"Hi everyone, we've been working on a title update for Rainbow Six Vegas on XBOX360. Below you'll find the list of fixes and changes we've brought with this update:

> A bug in Ranked Matches unintentionally allowed players to play multiple rounds back to back worth large amounts of experience points. Ranked Matches now properly disconnect everyone at the end of the match.

> Non-dedicated hosts can no longer automatically launch matches without being present. On a non-dedicated host, the game will start when either everyone presses Ready, or the host presses Launch.

> Added mechanisms to detect the use of rubberbands on your gamepad to level up. Anyone doing this will receive a "player idle penalty", which means zero experience points at the end of the match.

> Fixed a bug introduced in the last patch that unintentionally increased auto-aim when using long range scopes.

> Modified the efficiency of certain Sub-Machine Guns and, to a lesser extent, Assault Rifles. Noticeable changes can be found on the MP7A1, MP9 and MTAR21.

> The Take Cover camera has been improved to fix a specific situation that allowed someone taking cover to aim-fire at a target without being seen.

> Fixed the fact that Grenades could be thrown through certain walls.

> The sound effects of explosions are now working as intended on dedicated hosts.

> Reloading your checkpoint / saved game in Singleplayer will no longer revert your difficulty level. This should help make the Rainbow Six Legend achievement more attainable.



Many of the changes we've introduced in this update are based on the feedback you, the players, have given us. We thank you for your continued support, and we hope you enjoy the improvements.



See you online!

Dev Team"

ok, on that first one... is this going to make sniper rifles useless again? a lot of ppl just came back to the game beacause of the last patch and balancing issues.. pls dont mess them up again!

the subs were too powerfull but the mtar? no diff from the ak or the m8.. just less recoil..
you guys are finally fixxing alot of things, but dont overdo it and ruin the game again.
we are just starting to get players back...

This sounds fishy to me i think this is a fake.

[venomshot629]

Go ahead and think its a fake, I'll try to go back and take a screen capture of it brb.

for god's sakes give the man the benefit of the doubt, revel in possibilities for once, if it dosen't happen, break his knee-caps. Until then, Akedo to answer your question, the sniper rifles would be un-changed because they have no reticule (out of scope mode) and therefore are exempt from auto-aim in the 1st place.... and are you cray, the MTAR has a massive and I mean massive, ROF advantage over all other rifles especially the AK.

[venomshot629]

Here you go. The proof is in the picture.

[T3rry1]

All i can say is... it's about time.

I hope you brought my precious MP7A1 back to the wonderous glory it once was.

[navyredman]

I'm sure it probably is real. The question you should be asking, is why did they delete the thread?

Those things probably didn't get fixed.

wow, uber pwned, fast reflexes on the screen capture. hoo-rah for enlightening the public.
