==Gameplay==
==Gameplay==
''Rainbow Six: Vegas'' features a new health system where the player regenerates health while not taking fire. However, the regeneration is incredibly slow in comparison to other games, and if the player does not move to cover quickly enough, one or two more bullets will lead to death. The player's vision is also greatly interfered with while damaged. Furthermore, a third person view has been included for moments where players can blind-fire around corners to lay down suppression or covering fire. Other changes include larger enemy presence with much tougher artificial intelligence, a shift in focus where kills will be much harder to obtain, a reincarnated aiming system similar to the aiming system of the old Rainbow Six games and ''[[Call of Duty 2]]'' and ''[[Resistance: Fall of Man]]'', a context-sensitive [[D-pad]] based command system for the player's squad and sections of gameplay where the player will scale buildings and cause environmental damage. This command system was borrowed from another [[Ubisoft]] game, ''[[Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter]]''. The player can also give voice commands using the Xbox 360 headset.
''Rainbow Six Vegas'' changes the series with multiple new features, such as a new health system where the player regenerates health while not taking fire (the player may sometimes be killed instantly, without a chance to regenerate health; this usually happens from grenades, as well as taking close-range fire from very powerful weapons like shotguns, particularly to the head). The player's vision is greatly impaired while damaged, similar to the health system in ''[[Gears of War]]''.<ref name="gamespot">{{cite web|access-date=30 December 2009|url=http://au.gamespot.com/xbox360/action/rainbowsixvegas/review.html|title=Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas Review|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110130033135/http://au.gamespot.com/xbox360/action/rainbowsixvegas/review.html|archive-date=30 January 2011}}</ref> Furthermore, a [[Third-person shooter|third-person]] view has been included for moments where players can blind-fire around corners to lay down suppression or covering fire.<ref name="gamespot" /> Other changes include a larger enemy presence and much tougher artificial intelligence,<ref name="dailygame">{{cite web|url=http://www.dailygame.net/news/archives/006073.php|title=Rainbow Six Vegas|date=February 11, 2006|access-date=30 December 2009|archive-date=6 July 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110706031108/http://www.dailygame.net/news/archives/006073.php|url-status=dead}}</ref> a shift in focus to where kills will be much harder to obtain, a reincarnated aiming system similar to the aiming system of the old ''Rainbow Six'' games and a [[Context sensitive user interface|context-sensitive]] [[D-pad]] based command system for the player's squad and sections of gameplay where the player will scale buildings and cause environmental damage. The player can also give voice commands using the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 headset,<ref name="dailygame" /> but teammates are no longer audible through the headset.


The developers have also opted to not include any cutscenes, instead telling the story through video feeds played through the heads-up display, similar to ''Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter''. Most important was the developers' decision to remove the mission planning feature. Also, ''Vegas'' is the first ''Rainbow Six'' game where weapons can be obtained from dead enemies.
There is no mission planning feature or save system; instead, the game uses a checkpoint system.<ref name="dailygame" /> The developers also opted to almost entirely exclude cutscenes, telling the story through video feeds on a heads-up display. The player also has various skills, such as the ability to rappel up and down buildings while shooting and the ability to fast rope into an area.


==Plot==
''Rainbow Six: Vegas'' features real world weapons (over 40 in all) including numerous [[assault rifle]]s, [[submachine gun]]s, [[pistol]]s and [[grenade]]s as well as other tactical explosives and devices.
In 2010, Rainbow operatives Logan Keller, Gabriel Nowak and Kan Akahashi are deployed to a [[Mexico|Mexican]] border town, where they are tasked with capturing Irena Morales, a terrorist ringleader. As the team reaches its landing zone, Logan is separated from the others after he [[fast-rope]]s down first.


