 ✭✭✭BFassassin


    I played it for a bit for the first time last night. The couple of games I played online were either unbalanced teams or spawncamping. Im going to play the co-op story mode and hopefully that will be better fun.
