This marks the moment when the first Rainbow Six Vegas 2 details emerge. Multiplayer, customization, Co-Op, AI, weapons, Ubisoft is spilling the beans over everything that means Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2. The upcoming stealth-based/tactical shooter is scheduled for a 2008 release, in March to be precise, for Sony's PlayStation 3, Microsoft's Xbox 360 and of course
PC.

Here's what Ubisoft is promising PS3, Xbox 360 and PC gamers for next year's March:

More Multiplayer - The highly acclaimed multiplayer mode in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas has been upgraded to include 13 new maps with more intense face-offs, two new adversarial modes, more rewards, and easier access to matches using the improved and intuitive matchmaking system.

Unprecedented Customizable Experience - Create your own identity that persists through both the single player and multiplayer modes and progresses along with you. Reap the benefits of your single player rewards in multiplayer and vice versa.

Vastly Improved Co-op Mode - Turn single player mode into co-op mode at any time, just by jumping into the game. Now you and a friend can jump into a single player game and assist without any change to the story. The single player maps and storyline were created with co-op in mind, meaning every map has multiple entry points and the story is unaffected.

Challenging AI - The AI is more challenging than ever. Now, the terrorists are equipped with thermal vision, night vision, and shields - not to mention a multitude of varying tactics - all of which are guaranteed to give you a new playing experience every time you go into battle. As you progress within the game, you'll be able to outsmart your enemies by taking advantage of intelligence opportunities, such as thermal scanning.

More Vegas - Sin City is back and bigger than before. Explore all new Vegas hot spots and the gritty back streets creating a visual experience that is as challenging as it is breathtaking.

"Challenging" visual experience huh...? Mkay, guess Vegas 2 focuses more on gameplay... Kidding of course, whatever the official report says, just take a look at the image to the top left - that's next-gen right there! As for the new weapons and armor, you'll be able to take your enemies down using a total of 11 new weapons, while camouflage, clothing and gear will allow for the ultimate customization.

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2 is the sixth installment in the Rainbow Six franchise, and the sequel to Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas, launched in mid 2007 for PS3, Xbox 360, PC and PSP. Excluding the PSP, Vegas 2 launches in March next year, for all systems mentioned above. Stay close for trailers and details on the upcoming game.