Logan fights his way through the town and manages to regroup with Gabriel and Kan at an old church. After infiltrating a train yard and freeing a group of hostages, the team eventually makes its way to a mine where Irena is hiding. However, they are ambushed, and Gabriel and Kan are captured as Irena escapes.
===Multiplayer===
[[Image:TCR6Vegas1.jpg|thumb|right|Gameplay screenshot inside a casino.]]
The multiplayer modes have gained a lot of praise for the same tactical action as the single player mode whilst adding some improvements. These include customizable characters ([[Xbox Live Vision Camera]] owners can "[[digimask]]" their face onto their character), the ability to choose equipment and add items such as laser-sights to weapons and to choose the armour's camouflage scheme. As the player progresses through online play, his/her character gains experience points after every match, and rises in rank. There are sixteen total ranks. When players rise in rank, they will unlock new equipment and weapons, intended to offer more options for customization without putting novice players at a disadvantage. There are currently eight multiplayer game modes; Survival, Team Survival, Sharpshooter, Team Sharpshooter, Retrieval, co-op Terrorist Hunt, as well as two new modes, Attack & Defend and Co-op Campaign. Multiplayer mode supports up to fourteen players, when "Dedicated Server" is selected during the match creation process, the host can sacrifice his ability to play and dedicate his connection fully to the other players to improve overall connection performance and reduce lag issues. With the use of the Dedicated Server option, up to sixteen players can compete in one match, excluding the hosts presence. Hosting a match on a Dedicated Server with all sixteen players also unlocks an achievement called "Master of Ceremonies" for the game. Each mode can also be customized, by changing options such as the amount of respawns each player gets and restricting certain equipment and weapons.


Alone and armed only with his [[pistol]], Logan fights his way through an abandoned factory, eventually escaping by helicopter. He is then redeployed to handle a related crisis in [[Las Vegas, Nevada|Las Vegas]]. He is dropped outside the Calypso Casino and links up with his new team: Michael Walters and Jung Park. The team clears out the casino and saves a group of hostages, including a [[NATO]] weapons researcher, who reveals that ''another'' scientist has been captured.
==Plot==
{{spoiler}}
The player begins the game as newly appointed team leader Logan Keller, with two members, Gabriel Nowak and Kan Akahashi, in a border town in [[Mexico]]. Logan fast-ropes down alone and regroups with the team later. They eventually make their way to a mine where they try to capture terrorist Irena Morales. Logan is buried in a pile of falling debris, and Kan and Gabriel are captured. Logan is extracted without finding his comrades. He has a conversation with the new leader of Rainbow, and thus designated “Rainbow Six,” [[Domingo Chavez]] about the incident.


The team then rescues a kidnapped reporter, who informs them that the terrorists are using a news van as a communications hub. Logan's team sends a transmission and destroys the hub, then heads to rescue the second weapons researcher. Rainbow is dropped on the Vertigo Spire luxury hotel, where the team finds and rescues the missing researcher, who informs the team about a micro-pulse bomb that was planted in the Vertigo. Michael disarms the bomb, and the team is then extracted to locate Gabriel and Kan. However, a normal bomb devastates a tower adjacent to the hotel.
Upon reaching Las Vegas, Logan is taken outside of the Calypso Casino where he meets with his new team, Michael Walters, an African-British demolitions expert specializing in heavy weapons. The other team member is Jung Park, a Korean recon and electronics expert. The team infiltrates the Calypso casino by blasting a hole in a side wall and entering. Once they clear out the Casino, they must rescue Doctor Philipp Smythe, a [[NATO]] weapons researcher. They extract with Doctor Smythe, who tells the [[FBI]] agents who are there to meet the team that they need to save another weapons researcher, Dr. Williams.


The team is dispatched to Dante's Casino, where they find Gabriel and Kan. However, Kan is fatally wounded during extraction. He manages to reveal that the attack in Las Vegas is a distraction before dying. The team then proceeds to a theatre to hack a terrorist server where they discover that Irena's target is the Nevada Dam.
The team is taken to a Chinese restaurant in order to rescue reporter Trish Gracie. Once they clear out the restaurant and rescue her, she informs them that the terrorists are using a news van as a communications hub. The team makes their way down [[Fremont Street]] and eventually reaches the van. Jung hacks into the system while Logan and Michael keep terrorists away while they come in a wave. Afterwards, Michael places a demolition charge on the van and detonates it, destroying the van. The team is then extracted via helicopter and taken to rescue the other NATO researcher.


