Highlights:
• More Multiplayer – The highly
acclaimed multiplayer mode in Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Vegas has been
upgraded to include 13 new maps with more intense face-offs, two new
adversarial modes, more rewards, and easier access to matches using the
improved and intuitive matchmaking system.
• Unprecedented Customizable Experience
– Create your own identity that persists through both the single player
and multiplayer modes and progresses along with you. Reap the benefits of
your single player rewards in multiplayer and vice versa.
• Vastly Improved Co-op Mode – Turn
single player mode into co-op mode at any time, just by jumping into the game.
Now you and a friend can jump into a single player game and assist without any
change to the story. The single player maps and storyline were created with
co-op in mind, meaning every map has multiple entry points and the story is
unaffected.

night vision, and shields – not to mention a multitude of varying tactics
– all of which are guaranteed to give you a new playing experience every

able to outsmart your enemies by taking advantage of intelligence
opportunities, such as thermal scanning.

terrorists more effectively using 11 new weapons. New camouflage,
clothing and gear allow for the ultimate customizations.
