EDIT: To those trying to correct me about the AK animation being wrong. My exact words while this clip was playing were "Some of them may not look particularly great." I was literally pointing out this animation being bad. What a throwback for my long time viewers. I can't explain how much I love terrorist hunt. Thanks all of you for watching me over on twitch! If you want to join me Mon-Wed for Vegas 2, come give a follow! www.twitch.tv/jarek4gamingdragon
Great vid jarek, I always found the ragdoll in this being so bad it was good😂. Quick suggestion, but would u consider playing Turok evolution, I found it wid my old xbox the other day and it brought back a lot of memories. Keep up the good work
Jerek you are so right about this game I loved this game and its sequel I still play till this day can't wait for next week and keep the content coming it makes my day seeing your videos on my screen thanks man much love
I figure you’re probably gonna play rainbow six Vegas 2 next, but when you get the chance, maybe try some of the older ghost recon games. I heard great things about them, but don’t have a pc so never played them
Playing on a large map with only one terrorist left and no teammates got my heart pounding out my chest, and I'm not sure what was scarier, if you could hear him talking from across the map or complete silence
I just played this for the first time TODAY and I tried out terrorist hunt and as I was trying to use the snake cam on a door a terrorist whipped the door open and insta killed me. 10/10
The character customization was jaw dropping at the time. Also the leveling system for unlocking gear was amazing and remains one of my favorites of all time. It was so damn satisfying unlocking things
I was playing some 4 player terrorist hunt the other day with some random 3 player clan teammates lol. Bought it a few months back at gamestop for like $2.49. Good game.
I spend a lot of time playing terro hunt split screen on my xbox360 with my brother. It was a lot of fun. It was amazing how many guns were there to unlock and how nice you could make your character look. Also it had my favorite map from R6 3 - Presidio
@@nimaabbasi1459 this is good advice as i do this my self very often with the games i love the most but the context i ment my comment in was i feel the alot of people play games with battle pass types of systems in place to get that feeling of "accomplishment" as i did wen i was younger too, where is the topic of older games (ps3 and xbox 360 era) had alot more genuine fun in them even if they was a buggy mess.
The enemy spawn is pretty unpredictable. But if you played one one map a lot, you know where they will spawn but still smoke + heat vision = true savior
Jarek "oh and as a reminder you die in one,two,three shots" Especially against the SPAS-12 which has always seemed to of sniped people from across the room when in the hands of the AI and without any chance of retaliation.
Cursed Hawkins My friends and I call it the Spas12 sniper rifle because people could pick you off from the other side or the map when it had a rifle scope on it
These games squeezed many hours out of me growing up with the 360. Something about the customization, coop modes, and campaign kept me coming back even in 2020!
I spent a crazy amount of hours playing new Vegas 2 on 360 back in the day, I remember doing all the terrorist hunt missions with friends so many times was amazing, remember shitting our pants so many times when we downloaded the night maps and having a terrorist jump scare you around a corner 🤣 sadly I remember I was playing Vegas 2 when news of Tom Clancy’s death came out.
Can you imagine if they remastered this from the ground up. Co op story mode, multiplayer, customize your own agent I mean damn this was the whole package, by far one of the top tactical games of its time.
@@Jgvideophoto i pre ordered siege too and was hoping to play its story mode but it got cut from the game, i think the story trailer is still on youtube...
Lvu campus team sharpshooter for 20 minute non sanctioned clan matches back in the day for the 360. We played 7 on 7 with no explosives to where it became the norm. No GPS and no XM shotgun. Those were the days.
