Rainbow Six Vegas 2 preview for the PC

Rainbow Six Vegas ended with unresolved revelations and a job still to be finished. Betrayed by one of Team Rainbow's own squad members, Gabriel Novak, the game ended with the initial terrorist missile threat thwarted, but the defected Gabriel still at large after his chopper was shot down near the Hoover dam. Rainbow Six Vegas 2 will pick up the plot and pursue the less than angelic Gabriel and his terrorist backers.

The action heads straight back to Sin City and we're promised an even bigger battleground in this sequel that will bring in more Vegas hot spots (or approximations of the real sites) and the dirty backstreets behind the glitzy facade. We've been to the Sahara buffet room and we can tell you that there's a side to this ultimate pleasure town that no-one needs to see! But hopefully Team Rainbow will skip lukewarm hash browns and tuck into the sequel's vastly more intelligent and tooled-up terrorists instead.

This time you won't have such a technological advantage over the enemy organisation. They've been on the terrornet and ordered a next-day delivery of new military gadgets that will make them twice as deadly. In Rainbow Six Vegas you wore them down with riot shields, thermal goggles and night vision, but in Vegas 2 these will all be available to your foes as well, making darkness more of a colleague than a friend and headshots far more challenging when the shields are up.
