Most of the in-game weapons are available now-or at least loosely based on designs that could eventually reach the likes of Iraq and Afghanistan.
So shut up and starting shooting guys.īut unlike sci-fi FPS games such as Halo or Doom, military shooters have a tradition of so-called realism. It doesn't matter how many bullets you take while gunning down whole platoons of terrorists and mercenaries, because this is red-blooded escapism at its geekiest. After all, you're an elite commando, and there's no way not to fight-no button to press to call your nervous wreck of a wife or go hang out with the kids. But in many video games, particularly military-themed first-person shooters (FPS) like the just-released Rainbow Six Vegas 2, you can't wait to step into the line of fire. In real life, people rarely want to get into a firefight.
The main gun developer for the new Rainbow Six Vegas 2 says Ubisoft's team 'could make it as anally realistic as possible' but that gameplay concerns are paramount.
