Yesterday I bought Rainbow 6 Vegas 2 for the PS3, hoping it would give my the enjoyment of Call of Duty 4:Modern Warfare.

I started out with the Single player, played it for a couple of hours, which was a good sign already, because the last 2 games I bought have a combined play time of less than an hour, lol. Can’t really compare RB6V2 with COD4:MW as they are quite a bit different. RB6V2 is far more tactical, it has a very cool cover system where you can lean up against walls, boxes etc, and peak round the corners. COD4:MW is all about guns blazing, not so much tactical involved, though some modes can require tactics, all depends on your team I suppose.

I was a little disappointed with some of the graphics in RB6V2, though nothing that really puts me off, just could have done with some finer details in places.

The biggest let down for me; online play (aka multi-player). For the few games I played, it was extremely laggy, slow. It was hard using the cover system due to the lag, and most of my deaths were due to grenades being chucked left, right, and center. Maybe I caught it at a busy time, so I may give it another go after I have finished the single player. Something I did like was the way you can select which map you want to play, if only this was an option in COD4:MW.

Also, for both single and multi-player, is it not possible to cook your grenades? If not, then that is another let down for me

For me it doesn’t come close to COD4, but it does give me some enjoyment compared to Medal of Honour: Airborne, and Unreal Tournament III.

Anyone else got this game? What are your thoughts?
