Synopsis

• Bishop
  Bishop is the main protagonist that the player controls and guides throughout the events of Rainbow Six: Vegas 2. His/her appearance and gender vary, depending on the intended look by the player. Either way, Bishop is still called "sir" in the game. He or she is a high-ranking veteran of the Rainbow organization, and is an instructor at the organization's training academy when the game first begins. Bishop is referred five years after the first mission in the French Alps, Bishop returns from retirement as the team leader of Jung and Michael. Bishop and Chavez are old friends and served together in the Army.

• Knight
  If co-op mode is enabled, Knight accompanies Bishop on missions, whose appearance also varies depending on how the player desires him/her to look. His/her role, however, is limited as merely a co-op player, and unlike some games, such as Gears of War, Knight is not critical to the single player campaign's story, as elaborated on the Eurogamer review. Playing as Knight also allows the player to unlock co-op achievements.

• Gabriel Nowak
  The game's main antagonist, a traitorous former Rainbow operative revealed as a mole in Rainbow Six: Vegas. Though cunning and ambitious, Nowak's gung-ho recklessness earns him the disrespect of fellow teammates, ultimately leading to Bishop passing him up for promotion in favor of Logan, which therefore leads to Nowak betraying the Rainbow organization with the assistance of big-time terrorist ringleaders. Nowak betrays more Rainbow operatives in Vegas 2, mainly by posing falsely as an NSA agent, helping Bishop along the way for some of the campaign while actually putting Bishop in a state of danger, in order to kill him, which fails. Bishop eventually kills him in a final showdown at a villa in Costa Rica. Gabriel felt that Bishop was not letting him be all he could be. He is voiced by actor Elias Toufexis

• Logan Keller
  The main protagonist in Rainbow Six: Vegas, Keller is seen in the opening level of the game, under Bishop's command along with Gabriel Nowak. Keller demonstrates a formidable sense of close-quarters combat (CQB), with realistic analyses of certain hostage situations and how to eliminate the opposition in an effective and concise manner. He is later seen during Bishop's showdown with Nowak near the end of the game. Logan is seen quoting Bishop's teachings at the last level, implying his respect towards Bishop (to which Bishop replied, "Who said that horse shit?") Logan's previous military experience is quite impressive, he served in the Marines as Infantry in the 4th Marine Division, then moved on to the Marines special operations capable Force Recon and last and most significantly in 1997 he passed the Special Forces Qualification for the US Army's elite tier one spec ops unit, 1st SFOD-D "Delta Force". 1st SFOD-D is most likely where he gained his strong close-quaters combat skills, as well as strong leadership among the Rainbow operators.

In 2004, Park received a transfer to the ROK Armys 5th Special Forces Brigade (Airborne).

Story

Rainbow six Vegas 2 is a game that takes place in Las Vegas. You play as Bishop. You can decide how the character will look, what kind of sex, guns, clothing that is a big improvement from Vegas 1 where you could just upgrade and change your character in multiplayer mode.

In the story mode you play with two AI elite soldiers named Young Park and Michael Walters. You control these two almost exactly as you want. It's almost annoying to have to give orders and move on these two around all the time so they should not be pierced with bullets at once. But they can actually be helpful and are not as stupid as often other AI companions are. There are a total of 45 weapons to unlock and use in the game. Sniper rifles, sub machine guns, assault rifles, light machine guns, etc. You can also change the kind of telescopic sights for you to have laser sight, major magazine etc. And while you're playing, you can take on and off a silencer, and change the weapon's firing system so that it only shoots one or three shots instead of using multiple bullets than necessary.

Gameplay [Single & Multiplayer]

Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 is a semi-tactical first person shooter where you take the role as team manager for a multinational anti-terrorist unit. Those who have played the first game of the series need not go further than the menu system and interface for the game's strong relationship is revealed. It looks the same, playing the same, and if I should be strict this feels almost like a standalone expansion.

The story mode takes Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 both before, during and after the action of its predecessor. You take the role of Bishop, and have with you a team of two other soldiers in most of the history section. Despite that history is neither deep or particularly memorable, makes the special composition that it will be interesting to follow. It is told through first person, but it is sometimes difficult to grasp what is being said over the radio, and I wish you could choose if you wanted the text to.

As in most other games you have the opportunity to play in both ranked and unranked matches, and there are several fun game modes to choose from. Since last it has finally been possible to invite friends into ranked matches, but these plays pretty much only to struggle for a few skill points.

The unranked games are more fluid and the flow is broken up in the ranking. Not because there are some fundamental differences in how they played, but rather that the rules allow that one can not play several rounds with the same people. Often does a round in just two minutes, and then it's out in the menu and find a new server - a session that usually takes two minutes. I noticed no particular lag or connection problems when I played over the Internet, suggesting that the Xbox 360 version is more fortunate than the PlayStation 3 in that area.

Graphics

Graphics wise, the game has not been great changes, a small overhaul is done. It's a little hard to get me the whole plot of the story. You should play RSV1 before you play this game. But the game experience dont get any worse by this. The game shines on several other sites, including a large selection of weapons, good sound, perfect control, a good AI and at least one of the better multiplayer games on the market.
