Not too much has been posted about the game, and seeing as how we're giving one away it's getting to the point where I can't wait! The XBL Marketplace has the trailer up, but you can also check it right here:

Wow, I really like the achievements. Pretty much all of them can be completed online in both adversarial and/or co-op. They still have a few that carried over, such as the ranks and vision cam.

But yea, can't wait.

I like it because most of the achievements are not forcing you to play in ranked servers. I could care less about me TrueSkill, but progressing through the ranks in singleplayer sounds a bit better -- especially through coop.

To be honest, I really wasn't planning on picking up this one. There's just something about "Vegas" that doesn't appeal to me for some reason - I liked the other settings in the older titles, but Vegas, again? Seems more like 1.5 unless the gameplay is really improved upon.

We'll see - it's fun doing coop, but that's about it for me.

I'll be picking this up. I was just 2 or 3 bars short of getting elite. So you know I spent a lot of time in TH with guys. I'm pretty sure that works out to a cheap price per hour for my $60.

I'll definitely pick this up(or maybe a certain website will award me a copy ;)). I think the achievements are ho-hum. I hate "Get X amount of kills with X weapon" achievements, but at least it can be done in friendly servers.

Well, I thought the whole bullet penetration thing would've made the game better. But no, it's made it worse. Especially in no respawn matches. You can't take cover on a door way or corner without being killed... It's utter bull#*&%! Bullet penetration in a game that utilizes cover is stupid. period.

I'd have to agree with that - Va13ntine jumped in & we finished up the sp mode (well, for me anyway - that's another thing that bugs me), and that was something we both agreed was kind of lame - there was no real determination on what was penetrable and what wasn't unless you've been shot through it!

I could've done without it, but overall I can live with it I guess. There is a few things that make you think WTF, but for the most part I actually found myself liking this game.

Jung is a friggin' moron, too. :P

Yeah, I can live with. It's just frustrating as hell since campers now have the upper hand. But whatever, I'll still be playing for a good while.

Well, I finally got my dad to call in about my Xbox over heating so he'll be sending it in this weekend. There goes a 100 bucks. As soon as it gets back my dad has assured me he'll be buying Vegas 2. I went through the co-op campaign with Zypher and I freaking love it. I enjoyed the campaign in Vegas 2 way more than in the first Vegas. Usually I don't like campaign modes of games at all, unless it's Halo. So I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this. I can't wait to do some multi-player with the iG family in a few weeks once I get it!

Looks like Vegas got a small patch overhaul! Check out the fixes below:

Ubisoft Forums
 

A Title Update is now available for XBOX 360 fixing many of the issues communicated by you, the community, and includes many gameplay tweaks based on your feedback. Major props to everyone who has been communicating directly to me and posting on the forums with community feedback! It was YOU who helped us deliver.

PS3 & PC users have received optimizations and stability fixes in a patch available on launch day. An update for the PS3 with the same game tweaks is currently in the works as well.

Here is a list of what comes in the XBOX 360 Title Update:



>>> IMPROVEMENTS <<<


Weapon Switch
Swapping to & from Pistols are now faster in Multiplayer.

Sound Loops
Optimized sound bank to improve weapon firing and helicopter sound clips that loop over and over.

Pings
Servers now update their pings more often so that players have a more accurate value of server performance.

Team Leader Respawn Modification
Spawn Shield is shorter when respawning with the Leader.

XP Modifiers
When there are more people on a team than the other, there is an overall XP modifier applied to all XP gained during the game.

Outfitting
By pressing the start button, players now have access to the outfitting menu in observer mode.

Team Deathmatch Respawn Modification
Respawning in Team Deathmatch now work like regular Deathmatch (random points throughout the map) which intensifies gameplay and minimizes spawn camping/trapping.

Faster Respawns
Faster respawns for Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch. You no longer have to wait a full 10 seconds!

Custom Search
Players who enter a room using custom search then exit will be brought back to an automatic search with the same criteria.





>>> FIXES <<<

Rank Reset Glitch
Fixed. Players will be able to use their Xbox guide during the game loading without risk of losing their rank.

Private First Class - Achievement
If you are ranked Private First Class or above, you will automatically get the achievement after the title update is complete and you load your gamer profile.

Freedom Shall Prevail - Achievement
If you’ve passed all checkpoints on Story Mode on Realistic and finished the game, you will automatically get the achievement after the title update is complete and you load your gamer profile.

That Wasn’t So Hard - Ribbon
Your ribbon now unlocks when you get the achievement.

Light Machinegun Sound Glitch
When firing continuously with any light machinegun, the sound of the weapon will no longer get cut off.

Civilians & Hostages on Tactical Map
No longer are displayed as terrorists.

Shield Teleport Glitch
Players can no longer teleport when trying to take cover with a shield

Out of Map Glitch
Players can no longer cover-peek into each other to raise a team mate above their heads that allows them to walk into areas outside the designated map.

Friend Invite in Ranked Matches
Inviting friends in Ranked Matches now work correctly.

Custom Face
Previously, Custom faces were sometimes copied over to another player’s face. This is no longer the case. Custom faces will display the proper faces.

Radar Jammer
Radar Jammer now work for clients, not just hosts.

XP Farming
That one famous area in ACT 1 “Ambush” will no longer allow XP Farming.

Observer Mode
Players will no longer be stuck in the respawn screen at 0 seconds while in observer mode.

Weapon Restriction
The weapon restriction configuration is no longer kept in Terrorist Hunt, Story and Co-op Story.

Custom Camo 3 Save
The colour and pattern of Custom Camo 3 now saves correctly.

Thank GOD. Most if not all of these things should have been caught at QA testing. Lets hope Vegas runs a little smoother from now on. Who's up for some?

QA Testers are the least paid in the Gaming Industry, I don't expect much from them. :lol: But yeah, it's a needed update.
