According to the press release, Rainbow Six Vegas 2 will be "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". Further enticing fans of the series, Ubisoft goes on to state that "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".
The multiplayer mode will include 13 new maps, two new adversarial modes, additional rewards, and simpler access to online gametypes using the new and more robust matchmaking system. According to Ubisoft, gamers will be able to use the same player identity in both campaign and online modes. Rewards gained in single-player will also be able to be used in multiplayer, and vice-versa.
Rainbow Six Vegas 2 will also feature an improved co-op mode. A friend will be able to jump into the game at any point, with "player maps and storyline [having been] created with co-op in mind, meaning every map has multiple entry points and the story is unaffected". Enemy AI has also been beefed up with tangos now having access to the same gear as players, such as thermal vision, night vision and shields. However, you will be able to counteract these new enemies by taking advantage of intelligence opportunities, such as thermal scanning. Finally, the game will include 11 new weapons, as well new environments, clothing, gear and camouflage.
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2 is currently scheduled for release in March 2008 on PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
