Rainbow Six: Vegas hops on the free  map pack train photo

Has it been a while since you dusted off that Xbox 360 version of Rainbow Six: Vegas? Well it's time to get back in the swing of things -- Tom Clancy style. According to the latest blog entry of Major Nelson, Ubisoft wants to apologize over the mix-up on Tuesday involving the downloadable black pack, and is here to win you back with virtual roses of the gaming variety:  

Ubi has send me the official word on the RSV Black Pack (which went MIA earlier this week) and it is good news:

‘Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas Black Pack Downloadable Content for Xbox 360 Live was originally intended to be free content for the fans of Rainbow Six Vegas. We apologize for the error. All players who purchased the Black Pack will be reimbursed automatically. The Black Pack will be posted Saturday June 30th and will be free of charge. Also, as a token of our appreciation for the Rainbow Six community, we are making the Red Pack free as of Friday July 6th as well. Thanks for playing and we hope you enjoy this free content.’

Major Nelson is quite the purveyor of map pack goodness these days, if I say so myself. First we're treated to the control and conquer all map pack for F.E.A.R, and now this? It's time to cross our fingers, and hope that the whole downloadable charity business continues this nice trend -- minus the boo-boos, of course.

should have held off on the red pack, bought it like three weeks ago. sigh. Vegas is awesome, if you never bought it it is by far the best multiplayer on the system right now, especially with both packs for free. It is better than graw and gears. a lot like goldeneye in spirit

The game is a treat, for sure. You should be getting a nice refund on the map pack purchase, if you can hold off for 6-8 weeks -- which is like eternity in videogame time.

I think R6Vegas has the best multiplayer experience of any 360 game so far. What makes Gears so good is the fact that EVERYONE has it, but it doesn't beat R6Vegas. Tazar and I downloaded these maps yesterday. Who wants to play?

*wishes he hadn't traded it in* I dunno, the multiplayer experience wore thin for me.

They're making them free cause the PS3 version will include both for free. That's all.
