Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 is a first-person shooter video game
and the sequel to Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas. It was announced by Ubisoft on November 20, 2007. The game was released for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on March 18, 2008, in North America and March 20, 2008, in Europe, except for Germany, where it was delayed. The Microsoft Windows version, however, was delayed until April 15, 2008.
A world-exclusive first-look of the game appeared in the January edition of the Official Xbox Magazine. One of the biggest announcements is that Logan Keller, the lead character from the previous game, has been removed in favor of having the player create his own character to play through the campaign. The player, instead, assumes the role of "Bishop," a member of the Rainbow squad, more experienced and deeply involved. The game, labeled "part sequel, part prequel", has events that run both before and concomitantly the story of Logan Keller and continue where the first game concluded.
The story for Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 takes place before, during and after the events of the first game. In addition to the ability to customize a character in multiplayer, the player can now do the same with Bishop, Vegas 2's new protagonist. In single-player, the developers claim to have vastly improved teammate AI, so that now teammates cover each other as they advance. There are also several new commands, for example, the ability of a teammate to throw a grenade at a specific point.
