Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 - Dev Diary #2

RB6: Vegas ended with a pretty big cliffhanger, not as bad as Halo 2 but a cliffhanger non the less. This "diary" goes in to some details about the multiplayer aspects of Vegas 2. From jump-in jump-out co-op, to Terrorist Hunt, and good old multiplayer. They go on to talk about there 'revamped' matchmaking system, it looks just like the old one if you ask me. All I gotta say is: there better be a party system so I can play ranked games with my friends, or it's straight back to Halo Ubisoft!

RB6: Vegas - Player Pack: Red Edition.

Here's some new info about the upcoming downloadable content from Ubi for RB6: strait from Joystiq:

...Of the two new gameplay modes, Assassination sounds like it could provide for some tense moments. One team must protect and escort a fragile and likely paranoid VIP to an extraction point, while the opposing team attempts to make said very important person a very dead one instead.

Total Conquest, on the other hand, is closer to King of the Hill, except with royalty being ordained by three seperate radar installations. As for the added multiplayer maps, two are altered versions of existing levels, namely Border Town and Killhouse, and three are brand new. These include "Doscala Restaurant," "Marshalling Yard" and the extraordinarily descriptive "Roof," which is actually a coffee factory crawling with terrorists...

This is said to be coming before the end of March, and I'm betting on it costing 800 MS points. Nothing here excites me that much other than some new levels, and I would like to know what "altered" means... Oh and this is a 360 exclusive, so if you're getting the PS3 version in March don't expect any extras...

Rainbow Six: Vegas - Yours for $50! (£25!)

The Single player experience is incredibly atmospheric, having you on the edge of your seat while you nail an entry into a hostage and terrorist infested room, having tagged all the enemies inside the room for you partners to take down - *fip* *fip* *fip* go the three silenced rifles of you and your team-mates, and down go the terrorists. RB: Vegas is full of those moments. And that goes without the solid, and highly customizable online element, which i have to say, is absolutely-friggin'-fantastic.

"To the point!" i hear you yell at the top of your little lungs, alright...
