Ok, I have decided not just to openly question the idea then back off and watch.. this time I will take initiative myself.

The clan is now official, but un-named.

1) The clan is open to any XBA member with Xbox Live Gold & Rainbow Six Vegas

2) Sign-up in this thread and post your Gamertag, what times you usually play 360, and a name suggestion if you have an idea other than an obviously and simple Xbox Addicts

3) There will be no structure as of yet, and we don't even have to take it that seriously to create it.

4) In the interim, set your RS:V prefix to [XBA]

5) ADD EVERY MEMBER THAT SIGNS UP
-----------------------------------------------------------

Now let's just see how this shakes out, hope there is a turn out!

no, what TIMES you're usually online, not what games you have.. this is a RSV clan.

How serious is the clan? I would gladly add the prefix but I haven't started playing the game online much yet. So basically, I'm not good but I love playing online. If this is a clan to have other people to play online with, I'd gladly join. If this is a competitive type clan, I'm prolly not the best choice.

Gamertag: tylerNOshirley

Online Time: generally anytime 5p-11p weekdays and anytime weekends.

Mostly to play together, prehaps we could get in against some other clans for the hell of it.. but it's not like we're putting money on stuff, so how serious is it even if were are playing other clans?

argh I wish I could join you guys. I was so desperate I bought the game for pc, but they con everyone by requiring you to buy only the new video cards with shader 3.0...so no RSV for me.....I wanted a 360 for Christmas but I got shot down....


some day brothers...I will join you on the battlefield.

Alright, well I really suck at this game. But man is it fun! I'm getting better, today was my first day of actually sitting down and playing online and keep in mind I haven't played any other Rainbow Six games. It'll take me some time to learn the maps and things, but it should be really fun playing with you guys. My question is...in order for us all to play together do we have to send each other invites or can we somehow join w/o being invited? So far I have only been playing with random people. I don't know about you guys but this game reminds me alot of the old days when I would spend countless hours playing CS everyday.

Whisper

We can't play in ranked games together unless you find it manually via the optimatch.. which is easy enough to do because the host's name is displayed.. we just need to determine which of us has the best hosting ability should we want to host ourselves

player matches you can invite to, and you still rank up, so it doesn't matter which set you play unless you're worried about the 100% glitched out leaderboard.

i play in ranked just because when the game says it's in the lobby, it's not lying.. player matches always seem to be in the middle of a round when I join.

If people want to get good at this game faster, you should know these things:

- Silencer reduces damage by 20-30% depending on the weapon, don't use it unless you're sniping (accuracy improved marginally)

- The armor is very faux. 0-3 armor provides the same protection, 4-6 armor provides the same protection, and 7-10 provides the same protection, but in all cases, the speed of your movement is changed (ie: 2 is slower than 1, but doesnt protect you any different). If you're going to wear armor, wear 4 or 7.. otherwise wear nothing.

- Using the scope, the only way to shoot accurately is to not be moving either stick (stationary shots). I use the scope only to get a clear view of an area, I zoom out on a guy and shoot with the cursor in bursts

- If you're walking where you could confront someone in close quarters, be aiming just under the gun, center mass (around the sternum).. then just hold the trigger down and the recoil should bring the gun nicely over his heart and face... don't panic, and dont sorry about losing the cursor up close, just try to keep the tip of your gun over his sternum in the picture.

Check a complete analysis of everything in the game here
http://www.ick.bz/pdfs/Rainbow_6_Vegas_2.pdf

I use a Famas.. though the most accurate is apparently the MP7.. the Famas has more usefulness up close, and I'm not a camper, I try and get to their base and attack from behind them if possible.. so I need to be able to save myself within 5 feet.. Famas does this best.

ALWAYS USE YOUR GRENADES BEFORE YOU DIE, MASTERING NADE THROWING WILL DRASTICALLY IMPROVE YOUR KILL COUNT. -- learning the levels is a big part of this

good luck!

