Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2

Has Ubisoft Got a New Rainbow Six in the Pipeline?
Written Thursday, May 05, 2011 By Richard Walker

Good old CVs. They seem to be revealing a lot lately, as a developer CV spotted on NeoGAF has offered clues that a new Rainbow Six title could be in the works.

Recording engineer Sean Popejoy's LinkedIn profile includes a section claiming that he "developed Pro Tools sessions from Ubisoft audio for the game demo of Rainbow Six (2011)."

That's hint number 1. Over on NeoGAF again, the same forum member also managed to  track down a www.rainbowsix-bd.com domain name that was apparently filed by Ubisoft in late 2009 and subsequently adjusted in 2010, observes Eurogamer.

What the 'BD' in the domain name stands for is anyone's guess, but it'd be nice to see a return for Rainbow Six, as the last game in the series was Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 back in 2008. That's assuming that the aforementioned CV info is accurate, of course.

I loved Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 it was so different and offered a more tactical side compared to CoD. It was brilliant what they implemented ranking up in single player, co-op in single player,choosing firing modes and designing your own armour etc.

The online was brilliant I prefered it to CoD4 TBH. I loved Team leader it was such a fun game mode.

I am not bashing CoD in anyway just stating the differences.

Oh boy, lets hope its true. The other 2 were great games, there a little dated now so it will be nice if another comes out.

No one could touch me on the others once I'd played for a few weeks :D

Ended up playing for atleast 4 hours a day destroying everyone!

Great games. I just wish UbiSoft would fix the Special Ops glitched achievement in Vegas 1. I lack faith in their customer support in the event of an issue being found after the game is deployed.

Gameplay in both previous Rainbow 6 games was awesome. Just the whole lack of caring about customers is a bit annoying.

If Rainbow Six follows suit (no vegas jokes intended), and has dedicated servers like Gears of War, then this would be the best game ever!
I absolutely love RSV, but it was far from amazing because of unbearable lag constantly plaguing the game. Hopefully they find a way to fix that in the next one.

Good that there making another one but they should get ghost recon out first. Remember the multiplayer beta that came with splinter cell conviction to be played on summer 2010 that was fun wasnt it.............

Ubisoft looking to tear it up with yet another Assassin's Creed, Ghost Recon, Far Cry 3 and now hopefully Another Rainbow Six!

The Vegas games are amazing, I love the atmosphere when playing them.

Terrorist Hunts are arguably the most fun you can have in a co-op mode. It gets so intense when you have 1 enemy remaining because you know he always ends up being some sort of Rambo that annihilates your entire team. LOL!

The customisation was brilliant, just bring back the 4 player co-op from Vegas 1 and maintain the level-up from Vegas 2 and you're onto a winner.

I put so many hours into those games...vegas 1 was awesome and I didn't think vegas 2 could get any better and boy was I wrong.! Just the simple addition of running made it so much better...the cover system is the best and I love the ranking system..I miss tagging my enemy and rapelling in to merc them...! Please let this be tru I can't wait...!

Maybe its Rainbow Six: Bluray Disc, the entire game is set inside a PS3 trying to track down information on the PSN outage

I rather hope the game has decent difficulty levels and on maximum it plays like Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield, that was the best balance of modern shooter control with the proper Rainbow Six "haha you opened a door without being careful, you deserved to be shot in the face you idiot" difficulty

Rainbow 6 Vegas 2 was close to game-play perfection, loved that game to death.
I can't recall how many times I've played through the campaign with my GF, even bought the DE verson just for the heck of it...
Pre-order guaranteed!