I remember playing this years ago on the 360. For a game of its time the weapon variation and character customisation was the best of the time. Major nostalgia
Only played the PSP version back in middle school. Entertained me on schoolbus rides when I didnt wanna be social at all lol. It was pretty awful and I knew it even back then but still loved it
Hello Jarek! Not sure if you can see this but at @7:11 to 7;25 about how fast you can (and will) die there is an entry in the Rainbow Six page taken from Tvtropes about an 'Instant Death Radius' that I think partially explains this. In all the games in the RS series, "if an enemy shoots you at point-blank range, it's an instant kill. This is even true in Lockdown and Vegas, where you could otherwise take several hits before dying. You don't benefit from a similar bonus when shooting enemies at point blank range." This could easily be why 'Spas Ninjas' are so damn deadly along with their aimbot skillz.
One main issue I have with the Vegas plot is the fact that the game takes place over the course of a single night (late afternoon in Mexico to early morning at the Dam). The previous games had plots that take place over a period of months as the team needs to investigate the bad guys. The Vegas plot just didn't have much time to breathe.
My issue with the cover system is one of realism. When actually taking cover, you wouldn't put your back against it because the time it takes to bring your gun forward is time you would die. I actually think one game that really got cover systems right was Killzone 2. That being said, definitely loved this game and wish we got more tactical shooters these days.
Loved this game. Didn't play terrorist hunt much but I played multiplayer allllll the time. So much fun. Loved just goofing off, hiding in the bathroom with the whole team cracking up while the other team was just running around looking for us
Me and my friend used to play this game so much we knew where every enemy was located how to execute certain entryways this game was beyond addictive I wish they still made the style of game
Honestly Vegas 2 was my favourite and I remember when siege came out and I was mad when it was a different genre, I think if they remastered the game or released a new Vegas it would do great in today’s video game ecosystem with games like squad
I remember playing the pre-release demo for this game and being amazed by how explosions and gunfight would mess up the whole room in such a cool way. My only major complaint was that terrorist hunt seemed to spawn enemies around you as you played, making long range weapons pointless and sometimes spawning a dude with a shotgun right behind you. Also, I can remember some enemy dialogue from heart: [After you kill an enemy] "Fuck! Bitch owed me money." [After an ally shouts "cover me!"] "No, fuck you! You cover me!" [runs towards enemy fire]
I’m so glad to see so many people still love these games! I still play Vegas 2 to this day, grinding my way to Elite on pc now after doing it on both consoles. Terrorist hunt is the only part worth playing, gets some friends, grab a beer or a joint and you are going to be up for hours laughing with your mates. I would say skip the first game though, the second really added a lot of quality of life issues within the game, for example sprinting. Thanks for the nostalgia Jarek. Looking forward to Vegas 2 next week. What time are you streaming it?
ive lived in Vegas for the longest i can remember. the first time i played this i always had a smile on my face seeing some places ive seen countless times.
I've been putting a TON of hours into this game for the last 2 weeks trying to trailblaze the terrorist hunt speedrunning scene so I was almost giggling like a schoolgirl once you got to TH in the last 4 minutes. Not too long ago I made a comment on an old library video of yours about how one map has 70 terrorists on high density and I think you referenced it at 16:00. The only thing is the map is wartown, not warzone XD. Great video, great points, and I hope that this video encourages people to play the game again, I'd love to get some co-op terrorist hunt going in the online which is somehow still on after 14 years.
Good memories of Vegas 1 & 2. My big gripe with them was that your weapon took up almost a third of the screen in first person mode. Sucked when the enemy popped up from the right side of the screen.
Ah, yes. I'm happy I showed up when you streamed this. Awesome as always :3 And yeah, I see what you mean now about how Insurgency took inspiration from Vegas. Terrorist Hunt legit sounds like the Hunt gamemode from Insurgency, literally and objectively. And the random braindead to aimbot AI bullshit is also in Insurgency alongside the very funny dialogue. Just wow :D
I remember in the dante theatre having this bug when I was supposed to hack a server and the enemies destroy it, the mission failed and it load me back to the checkpoint, but the server was still destroyed and I didn't have any option to hack it again so I have to play the game from the beginning
Can't wait for the Vegas 2 vid. I actually picked that up before the first one and played it (specifically terrorist hunt) religiously. I was so happy seeing V2 being on games for gold on xbox a few years back, because that pretty much guarantees a player base, and I missed multiplayer and co-op terrorist hunt so much man. Getting to play that game online with people again for an entire summer was amazing.
