Anyone else have this yet? Once I adjusted the brightness and sensitivity I was good to go and I've been amazed with this game every since. The reviews were right, this is a great game. The cover system works great better than gears of war according to my friend who has both games. Also the customization and weapon options are the best in any R6 game I've played.(I did not play GRAW). I love an LMG with a rifle scope.:yaya: AI of your teammates is very good so far.

Overall, tis not a bad game. There was a bug in multiplayer that I experiece where it keeps playing the gunfire sound until the person that it got stuck playing on shoots again. Have not had the time to play lately, so I am not sure if it was ever fixed.

..not sure if that last paragraph made any sense. I am coming up on 31 hours of being awake, minus maybe 40 minutes of sleep I had last night. Work is not always fun. :(

Father Goose

12-25-2006, 07:40 PM

Santa's very old and confused.

I don't know if I would enjoy this game as much on a PC. The controller is perfect for it- what I lack in speed/precision that I normally have with a mouse is given back to me with the cover system. I don't think I'd like the 3rd person cover stuff quite as much with a PC.

But I digress. I STILL SAY THIS GAME ROCKS and I'm surprised I don't see more of us playing it more often.

I was suprised with this game as well. I just finished the single player and my gold trial just expired so I haven't tried multiplay yet. Sux cuz this is the first game I have to try on live. Anyway, the story was great as far as RB6 games go.

My buddy Mother Goose had a similar problem with Chromehounds, although the 360 didn't get bumped. For some reason the 360 etched a perfectly circular scratch into the surface of the disc.

The best advice I can give you is to call Ubisoft customer support. They MIGHT let you mail in a scratched disc in exchange for a new one.

Those disc-doctor things have never, EVER worked for me. Cost $30 and scratch the s*&^ out of your CDs and games.

Good luck!

In single player you can choose from every gun available, so there isn't really anything to earn. Since they make you play as Logan, your cosmetic identity is already set, so they don't want you putting on different armor or anything.

Had I designed the system, I would have made it so that running through single player would have eventually earned you all the clothing/armor items. Playing through multiplayer would earn you MP weapons. Just to shake it up, so that MP whores didn't have all the fun. :)

The nice thing, though, is that no one weapon or piece of armor can totally dominate a game. Yeah, some guns are slightly nicer than others, but some of the important ones you earn pretty early in MP anyway. That way you don't just get raped over and over by some guy who used a point-farming technique to get some kind of super-gun.

Just picked up this game today on sale for $40 at Best Buy. I quit out hafl way thru tutorial to go online with Knot, Kernel Error, and a friend from work for 4-player co-op missions. I gotta say, this same is pretty sweet! I equipped my dude with an MP9 w/ laser dot and silencer and a Beretta 92FS. Gotta get some ranks so I can unlock more stuff for my guy to use. Also used a G36C with an ACOG scope on semi-auto. That thing rocks!!!

If you're talking about more than default gear in SP, everytime you pick up a weapon it gest added if you didn't already start with it. Ie. P90, MG36, G36C, Desert Eagle, etc.

I think I might have to purchase the Gold Membership to try this COOP MP action. I love the single player and I can't imagine how much fun MP would be.

My personal favorite combo's are the P90 with a laser on full auto(it has a relfex scope already) and the G36C on single shot with the ACOG. With Smoke, lots of smoke.

01-02-2007, 04:51 PM

That was fun yesterday playing co-op with you guys. I noted a couple of things that we can work on:

We're getting jammed up at the doors bc the stackers are trying to go in while the rest are also trying to go in. I think we need to figure out who's going to be lead all the time and who's going to stack against the doors.
1 person opens the door and everyone else rushes in. The door opener goes in last to kill or cover the squad's back. I think this will be helpful in Terrorist Hunt mode as they do spawn in behind the squad.
1 person opens the door, someone else can throw in a flashbang.
We need to enter the room from multiple entrances at the same time. The one person that is blindly opening the door is going to alert the Tango's. The rest of the team at the other entrance will have a harder time going in. So let's do it on queue.
Same with rappeling and prior to breaching the windows. Wait for a GO signal before shooting and breaching.

I know some of you guys are expert killers, but we're playing co-op for the enjoyment of everyone. Part of the fun is the setup and perfect execution of breaching a room thru the doors, windows, or skylight and saving the hostage.

Knot, did we run thru all the co-op maps? If we did, let's do Terrorist Hunt on realistic next. No respawns are available so I think better get our shit straight. :)

Other than that! Kick ass game!!!

Kernel Error

01-02-2007, 05:51 PM

Thats a good idea.