But our other friend and his son just got the game this week so we can't exactly kick either of them ;) (Wouldn't want to anyway...) I need to convince them to do some MP modes tonight...I just know we were all set on working on getting the T-Hunt achievement. And its good practice!

Hey guys, bad news, my RS:V game is ****ed. Won't even turn on anymore. Has never been scratched, left out, or anything. Since week 1 it had some unreadable errors when loading a map occaisionally.. then it got worse.. now it wont turn on.

Good news though, I'm getting it again tomorrow.. game too good to stop (or worry about money) :)

I'd like the XBA clan to play more together, but it seems you guys wanted to just play with yourselves or to coop stuff.. not into that.. all I've been doing is team sharpshooter, and frequently been finishing in first on whichever team I'm on.

I've found I can host 10 people pretty decently, only 1 complaint of mild lag.

Wulkar, it's an old habit. I don't have anyone on my list that isn't a friend or an XBAer.. if you gamertag isn't your XBA name, I have likely deleted it. Send a note along with it so I know it's an XBAer.

Willy, I told you why I didn't accept your invites.. disc unreadable.. I tried over and over.. think I even messaged you and told you. When I did finally get in, a few of you weren't even playing, just working on getting achievements. That's real fun.

Also, seeing that almost all the members had tags of other clans, really helped my enthusiasm.

I didn't get any message. After the achievements I was trying to invite you to other games and you didn't come, I messaged you a few times and you didn't reply either.

Matt, hit me up. I want to do some co-op or terrorist hunt over Xbox Live. I want to run it like back in the Black Arrow days. Use military tactics and make it fun.

I'm loving this game, in the story mode I'm at Dante's Inferno. I prefer using the 870 shotgun, though I'm still trying to find an assault rifle that works for me. If I can whip up a human team, I want to use the entry shield and do SWAT breaches.

I used to have a good clan during Black Arrow, but those guys aren't active here anymore. Anyway, if anybody wants to run some co-op on Vegas, my gamer tag is Capt Krunk

Reclaimer,

Now that sounds like a blast. I am new to the xbox but I have been competing in ladders with Ravenshield for the past 4 years. I am always looking for a group to work together with squad based tactics.

I had this huge clan that was a cross between guys from this site, from another Xbox site I used to work at and people I served with. In that clan, we had a Rainbow Six 3 / Black Arrow unit.
We had things working like clockwork. Our breaches went down flawlessly no matter how many terrorists where in the room. Myself and another guy where prior service, he was 101st Airborne and I did tactical law enforcement but we both knew close quarter battle tactics.
We taught what we knew to the other 2 guys and things where awesome.

It was better to just blow the door off the hinges instead of opening it.
Team of 4 going through the door. We stack up at the door, operator 1 at the door, 4 at the end of the stick. I was Operator 1 with the USAS-12 Auto Shotgun. Four sets the door charge and gets back at the end of the line.
Count off, 3,2,1, Go.
Four blows the door charge, if we do it right, the tip of my barrel should be going through the door as it blows up.
I turn right and sweep and clear all targets as I proceed to the bottom right corner of the room.
Operator 2 sweeps and clears all targets to the bottom left as he proceeds to his corner.
Operator 2's field of fire actually backs me up as he comes in so my ass isn't exposed.
Operator 3 moves in a 45 degree path to the top right.
Operator 4 moves in a 45 degree parth to the top left. Four can switch back to his gun the second I start moving in.

With practice, we can all get in the room and cleared to our corners in no time flat.

Rainbow Six Vegas is a better game so I'm real excited about trying this out.
Plus, Vegas is the first tactical game I've ever played where both the shotgun and the pistols are perfect. I have no problem using a pistol in the game as a main gun if I wanted to.

Hit me up, I play usually twice a week because of my work schedule.

WillyV2
01-08-2007, 09:14 PM

Work gets in my way of playing too... darn responsibilities :cuss: :p

I'm so pissed..