Rainbow 6 Vegas was the first game I ever played online when I got xbox live and it blew my mind. Attack and Defend on Calypso Casino is still one of my favourite map/game mode combinations ever
I love how you specifically mentioned the XM-26 LSS. I didn't know it was actually bolt action IRL. It's a good day when you learn something new. Admittedly, the one reason I'm trying to get another copy of Vegas 1 is BECAUSE the XM-26 has a MUCH faster ROF than Vegas 2. And the terrorist hunts are (no pun intended) a blast with it. I really hate that you can't run though.
And, Vegas 2 does it even better. But how each gun feels completely different, is a testament to how great this shooter is. Truly top tier on that aspect.
Dude your so right, on the rooms where you couldn't enter without insta dying i used 'send in the clowns'... some how your team mates turned into 80s action heros killing everyone, like Chuck Norris or something :-D
Man I remember staying up on Saturday nights playing Vegas 2 on 360 when I was like 16 in high school. Great times. The progression system was incredible until you max out and everyone is running around in neon pink camouflage.
LVU Campus was the best. I still remember the line and tactics I would use to get through it and then trying to adapt when the weird AI does something different or spawns somewhere else. We would do challenge runs where we would all spec and one guy would try to clear it with a pistol.
I played the hell out of this & especially Vegas 2 back in the 360 days, completely agree about the difficulty spikes & cheap deaths. The SPAS-12 enemies would drop you with one shot before you even knew what happened. I finished that campaign on realistic mostly by abusing the smoke grenades & letting the AI teammates do alot of the room entries. Terrorist hunt was so much fun as well, I don't know how many hundreds of hours I played with my friends between both Vegas games. Although sometimes it would literally spawn guys out of thin air next to you which was a guaranteed death. I love Siege but the T-hunt in that game isn't half as good as Vegas.
I grew up with rainbow six and host recon games, now the former is a sweaty s#tshow and the other is a discounted gta. I miss those days. Waiting for the vegas 2 video!
I remember playing this game and vegas 2 . I didn't enjoy the first one, well because I was 6 years old. Though I did enjoy the 2nd game and even with all it's problems I also enjoy Siege and occasionally watch pro tournaments.
This game was just so badass. I have vivid memories of playing through the Casino map for hours on end in multiplayer/terrorist hunt. Great times. Not to mention the amount of times I had to quickly rush to the remote to turn the game down if my mom came down so she didn’t hear some of the stuff that the characters would say 😂
Lmao, I remember playing the game back in the day. My friend and I would talk about how t-hunt really taught you the game. Even glitches on mp maps were inspired by buggy ai. My least favorite was casino vault. The door by horseshoe entering offices had a small room that you could glitch into the ceiling and were invulnerable but could still kill other players.
I remember back then I was literally scared of Vegas 1 terrorist hunt. Being alone was super terrifying to me in that game so the first time I tried it and saw that both Mike and Jung weren't there, scared me enough to just quit it and stick to the campaign. Then when Vegas 2 came out and saw that they were present in terror hunt, I was pleased and played it a lot. Recently I reinstalled Vegas 1 from Steam and decided to jump into terrorist hunt on Calypso casino, on medium settings. Needless to say, after a couple of times I completed the mission and it felt amazing, I received nothing for it yet it felt so rewarding. The only thing that kinda bothers me and makes a lil sad is that I'm not (and I won't be) able to customize my own custom character again because Ubisoft seems to have silently killed the servers, and for some reason you simply can't customize your character offline so I'll be forever stuck with my last custom character. There's actually more customization in Vegas 1 than in Vegas 2 and that bothers me even more. But overall, I have so many memories from both Vegas games, they truly deserve a remaster. Also @ 12:55 I remember the very first time going through this part in realistic, I just threw two smoke grenades when they stopped firing, moved up and ordered my teammates to advance so we just picked them one by one through the smoke
I uploading my face for my character model and being floor for how realistic it looked at the time. Even when the game was being messy, as soon as I hit cover and saw my complexion I’d be so enamored I’d forget all the problems I was having.
