Team Rainbow Returns to Celebrate10th Anniversary of Rainbow Six Franchise in Sin City in 2008
Paris, FRANCE - November 20, 2007 - Today Ubisoft, one of the world's largest video game publishers, announced that it is developing Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six(R) Vegas 2 for next-generation consoles and PC. Developed at Ubisoft Montreal by the same team that created the award-winning Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas, the highly anticipated sequel is scheduled for a March 2008 release. Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2 is the sixth iteration in the wildly successful Rainbow Six franchise which celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2008 with more than 16 million units sold worldwide to date.

"Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas took the gaming world by storm in 2006 thanks to its technological advances and gameplay innovations," said Yves Guillemot, president and chief executive officer at Ubisoft. "We are convinced that Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2 will remain a pioneer in the highly competitive first person shooter genre, bringing more of what Rainbow Six fans love to the table."

The highly anticipated sequel to the winner of numerous awards, including IGN's 2006 Best First Person Shooter and Best Online Game, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2 will push the franchise to new heights by adding new gameplay features and even more stunning visuals. Players will encounter an intense solo campaign that uses new tactical possibilities in various locations around Sin City. As expected with one of the pioneer franchises for online multiplayer Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2 will also break new ground in both co-op and adversarial modes, while providing unprecedented interaction between the solo and multiplayer modes.

I wonder what game engine Ubisoft will be using , is it gonna be UE3 or the same game engine they use for Vegas just with upgraded details like they did with GRAW2

Yeah baby!

Rumors before was Rainbow Six: New York, but now confirmed Rainbow Six: Vegas 2.... nice!

Looks like same engine to me...i think it's more of an expansion besides the name. (same goes to GRAW 2)



Kinda suck to be American special force nowadays. This is what...the 2nd time the terrorist took over Vegas. Again?
SAS FTW.

Hopefully the live vision cam feature is still in and implement properly. Not like the first one where some can see the custom face whilst some cannot.

OMG.

I am sold. R6V baby!

This will be in my WANT list

LOL .. u are back

PJ, Rainbow is technically not a US SF team. Hehe. They're based at Hereford what. It's US initiated, but backing mostly comes from UK.

Oooooo finally can continue where R6V left off.

Hmmm.. wondering where the mission starts again...
Water dam???

...but...but...the team leader - Ding Chavez is a CIA operative! US initiated, US trained...the fact that SAS kick major ass in COD4



Anyway, hoping for a better & seamless coop experience.

ahhh time to sell my R6 hehe

I hope im gonna like this.....

Heh heh heh you forgot kah PJ? Logan's rogue squadmate Gabriel Nowak escaped in the end chapter.

OMG ! episod 1 pon tak main lagi !!

Graphics still just as crap as ever

I played vegas. Man, to me is really the most irritating fps game I ever played. Not looking foward to it though. I still prefer ghost recon more then this.

i rather wait for Battlefield : Bad Company. sorry for OT n dont start to flame me.

Well .. RS is mostly a tatical team shooter, if ur team does not follow order ... then ur team is screwed. Happen to me countless of time b4 .. lol

Not team problem. I'm fine with team. The problem is the button changes is so limited. The most I hate most was the check point. Is freaking far. When you almost there and then you die. ZZZzzz.

U wont die .. if u have a good team which support u all the way

Spoiler from Vegas 1

Ubisoft just announce Tom Clancy Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 that will be out next March 2008. Here's the scoop taken from TeamXbox.

Rainbow Six Vegas 2 - First Details, Teaser and Screens

Ubisoft announced today the first details for Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2. Scheduled for a March 2008 release and developed by Ubisoft's award-winning Montreal studio, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2 is the sixth iteration of the multimillion-selling Rainbow Six tactical shooter franchise and follow-up to the highly successful and award-winning Rainbow Six Vegas. Below is the description provided by Ubisoft:

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2 is the last chance for gamers to rescue America's sexiest city from an escalating terrorist siege that will impose heart-pounding action from beginning to end. The best are back and this time winner takes all. The highly-anticipated sequel to the recipient of numerous awards, including 2006's Best First Person Shooter and Best Online Game, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2 will push the top-selling franchise to new heights with new gameplay features and groundbreaking co-op and multiplayer modes.

Product Highlights:

. More Multiplayer - The highly acclaimed multiplayer mode in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas has been upgraded to include 13 new maps with more intense face-offs, two new adversarial modes, more rewards, and easier access to matches using the improved and intuitive matchmaking system.

. Unprecedented Customizable Experience - Create your own identity that persists through both the single player and multiplayer modes and progresses along with you. Reap the benefits of your single player rewards in multiplayer and vice versa.

. Vastly Improved Co-op Mode - Turn single player mode into co-op mode at any time, just by jumping into the game. Now you and a friend can jump into a single player game and assist without any change to the story. The single player maps and storyline were created with co-op in mind, meaning every map has multiple entry points and the story is unaffected.

. Challenging AI - The AI is more challenging than ever. Now, the terrorists are equipped with thermal vision, night vision, and shields - not to mention a multitude of varying tactics - all of which are guaranteed to give you a new playing experience every time you go into battle. As you progress within the game, you'll be able to outsmart your enemies by taking advantage of intelligence opportunities, such as thermal scanning.

. New Weapons and Armor - Take down the terrorists more effectively using 11 new weapons. New camouflage, clothing and gear allow for the ultimate customizations.

. More Vegas - Sin City is back and bigger than before. Explore all new Vegas hot spots and the gritty back streets creating a visual experience that is as challenging as it is breathtaking.

This post has been edited by GamersFamilia: Mar 7 2008, 05:10 PM

Hmmmmmmm...... Looks like closer to the Europe date.... which is the 20th.....
Dunno about the special edition the keychain looks cool though.....

I pre-ordered the special edition anyway.

Actually, in the novel, isnt it an international team? I remember it had some NATO connections and a US fund backing.

Anyway I actually just got into the first game recently, and while it is enjoyable, I do miss the old school hardcoreness of the original title (sames goes for Ghost Recon)

The teams itself is international. Support staff is mostly from UK with the exception of a few.

time to play pt 1 just so when the pt 2 out wont be that rusty.

RSLV is one of my all time favourite games. I absolutely can't wait for this bugger to be released.

R6V kakis don't bully me ah?
I'm a n00b on R6 series.

Preordered normal changed to LE today, thanks to MK
*challenge completed*

LE FTW!! perhaps the only way ?
Welcome to R6V2 LE Club, Shuvits

Yo zerg if you somehow manage to get the game early, lemme know if you letting go the on you pre-order from GH

gnome, jangan buli plis.

Haha I wont, dont worry

Why you ask? cos Merlin and lord_ashe are the veterans

Trying to get it earlier as possible, my R6V kakis at Singapore stressing me also to get it fast
If letting go sure deliver to you

Don't worry.. let's T-Hunt and rank up and unlock weapons

Dammit....you guys order the LE tak ajak wei...

Alby merajuk again