I played for a little bit this morning, around 2am and I completed Dante's Casino. I found my two missing guys and got to the construction site. So just finishing Dante's Casino is an achievement.

Well, for some reason my 360 disconnected from Xbox Live while I was playing. I didn't get that achievement. I don't think theres a way to go back and redo levels because technically, being on the construction site is the next level up from Dante's Casino.

I just got a dashboard update, I don't know what that's about.

In good news, I determined that I really like using the M249 as my primary weapon. At least just for story mode. That and the shotgun.

It took forever to crawl through Dante's Arcade.

Shawn-XBA
01-09-2007, 09:56 AM
Reclaimer, when you sign back into XBL it should update you getting the achievement. Because it should be on your profile on the 360. The first couple of days that had the 360 I wasn't connected to live yet and had achievements, but once I signed on to live it updated my profile, I know its not the same situation but should work out the same way. Hope that helps

Does anyone know what the dashboard update was? I don't see anything different, yet

Edit: I found the info on the update, heres the link (http://www.xbox.com/en-US/community/news/2006/0130-autoupdate.htm)

dantes casino actually doesnt end at the construction site, you have to fight your way through the theater and the head to the extraction point

dantes casino actually doesnt end at the construction site, you have to fight your way through the theater and the head to the extraction point

So it goes like this..
You get dropped off at a construction site and fight your way in and down stairs. You fight into Dante's Casino which of course is under construction and the high lights include battling through the slot machine parlor, then you find what's his name in the Arcade. Then you get jumped. Then you get jumped some more. Then you fight your way back out into the construction site and you find Kahn.

(Does Kahn die regardless? I put a bullet in his chest because I couldn't tell who he was until I got closer)

Then you move some more into a trench where the enemies have the high ground. That's where I'm at. So I'm still on the same stage? I went through 4 or 5 different areas..

The girl in the helicopter annoys me. She doesn't add anything to the table that can't be done over the radio. That video feed is distracting and a waste of tactical time.

This game is cool, but it is so entirely improbable.

Oh definitely. Everyone is more than welcome to play with me, experience level is no factor.
Tell you what, everyone brings something to the table as I've learned running in a gaming clan. The military guys brought coordination, communication and team work, the civilian teen agers in our clan brought straight up gaming experience.

It was awesome back then. Richard and I would lay cover fire like it's meant to be laid and LTM, and Totten would just run amok and get the job done.
When we played Halo 2 as a clan with more people it was even better. Military precision meets gamers pwnage. LTM, Totten, and Alpha would cut huge swaths through the enemy clan using teen caffeinated skill, Richard, Phil and I set up ambushes and security patrols that could be relied on no matter what.

Everyone has a job to do. We move as a fire team, sectors are covered, our six is covered. We communicated our intentions. Bad ass.

Nth Turtle, you're my hero. I love Suicidal Tendencies and Infectious Grooves. I've seen Suicidal in concert a few times, opening up for Metallica both times.
My avatar here at XBA used to be the Sarsippius' Ark CD inset picture. As a matter of fact, I've pondered switching my gamer tag to Sarsippius and changing my motto to "The jolly green love machine."
(I ought to do that still)

I am 39 and I am a teacher. I have laddered with a few clans playing primarily Ravenshield on the PC for the last 4 years. We also matched with COD and BF2.

I am getting used to the controller.. yes I am a mouse and keyboard man. I didn't want to buy a new mobo and vod card for vegas so I got a 360 and many new games. I love it. I only have to get better.

Nth Turtle, you're my hero. I love Suicidal Tendencies and Infectious Grooves.

Just wait 'til you see my custom face on Vegas then. :cool:

As for organised Co-Op T-Hunts, I've many spaces on my FList (Courtesy of a recent purge from 100 down to 15 :yikes: ) so anyone finding themselves a guy short can feel free to send me a FReq and if I'm able I'll lend a hand. (As said before, GT is 'Nth Turtle')

Speaking of Custom Faces (Via LiveCam) how many of you sport them?

