Tom Pancy: Rainbow 70s: Vegas mania

GRAW for PC just overall sucked from 360 version in Singleplayer, dunno about MP.
So i dunno if thats true for Vegas. There are some engine tweeks and it has some better lighting effects.
But overall Vegas is different game with not much story in it.

But yeah I would agree that Ubi is taking a thing or 2 from EA's book and I hope it dose not continue.

I got Vegas for 360. It was kinda fun, but just think GRAW 360 in Vegas with a bit of easy to access squadplay with the simultaneous breach + clear a room from different angles thing. Ultimately the PC version will feel very toned down in the tactical department, but it's a fun 360 game once you've got bored of Gears of War.

I got the camera too, where you can paste your picture onto a generic head shape. It's cool, but now I look bald with my spiky hair squashed onto a flat head! :P

Like all the R6 console games this is probably fun to play but it's just not R6 tactical game

what a review
i played R6, urban operation,rouge spear 5-6 yr ago and like swat more than R6

you know the game has voice recognition? Got pissed at the AI and screamed MOVE, and it worked :P

SM 3.0 ONLY!?!?
Wow and i still have 1.5 or something.
I will get it on 360 then

my PC was too slow to even handle raven shield properly! cry for me!!

though it was great for what i could do...with the lagging..il probably play it when i upgrade my PC...maybe old but oldies are best....I.E. DIABLO 2 anywhoooo.... cry for me

Been with RAINBOW(+ Eagle Watch, Urban Crisis, BrokenWing) since day one, spent hundreds of hours Planning & Playing

Those were the days ... Then it got better

Rogue Spear(+ Covert Ops, Urban Operations, Black Thorn) came along & many more weeks were spent Planning & Sniping

Just when you thought it could not get any greater, along comes

Ravenshield(+ Athena Sword & countless Mods) the holiest of them all :thumbup:


Then there was Lockdown :bangin: i'm not wasting my time on that piece of :pooh:

& on to Vegas which i thought i'd hate after seeing Locococodown but even w/o the planning or the realism.. i enjoyed Vegas (PC) (one gripe is the way most of the game Dev's are shortening/chopping up games so they can make more profit, but not dropping the price to reflect the hours of gameplay you miss out on.... it's like buying a new car & having to pay extra for the engine then trying to drive off only to find out you have no wheels :Oo: )

Of course there was the Awesome GhostRecon which took the best elements from the first two Rainbow titles, mixed it up with some stunning new developments & gave you large outdoor environments to pick the enemy off on.

Please put the Planning back into the Rainbow titles + the one shot one kill enemy with hawk eyes.

Bravo GO GO GO ;)

Before my upgrade i played Vegas on my pc with specs of
xp2800+
1 gig ddr 400 dc
120gig sata
6600gt

I turned a few things down but fully enjoyed playing it (framerate was great & it look twice as good as Ravenshield)
couldn't even get GRAW to run on that PC, but Vegas was a charm ;)

Now i've got
Asus x-hair mobo
AM2 64x2 4600+
2 gig 800 DC
Sparkle 7900GS factory OC
2x 250GB Seagate 7200.10 SATA2 16meg (RD)
X-Fi Platinum

& i don't know if i like Vegas as much with the new pute, seem like now when i run ingame, it goes a little too fast

honestly the best in the series was rough spear. RvS was fun but they kinda bumbed down alot and it was buggy as hell. who doesn't remember the ledders that had crazy glue aplied to them and got you stuck there for the rest of the round unless someone got ya. RvS AS had that funny multiplayer part where you had to cuff the enemy. But still Rough Spear marked the highpoint of tactical shooter. i remember spending hours on end just making the perfect plan and just lean back watching my babes executing it. like 2 hours planing for a 15 minute mission...those where the times ladies.