While playing last night i thought when we do rush a door we need ppl to know what direction they are covering that way we all dont cover just the right side while the T on the left fills us with holes. We could set it up for the first person to enter covers lets just say front left, the next front right and then they move to the left and right while the third covers just front and the door opener comes in as back up were needed.

Also if we can get our dinamic intances down that would be sweet. I definatly like that idea.

We should also work on our load outs so that we complement each other instead all haveing short reange weapons. Maybe throw in a machine gun and sniper rifle every now and again and have that person support the rest of the group with covering fire. Again when needed. Only dissadvantage i see with the sniper rifle is that then your just left with pistol since you can only carry one rifle in MP.

I played a bunch of Terrorist Hunt tonite with some of my co-workers. Totally different game play than Co-op Story. The T's have several spawn points and are triggered by your movement. Sometimes they're at the same position, sometimes they're not. They also come in behind you so you gotta have someone watch your flank.

On Normal mode/Medium density/with 4 players, there were several maps that we just couldn't win. And those of you who've played with my co-workers know that they are pretty good.

Let's do T Hunt next time we get online fellas!

Father Goose

01-03-2007, 08:52 AM

So is this a slow tactical game like the good old days of RB6 or is this run and gun ala Ghost Recon?

I would say that it is tactical movement with some pretty frantic shooting action. 90% tactical coolness along with some "Oh SHIT!" moments when bad guys fast rope down from the ceiling and whatnot.

I STILL have almost nothing bad to say about R6:V.

wihadmin

01-03-2007, 11:18 AM

I would say it's faster than the classic R6, but slower and more intense than GRAW bc of the close quarters environments where you have to move from door to door. Vegas env is smaller producing lots CQBs.

The enemy AI is smarter in Vegas. They'll take cover, they'll flashbang, smoke and grenade you. Many times last nite, we'd take cover and peek around a corner only to have a tango blast a SPAS-12 in our faces. And another time, we just spawned in on a new map, we found a rope to scale up the building. We were just standing there asking each other if we should rope up or take the stairs. Then suddenly 2-3 tangos came running down the stairs and opened up on us. I managed to kill one before biting it. The other 3 guys got wiped out. This happened in about 5 seconds after the start of the round. Enemy AI was on Normal. Hate to think what Realistic is like on Terrorist Hunt.

I have nothing bad to say about R6:V either. Absolutely fun and exciting game. I still haven't gone past the tutorial on Train Yard map yet. Every time I play, I get invites to do MP online. :D

Am finding that you have to be far more aggressive in Co-Op T- Hunts, with only 10 mins on some maps it's just way to hard to take your time.

Cover your eyes always means they're throwing a flashbang. F*** you means they saw you, usually. They also yell stuff when they throw a regular grenade.

Some of the other stuff that I chuckle at:

The Mexican guys calling me a whore's son "Hijo de puta!".
"We gotta situation here!" "What kind of situation?" "The killing kind!"
Their constant bantering over who gets to shoot the hostages and when to do it..."I say we kill the bitch now!" "No! We do it in front of the cameras!"

I also like how dark your teammate's humor is..."Frag and clear"....BANG!..."Ooooh, chunky giblets!" "Anyone keeping score?" "Oooh, nice kill!"

Sorry about the dropped game. Everything just locked up on me.

We ran into a bug on several T Hunt maps, when there's only 1 T left you can't find him. either he's not spawned in or he's glitched into a wall or something. We've combed the maps but just can't find him. Sucks. Maps were LVU, Kill House and Border Town. Doesn't happen all the time, just sometimes and it's annoying bc we spent a lot of time killing everything and then to lose bc of a glitch or bug...

VonKroll, sorry I keep dropping from the games you invite me too. I was getting horrendous lag and then I froze up in that game yesterday. It seems to happen whenever it is on more than 4 player on Euro hosted games. Do you have that problem on U.S. hosted ones?

Father Goose, whats your gamertag, you never posted on the roll call thread.

I am on the very first page.

You youngin's know me not because I don't play BF2 or CS:S anymore but I've been around here at WiH a while.

Anyway, my gamertag is....

...in the signature of every post I make.

I WILL be online playing R6 tonight.

Edit- In fact, we're already friends, Max. <hurt schoolgirl voice>Or at least....sniffle....I thought we were friends...sniffle...</hurt schoolgirl voice>.

Well, I finally got a few games in with you guys. Good fun. It will take some time to get used to how sluggish the game is compared to SP, atleast for me.

right from what i have heard is if you use WP nades the last tango does not spawn.
Are you joking?

VonKroll, sorry I keep dropping from the games you invite me too. I was getting horrendous lag and then I froze up in that game yesterday.
I can't play in games that Vonkroll hosts. I'm have 5 seconds of lag. Open door. wait wait wait wait wait. then the door opens...