I have the camera. I got it to work well for my friend's list picture, but the lighting in my living room apparently is not good enough to make a custom face. I keep getting an error message about the lighting conditions. I'll need to move our lamps around the living room so it will work better. (much to my wife's dismay.)

For awhile I actually considered putting my wife's face on my Vegas character and make the character female.

My g/f has used my camera to put herself in the game on her own 360. Took me ages to get her to sneer rather than smirk, lol. Turned out well, she likes it.

Won't work buddy, the face mapping technology requires certain facial structure to work. If the image in front of the camera doesn't have 2 eyes, a nose and a mouth it ain't gonna work, plus it uses the ear on the side profile pic. Even with all of the above, it can still be a pain to get it to work right.

OK, I got my create-a-character done using the Vision camera. I have to say that I'm impressed. It got my face and my stubble down pretty well. On a 1 to 10, I give it an 8 for accuracy. I didn't tell my wife about it and when she sat down to do a terrorist hunt with me, she noticed it when I ran past her and she just said "oh my god that's you.!"

She later says that it's too creepy, but it's cool. She thinks the game makes me too short. I'm about 5 foot 11 and the she thinks the game makes me look like I'm 5 foot 6 or something.

Anyway, I get a kick out of it. I can't stop myself from getting different guns and using the cover mode so I can see myself. It looks cool.

So I'm using medium armor, the 92F, the Famas and the 870 shotgun. I think that's my favorite load out kit now.

0 armor.. not worth it.

...gadgets are usually C4 and incendiary grenades.

Word of caution, there is a problem when T-Hunting using the Willie Petes (Incendiary nades). Basically the enemy count doesn't always detract 1 when a Tango gets burnt to death. This can lead to the running around maps searching for the last guy when he's actually already dead.

The patch was meant to fix this, but it hasn't. Make sure no-one in your room uses them and it'll be fine. Shame really, since the actual effects and death yells are pretty damn comical.

I got on with my PEC and played a bunch of Team Sharpshooter. It was so-so I guess. Nobody talks and for the longest time I'm not even sure if my headset works. It shows that I'm speaking, but either not a single person talks during the game or in the lobby, or something is wrong.

I spent a lot of time getting kicked from the games. I guess it's clan night or something. I'll be playing for a bit, then the room fills up with a clan, and I end up getting the boot.

I played some rank games and I kept getting put on the team that gets beat 45 to 10. It was actually pretty frustrating, seems like I could do no real good.

Had to switch guns around and just went for overall accuracy, seems like the UMP 45 does the trick. I was watching what weapons where used to kill me and nobody used anything more than a SMG.

I unlocked the Private First Class rank and got the helmet I can't use because it doesn't sit right on my custom character's head.

The biggest thing I noticed is that people still play this game like Halo. They run in spraying everything and since they can't jump, the duck up and down real fast to avoid getting shot. Few people use cover, even fewer use backup and frag and clear.

I've decided to just roll out a grenade when I think I'm screwed. Seems to work better, like when I'm getting shot up, just drop a grenade. It'll kill. I killed two people at once because I just dropped a grenade prior to dying.

I like the game, but I'd rather play it with people I know.
I'm stuck on the campaign, I'm in Dantes Theater, trying to get to the extraction point. Sort of getting tired of the same old getting ambushed every 20 seconds.
I hacked the data hub, I'm just trying to get out somewhere.

IF you cant hear anyone but it looks like they can hear you and are talking, you might
need to power cycle your router (unplug it totally and wait 5 min).

Yeah most HALO people do the ducking thing so easy way to fix that is aim for upper
middle chest so if they do duck they will get hit in head with a round or two.

I will be on tonight possibly if you want to get a game in or so. HaZarD SFD <-Gamertag

Just curious, but what does cycling my router have to do with the game? I get good ping times on the indicator. I mean, I'm willing to try, but I just fail to see what it does.

I'll be a few days before I'm off duty and have time to play. What I need to do which I didn't get chance to do was change controllers and see if I'm having a problem with it.