Yes! I love this game, I used to play this game on 360. During 2008, I used to play the casino map all the time, I was only 11 and I loved this game because it was so different from Cod. I had 98 in my name so all the old folk were kind to me 🤣
12:58 iirc throwing a smoke/flash grenade and letting your team do the killing worked just fine for me. however, you're right about normal mode being too easy and hard mode kinda unfair sometimes
Love the Vegas games! Also thank you for mentioning how terrifying terrorist hunt can be. Everytime I tried it in Vegas 2 I would get the absolute pants scared off me by a guy who just silently showed up in my face, it's nuts.
I have put sooooo many hours into the Rainbow Six series, Vegas 1 specifically. Don't get me wrong, I love Vegas 2 and feel like that it was much better gameplay wise, but I spent more time in the first Vegas game. Great video, by the way.
My one issue with this game is it was the the final nail in the coffin for the old style of Rainbow Six games. Lockdown was an experiment. Critical Hour was a necessary evil. Vegas was an amazing game that made it clear we were never going to see the old style of Rainbow six again.
Fr I like this RSV, but the sequel was a big step up, what amazed me back then (in those years of when I had no internet) was being able to level up in the story! And Terrorist hunt was amazing kill house best map, great video pleasure watching as always
This game proper “nostalgia trapped” me, I remember loving it with an absolute passion.. but forgot how god awful janky and punishing it could be.. but mainly it was the dirty arse colour scheme I’d forgotten.
Teufel Jaeger What? No, "M416"is just a renaming of the H&K 416 to avoid copyright issues. And the Marines have the H&K M27, it's just an HK416 with a heavier barrel and a few other changes. It is not "Colt's take on the HK416". It is not designed by Colt or manufactured by Colt.
@@mrpirate6187 no sorry I was uniformed on the M416. And what I meant was the HK416 was adopted by the MC. Its not just a heavier barrel its 16.5 inches aswell. I use it a decent amount
I loved this game so much. RB6 was when shooters really click with me. Played RB6 3 on the original Xbox. And then moved on to Vegas on the 360. Played with my orginal group of online friends so many fun memories. Hope they are all well. I hope they make a campaign for rb6 again. Love the "tactics" of the campaign for rb6, ghost recon, and brothers in arms.
Hey man i just found out your channel and i never noticed the problems this game had, i loved the game and i would play through it again. Nice content btw
God i miss this game. In my top 5 for sure. The online was so much fun and I just loved playing Calypso Casino foreeeevvvvvveeerrrr haha. Fuck it was good
The Xm26 is a semi automatc design made into a bolt action over relibilty issues, by the time this game was made the gun was still being experimented on as a semi. The company making the gun gave up, cut their losses, and then somehow managed to weasl a fancy goverment contract out of making it a bolt action.
I've never found anything that says the M26 was originally semi auto The M26 was also adopted because soldiers wanted underbarrel shotguns, hence why they were strapping pumps to the end of their guns
@@demanischaffer it's old design that they were working on since the early 90's, the contract they were trying to get has been out since the vietnam war, and remained unfulfilled until now even though the m26 still has massive issues, and it's current role is just a glorified door breaker.
