AWESOME!!

That Creative Director has a gay piercing. I bet this game will be good though.

I heard him refer to matchmaking. This really makes me nervous, because one of my favorite aspects of RSV and RSV2's multiplayer was the hosted games that allowed for customization of games, as well as the ability to weed out undesirable players (people with modded controllers, no mics, nuisances, glitchers, etc.). I really hope they haven't gone with matchmaking for this game.

I'm also not liking the sound of the tactical spawns. I don't mind being able to spawn on a buddy (although in that instance I would hope they don't grant a spawn shield). Most people who played Rainbow hate random respawns, as it eliminates an element of tactical planning for matches. Hopefully this will be something that can be turned off.

The sand table is an interesting concept, but I could see it becoming a nuisance as well. Personally, I always like modes like Terrorist Hunt, Survival Mode (MW3), or Horde Mode (Gears) to learn maps as you can better judge the effectiveness of a location on the map by actually facing enemies upon it.

I'm a little weary of some of these changes, but overall am very excited for this game.

Love it!

Huge fan of the multiplayer in Vegas 1 and 2. I have incredibly high hopes for this game, and it's good to see they are bringing in some new interesting features rather than trying to copy CoD by adding killstreaks or some other nonsense.

i'm new to gi the website anyway. i didn't really hear any important multiplayer news other than better spawning and map tips. what i want to see is better map design, split-screen sign in, story/objective base co-op terrorist hunt, grenades that don't do damage through walls, a better more detailed mini-map unlike rsv2 where if someone was shooting you, you could't tell if he/she was shooting from upstairs or downstairs, just an idea faction against faction (patriots vs terrorist and the possibility of faction based guns), after launch support (more dlc/updates), and overall polished game.

as a relative noob to modern gaming, is this series something that is satisfying to a single-player type of bloke?

Awesome. So can't wait for Rainbow 6 to come back. Makes me wanna go back and play the Vegas games.

i love vegas 1 . never tried vegas 2 but from what i played from vegas 1 i loved it over all. I hope they go back to having a squad in single player though. I loved planning an attack and rescueing hostages. Only make the AI well designed and maybe have some variety within the missions like maybe a bank heist or something. That would incorporate splitscreen and multiplayer campaign also which i am also a huge fan of :P.

Finally! "Sandtable" sounds awesome as well as "Commander"!!!, sweet stuff. of course that this is for those who use com's and tactics. very important in this type game. wish that there was these type of things in things like BF & COD.

so looking forward to their vision and game mechanics on this one.

~tactical all the way! :)

Rainbow Six mulitplayer has always been top notch.  These new features sound great, especially the Sandtable.  Glad to see some of the tactical planning coming back to the franchise.  The fact it can be used in mulitplayer is even better.

can't wait )when's the beta !

Oh if you guys need some good input from an experienced vegas2 tdm gamer give me a shout )

Is it just me or does the guy on the right have massive hands?

This sounds great! Of course how effectively they execute their ideas remains to be seen. I have faith though.

Can't wait!

Wow Larouche said "headsets" like Head-SETS instead of HEAD-sets so i thought for a moment he said "have sex"

This game is beginning to become one of the small amount of FPSs that I'm actually anticipating.

Oh, I'm too hungover to watch a friggin' 14 minute video. All I hope is that they keep Terrorist Hunt.
