Talk:Rainbow Six: Vegas 2

M1911

Whoever decided to not include an good ole 1911 in the game should be smacked with a 2x4. Also, why do so many of the guns perform exactly the same? Having a huge list of guns to choose from is useless if they have the same stats-S&Wshooter 03:47, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

-Yeah, the selection of handguns in the Rainbow Six games were pretty weaksauce. No, you can't have combat pistols like the M1911A1 or SIG P226, but you can have a Desert Eagle and Mk. 23! Sheesh. And I really missed the M4/M16 in R6V1. That was one of my favorite weapons in the older games; the Barrett M468/REC-7 was nice to have in R6V2.

Yeah, doom on them for putting in Desert Eagles, Mark 23s, and XM8s in place of 1911s, P226s, and M4s. As far as the REC7 (which they could have at least made the carbine version instead of the full-length rifle version...) goes, I wanted the M4A1 specifically, not a REC7 or HK416. No matter how many fancy-smancy gas piston AR carbines or "SCARs" the firearms manufacturer community makes, there will always be M4s on the nearest rack in every SOF armory.

-Apparently there was going to be a P226 and a FN 5.7 handgun in R6 Vegas (according to pre-release renders) but they were cut from the final product.

-whats wrong with the MK.23? their a special operations unit. The Mark 23 was designed as a special operation sidearms. i agree the desert eagle shouldn't have gone in. i would have much preferred the P226 or the 5.7. The M4 would have been much better then the M468. I also would have liked the G36K with a rail system as opposed to the G36C, but i guess in compact quarters, it makes more sense.

The Special Operations community despises the Mark 23 because it's so huge. No one outside of TV and video games uses it. Spartan198 15:18, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Hehehe. An anon user deleted their own comment. Thought that no one using the Mk23 was your opinion. Like the abysmal sales and general sorry reception don't mean anything. Hey, VG spec-ops always use Desert Eagles, too.--PistolJunkie 05:22, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

Not to mention the repeated purchase and use (and often standardization, in the case of the MEU(SOC) pistol) of 1911-type pistols in spite of the readily-available status of hi-cap .45s like the USP, HK45, and aforementioned Mark 23. Spartan198 16:26, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

Why not have the Beretta Cougar .45 like Rainbow used in TOM CLANCY'S ORIGINAL NOVEL? M14fanboy

Because that would make sense. But the M8000 isn't tactacool, apparently.--PistolJunkie 01:44, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

I guess not, but having a P99 and USP that have IDENTICAL STATS IS?!? I dunno what happened, but Rainbow Six has been torn so far away from the Original Novel, which is still better then all the games. M14fanboy

AK-47?

Has anyone noticed that the in-game model of the AK-47 is not using a 7.62x39mm magazine? My first thought was that it was an AK-74 (which would explain the similar stopping power to the AKS-74U) but it lacks the 74's flash hider. My next theory was a Norinco Type 84S, but the mag doesn't look curved enough to be the one used in the 84S. Also it lacks the circular front sights that are on the Chinese AK derivatives. It's not an AKM judging from the lack of ribs on the top of the receiver. What is this gun?

Keep in mind that this is the same game where every single 92FS is equipped with a skeleton hammer and has the safety perpetually on. (Just noticed that, adding a note in the article). Is it just me, or is this franchise getting more lax with the details as time goes on?--PistolJunkie 23:22, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

I have updated the page. The AK-47 is now down as an 'Unknown AK Variant' By the way, I just noticed that the alleged AK-47 in-game uses the same magazines as the AKS-74U in-game. It may be one of the early prototypes of the AK-74 without the flash hider. File:Http://world.guns.ru/assault/ak74proto.jpg

Could be, as I believe the AKS-74 in game isn't meant to be an AKMSU. M14fanboy

AI L96A1

Correction: It *is* in the PC version. It kicks ass. Why it was listed as not being in the PC version is beyond me.

Pistols

Since Desert Eagle and Raging Bull are the strongest handguns in this game, which one do you prefer? And what gun did the backstabbing bastard Gabriel used at the end of the game?

Counter Strike

Anyone noticed that you can use nearly every gun from Counter Strike in this game?

rifle scope

what the hell you can have a rifle scope on a shot gun in this that would be so useless --Armyguy277 14:00, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Because contrary to your seemingly COD-based mentality, shot can easily go 50+ meters, albeit with a lot of spread, and a scope would help you see, identify, and aim at potential threats which could be potentially killed by a load of shot. --Chris 23:52, 13 March 2010 (UCT)

Which leads me on to one of my favorite things about this game, shotguns with RANGE. Thank god someone got it right. 142.167.207.28