@@DARKthenoble A door breaker is literally the whole reason why people were putting short barrel shotguns under their guns Also what contract? I've found nothing that indicates the M26 was part of a program or a contract, especially one from the 60's
@@demanischaffer It was in vietnam that they were strapping pumps to their gun, the military doesn't do that anymore, because for some reason they view shotguns as completely useless, when they are far more useful in cqc then a rifle that can't pen lvl 4 body armor. IN vietnam they would take the stock off cut down the barrel wire it up against the rifle, and back then because slam fire was a thing, if they wired up the trigger, all you had to do was push the handguard forward on the shotgun and it would go off. It wasn't exactly entirely safe for someone to do, but because it was something that was quite effective in vietnam, they put out the contract thinking private companies would find a better solution to the problem. After the Vietnam and Korean war you ran into the ban on slamfire shotguns, that kinda kicked Remington, and Ithaca out of the whole market for a bit, leading to mossberg picking up the space in the vacuum. Granade launchers use to have a solid shot round used for breaching things, but that turned out to be too expensive, so for a time they switch to a small removable insert that let them shot 12 guage out of it. However, that didn't meet the requirements to fill that contract, so all the way up until now it was never officially fulfilled, and with no one else offering competition the m26 is finally being put in service for better or worse after being stuck in over 10 years of development hell. The M26-MASS had been in development at the U.S. Army's Soldier Battle Lab since the late 1990s. The idea was to provide soldiers with lightweight accessory weapons which could be mounted underbarrel of the standard issue M16 rifle or M4 carbine. These would provide soldiers with additional capabilities, such as: door breaching using special slugs, very short-range increased lethality using 00 buckshot, and less-lethal capabilities using teargas shells, rubber slugs, rubber pellets, or other non-lethal rounds. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M26_Modular_Accessory_Shotgun_System It's honestly a complete piece of shit, that being thrown out there by idiots who didn't understand the sunk cost fallacy.
@@DARKthenoble "doesn't do that anymore" Because now the MASS is issued.... So the need to cut down shotguns like it's Vietnam, or buying short barrel shotguns to attach to guns has been replaced by the MASS which can be used standalone like a normal shotgun, or underbarrel like a short barrel shotgun. The idea that the Military views shotguns as useless seems to be based on nothing Considering that all branches of the Military are still issuing shotguns. I'm also not sure about your claim of a slam fire "ban" As Slamfire is perfectly legal, however the safety of it is questionable, with Remington shotguns still being in US inventory So the M-26 started in the *late* 1990's and was in testing and limited usage till around 2008 when mass adoption For a weapons adoption, there are many replacement and adoption attempts that take much longer
Almost like we played a different game. I don't remember a single glitch in Vegas 1 or 2. Both of them are some of my favourite games-R6 was dull before Vegas (especially Lockdown) and especially dull after it (i.e. scrapping Patriots [which would have been a controversial but relatively unique game if they stuck with it] for Siege, which just seems like Ubisoft's answer to Valve's CS:GO). Of course, R6 before Vegas was also more complicated and Vegas simplified all of these complications out of it (planning stages, teammate choice, etc.) to become a more fast-paced shooter. I share the common enthusiasm for the 'uniqueness' of the environments. Instead of the common SOCOM or Call of Duty scenarios (SOCOM 1 and CoD4 both start out with a ship at night-time [and SOCOM 2 ends with that], for example), you have a set of wealthier and cleaner locations that seemed unusual at the time. The sorts of places that you expect the 'counter-terrorist' forces to have came from, not be deployed in. The price for that uniqueness is a nonsensical story-you're shooting it out on America's streets because a pack of loud-mouthed Latin American mercenaries literally invaded, somehow taking over large swathes of an American city, inexplicably without being flattened by the world's #1 military. It seems a laughable premise (and obvious suicide mission that no mercenary would seriously want to take) in real-life, but there isn't really any obvious way to set a game like this in any Western country without resorting to stereotypes (e.g. the usual 'civil breakdown' scenario). There are a lot of ways in which this game exceeds Call of Duty 4-that game which was considered a dramatic step forward while other earlier games which CoD4 is quite comparable to were somehow forgotten. I'm not sure why CoD4 was even considered that large a step over this or the earlier Battlefield 2. This game had vastly more weapons and attachments to deploy with than CoD4, for example. And Call of Duty never even bothered with a cover system as far as I know. There wasn't much of a jump between Vegas 1 and 2. The first thing that comes to mind is that in Vegas 2, you had your AI teammates in Terrorist Hunt... which makes it far easier than the brutal, unforgiving Terrorist Hunt of Vegas 1. Vegas 2 seemed to me a better game overall, but by 2008 you already had games like CoD4 and Crysis getting all the attention.
