Came out today. Got it today. Played the first half of the campaign so far today.

I really dig it. Graphics are much better. I'd say the sound quality is better as well. The level designs, to me, are much more fun this time around.

Anyone else got it?

    I want to but it's computer upgrade time. I bought the first Vegas and it was a no-go....been sitting on the shelf since. It was just a matter of time I guess.

    I still play Raven Shield online for now.

    You meant to say you CAN play RS:V2 on PS1, Mark? :p

    I got mine this afternoon, but I don't think I'll have any time to play it till the weekend..
    I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

    F - Hell I didn't even know I could use a keyboard and mouse with it until that other thread.....I'm stoked. I CANNOT use a joystick as I have borderline useless hand-eye coordination with them. I'm a mouse man.

    I rented it, glad I did cause I don't think I will buy this. To think I was going to blind buy it on Thursday. I just don't like having to control other men in the game. Everything else is great about the game. The online playing of this game is not very good right now. It kept telling me that the server was full. I was finally able to start and I got stuck with what sounded like 11yr olds (they had mics).

    Hmm RB6 has always been based on controlling your characters. So for me that is nothing new.

    I did notice they ramped up their graphics. It looks very good. Plus I think the AI has improved a lot. But overall it really it just what it says. Vegas 2...nothing too new.

    done single player - the ending is not as exciting as I like it to be. But, it still gives me a run of for my money. Onto next, what's in the horizon? COD5?

    I've always been impressed with RB6 games. What I like is if you fire the different guns at something and look at the marks it leaves,they actually match what kind of patter that gun would make in real life. Not a big deal but that's a detail that most games don't go into.

    I still do the occasional bit of terrorist hunt. Some friends and I have been doing runs lately with retarded self-imposed rules... like pistols only, snipers only, shotguns only (by far the hardest), etc.

    My 'tag is TheReverendSlim. Shoot me a friend req if you ever want to play.

    Got this game going through a yamaha 663 using the optical cable . I've noticed sometimes at the beginning of the Import/Export section, my subs are rumbling ,almost sounds like the wind is blowing really hard ,sometimes it doesn't do it at all there. Anyone notice this also?

    Yes, I noticed that as well. Its annoying, but I think its part of the pregame ambience.

    Yeah, I hear it, but it doesn't annoy me. It's like that damn dog barking when you start Presidio. Sometimes it does it, sometimes it doesn't.
