The thing that always struck me about his books is that no one is ever kind of a fuckup in an organization. My dad and grandpa always had trouble taking his "THESE WERE THE FINEST HUMANS AMERICA HAD TO OFFER" speeches about the military without snickering. Getting drafted and not being special forces gives you a whole different perspective, oddly enough. Although now that I think about it, Vegas 2's plot was about a fuckup. Which was actually pretty similar to Rogue Spear which I also liked - that one was about a guy who was disqualified from Rainbow, I think?

Statutory Ape posted:ya we get it you identify with losers I yam what I yam E: The plot of the Vegas games is Vegas 1: You are chasing a mexican drug lady when all of a sudden Vegas is attacked by 10 billion mercenaries. You kill them all with 2 other guys. It turns out one of your squadmates in the prologue is a traitor, the other one dies. I think the drug baron lady escapes too? Extremely forgettable story wise. Vegas 2: You are a new customizable PC now because no one cared about the first game's protagonist. You get a prologue years in the past where the future traitor, apparently your friend and protege, screws up a hostage rescue by being overly aggressive. You decide you're too old for this poo poo and you're going to not shoot people anymore. Suddenly you're in the present, out of retirement, and have to kill 10 billion mercenaries with the same 2 squadmates from game 1. Again. Also with a co-op partner if you want. He's called Knight, you're called Bishop. You kill the traitor by yourself and save America and Vegas. Ding Chavez "punishes" you for going off by yourself with a promotion to something. I forget.

Nah the ending of 3 is explicitly a choice between 'continue power fantasy' and 'it's time to walk away' and the player is told in no uncertain terms that one is a wrong choice. 4 places the choice at the beginning rather than the end of the story (it's executed in a better way, but I actually like the idea of 3 better because both the PC and player are being told 'time to leave the fantasy island behind').

That's basically it but whatever. You get to shoot bad guys with cool guns and the breach and cover system were actually good. And again, blindfiring was superb and when I played it first on the 360 I got the achievement "I like the sound it makes" for killing 150 terrorists with a shotgun. It was the first RainbowSix game I played where shotguns weren't garbage tier (coming from the old PC tittles up to RS3). Vegas 2 was a console game but it had shitloads of pretty princess options and different armor sets etc...

Dapper_Swindler posted:thats what i have been doing, he keeps nailing me with the plasma rounds even behind cover. Yeah they kind of home in and any exposed body part is fair game. There's a kind of shallow ravine near where he spawns that has a series of rocks that you can lay down behind, if you position your team members in front of you then all you have to do is wait until he's lining up a shot and follow the laser. If you have Fallen Ghosts, the M82 they give you works wonders because it's a semi-auto rifle, so you may be able to get two shots on him per appearance. I could only ever get one with the HTI but I am dogshit at this game, so your mileage may vary.

For Predator call in rebels & reinforcements, use an LMG and sniper so you don't have to use the ammo box. use a bunch of rocks to hide behind. I made a video you can skip through https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZUl3MXmQ6I

Other tips for fighting the Predator: - NEVER revive your AI buddies. They'll always manage to revive themselves and more importantly, you'll almost definitely be killed if you stick your neck out. Be patient. - Don't shoot the Predator while he's running around cloaked. He's only vulnerable when he's completely uncloaked, and only for a shot or two then. - If you don't like the rocks, there are two large trees pretty close to the ammo box. When you start the mission and run to the ammo box, I believe they're on your right. Hang around and between them (mostly between them) for really good cover. - When in doubt, get back behind cover. Don't risk taking the shot if you're being targeted. You'll likely get hit and killed and have to start the whole loving thing over.

So basically as it stands at the moment - every time I launch the game the opposite of the previous mode I played between main campaign and ghost mode gives the impression it's going to start a new game. Ghost mode still then launches okay, but campaign terrifyingly loads a new character creation screen, then slowly loads my character, then when I select that character it loads my 250 hour game, but with no textures and poo poo but that's okay because - all my keybinds and audio settings and hud settings are lost each time so I have to reset them every time so that gives the game time to load in all the assets - stage 2 of the R6 mission, where you have to meet Twitch at the guys apartment is no longer triggering. I've done it the first time with just shotguns and QCQ, but now in extreme with no hud, I can complete the first part but I just never get the call. It even says I've completed the first two parts, so I'm doing it right, it just won't trigger the third. - no hud can kiss my rear end. Everything else is kind of okay if you hate yourself I guess, but not knowing what throwable item you've got selected is just stupid. - if all I get out of this is some voice emote and a t-shirt then I don't care, but is that all you get? I'm reading about some gloves/cqc animation. This is a pretty impressively tested patch, especially given basic poo poo like not savings settings and appearing like you've lost you save games haven't just been hotfixed yet. e: Also, do resources work with no hud? I can see stuff but it won't let me collect them. markgreyam fucked around with this message at 17:33 on Aug 10, 2018 |

You get the gloves with a unique CQC animation just from beating the mission at all. If you've done it once, you should have the gloves. I'm not sure if they are character bound or account bound though, so you may have to run through it again to get it on a specific character. I know when redoing the missions the opening radio stopped playing for me too, but just going to the truck/apartment worked fine. Resources should work with no HUD. Are you hitting the right button? The button that you can't actually confirm is the right button?

Yeah I don't change the activate button, I can still get into vehicles etc. I'll have to check for the gloves, thanks. I actually did go to the building but Twitch wasn't there. Maybe she'll appear if I just wander on in anyway. E: I've got the gloves. I give up. I'll try for 25 cages on Extreme but otherwise whatever. All of these add-on missions have been garbage but at least they were all doable as opposed to buggy garbage. markgreyam fucked around with this message at 19:04 on Aug 10, 2018 |

Here's a few tips for the Rainbow Six mission. Barring any bugs you encounter, it works pretty well. For the little shack where you get ambushed, just stay in the building. Use your explosive drone and mortars to take out choppers and cars. Let your squad and rebels deal with the enemies. You won't even have to fire a shot. For the big building at the end, hang out on the other side of river behind the shrubs. Use sync shots to to take out all the enemies. This will take some time as you need to do it in a way that doesn't trigger anything. There's a group of 4 guys that make a circle around the building. Save them for last. Mark 3 of them and you get the last one. Once the outside is clear, take the nearby chopper and land on the roof of the building. Land it on the lower roof. This is the part that can be tricky. Slowly walk off the roof, hugging the wall on the way down. If you do it right you won't take any damage. Clear the building. One thing to remember is that you don't have clear every room. Just take the most direct path to the dude. Take a shotgun and stand back. Blast the wooden panels open. You can have your teammates go in first, or call in a rebel diversion in that room. Anything to take the heat off you. Anyway, once you get to the dude you have to rescue, when you exit the room, you'll see a metal door. Open it, and you'll see the helicopter you placed there. Hop in, make sure the rainbow lady and her brother are on the chopper, and fly to the rally point. It's slow, it's cheap, but it works. edit: For the challenge with the rebel prisons, fast travel to La Cruz Bravo. South of that is a monastery with 7 prison cells. Free them, fast travel back to Bravo, rinse repeat. I just did the one for the PS4 task force this way. Jose Oquendo fucked around with this message at 07:08 on Aug 12, 2018 |

Okay so apparently for the second time (and presumably third, I'm not there yet) you do the solo mission you have to manually trigger the second archangel mission. In hindsight that makes sense I guess because you're redoing a mission but ugh whatever.

You can replay the entire game if you like, you'll get into Tier mode before you kill off all the bad guys for what it's worth. Tier 1 mode is a lovely long grind though tbh.
