I agree with you US25, alot of people flaming the game already who either haven't tried it, or haven't given it a chance.
R6V2 is actually IMO a great game. Alot of people have been experiencing server issues, but my upgraded internet speed has allowed me to host, lag free, boot free rooms . Hopefully they will have the servers fixed for everyone in the next couple of days. Definetly a step down speedwise and graphically from COD4, but much more realistc when it comes to gameplay. Looks way better than the first, the in game XMB friends list and lobby system are refreshing additions to the game and customization is back and better then Vegas 1 PS3 (Now you can map your face on your character with the PS eye)
I love the R6 series because their games have always have required much more skill then your normal FPS games. Alot of people who were decent a COD4 are having problems with the tactical gameplay on Rainbow and are writing it off. But I wouldn't knock the game unless actually I tried it. My opinion would be, COD4 is probably the funner game overall, as IW's aim was to make a game everyone could enjoy and win at. But if your into more realistic shooters and want to really challenge your tactical shooter gaming skills, R6V2 is a great buy.
Servers need to be worked, and it's still early, but overall, I give it 8.5/10
