The leader (Bishop) gives the orders to the A.I team, the second player (Knight) is free to do what he wants. Is it the games fault the second player cannot be bothered to do anything or listen to his leader? How about using Knight for recon and making multiple point entries on the level? You don't need to use the A.I to do everything. The co-op is all about playing co-op and working together to do things, if a player cannot figure that out, go play singleplayer.

The MLG map you get for pre-ordering. This is a whole other map.
From my speculation, I think it's just an indoor building with a bunch of "Comcastic" signs everywhere.

I tried entering that Comcast Faster-thing and it apparantely worked for me. Didn't bother checking what it was out though.

One part of me wants to buy this game, because I loved the first one so much, but the other part of me doesn't want to support shitty Ubisoft sequels.
DubloSeven said:
What constitutes a sh*tty sequel?
More of the same, of what you liked already?
What about improving on it, even if it's a slight improvement?
Sounds like the game will be as good as the last one, which I really enjoyed. Especially online.
It is what it is, not CoD4.

Well after buying GRAW2, I sort of promised that I'd never buy a Ubisoft sequel again.
Hmmmm.
Hmmmm.
Pistols are used mainly by police officers and military personnel who need a small, compact weapon for blah blah.
I'm liking it so far, took 10 minutes to unlearn COD4 and start playing Vegas again, I was fumbling for vision controls and tossed a frag at my squadmate standing 4 feet away like I always do when switching shooters. Almost done the first mission, all the R6:V I liked back in slightly better form. Leveling up shit is clearly going to be addictive, and even the few meager items it unlocked for me at the beginning due to my 'veteran' status due to my Vegas1 saved game was a nice touch.

does the ps3 version utilize the playstation eye like the 360 vision cam?

Just read the Eurogamer review of the game, and so far I feel it's the best review of the game imho. Very informative about both the good and the bad things in the game. They sum it up pretty well and give it a solid score (7/10).

I didn't read the whole thread, sorry about that. But still the reason I asked is because a friend who also got the game said the load times are MUCH better MP wise and we were just playing Vegas 1 last night so he had a pretty good frame of comparison.DevelopmentArrested said:

From what I have read everywhere, the game is basically a solid sequel. I loved Vegas 1 so I am sure I will love Vegas 2Duck said:
The online is a bit frustrating right now, well it's fine for me but my brother has been disconnected every 10 minutes or so.
... and now we can't connect to each other at all. So the 3 of us gave up terr hunt (kept disconnecting or failing to connect) and played a DM, it worked for about 20 minutes then booted us all. Now we can't join any games we're creating.

If the amount of time I played Vegas is the same with Vegas 2 then I will EASILY get $60 worth of fun out of this.strange_booj said:
Did they atleast improve the MP graphics over the vegas1? Some of Vegas1 textures were pretty blurry and the online had very vasoline smeary quality. Also the character models weren't that great.
Loved vegas1 online nonetheless but it never felt like a true nextgen clancy game. More like something UBI rushed. Wished they would have taken their time and made another game with RavenShield-like quality.

I would recommend giving the HD version of this a watch.Skenzin said:

Looks a lot cleaner in my opinion.
Playing the SP now, really really liking it. Yeah it's definitely an expansion pack of a game, but I'm a sucker for the formula so I can't complain that I was there day 1, we sure knew that going in.
Played a bit of campaign co-op (at least until i was disconnected) and I dunno, I'm fine playing the story mode single. Something about the story mode is more fun *without* another guy there, especially one telling you what door to stack up on and when to enter the room.
The online terr hunt, when it was working, was extremely fun as always. Even the versus modes we tried were pretty interesting and engaging, I really hope the connection problems we were having are temporary and not widespread. Really, the 3 of us are all very close geographically, 2 of us are on the same ISP and since I set up their networks I know their routers are good (at least they've never had any trouble with other online games).
EDIT: the graphics are a mixed bag for me - I've only played a bit but while there seems to be more geometry in the maps/levels I've seen there is some really shoddy texture work. I expect the PS3 version to have slightly poorer textures to begin with, but several reviews on the 360 have said the texture work is no great prize there either. In the Pyrenees there's some really iffy low res textures going on, and the character models seem a bit fuzzier too in MP. It runs pretty well though, this type of shooter doesn't exactly demand 60fps but it's at least stable seeming so far.

The only thing I really want added to RS games is more interactive environments. When I throw a grenade into an office the explosion should blow the file cabinets, papers and computer moniters everywhere. If I throw a grenade in an area with cheap plywood walls they should blow apart the cover in that area.

Im so pissed. I went to 3 different stores looking for this game only to learn the 3/18 was only a ship date. Dam you websites, dam you.

Awesome, thanks. And you know, I kinda hope you're right. :lolDomino Theory said:
WTF, you need to create an UBI.com account to get the streets map and then download it from the marketplace. So stupid, but I should already have one since they did the same shit with GRAW before.
What's with the MLG map? Is it just a code, and are all retailers doing it? I didn't get one when I pre-ordered.

I hope so, that would suck if you couldn't get a map if you didn't pre order. I have to remember my Ubi account because I NEED Streets. Love that map.purg3 said:

wow, from the Eurogamer review...
'Lasting just seven 'acts' (over 25 scenes each lasting about 10-15 minutes), the single-player campaign is woefully short-lived. Putting the game on at 10am on a leisurely Sunday morning, I'd finished the whole thing before my belly started rumbling for an evening meal - and that's factoring in numerous breaks for snacks, IM chats and idle net-browsing. Your mileage will vary related to difficulty level and your ability to nail terrorists, but the ongoing trend for shorter single-player experiences in blockbuster releases is blatantly in evidence here, with six hours likely to be the average first run-through for most.'
'Worse, screen-tearing issues are still rampant, and texturing is often alarmingly bland.'
I'm seriously considering not picking this up tomorrow now.... I said I would not pay full price for a short GRAW2 type of game again. The developer sounds like he blatently lied about the content and length in an interview he had last week...

For those that have the game on PS3, did they map Shoot to R2?
