Interestingly, though, this is also likely to be the series' last outing to Vegas. Vegas reached a lot of new people, but we're hoping that with Vegas 2 we can reach even more people, so that people can really enjoy a very good shooter." That's a bit of the stigma that's been surrounding Rainbow Six for a long time. "We're hoping that we can communicate better that it is accessible to everybody," says Therien "that you don't need to be an army officer to understand how the game works.
I wish my party guests would 'leave no traces'. There ain't no party like a Rainbow party, then. "If you've never heard of Vegas before, you can still very much enjoy the game." However, there's still a question mark over whether Rainbow Six will ever be able to win over players from the likes of Counter-Strike or Call of Duty 4 - for whom Rainbow Six's slightly dated graphics are off-putting, and its realism and attention to detail are somewhat intimidating. "If you have never played Vegas before, you can start with Vegas 2 - it's got a beginning, and a very good ending," he says. No, the big question here is whether Vegas 2 can bring new players into the fold. "It's just more of the same good stuff," says Therien. The game is a quintessential sequel - a new storyline, some obvious tweaking and some cool new features, but leaving unfixed all the things which were unbroken. The big question for Vegas 2 isn't whether fans of the original will like it - that's almost a given. It's also internally going to look for opponents who make more sense for you, and it gives a little more flexibility to the search engine to come up with better results." Popping Smoke "It's going to look for features you change first, when hunting for a game, instead of coming up with an entire list of results that don't make much sense to start with. "We just made it a little less intolerant," says Therien. The lobby has been tidied up a little bit, fitting in more information without getting too cluttered, while under the bonnet the match-making engine is now better at returning sensible results.
The final tweak to the multiplayer is the match-making system. It's a straightforward mode, enhanced greatly by the addition of some nice, clear indicators for the position of the bomb and the bomb-planting sites on each player's HUD. The attacking team picks up the bomb, and must choose whether to plant it at Site A or Site B the defending team, of course, needs either to prevent the plant or defuse the bomb once it's planted. The other new mode, Demolition ( see it on Eurogamer TV), will also be familiar to any fans of online shooters - it's essentially Counter-Strike's bombing mission.