Good fun. It will take some time to get used to how sluggish the game is compared to SP, atleast for me.
Must be a laggy host for you bc I won't see much of a difference. But then again, I've been playing mostly co-op story and t hunt with the guys here.

We've got too many WiH'ers on and not enough room on our co-op sessions! :)

We'll have to start playing some real MP games, although I tried a bunch of types out online with other people, and they weren't all that fun, except for maybe Attack & Defend. Everything is a variation of deathmatch or team deathmatch. I still prefer a good session of co-op story or co-op T Hunt with 3 other WiH'ers.

Co-Op is where it's at for me. I cannot stand any of the other modes but that is probably because I am not sneaky enough to take on some of the other players. I usually have to rely on luck and being in the right place at the right time, but usually I am in the wrong place at the wrong time.

100% agree! Co-op story and T-hunt are great.

Nothing is more enjoyable than a well executed room clearance.

As for the other deathmatch modes, I am not impressed, there are better games and platforms for that type of play.

You might be able to get more xp in the other modes, but I don't really care, I am happy with my MP5.:mp5:

The MP7 silenced is pretty sweet! I love hearing that metal clacking sound when it's on full auto. But my favorite is the G36C. Love that gun on semi-auto w/o silencer.

We've been playing T Hunt on Normal/Med density. If we ever get too good for that, which I don't think we will any time soon, we can play it on Realistic/High Density. But even right now, Normal/Med is kicking our behinds!

PS. You guys remember that one map yesterday where we started underground and have 2 stairs to up up? that ws crazy! I was wielding a LMG and just ran straight up blasting 360 degrees. Tracers from every Terrorist was coming my way. Somehow I made it to cover and survived that. This game rocks!!!

We ran into a bug on several T Hunt maps, when there's only 1 T left you can't find him. either he's not spawned in or he's glitched into a wall or something. We've combed the maps but just can't find him. Sucks. Maps were LVU, Kill House and Border Town. Doesn't happen all the time, just sometimes and it's annoying bc we spent a lot of time killing everything and then to lose bc of a glitch or bug...

One of my coworkers has a theory on this. He's seen it where the incendiary grenade will kill 3 tangos, but the tango count only goes down by 2. It is highly possible that this is the problem. The system is incorrectly recording deaths when they were killed by incendiary. This makes sense as I started using incendiary instead of frag grenade. I wonder if it's the host that's triggering this. Remind me next time when I hst to use frag grenades only and we'll see if this problem resurfaces.

I like the SCAR lately. Decent power and range. The only thing I didn't like about the MP7 was how little stopping power it had and the fact that it had no scope.

This is being reported by other co-op T Hunt players on Ubisoft's forums as well. So let's limit our incendiary usage on T Hunt until they put out a patch for this.

I played retrieval last nite. I was in 2 different hosts playing retrieval, both lagged badly with 14 players. Game play is ok I suppose. Grab the suitcase and bring it back to your side of the fence. I guess it would be more fun if we have all WiH folks on.

I'll host a retrieval game next time we have a lot of WiH'ers on. My upspeed is 2mbps so maybe there won't be lag.

Cool, Snake what is your xbox name?

Father Goose

01-15-2007, 04:42 PM

Well, since Gamefaqs has come up short for this particular game, lemme ask a question.

The section where your computer guy has to re-route the dam controls (watch Star Trek much, guys?)...what strategy did you guys use?

It seems like no matter where I stand or how many guys I kill somebody always snipes the computer guy.

The strategy that has come closest to working is standing right by the big door that opens and chucking grenades, but the problem is that at my checkpoint I only have one more grenade. So the question becomes, is there an ammo box nearby that I am missing? They blend in so well with the dang scenery...

Does anybody have a foolproof strategy for this?

On a related note...sure is funny that everybody whined about Dead Rising having only one save slot but nobody whines about R6:V's one save slot...lemme tell you. I'm getting pretty tired of running down the stairs and clearing the area right outside the computer lab.

wihadmin

01-15-2007, 05:11 PM

Can you smoke the room so the sniper can't see the computer guy?

Father Goose

01-15-2007, 05:27 PM

No. At this checkpoint I am down to one incendiary grenade. Oops.

Ichi

01-15-2007, 05:57 PM

Try staying in the room with the terminal, as soon as I fought from there I had no problem with that level.

Father Goose

01-15-2007, 07:51 PM

I did that several times as well. What was startling to me was that suddenly he would be dead and I wouldn't know how...

Finally I restarted that segment. Pro-tip: "that segment" actually starts with the checkpoint right before there. So I just sat outside the door and threw like 5 grenades (regular and incendiary) into the open door.

