Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 - first details

Dec 20, 2007

Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 is your chance "to rescue America's sexiest city from an escalating terrorist siege that will impose heart-pounding action from beginning to end". Accompanying the first details are newscreenshotsand ateaser trailer.

That's what Ubisoft has told us in first details on the sequel, adding that the game "will push the top-selling franchise to new heights with new gameplay features and groundbreaking co-op and multiplayer modes."

Sin City itself has been expanded for Vegas 2, as has the weapon roster available to players with 11 new guns to splatter terrorists with. Team Rainbow's gone shopping in the high street too and bought itself new camouflage, clothing and gear "for the ultimate customizations".

On the multiplayer side, one of the biggest new features is the addition of 'jump in' to co-op. What this means, if you haven't already guessed, is that your mate can jump into your single-player game at any moment and turn it into co-op.