As they arrive at the dam, the team discovers ''another'' micro-pulse bomb which they defuse. They then encounter a hostage who informs them that the dam will collapse if they do not activate an emergency release valve. After activating the valve, the team proceed into the facility, where they discover that it is a weapons research lab. They also find that the terrorists have a micro-pulse missile on top of the dam.
Next the team is dropped on Vertigo Spire, which is similar to the [[Stratosphere Las Vegas|Stratosphere]]. The team finds and saves Dr. Williams from the terrorists and he informs them of two bombs, one which destroys the top floors of a building across the way. The other is a micropulse bomb, which the team finds and disarms. The team is then extracted to save Gabriel and Kan.


Logan presses forward, confronts Irena, and kills her. The team then heads to the top of the dam and destroys the missile. Logan receives a transmission from Gabriel, who tells him that ''he'' was Irena's mole before hijacking the team's helicopter.
The team reaches Dante’s Casino, still under construction, and clears the roof. During this roof clearing, the bell in the tower falls causing damage and a fire in the lower floors. Eventually the team reaches Gabriel and frees him. They next reach Kan who is fatally shot before they get to him. He reveals that there is a plot where the attack in Las Vegas is a distraction. The team next moves to the theater to gain information on the terrorists plans from the server there. The team then heads to the roof and extracts.


As Gabriel attempts to escape with the helicopter, Logan can either let him escape or shoot him down. Later, Logan and the team are sent out to locate the organization behind Irena and Gabriel's terrorist activity. Much later, a news clip states that a helicopter had crashed into a lake, but no bodies were found.
The team then approaches a dam on the Colorado River which is nearly identical to the Hoover Dam. The team descends onto a bridge in front of the dam where a wounded engineer informs Logan of the terrorists bombs on the bridge. The team makes their way to the second story of the bridge where Michael defuses the bomb with three seconds remaining. They then fast-rope via safety cables to the bottom of the dam. They enter the dam and save a hostage who informs them that the dam will buckle under the pressure of the lake and how to relieve the pressure. They do this by using an emergency release valve and then go further into the dam and find that it is a weapons research lab, where doctors Smythe and Williams inform the team the terrorists have a [[micropulse]] missile on top of the dam. Next they find and kill Irena Morales. Finally, they extract to the top of the dam and plant a charge to the missile which detonates it in mid-air, without triggering the [[micropulse]] payload. They then receive a transmission from Gabe who tells them that he is the leak on the inside of Rainbow and that this is not over. The team rushes to the other side of the dam to see Joanna Torres and Brody Lukin kicked out of the helicopter, Brody unconscious. The team must protect Joanna and Brody from terrorists momentarily; Gabe and the terrorist get away.
There are two possible endings:


==Development==
*The player does not manage to fire at the helicopter. The game ends with Logan commenting that they need to find who was behind Gabe's and Irena's operation. The credits then roll.
The game was in development for more than 2 years.<ref name="development"/> 180 people worked on the game.<ref name="development">{{cite web|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/97995089/the-gazette/|title=The Code:Physics computer sciense and passion|newspaper=[[Montreal Gazette]]|page=4|date=November 6, 2006|accessdate=March 20, 2022|via=[[Newspapers.com]]}}</ref>


===Patches===
*The player manages to take a few shots at the escape helicopter, which then crashes making the player believe Gabe to be dead. The game ends with Logan's above comments and a "To Be Continued" screen before going to the credits, which start with a brief overlay of news reports about Las Vegas being saved and also that only the body of the helicopter pilot was found.
During November 2007, the North American Support Supervisor announced on the Ubisoft forums that Ubisoft "has and will always provide support for this title", and also confirmed that Ubisoft was working on another patch."<ref name="UbisoftForum">{{cite web|title=Ubisoft Forum |url=http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/3801065024/m/3711069245 |work=Ubisoft Official Forums |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070821203220/http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/3801065024/m/3711069245 |archive-date=August 21, 2007 }}</ref> The patch was released on July 19, 2007, and updated the game to version 1.05.

