What we are looking at today may actually be the first Rainbow Six game that many people played!
Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Vegas (2006/2007) Xbox 360, PC, PlayStation Portable, PlayStation 3The best way to think of Rainbow Six Vegas is as a whole new ball game for the series as this in many ways is actually serving as a reboot of the series. Ubisoft had a clear vision for what they wanted Rainbow Six to be going forward.
As you would expect the story is set in Vegas one of the tourist hot spots of the world. The basics of the story are that Las Vegas is going to be hit with one of the worst terrorist attacks of all time and only Rainbow team can stop it. One of the interesting things about the story is that you experience the majority of it in game and not with lengthy cut scenes. It actually works very well and immerses you in the action.
Gameplay wise, Ubisoft really changed things up as Rainbow Six Vegas feels like no other Rainbow Six game. While you could still give orders to your teammates (which you did with the d pad) things like regenerating health, 3rd person cover shooter sections and the fact that missions had checkpoints gave the game a much more action packed feel than any other game in the series. One of the coolest things they added was using ropes to move up and down the building all the while shooting! Gameplay was nice and tight and for many was that perfect blend of being action packed while also offering tactical based gameplay.
Rainbow Six Vegas was a huge hit. It was very well received, people love the single player campaign and multiplayer was very popular as well. In all, it was a great reboot of the series and actually introduced many new players to the series as well.
What Could Treyarch Have Instore For Call Of Duty 2018?
We have talked about this a little before as a few weeks back it was revealed that Treyarch posted a job listing for someone to work on the next Call Of Duty game and that knowledge of current military weapons was something that was desirable.
Well, 2018 is Treyarch’s turn at taking the helm of the Call Of Duty ship (with Infinity Ward getting another crack at it in 2019) and so far everything is looking like it is going to be either set in the modern day or the future. While any talk of setting a Call Of Duty game in the future may fill some fans with dread. There were many of us who actually really enjoyed Infinite Warfare, but the overall critical and commercial success were not what Activision would have liked.
That was Infinity Ward who made that. The last game that we got from Treyarch was Black Ops III which many people actually class as one of the best games in the series. It offered futuristic gameplay, but it did not take things as far as Infinite Warfare, it was that happy medium which everyone seemed to enjoy.
We do not think that we are going to get a Black Ops IV. But we do feel that this year’s game is going to be very heavily story driven so we have a feeling that it is actually going to be set in the present and focus on the current problems that the world is facing with international terrorism. Treyarch has done a great job with the Call Of Duty series and while we are still having a blast with Call Of Duty WWII, we do have one eye on what Treyarch is doing with Call Of Duty 2018.
