To their credit, the lads can't half shoot, and it's all too easy and tempting to just send them on ahead to scope out an area, while you remain in relative safety behind a 4ft-thick concrete wall. It's a situation that's made worse by their seeming indestructibility. You may not Ire able to take much damage yourself, but these guys eat it up like a Fat Club member let loose on a shelf of pick W mix. Admittedly, you do have frequent call to take on the role of squad medic -sticking healing injections into your teammates' backsides whenever they take a hit - but you never feel as though they're in any mortal danger.
After you've revived them, you can just send them straight back into tire danger zone with a pat on the back and a kind word. This isn't so much of a problem in the fiendishly hard Realistic' mode, but in 'Normal', it can sometimes be a serious hindrance to the tension levels. Other areas are just as hit-and-miss. Tire voice-acting ranges from wooden to wonderful, with your character sounding like a hillbilly who'd Ire more at home shooting tin cans off tree stumps with his pa's shotgun than blasting the entrails out of a bomb-crazed terrorist.
The physics are generally impressive, but collision detection is suspect Your arsenal is stunning both in terms of scope and realism but a smattering of weapons are solely misjudged, especially the shield, which allows you to crawl around levels practically impervious to damage.
Hit-and-miss, hit-and-miss, hit-and-miss. That's Vegas in a nutshell. Now I don't want you getting the wrong impression here, because Vegas is in no way a poor game. It's really not. Far from it. It's an experience packed with thrills, tension, excellent pacing, a myriad of top-class multiplayer options and a half-decent plot that throws a few swerve balls at you when you're least expecting them.
The real problem is that it simply isn't as good as it could have been. Erratic Al, overly impervious sidekicks, some suspect voice-acting, patchily impressive and hugely power-hungry visuals. It's a list that adds up to a missed opportunity if ever I've seen one, but while Vegas may not quite have hit the jackpot, it does still manage to walk away a winner. Vegas teems with extra options to extend your fun once you're done with the-six-to ten-hour story-driven campaign.
You can choose to go solo in Terrorist Hunt missions, which reveal just how much harder the game is when you don't have a couple of willing, virtually indestructible sidekicks following your every order. There are also eight multiplayer modes to enjoy, including: Co-op mode, where you and up to three other wannabe Rainbow warriors can tackle the single-player campaign together; Attack and Defend, which sees one team defending an objective while the other attempts to wrest control from them; and good old-fashioned free-for-all contests where you have to kill anything with a pulse while staying alive.
Now that's what we call variety! Rival shooters bow your heads in shame. We wanted to introduce the team to the player and then take it away again - we wanted that to be an emotional experience. Second, we wanted to make a really distinct contrast between the dusty streets of Mexico and the glitzy glamour of Vegas. I think perhaps, the Mexican missions went on a little longer than we intended, but we also wanted the player to explore and get used to the game before they got to the 'money shot', as it were.
We wanted to improve their characterisation, to make them feel like humans, and having only two team-mates made that a lot easier, and let us put a lot more into their Al. The context-sensitive command system was a huge effort right across the team - just from the programming side, we had one guy from start to finish developing all the info we'd need in the game to allow us to do that.
We went through half a dozen different iterations, trying again and again until we got something we were happy with. Las Vegas is a very well publicised place - people know what it looks like. We could use the exteriors of the buildings - the shape of them - but we couldn't use the names of the casinos and hotels, or anything copyrighted. However, a lot of what you see is what's actually there in Vegas, apart from the stuff we blow up, which is our own invention.
The real driving factor was that we were producing this esgue continuous experience where you spend the night in Vegas, and to do that with only three health points wasn't really feasible - it would've made the game extraordinarily hardcore. There was no way we were going back to the health pack mentality, so we went with the idea of the bullet just grazing you rather than hitting you in the heart, and it proved the best solution. It also leads to some really intense moments, when you've got your screen darkened out and you're under fire.
Two-and-a-half years ago we decided to have this cover system, and from then it was just what it was going to be and how flexible it was. There was a lot of fear from fans earlier on, especially the multiplayer crowd, that it wasn't going to allow for balanced games and so forth.
We were looking at forums and they were saying 'It'll destroy Rainbow Six ' but we were like, 'Don't worry - it's all under control'! FPSs live or die by their multiplayer mode, and it's always been integral to and a big focus of the Rainbow experience. Personally, I'm a big fan of co-op, so I really wanted to make that work well. We wanted people to have fun going through the casinos together - it's always a really powerful experience when you gather your friends together, and instead of competing against each other, you're working together against the Al.
It's great fun and I'm aiming to put co-op in all my future games. We looked at teams around the world, but unfortunately it still boils down to a very limited range of weapons. So we had two focuses - the Rainbow weapons and the terrorist weapons, which can be more varied but are mostly things we know are really common out there. NET 6. Want to learn more about.
