I'm downloading Rainbow Six Vegas right now from D2D & at 550kb/sec it's gonna take a little while (bout 2 hours says firefox) so I figured I'd come here & ask those that have played it already what they think about it, if they have any tips about faster performance, easier gameplay etc. Anything I should look for, anything I shouldn't do, was it worth the money (or would it be worth the money if you got it P2P). Really any info at all would be appreciated.

*Edit:* And what's up with a release patch like BF2 & 2142? Can't anybody make sure the game works before they ship it anymore?

The game is nice, tho it has several bugs and graphic errors. The single player mode is quite interesting i went through it in two days. Didn't tried the Internet Multiplayermode and imho its not worth the money.

Vegas
IGN Review

IGN Conclusion: Rainbow Six: Vegas isn't for the original RB6 faithful that need realism with their shooting. But it is for fans of fast action that like intense firefights. Most PC fans would have rather seen this game in a new franchise, this style of play is likely here to stay. The good news out of it is that while it's not the same tactical gameplay that we know and love, Vegas is a lot of fun when taken as an action shooter. It's not perfect, but level design and consistent amounts of engagements keep the game moving at an pretty damn entertaining click. The new cover and control systems work well and the single player experience as a whole is a lot of fun.

That is if you can get the game to run well. It's a serious system hog and those with older (and even middle-range) systems may have a hell of a time making the game run well and look smooth. Sadly multiplayer has been a big problem for us at this point. While we've found games and finished matches, we haven't left any server of our own accord and haven't managed to get through more than two matches in a row without dropping out.

If they can get the game patched up it could be a great experience regardless of its departure from the original PC formula. Until then, it's a good and exciting game with some noticeable problems.

GameSpot Review

GameSpot Conclusion: While Rainbow Six Vegas bears little resemblance to its illustrious PC progenitor, that's no reason to write off this engrossing action game. Rainbow Six Vegas is a highly tactical and dynamic first-person action game that fans of realistic shooters should definitely check out.

thats a review of it off my clan website, we currently have a server for it aswell as bf2 and the origional rvs

multigaming clans

Muppet (I mean that in a loving way).

I "obtained" it but the methods of running it don't seem to be working so I'm waiting on a fixed .exe, which thinking about it should be done by now so I'm going hunting.

Ya Direct2Drive is legit: http://www.direct2drive.com/ but that Limewire thing was just way too fuckin funny.
I have a bad feeling about the game since a patch was released like 2 days after the game was but the graphics really do look badass (better be if I have to wait 2 weeks to see them). I guess I'll just have to play lots of BF2 til I get my new machine.

_{once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.}
