Rainbow Six Vegas (PC) ... Possibly the Best FPS of this year on PC

I am a FPS lover, but the game does not love my 6600GT.

btw , how different is th game from GRAW, i have played that.

I didn't like GRAW..... Vegas is completely different from GRAW in some aspects like team-based gameplay mode and superior to all others !!!!

Brilliant.This game does deserve an applause.I must say that it's the best Rainbow Six game I have ever played.It's heavily demanding on the system.Played it on my friend's 7900GT & it looked stunning.Being the first Unreal 3 engine sporting game on the PC,I feel the looks of the game has some elements of Gears of War being present in it.Not to mention the hide & shoot style which again has been picked up a la Gears of War style.Nonetheless,it sports excellent HDR lighting effects.Character models are pretty good but the AI is somewhat lousy IMO.

The control systems seems to have got a facelift.You can now sneak behind a wall using the right click & then press the right arrow key to sneak & fire.Same goes for a blind fire which can be done when you are taking cover behind a wall or box.Commanding the teams too is pretty easy.You point your corsair towards a certain point at then command you team mates to move accordingly.Plus you can even heal them when they are shot.

Overall I would say a job well done.Pretty happy with the graphics & the gameplay department too doesn't have much complaints.

Vegas is a new generation game and u shoudnt be surprised on how good it is.

^^i agree . lots of new gen games r coming in 2007....fps such as crysis, halo 2 are yet 2 come

Well... I must say my 6600GT is handling this game pretty well, I am getting decent frame rates in mid-high settings in 800x600, and game looks damn good!!

^^ Then i'll try the demo first .If th PC demo exists, i hope.

well , ur card can definitely run it at medium settings and 800*600 .

how big is the game. how long it took to finish

its of 2 dvds , so .....................u can imagine

Click to expand...

This does not in any way represent how long the game can be

yeah, for example take NFS MW & NFS Carbon.

MW weighs @ 2.84GB , while NFS Caron weighs 4.5+GB (not sure, forgot, but its above this for sure).
MW was longer (had more missions) than Carbon .

^^dunno why carbon was 5.31 GB ( i still hv it installed )??.....took me less than 2 days 2 finish the career.....maybe bcoz of the detailed cars??

Yeah carbon is 5.31 GB and shorter(in career) than most wanted..

if u know about shader levels and new effects like hdr n all that n all the new shi*...........then u'll know why carbon is that bigger than most wanted .
If u think meshes of objects(like cars or buildings) have a large size ......then u're hell wrong .
I can create a mustang gt in less than 2 mb

Most of the space are taken due to texturing. One high poly model and with high quality texturing takes around 300 or more MB. The size can be reduce if procedural texturing it will reduce the size around half of the size. One example use of procedural texturing is Roboblitz.