I haven’t had the opportunity to play Vegas, but Vegas 2 was amazing and I had some of the best moments with that game. Especially with friends. And the true experience of Vegas 2 with Terrorist Hunt is to play it on realistic with no armour. That use to be lit. And with dual smg, even more wildness
Splinter Cell Conviction has something similar to Terrorist Hunt. So fun to play with a friend and pick off bad guys. Played Terrorist Hunt with my cousin on Vegas 2 a bunch. Childhood and early teens was ruled by Tom Clancy Ubisoft. Splinter Cell, Advanced Warfighter, Vegas. Good times.. downloading and playing them all rn haha.
I REMEMBER BEING RANKED 1 IN THE WORLD IN DEATH MATCH AND 22 in TDM for a few months.. i was called every name in the book.. and accused of hacking.. and i understand why.. i would literally have 127 kills per match and 4 deaths, with my cousin trailing behind in second place with like 70 kills and 30 deaths.. and the person in third with like 30 kills and 40 deaths .. ill never forget the meta for using a shotgun.. and using the radar to navigate while blinded by flashbangs and still getting kills while totally blinded and shooting in the direction that my radar blip was pointing. fuck i was a sweaty bastard
I recently play these games not too long ago but I can understand why this game meant to lot of gamers back then. Tactical action with your buds and coordinate each other was the selling point of it. Also it had a really good campaign which I think you can co-op with right? Anyway thanks for the video Jarek and will try to catch your next stream.
I think I pretty much 100% agree with you here, and it's fun to see so many other people also have nostalgia for Vegas/2! R63: Black Arrow was my first R6 as a kid, but I think I put the most hours into Vegas 2 t-hunt. It's frustrating to me that t-hunt is an afterthought in Siege because they very nearly (imo) created a perfect upgrade to Vegas's t-hunt. The enemy AI is really good in Siege I feel; I've seen them retreat when outgunned and throw down razorwire where they think we'll give chase etc. Movement and shooting in Siege is orders of magnitude nicer and more satisfying. They took out health regen which is a must, health regen does not belong in a tactical shooter! If you're shot, you have to deal with the consequences. Also, Vegas's t-hunt spawning system was DOGSHIT. If you look at the code it only spawns like 5-10 enemies in the map at a given time, dynamically spawning new ones in around you. It sucks so hard. Siege places them all in the map so you can actually properly scout, and you don't get sucker punched by an enemy you couldn't hear coming because they literally just spawned in. The main thing that sucks about Siege's t-hunt is the operators, and how awful the whole map select thing is. It's awkward to choose a map and you have to rush to pick gear. That sucks. And not being able to equip flashbangs on certain characters is rubbish. tl;dr if you like t-hunt and you have a few friends go grab Siege and give it a go. It surprised me by being probably the most fun t-hunt of the series, and I'm a R6:RS fanboy
I can not express how hard I disagree. Siege was a MASSIVE disappointment to me in every way and I thought they absolutely butchered terrorist hunt in every way. It's just awful in siege.
I just had some random thought about this game and when the support ai dies so either Micheal and Jung or Gabriel and kan I think when they die it’s becuase they weren’t expecting an enemy ai to be next to them I know it probs sounds weird but that maybe why they die some times straight away but most of the time they don’t and you get to revive them