I have two headsets, I had the problem with both.

Well I need to play Battlefield MC with that controller and see if I have the problem, then I need to change the controllers around.

I found out that I really don't like the shotgun much in Team Sharpshooter. Maybe in other online game types, but not Team Sharpshooter. You move too fast and you don't want to have to get close to someone to use it.

It all boils down to accuracy and speed more than anything the way I see it.

Thanks Jackyboy about the ladder. I didn't even know it was there.

Good times had by all.
Nth Turtle and I took a few go rounds with Terrorist Hunt, realistic, tons of bad guys on the Streets level.

At first we got a bit spastic learning how we both operate. On realistic, that first encounter at the street corner is tough. One guy can have good cover, the other guy doesn't have good cover. Ultimately, I had to play chicken and run across the street to take cover there so we could have a cross fire effect.
It was really fun.

I'm pissed at the game though. Like, really pissed.
My wife has an XBL account. I have an XBL account. We can both play Rainbow Six together. I have a custom character, she has a custom character. Hers looks better than mine.
What pisses me off is that in a split screen game, only one character can be a custom character. Even if you both have stored characters on the same Xbox.

Player one's slot gets to choose custom person, player 2 has to choose from the default list.

That's some crap right there.

T'was the Border Town, but aye, was fun desite the number of bullets we caught with our dental work. That 1st corner is probably one of the most difficult parts of any map on realistic high density THunts. Casino Vaults is probably the only map with a nastier beginning where they can actually rush your spawn. (Kill House maybe a close 3rd)

I didn't even realise there was an option to have 2 stored faces on one 360, I take it the rule is 1 per Live account then? Yeah, that sucks that you can't both play with your own custom.

An expensive way around it (The route I've gone) is buying yer wife a 360 of her own and a router, then with 2 TV's we can play online together, co-op using our own characters etc...

Streets / Border Town.. I'm still learning the names and how to get around.
Yeah, once you take that first street corner, it leaves the second player with no shot.
You're trapped engaging everyone down the street, and player 2 has to inch out into the middle of the street to get any kind of shot.
That's why right off the bat, the second player has to run like hell straight across the street to the back of the pickup and work there, spraying the street down with full automatic fire.

You know your enemies are hard core when you spray the street with bullets and 6 guys standing there don't flinch or even stop shooting at you. By the way, you end up taking one or 3 bullets in the ass on the way across the street but it's survivable.
Hell, you get flashbanged by the time I'm across and finished recovering from getting shot.
--

You can store as many custom faces as there are individual XBL accounts on the 360. You just have to log in each time as that individual account and create the character. Rainbow Six won't let you play split screen unless all the players have a live account of some sort. There is no "default" or guest profile to use.
So when we play, I turn on the 360 as me, set up the game and when it's time to select splitscreen, it takes us to a different screen and she selects her profile from the list.

She has her own achievements and everything. I take it you put a bunch of accounts on there if you wanted to.
I guess you're right though, the only way around it would be to use system link and she gets to recover her account to her own 360.

[evil laugh].... muhahahah.... [/evil laugh] Tax return time is around the corner.. wonder if I can score that plasma TV and a new 360 for my wife... Hmmmm.....

I just go unconscious when I play this game now. I have been playing Rainbow Six since the original in 1998.. and even though this game is exactly as same as the last, I still can't help myself, I love it.

Kill House and Streets have been around since 98, so I own on those every time. I played only 3 games last night before getting tired of owning so much. I think I was a total of 46-5.

Still though, these games also have the highest population of noobs.. and the gravitational pull of a noob is stroger then that of a pro, so sometimes I lose because of idiot teammates:bang:


All that pro (PRO!) being said, yes I'm glitching as well. I don't have the time to play as much as it takes to be elite, and I want to be elite asap, since it is the only rank that comes close to reflecting my actual skill. 5,000 XP points in 3 minutes does the trick though.
