R6 Vegas 2 Now Available on PC

Rainbow Six Vegas 2 hits retail stores in North America today, and arrives on European shelves this Thursday, complete with 1.01 Title Update.

What's 1.01 title update? Does that mean patching has been done between the 360/ps3 release to PC?

If so, thanks!

where can we get the game today!?

I love it. No word on fixes in the works for the 360 or ps3 versions after a month, but the PC version gets fixed on release day.

Well I'm assuming that they are being equally worked on, but you have to remember, both the 360 and the PS3 have to go through in house testing and approval phases, something the computer does not. I like most appriciate that they at least tried releases the PC version with some of the issues worked out, at least the people recieving the game get a more polished version.

That's all well and good, but there definitely should have been an announcement made by now about fixes coming to the console versions of the game. At this point, most people are probably assuming that the needed fixes will not come.

I see your point, but these days patches are the norm, and are never anounced. It's just the way it works.

Well this is what the pc has been dealing with lately so welcome to our world. Unless we all as gamers demand better this is what you can expect and alot worse.

I love how absolutely NO stores have it available on the "release" date. They should make the release date one day later so people know when they can actually buy it.

As far as the patch goes... PC's are making a comeback baby. My jaw dropped when I actually saw the fact they added in game voice support. UBI might be able to pull this one off.

I was thinking about something. What if they left some features out and intentionally left in problems so that they could release this patch on the first day to gain some trust in Ubi.

Am i reading this correctly?!?!

EB games in Toronto will have R6V2 on APR 17th. So much for 'release day.' Epic fail.

...and thanks for the patch for PC. Enough with getting shafted (See Vegas 1 for PC).
