Alan Pettit

Next time you load up Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 expect a title update. Among multiple little things, the coveted fix for "Private First Class" and "Freedom Shall Prevail" is included and those two achievements will be awarded to anyone who deserves them and has not received them to date. The full list of fixes and updates can be found below.

>>> IMPROVEMENTS <<<

Weapon Switch
Swapping to & from Pistols are now faster in Multiplayer.

Sound Loops
Optimized sound bank to improve weapon firing and helicopter sound clips that loop over and over.

Pings
Servers now update their pings more often so that players have a more accurate value of server performance.

Team Leader Respawn Modification
Spawn Shield is shorter when respawning with the Leader.

XP Modifiers
When there are more people on a team than the other, there is an overall XP modifier applied to all XP gained during the game.

Outfitting
By pressing the start button, players now have access to the outfitting menu in observer mode.

Team Deathmatch Respawn Modification
Respawning in Team Deathmatch now work like regular Deathmatch (random points throughout the map) which intensifies gameplay and minimizes spawn camping/trapping.

Faster Respawns
Faster respawns for Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch. You no longer have to wait a full 10 seconds!

Custom Search
Players who enter a room using custom search then exit will be brought back to an automatic search with the same criteria.


>>> FIXES <<<

Rank Reset Glitch
Fixed. Players will be able to use their Xbox guide during the game loading without risk of losing their rank.

If you are ranked Private First Class or above, you will automatically get the achievement after the title update is complete and you load your gamer profile.

Out of Map Glitch
Players can no longer cover-peek into each other to raise a team mate above their heads that allows them to walk into areas outside the designated map.

  • damn.. i just traded in the game for credit toward GTA4... now ill have to rent it or borrow it from a friend to get the private first class achievement...
  • my rank is fine, i did the work around, i guess ill get elite offline, please dont accuse me of gamesaving or anything, ill just be offline getting it.
  • Man I still didn't get the story in realistic, I checked the scene selection and all the realistic boxes were checked as completed WTF!!!!
  • Alright, those glitched achievements should be updated in the achievement guide then.
  • Update worked a treat for me. Already had my PFC/Realistic, so didn't get those. But the loops aren't happening, the team deathmatch random spawn works excellently and the pistol switch is a lot more useable now. Good fix ^^
  • YES, stoked
  • im very glad that these conflicts are fixed but what about the ladder glitch. i often get stuck on the ladder for no reason, i hope it's gone.
  • It's too late for the update now. My rank got screwed up the butt.
  • sweet i just rented this game and now i can get PFC Sweet
  • Sweet update--can't wait to hop on. Since I'm almost a Colonel, I don't mind if there's no more boosting to be had; this game is pretty sweet on T-hunt, anyway. Let's max this bitch out.
  • I didn't realize there was so much that needed fixing
  • when is this update live?
  • good quick action, gla we didnt have to wait months for these.
  • About Time.
  • great that they fially fixed the pfc glitch, although freedom shall prevail was fine for me
  • Im gonna have to bring this back out to get the PFC and check some of these fixes out. I wonder how they stopped the XP glitchers in the first act.
  • yes i think these were good updates except now i got my PFC achievement after i already got my ELITE achievement looks sort of weird but overall good stuff

  • Yeah, same here. The hell. Where is the Freedom Shall Prevail?!
  • i know this is pissing me off i just checked and have everything checked but no achievement????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • NOOO!!!!!!!! THEY FIXED THE AMBUSH PLACE!!!!!!!!
  • Glad I already got 1000 on this crappy game!
  • my friend got really pissed cause the title update somehow deleted his saved game and and his rank... and he was almost elite too... i would be so pissed!!

  • So if you don't accept the update you can still do the glitch on ambush and then when im near elite I am going to accept the update and get my elite online with a date.
  • still no FSP ach, better luck next time...
  • Nice, it's good that Vegas 2 is getting updates, i might have to try it out.
  • Gave me the ach. for PFC, but no luck on beating it on realistic... Still missing that one... Hopefully they will do another update that will actually fix the problem...
  • I went to go replay it on Realistic and it unlocked after only one chapter. So try that.
  • wow i really wish they did this with EA's skate. I lost a 75 pointer in that game and the bastards were to cheap to update it like this. Thats a surprise lol
  • The update also allowed people to boost their elite ranks to 99 by reupdating.