Now I'm trying to track down and kill Irene. The game feels really buggy at these later levels. Often my guys will open, frag, but then not clear a room, they just stand at the door. Animations are wigging out- bad guys drop down on ropes and then stand for a second with their arms straight out in the "I have just been spawned" pose.

When the guy is on the computer click click clicking, am I supposed to go somewhere or just cover him? I killed all the bad guys and then waited for like two minutes but nobody game. I started looking around the room for hidden bad guys but it told me that I had failed the mission. Errrrr?

I have enjoyed the game but the bugs are starting to piss me off. Several times the levels have loaded with no environmental textures in addition to the above weirdness.

Knottwobad

01-15-2007, 10:07 PM

I am stuck at this very spot tryin to kill Irene and the guy just keeps clicking away at the computer and then it tells you you failed to kill Irene or I get killed and the one guy either does very little to help or ends up down and I have to try and save his ass. I am really getting fed up with that level. I wish it were like GOW where someone can help you with it because in coop multi it seemed easier.

BTW, at the dam I had no nades left and was able to hold off the onslaught by hanging back on the right and let the other guy stay on the left and we were both slightly in front of the 3rd guy working on the dam controls. I just kept sniping them as they came until they were no more.

Ichi

01-15-2007, 10:27 PM

Father Goose

01-16-2007, 12:08 AM

I just finished it.

******MILD AND PREDICTABLE SPOILERS ARE AHEAD! DON'T READ IF YOU HAVEN'T FINISHED THE GAME******

Dumbest...cliffhanger...ever...I wanted somebody to say, "Hey, nice job for killing like 10,000 terrorists and saving Las Vegas like 10 times from certain disaster." But no. Just a cliffhanger ending.

Also, the thing with Jung typing while you defend him is kind of a glitch. I had to replay this a couple times to figure it out. If a bad guy gets stuck somewhere hiding from you but he can't see you (therefore he doesn't move) after a certain amount of time I think it fails you.

Also, if you wander too far from him I think it also fails you.

If you get it juuuust right, and kill all the bad guys who are already downstairs, Jung eventually tells you he'll need to stay there with English Dude and you go upstairs, kill two guys and your buddies come running up to help you find and kill Irene.

Compared to some of the parts of Dante's and a couple short stretches on the dam, the rest of the game seemed easy to me. But who am I to complain? They'll put out an expansion pack so hard I'll end up twisting a control in half.

On the multiplayer side, I made Corporal last night. Haven't played with my awesome new camo yet, though :)

How much do I have to play to level up? Geez!

Father Goose

01-16-2007, 11:12 AM

Team Xbox has a breakdown of the rankings and how many points each one requires.

There are some "boosting" methods you can do in co-op to raise your score artificially. That's for sissies, though :)

I just play the game...

But if you want to have the best chance of getting high points, I would recommend the following:

Score is based on a lot of things, but play a TEAM based game. On a TEAM game everybody on your team gets the same points breakdown. On a free-for-all game type you pretty much have to whup everybody's ass to get the big points.

Of the TEAM game types, try Team Sharpshooter or Attack and Defend. Try them both with respawns and a high time limit (max is 20 minutes). The longer a match goes, the more points you'll get.

There are other things too...if you're on the outnumbered team, you get more points. If you win, obviously you get a LOT more points.

As an example- the other day I was playing and was getting 800-900 points for each round we won, and at least 300 points for each round we lost.

But mostly, I don't worry too much about the rank. Go to teamxbox.com and look up that feature...you'll find that the higher ranking players don't really get THAT much of an advantage...at Cpl I have most of the useful camo patterns, and pretty much all the weapons I want. If you really want bright red camo and a boonie hat, you'll hafta work for it ;)

The nothing if you lose part...doesn't sound so sweet to me...

That's why I stopped playing Ghost Recon online with youz guyz. I hated those levels where we'd defend a point against like 400 tangos and we would lose almost every time...

I don't mind getting my balls kicked in by other humans but losing that much to the computer is just too much for my fragile ego ;) I know you guys like the challenge, though.

Realistic is the way to the go. THe game is alot more fun. I want to play COOP story with 4 or however many can on realistic and roll through the game.

Father Goose

01-18-2007, 11:34 AM

Realistic felt very odd to me...

A lot of the tangos would still stand with their backs to doors. That one guy totally ignored us standing THREE FEET behind him.

But then we killed him and his buddy pulled a multiplayer tactic, just holding down the trigger and stepping to his left, and capped all three of us in seconds. Pretty slick for the computer.

I think I would still enjoy most of R6 on realistic, but man. The parts that had me shouting before would probably give me a stroke or something.

It's more fun that way for online, though. I think we'd cut through the regular story missions too fast if we played it on normal.