===Collector's Edition===
These [[cliffhanger]] endings of the game suggest a sequel to ''Rainbow Six: Vegas'', although there has not been any official confirmation.
A Limited Collector's Edition of ''Rainbow Six: Vegas'' was released at the game's launch featuring alternative cover art and a bonus disc. The bonus disc contained a documentary on the making of ''Rainbow Six: Vegas'' and a ''Rainbow Six'' retrospective, which features information on all ''Rainbow Six'' games in the series.<ref name="TomClancy">{{cite web|title=Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas (Limited Collector's Edition) for Xbox 360|url=http://www.mobygames.com/game/xbox360/tom-clancys-rainbow-six-vegas-limited-collectors-edition|publisher=MobyGames|access-date=2010-05-31}}</ref>

===Expansion packs===
On April 18, 2007, the ''Player's Pack Red Edition'' was released as downloadable content on [[Xbox Live]]. The pack includes two new game modes. The first is "Assassination" whereby one team has to protect a [[Very Important Person|VIP]] armed only with a pistol, whilst the other team needs to assassinate him. The second is ''Conquest'' (a "capture and hold"-style game, whereby each team has to hold as many [[strategy|strategic]] points for as long as possible). Three new maps were also included: "Doscala Restaurant," "Marshalling Yard," and "Roof." The maps "Killhouse" and "Border Town" have been redesigned and packaged as two new "redux" maps. The expansion pack comes directly after an update was released for the game. All original game modes and maps are compatible with those featured in the ''Player's Pack Red Edition''. On July 6, 2007, the Red Pack was made available for download free of charge.<ref name="RainbowSix2007">{{cite web|title=Rainbow Six Vegas: Player's Pack Red Edition|url=http://rainbowsixgame.us.ubi.com/article.php?news_id=5424|publisher=Ubisoft|access-date=2010-05-31|date=April 18, 2007}}</ref>

On June 26, 2007, a new downloadable content pack was released. The ''Player's Pack Black Edition'' features five new maps. "Red Lotus", "Wartown" and "Neon Graveyard" are the three newly featured maps. "Streets: Redux" has been redesigned in a similar fashion to the Redux maps found in the ''Player's Pack Red Edition'', and "Presidio" is a map overhauled and upgraded from ''[[Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield]]''. On June 27, 2007, the ''Black Edition'' was retracted from the Xbox Live Marketplace. Ubisoft announced that it was pulled due to a pricing error and that the pack (which was originally priced at 800 Microsoft Points) was intended to be free.<ref name="RainbowSix2007a">{{cite web|title=Rainbow Six Vegas Black Edition Map Pack Update|url=http://news.teamxbox.com/xbox/13855/Rainbow-Six-Vegas-Black-Edition-Map-Pack-Update/|publisher=TeamXbox|access-date=2010-05-31|date=June 29, 2007}}</ref> On June 30, 2007, the ''Black Edition'' was re-released for download free of charge; Xbox Live users who paid for the pack had their points reimbursed.<ref name="Alexis2007">{{cite web|title=Rainbow Six Vegas: Player's Pack: Black Edition Downloadable Content Now Available For Xbox 360 |url=http://www.gamingbits.com/content/view/2245/2/|publisher=Gaming Bits|access-date=2010-05-31|author=Alexis M.|date=June 26, 2007}}</ref>

The PC version has also received positive reviews as well. However, some in the PC community have expressed disappointment that the game requires a video card that supports [[High Level Shader Language|Shader Model 3.0]]. Many gamers with low-end graphics cards simply can not play the game. A poll is being taken on the Ubisoft forum to patch, and thusly remove, the Shader Model 3.0 requirement. <ref>http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/3801065024/m/8591038515?r=9481068515</ref> However, it is unlikely this will ever happen, due to the fact that Ubisoft has stated before that the reason they made Vegas SM3 only was due to the fact that delivering an experience comparable to the one on Xbox 360 would be impossible without an SM3 card. Moreover, a growing concern over lack of further support in form of [[patches]] from Ubisoft has resulted in daily discussions on boycotting and legal action.

