Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six® Vegas 2 on Steam.
It’s now $9.99 or 50% off until january 20th (it’s the current weekend deal) I’m installing the game now and will update this post to review status once I’ve gone hands on.
I’ve gotta say it’s looking good though. I was a wicked fan of the original Rainbow Six game, and it’s expansion rainbow Six: Eagle Watch, but that was way before I had a high-speed connection, and even before I had a “graphics card”, so as long as Vegas 2 can successfully carry the mantle of it’s fore-fathers, I see no issues and am issueing a strict “GO! GO! GO!” (a little CT humor) on buying this game.
Will edit once the verdict is in!

Edit: Sorry I couldn’t get back to you guys on this game sooner… I was addicted! while I at first wasn’t sure the game was for me, seemed like a lot of trouble (not killing hostages, defusing bombs, etc.) once I realized what terrorist hunt was, I was elated! you can pit yourself against a house full of enemies and just go nuts! and terorist hunt adds to your total xp, which is used to unlock new guns and equipment… man, this games deffinitly worth ten bucks, and it’s probably worth the twenty it is when it’s not on sale. For now though, only get this game if your not playing anything else.
Also, since I happend to be on my vista install when I bought the game, I’m running it on vista, and though the system requirements for vista are kind of high, 2048MB RAM Radeon HD 3850 and above, I don’t meet either of those (1.5GB’s RAM Radeon 3650) and it runs flawlessly on high settings.
Peace, I’m gonna go take down some tango’s!
Hey man, you said you have, or at least did have the original Rainbow Six for PC, correct? Well, I recently dug up my old copy of the original Rainbow Six, as well as Rainbow Six: Eagle Watch mission pack. I used to play on Windows XP, but when today I installed it on my laptop, it does not work. I can open the game, and it only gets as far as the intro game videos. As soon as the intro videos are done, it always closes both games at the exact same point. I can’t even get to the main menu. So, I was wondering if you had any ideas on how to please help me fix this compatibility issue! (At least i think it is)
Oh yeah, forgot to mention, my laptop runs on Windows Vista Home Premium, so that’s why I think it is a compatibility issue…
Nice, way to keep it old skool. Anyways, you’ve probably tried compatibility mode already but if not, do this:
1.Right Click the Rainbow Six Icon and try “Run as Administrator”
If not move on:
2.Right Click on the Rainbow Six Icon and click Properties
4.Go to the Compatibility tab
5.Try XP first, Then 2000, then 98, trying between each switch.
If not move on:
6.You could also try adding a check to the box next to “run in 640×480 screen resolution”
If not, well I’d try looking online for your specific issue. Sorry I can’t be of more help, but I lost my disk years ago.
