I don't understand why COD 4's multiplayer got so much praise and Rainbow Six Vegas's multiplayer was not talked about nearly as much.

It practically copied it.

Note: Love both games, so fanboys just shut the fu#( up.

No way, they're not similar at all. COD4 has no cover system, and shooting someone feels completely different.  I prefer RSV, and I don't see why COD4 gets so much praise. But, they're not really similar.

I actually agree, except cod4 has no cover, I enjoy more r6v because of the cover system and it's more tactical, if you don't have a microphone to talk with your team mates you're pretty much fucked..

they're two totally different types of shooters. call of duty 4 expanded on the gun play that was developed in call of duty on the pc back in 2003. RS: Vegas is expanded from the console versions of rainbow six 3 with the addition of a cover system.

and you sir don't know rainbow six multiplayer untill you've played Rogue Spear or Raven Shield. completely different ballgame than what you know of.

And Rainbow 6 Vegas multiplayer was a copy of Call of Duty 2 multiplayer.
And all of it eventually leads back to copying Doom multiplayer.

Who's the bitch now?

Leaving all the bitching aside, one needs to take into account when it comes to gaming history, the bottomline is that new games that come out to tend to take ideas from another previous game and adapt it.

COD4 isn't really a "copy" of Rainbow Six Vegas Multiplayer and I believe you mean in terms of playstyle or eh, simply the feel of gameplay. Bottomline, RB6V is slow, COD4 is fast-paced.

Yeah, definately agree. It's like inFamous and Prototype, from what I gather. They obviously share influences, but are very different beasts in truth.

I've played a lot of both games, when I first got Xbox Live Rainbow 6 Vegas was all I played from christmas '06 to basicly when CoD 4 came out, then in CoD4 I've played over 2 days according to the in game counter.


And even though they are both great games (probably my favorite online multiplayer FPS' not forgeting Halo and L4D) but they are nothing a like, the only thing that is simmilar is they have a leving up system, even that's different because you can't prestige in RB6V, CoD4 is faster paced, even the best game modes in each game are different in CoD4 I love headquarters, but in RB6V it's the one where you have to capture the package (I can't remeber the name now it's been so long since I've played it)

I guess some of the guns are similar?

If your going to say that you could at lease give some reasons. Do you mean just the fact it has an unlock system? An experience system?

He's right. Call of duty 4 is really just vegas but with slightly tweaked settings that make it easier and perks.

Cod4 is an evolution of Cod2. If you feel its too similer to R6:V then R6:V copies from Cod2/Cod1.

The cover system alone in RB6:V makes the game(s) so much more tactical than any CoD game.  They play and feel very different.  To the TC's point:BS.

Not on the 360?  Because vegas plays rather well. Vegas 2 that is.  Getting Vegas 1 in the mail probably tomorrow.
Perhaps you have the poor connection?

@SmugDarkLoser: Perhaps I don't. It was probably near release, I hear it's gotten significantly better these days.
Generally it wasn't hugely laggy but certain things caused delays that looked awkward and hit detection was a few milliseconds off. It's not as bad as say, Gears of war 2 was at launch.

I would assume you're joking or trolling with this thread... but it's not that funny so perhaps you're serious? 


These games are absolutely not the same.

-gameplay not the same (cover is not just a minor feature, it's a defining aspect of online R6V).

-persistent leveling system totally different. COD4 involves perks and customized classes, R6V involves customization of your outfit (which is really cool btw). Of course, both unlock weapons, but they are both FPSs, so of course they'll have that.

-the way people play is very different. people are much more cautious in R6V.

-the only thing they have in common is that both are awesome games and fun online.

I have played both in-depth and I believe that I am qualified to tell you that they are completely different. I don't know what gamesyou're playing, but what you say is obviously incorrect.

This.

Also, doesn't it annoy the fuck outta you when someone says something uttelry STUPID, with caps and italics and, even still theres not enough emphasis on how stupid it is?

This reminds me of a time I used to work in a game store, and we have this one idiot who thinks he knows shit about games comes in alllll the time to trade in the latest piece of shit he thinks is good and gives 'advice' to all the customers around him (IE, approaching them when they are browsing, Harry Enfield style "Ohhhh I don't believe you wanted to buy that, nah, you want this mate") one day, when COD4 was still months from release, he comes on in and says to me "Yeah, have you seen the new Call of Duty? I don't like them anymore, nah, just copying Tom Clancy, I reckon they'll get sued pretty soon"

I facepalmed so hard I actually knocked myself out.

Haha, agreed.

If you want to make an argument (to the TC), then you have to present some evidence. I see none. I have played both of those games and both have great multiplayer but the experience is much different. Shooting behind cover, upgrading, just the general feel of it....there are a lot of differences.

Yeah, but recently there have been a bunch of new users who have been posting flamebaiting crap like this was GameFAQs or NeoGAF. Examples include: Is Greg Kasavin Right or Wrong?, Video Game porn...Kind of, and MAG Killer? Most of which have been done by new users.

Eh, while its true most people can pick it up and get a few spray kills, if they are not good they quickly get frustrated and put the controller down as quickly as they picked it up, you gotta have some skill and endurance to do well at cod4 multi-player.  I like RSV too played it alot as well, but dont really see any similarities. RSV is squad based and tactical, CoD4 is much faster paced and arcady.

As someone who plays both games, They are both not even close to being the same. Except for being shooters.

True, RSV2 is my favorite current gen game, most people(including myself) kick people with no mics if they join, teamwork and communication is essential and makes it a much more fun experience

everything turns into a fanboy debacle. I was merely saying that the multiplayer in COD 4 is nothing special or new. They are both good and they both have there bad points.
