“I really wish there were more games like this, a sort of blend of the tactical and arcadey elements of shooters. Obviously this game leans more tactical but it's just so replayable (terrorist hunt specifically)”
“Daamn this game is fire, even better than the first one. Highly recommended”
“love telling 2 idiots what to do”

““Stack up” A vast improvement from the first game. Better visuals. Better lighting. Sprint button. Customize your character. Story flows so much better between level designs. Teammate AI is better. Casual mode feels…”

“its funny when you suddenly increase speed tenfold while going up stairs. Great game”
“Good little time capsule from 2008. This would be 'action movie' Rainbow Six compared to Rainbow Six 3 aspiring towards realism. I prefer the latter, but I like both. If you play it on modern hardware, make sure you cap…”

“IF YOU ARE HAVING PROBLEMS ON MODERN RIGS - Force 60fps cap!! This also fixes some issues in multiplayer, which you can do with a LAN spoofer. Game holds up surprisingly well. No OG Clancy, arguably the beginning of the…”
“countless hours in this game on CONSOLE... ok lets get it on pc has to be even better right?? no. WRONG lolol what is wrong with the pc version of this game man?? fighting for my life against jason bourne an john wick…”
“It's a good game, a cult classic. However I can't find any solution to why my game's performance gets so low randomly, it goes from 60FPS to even 12 and 8 during some areas.”

“It's a video game so it's just like other video games. The enemies don't even have to point the barrel at you to kill you.”

“I could not finish Vegas 2. Your AI squad mates WILL repeatedly let you down, whether that be ignoring orders, instantly getting themselves downed should you ever make the mistake of assigning their ROE as "Assault",…”
“Like the sequel, this felt like a departure from the "true" Rainbow Six I loved. It’s more of an action-heavy cover shooter than a tactical squad simulator. It was a "wild ride" for a lot of people, but for me, it just…”
“The ai squadmates are unbearable, blocks you 60% of the time and cant throw ♥♥♥♥. Enemies always one shot you for no reason. Can't finish it, nostalgia would help a lot with this game but I didn't grow up with it.”

— a player, Steam review · 1 hrs played“Good game overall with challenging squad based combat. Servers are down so co-op does require a 3rd party product to LAN with a friend. No controller support is a bit of a bumber as well.”
