New map pack dispatching soon for R6:V?
The rumour mill is churning away again. In this month’s edition of OXM (in the US presumably), there is talk of a new downloadable pack coming to the Marketplace in March for Rainbow 6: Vegas. Included are several maps and new game types, apparently.
There will actually be ten new maps, and two new game types. There is no current mention of new equipment such as weapons and armour, but it would be strange not to include at least a couple of new items. All this for 800 MS Points; almost too good to be true.
The maps include “Red Lotus”, “Wartown”, “Marshalling Yard”, “Neon Graveyard” and “Presidio”, with obviously more to be included. The new game types are “Assassination” and “Conquest”. The former game type sees your team having to defend your VIP, whilst trying to take out the other team’s VIP. The last time I played a game of that nature was way back on the GameCube, “007: Agent Under Fire”, and that was great fun with only four players. The latter mode is apparently similar to that of Halo. Each team needs to control three specific locations in order to win; some of you will likely have fond memories playing this mode.
All in all it seems a good deal. The 800 Points is a little surprising when you consider they charged 1200 Points for a GR:AW pack, but maybe they have learnt their lesson and offering it at a solid £5/$10 is the result. Don’t forget that this is still a rumour, since we have not heard from Ubisoft at this time. If it is true, will any of you be buying it?
Thanks nofear360 for submitting.
Probably, yeah.
heeeeeeeeeeeeell yeah!
nah…multiplayer sucks. Characters run like theyve been shot in the balls.
Yes, because we all know what makes multiplayer awesome is how the characters run.
I’ll be the first to download it…..
Besides Geometry Wars Evolved this is my most played game. The big question for me is, will these downloadable maps be the continuation of the story mode?
I’ll definately be downloading this, i really hope that it includes a few new weapons though
Hell YEAHHHH, IZ NAZJ
Yes YES YES!!! Presidio … I hate that map, but with the multi fire mode on the MP5 it should be much better! Death from above on SpaceDrone!
I feel a dedicated server comming on!!!!
How many maps are in Vegas right now?
10 maps is a hell of a lot.
There’s 10 maps at the moment in Vegas, I can’t honestly see ubisoft doubling that number for 800pts I’d like it to happen, but I think we’ll see 2 dlc packs.
I am so glad that ubi focused on fixing their flagship feature (face masking) before focusing on shameless releases of paid content. Oh…wait…
This is good news, I cant wait ..
Yes more maps would definitely interest me.
Definately. If this is correct, then I’m glad to see the return of Conquest (I presume it’s Total Conquest like RS3, with the 3 Sat dishes you capture). That was always the best multiplayer game, with some intense battles trying to capture a dish.
Assination sounds like a good idea, similar to the countrstrike VIP, but with a VIP on each side, should be interesting.
Lets hope they also patch some of the problems that cause lock ups. When two players kill each other at the same time, both consoles freeze. It needs sorting as do some other issues like the host having more control over switching players etc when a server is full.
Looking forward to it.
great news!
“Shameless releases?”
Dude, WAKE…UP!!!
HELL YEAH!!! PRESIDIO IS BACK. That was the best RB6 map ever.
they should’ve better patched the game
would make sense
give us Garage already.
cool
