R6 old skool fans....

[chuxsta]

any oldskool PC R6 players here?

whats it fair up like against say raven shield?

i played the SP vegas demo and it has a lot of the same feel the R6 games have but there seems to be some thing missing.. cant put my finger on it.

maybe its the console thing rather than on the PC thing.

would love to hear from some oldskool R6 players who have vegas on the 360...

EDIT: also whats the deal with this putting your own pics on your R6 guys using the cam? is it crappy or can you make the faces out? and has any one taken a pic of their franks and beans and put that on for their game face? cause i would go out and buy a cam just to have a huge muff or todger on my R6 dudes face

I have played allt he R6 except Lockdown and I'd say the force is strong in this one. The soul is still there, sneaking round corners and aiming for headshots on enemies above you.
Maybe the Grenades are a little too heavily used online but the SP is as good as the originals. The hours I spent doing R6 Co-op on Lan with friends are insane, the level in the Concert Hall resuing the hostages in R6 (#1) was one of the best gaming experiences ever
Well worth a look mate if you are a fan from day 1

thanks, might pick it up on the way home if thats the case.

i found in the SP demo that the nades and smokes were not very realisitic in the throwing.

and from my Raven shield days the nades were used at the right times but you knew when they were coming it was only bad luck if you got tagged by one.

how does the injury thing work on this one? is it like all console FPSers are at the mo.?
if you get out of fire for a while you go back to full health?

cause one thing i loved about the R6 was the been injured thing so you could only walk slow after been hit a few times.

also is there gradual door opening? that was ace on the pc. just open doors a crack so you could shoot through...
and certain guns could shoot through certain types of doors. so you could kill an entire squad if they were waiting behind a door ready to rush you...

I have played all the Rainbow Six series. Lockdown being the worst *Shudders*. I have yet to get my 360 but when I do, R6:V will be a must buy.

Sadly you will be disapointed on both counts Chuxsta.
Damage causes the screen to get darker and mistier until you find cover then you recover. I loved the old way where you limped round
As for door, it is either opened or closed. You do now have a snake cam though with which you can peer under doors and 'tag' 2 enemies for primary target adn secondary target for the AI squadmates to take out.
Also you can still choose the likes of "Frag and Clear" or "Flash and Clear" etc and the severity depends on what mode they are in, recon or attack resulting in the likes of Frag and clear, Breach and clear, storm or Flash, smoke etc for recon.
It all works really really well mate but I do miss being able to open the doors a crack and peer into room
Oh and as for shooting through doors, I thimk so9me guns do but best of all, shotguns can blow doors completely apart which is great for scaring the begeezus out of enemies on the other side of the door

cool thanks i discovered most of the above after i purchased it on the way home.. i wasnt gonna buy any more games till next year but i thought FUCK it...

im enjoying the SP and will try the MP tonight after a few beers.
my only let down so far has already been covered.
like the door opening control, im not liking the way nades, smoke and flashbangs are thrown not realistic at all. and the gpx are a little washy in places its almost like your player forgot to put his prescription glasses on or put his contact lenses in the wrong eyes.

on the whole its a good console conversion and i can see how the non PC R6 players fromt he past will be creaming over this game.
i think they have done a great job re creating the R6 feeling i have not played for a while.

i do reccomend to all the new people to R6 if they have a PC go get Raven shield and i think the addon was athena sword. its a few years old now but the multiplayer coop and pvp is fucking amazing.. have not played a fps that kept me up for over 24 hours with out sleep since.