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas is the sixth game in the Rainbow Six series of video games. It was released in November 2006 for the Xbox 360, December 2006 for Windows, and in June 2007 for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable. The game's storyline follows a new team that is dispatched to Las Vegas, Nevada to defeat international terrorist Irena Morales and her army of mercenaries that are repeatedly attacking key locations in the city. A sequel developed by Ubisoft Montreal was released on Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 consoles in March 2008 and on PC in April 2008.[12] The game is also playable on Xbox Series X with online features still available.[13]

Gameplay

[edit]

Rainbow Six Vegas changes the series with multiple new features, such as a new health system where the player regenerates health while not taking fire (the player may sometimes be killed instantly, without a chance to regenerate health; this usually happens from grenades, as well as taking close-range fire from very powerful weapons like shotguns, particularly to the head). The player's vision is greatly impaired while damaged, similar to the health system in Gears of War.[14] Furthermore, a third-person view has been included for moments where players can blind-fire around corners to lay down suppression or covering fire.[14] Other changes include a larger enemy presence and much tougher artificial intelligence,[15] a shift in focus to where kills will be much harder to obtain, a reincarnated aiming system similar to the aiming system of the old Rainbow Six games and a context-sensitive D-pad based command system for the player's squad and sections of gameplay where the player will scale buildings and cause environmental damage. The player can also give voice commands using the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 headset,[15] but teammates are no longer audible through the headset.

There is no mission planning feature or save system; instead, the game uses a checkpoint system.[15] The developers also opted to almost entirely exclude cutscenes, telling the story through video feeds on a heads-up display. The player also has various skills, such as the ability to rappel up and down buildings while shooting and the ability to fast rope into an area.

Plot

[edit]

In 2010, Rainbow operatives Logan Keller, Gabriel Nowak and Kan Akahashi are deployed to a Mexican border town, where they are tasked with capturing Irena Morales, a terrorist ringleader. As the team reaches its landing zone, Logan is separated from the others after he fast-ropes down first.

Logan fights his way through the town and manages to regroup with Gabriel and Kan at an old church. After infiltrating a train yard and freeing a group of hostages, the team eventually makes its way to a mine where Irena is hiding. However, they are ambushed, and Gabriel and Kan are captured as Irena escapes.

Alone and armed only with his pistol, Logan fights his way through an abandoned factory, eventually escaping by helicopter. He is then redeployed to handle a related crisis in Las Vegas. He is dropped outside the Calypso Casino and links up with his new team: Michael Walters and Jung Park. The team clears out the casino and saves a group of hostages, including a NATO weapons researcher, who reveals that another scientist has been captured.

The team then rescues a kidnapped reporter, who informs them that the terrorists are using a news van as a communications hub. Logan's team sends a transmission and destroys the hub, then heads to rescue the second weapons researcher. Rainbow is dropped on the Vertigo Spire luxury hotel, where the team finds and rescues the missing researcher, who informs the team about a micro-pulse bomb that was planted in the Vertigo. Michael disarms the bomb, and the team is then extracted to locate Gabriel and Kan. However, a normal bomb devastates a tower adjacent to the hotel.

The team is dispatched to Dante's Casino, where they find Gabriel and Kan. However, Kan is fatally wounded during extraction. He manages to reveal that the attack in Las Vegas is a distraction before dying. The team then proceeds to a theatre to hack a terrorist server where they discover that Irena's target is the Nevada Dam.

