Dude one humble request.Please ease on the huge smiley usage.It's extremely distracting for reading others messages.I can understand in one or two posts but after that it becomes plain irritating.

I have played & completed R6V long back.It was the first Rainbow Six game I have ever enjoyed in my life.The first one was absolutely amazing.The controls were simple & the storyline was pretty decent too.Not to mention the uber-cool UE3 graphics effect for Vegas.;)

The only reason I didn't play R6V 2 on my 7900GT was because the frames weren't stable for some reason.So I decided to play it after I got my new card.Hopefully this time it should blaze through.:D

Sorry for my foolishness :(

Dude don't be sorry.It was getting very difficult & distracting to read with such huge smileys occupying the space.So see if you can trim it down to normal sizes.;)

ahh! At last got Mass Effect. I am installing it currently but its taking a lotta time as the installer is literally 'EXTRACTING' the files. But still I am too excited to play it. Its been a long time since I got attracted and excited towards a game so much.

Strange that the FPS lacked on 7900, its not that meek a card, maybe the game is not that optimized. Well I had an absolute smooth experience on my 8800GT with every thing maxed out and I guess so would you on HD4850....so enjoy the game. I wish there was vegas III. I simply loved that series....:)
Samy I guess this game is really dodgy or something.The darn this drops to 26 Fps randomly.I'm not sure what's bottlenecking this game, my CPU may be.:confused:

This is really irritating.The game is really good.I get 50-60 Fps on random occasions but there are slow downs which I never expected.I am already on ACT 3 Arena part.I guess it's going to be over before I know it.The action is going extremely fast & this time round the game seems to have some massive bugs.I command my squad mates & they just get stuck somewhere for no reason.Did you complete it? What frames are you getting on it?

I played R6 Vegas2. It didnt have such serious FPS problems but it did have some. Coming to bugs, yus the game is laden with bugs. You can find enemies that can walk through walls, team-mates that are stuck and are running into walls, team-mates who dont follow orders, ALT+Tab kills the game making you restart it, Multi-player drops off many a times, clothes clipping through bodies, fired bullets being not hit on the target and non-exploding grenades. This are some INTERESTING:D problems i encountered. But avoiding all of this (its hard to but u can if oyu try), the game is great. You still have much time to play before its over. I dont remember exactly how many ACTs were there but I think there were 5.

One thing is for sure, Ubisoft is plagued with buggy games.That's the reason they cough up so many patches as opposed to others.I was surprised to see this games performance dipping even with V-Sync off.I had zero issues with the earlier games I completed but this & Assassin's Creed is taking away all my fun.It's not a huge drop per se but still I expected a lot better performance in these titles.

Woah! That's one too many bugs than mine.My biggest bug was the squad wouldn't follow commands & one of them would just keep walking into something & get stuck out there.Not sure about the Alt+Tab but I remember pressing the windows key to kill FRAPS & was able to revert to the game without any problem.Took some time though.As far as I have read the game has 7 acts all together.I was going all gung-ho on everyone, so I guess it may end soon enough.:D

Hey don't get me wrong.It ain't that bad.It's just that I have got used to watching 60+ frames on most UE3 based games so I felt this was a huge let down.The game didn't stutter at any point, which is good, but just randomly drop the frame rates.The game is pretty good but I feel the first one was better & had much better storyline too.If you haven't played the first Vegas game then better get that & then play this one.The first one was perfectly optimised, less buggy & not many known issues as this one.It ran beautifully on my 7900GT almost everything on high.

Gameplay is very simple.You are accompanied by 2 other squad members.You can easily direct them to infiltrate, clear the area, setup explosives etc. by just pressing the space bar key.This is as simple as it gets for any squad based tactical shooter.The usual cover & fire technique is present.You can also blind fire a la Gears of War.I'd say the best Rainbow Six game in the series.Definitely a must buy.

As i had shifted from an onboard straight to 4850 so i haven't played any newer games. So i haven't played any of these tactical shooters. I think i should first get Vegas 1. But i want to ask that do both these games have any connection? If i first play vegas 2 then will i miss something and are these games like first person shooters but more emphasis on strategy i.e how u plan the kill?

Rainbow Six Vegas 2 is pretty much connected to the first game & hence the storyline will have some elements which have previous characters associated with it.If you don't want to bother too much about the story then you can skip that aspect & just get down to some extreme fire fighting action.Apart from that the gameplay & graphics remain the same.Locations change for both games & by the looks of it I guess the first game had excellent locations.I have to play R6V 2 to fully comment though.

I would recommend you purchase the first game if you want to play the games in an orderly fashion.As for the gameplay, as opposed to the normal FPS you get the assistance of your squad members.Commanding them efficiently can decide on your ass being saved or not.If you choose to go solo then be prepared to be fried by those terrorists barging in from all sides.You have to plan carefully, nothing much in depth though.For example, if you have to save few hostages who are trapped in a room then before entering the door you can actually take a snake cam view on the room (meaning you can actually look get a visual scan of the people behind the door) & then pick the terrorists who you want to target.Once you fix the enemies target priority you can command your squad mates to open & clear & then barge in & accurately pin them down.If you wish to do this by yourself then make sure you shoot them in time else they will shoot off the hostages.;)

So it's totally depends on your co-ordination with your squad members.You also can send your team mates further to inspect if the area looks suspicious & you don't want to risk going all alone & being shot first.Last but not the least, you have the health regeneration factor.So when you're hit, just take cover when hit & regain your health.:D

can someone tell me how is "FEAR Perseus"...

Nice game. Good graphics coupled with good gameplay and story. But the original FEAR is better IMHO.

I got Flatout 3 today. Sh1t game I must say.

Bad grafix, worst gameplay, etc etc

IMO this is the worst expansion pack.The graphics are totally washed out & seems like a pathetic 2D port.The environment seems so dull that you loose total interest in the game.I quit playing it after a few levels.Not recommended.
