Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 Gift pack is live
D-Nez | 8:17 AM on 07.03.2008 7 comments


Just downloaded the R6V2 Gift pack DLC for 360. Its a little bit under 300Mbs.

The Theatre maps I think is the most interesting addition. While CQB & Mudertown are just re-lit, I think R6V looks better darker. The day time type levels look washed out or something to me, so I prefer the look of the night time or darkly lit indoor levels.

The grenade danger indicator is also a very welcome addition.

I'm a late comer to this franchise. Initially I didn't understand the appeal but now I hope people keep playing this game on Live for a while - maybe even until the next R6.

Well I off to earn ACES

Hmm. I just started replaying CoD4, but don't feel like spending the money for the map pack. Maybe I'll download this and play this again instead. Nice to know it's live, I forgot it was coming out.

B-Rad - I'm in the same boat. I'm not sure i want spend money for the CoD maps at the moment.

Anyway, I think its awesome Ubisoft did this. I wish more developers throw their fans a little something (*free*) once in a while.

No if only Valve sends the Class updates our way life would be groovy.

If anyone's up for terrorist hunt later today or this weekend, drop me an invite

@D-Nez: Exactly. While I enjoy CoD4 and started playing again because I had an undying urge to do so, it's still the same thing it ever was and since I'm not Prestiging (I was going for golden guns instead) there isn't enough tangible reward to continue playing.

Whereas, in R6, no matter what I know I'll continue to rank up and earn clothes and armor and stuff, which is more compelling to me. Problem is... I'm not nearly as good at R6 as I am at CoD4, haha.

Plus, I like the fact Ubisoft is throwing their fans a bone and offering up some content for free.
