Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2

"Pretty Good but not finished with transition"

Love the guns, and the game overall is good but my complaints:

1) In terrorist hunt, sometimes they res right in front of you or behind you. This is just stupid.

2) Graphics - Improved from Vegas 1, but gun graphics are among the worst that I've seen. Even Call of Duty 2, which came out a while ago had better gun graphics than this. Piss poor. What I never got about this series is why it takes so long to just load the menu. When you load a level, it takes a while then all the graphics are not even done loading. Weird.

3) Squad - Sometime they are great. Sometimes they are stupid. They just sit there and get shot. Sometimes you tell them go somewhere, but they disappear. Bad quality.

4) I wish they would bring back the .50 cal sniper. There are many out there, maybe even bring a couple. I know that it's not really realistic in close quarters combat, but it would be great to be able to shoot terrorists through brick walls and even cars. 'Got you now b....ch.'

5) They are trying to move more to action, but the controls and weapons change are too slow and cumbersome. Changing grenades, you get killed. To clumsy. Also, in action lots of moving and shooting, but aim goes out the door. This is a fine balance, but not just right yet.

6) Sometime I'll put 1/2 clip of ammo into a bad guy right in front of him. He still lives and kills me. This is on hard of course, but this is ridiculous. Supposed to be 'realistic'. What's also weird is that a bad guy will be pointing his gun at the ground, shoot me, and still be able to kill me. How stupid is that?

7) If you have woman character, her voice is really hard to hear.

All that said, I still love the game and series. I love the silenced sniper and small shotgun. I wish they would bring back all the guns from the early games and even pc games. Also, unlocking guns is new. Sort of a change that sucks.

I loved the beginning and end when they had alpha and the other squads. Sort of like the PC game. Maybe they can use that more. More of a team kick ass feeling.
