I do enjoy the mode more than the story mode, but it's still heavily reliant on trigger points and once you learn them it becomes way too easy to exploit them. With all that said I still find TH to be slightly broken. I also like that the menu shows you whether you've already beaten that map as well as the difficulty level beaten. Now you can go through all the levels with your two AI partners, or you can decide to go solo (Lone Wolf). My favorite improvement is how they changed the set-up for Terrorist Hunt. The sound is better and the chatter you overhear from enemies is definitely a step up, but I still can't see this game as anything but a rehash of the original. It seems that every situation really does have so many different ways of accomplishing a specific task, which can lead to a bit more strategy. I did find the architecture and design to be a lot better this time around. It doesn't seem to run as smooth, but it isn't too big an issue for concern it runs fine for the most part. The game looks good, though I can't say whether it looks better or worse than the original, but it's still a solid looking game. I bet I can sum it up pretty easily though you are some badass special op who's job is killing terrorists and defusing bombs/saving hostages! Did I get it, did I win? Yay for more mindless shooters, I guess we can't seem to get enough. I wouldn't know because the story(really?) was crap in the original and I didn't even try to pay attention to what was going on here. Also if you're curious if the game has a good story, or follows the previous game. They make good dogs and this may possibly be the early workings of the Fable 2 dog AI! Other than that the game runs smooth online in co-op and it's definitely more fun with a friend.
I found myself leaving them in some corner and just calling them back when I needed a bomb defused or something similar. Your AI partners will only listen to whoever is hosting the game and they also like to stand in front of you while you're shooting, that is so much fun! I love randomly shooting my mates in the head because they don't seem to understand that the bullets come out of that little barrel attached to the gun.
The co-op does seem to play better this time around, but you are now limited to 2 players instead of 4 and also I found the AI teammates to be a complete nuisance. Now your created character is used in every single mode including the Story mode, which now has drop-in co-op. The single-player campaign has gone through a few changes. With that said I still find the game enjoyable and it is sure to please fans of the original.
Rainbow six vegas 2 online co op update#
It isn't a true sequel, but more like an update to the original taking out certain issues and fixing some problems (though they don't fix everything). I want to hate Rainbow Six Vegas 2, I really do.