As they arrive at the dam, the team discovers another micro-pulse bomb which they defuse. They then encounter a hostage who informs them that the dam will collapse if they do not activate an emergency release valve. After activating the valve, the team proceed into the facility, where they discover that it is a weapons research lab. They also find that the terrorists have a micro-pulse missile on top of the dam.

Logan presses forward, confronts Irena, and kills her. The team then heads to the top of the dam and destroys the missile. Logan receives a transmission from Gabriel, who tells him that he was Irena's mole before hijacking the team's helicopter.

As Gabriel attempts to escape with the helicopter, Logan can either let him escape or shoot him down. Later, Logan and the team are sent out to locate the organization behind Irena and Gabriel's terrorist activity. Much later, a news clip states that a helicopter had crashed into a lake, but no bodies were found.

Development

[edit]

The game was in development for more than 2 years.[16] 180 people worked on the game.[16]

Patches

[edit]

During November 2007, the North American Support Supervisor announced on the Ubisoft forums that Ubisoft "has and will always provide support for this title", and also confirmed that Ubisoft was working on another patch."[17] The patch was released on July 19, 2007, and updated the game to version 1.05. Since that time, Ubisoft has released the latest patch 1.06.[18]

Collector's Edition

[edit]

A Limited Collector's Edition of Rainbow Six: Vegas was released at the game's launch featuring alternative cover art and a bonus disc. The bonus disc contained a documentary on the making of Rainbow Six: Vegas and a Rainbow Six retrospective, which features information on all Rainbow Six games in the series.[19]

Expansion packs

[edit]

On April 18, 2007, the Player's Pack Red Edition was released as downloadable content on Xbox Live. The pack includes two new game modes. The first is "Assassination" whereby one team has to protect a VIP armed only with a pistol, whilst the other team needs to assassinate him. The second is Conquest (a "capture and hold"-style game, whereby each team has to hold as many strategic points for as long as possible). Three new maps were also included: "Doscala Restaurant," "Marshalling Yard," and "Roof." The maps "Killhouse" and "Border Town" have been redesigned and packaged as two new "redux" maps. The expansion pack comes directly after an update was released for the game. All original game modes and maps are compatible with those featured in the Player's Pack Red Edition. On July 6, 2007, the Red Pack was made available for download free of charge.[20]

On June 26, 2007, a new downloadable content pack was released. The Player's Pack Black Edition features five new maps. "Red Lotus", "Wartown" and "Neon Graveyard" are the three newly featured maps. "Streets: Redux" has been redesigned in a similar fashion to the Redux maps found in the Player's Pack Red Edition, and "Presidio" is a map overhauled and upgraded from Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield. On June 27, 2007, the Black Edition was retracted from the Xbox Live Marketplace. Ubisoft announced that it was pulled due to a pricing error and that the pack (which was originally priced at 800 Microsoft Points) was intended to be free.[21] On June 30, 2007, the Black Edition was re-released for download free of charge; Xbox Live users who paid for the pack had their points reimbursed.[22]

Both the Red and the Black player packs were released for PC platform on July 26, 2007, and are included in the PS3 retail version.[23][24]

Reception

[edit]

The Xbox 360 edition of Rainbow Six: Vegas was released to very positive reviews from major gaming news outlets, such as GameSpy (5/5),[46] GameSpot (9.1/10),[42] IGN (9.3/10),[55] and TeamXbox (9.5/10).[63] IGN called Vegas the "best first-person shooter on the Xbox 360", while GameSpot described the game as an "excellent, immersive tactical shooter". Hyper's Cam Shea commended the game for its "fantastic visual design, game mechanics and multiplayer". However, he criticized "some of the voice acting and terrorist supply closets".[64] The PC and PS3 versions have also received positive reviews,[27][31] while the PSP version received mixed reviews.[28][32]

Rainbow Six Vegas has won numerous awards, including "Best First-Person Shooter",[65] "Best Xbox 360 First-Person Shooter",[66] "Best Online Game",[67] and "Best Xbox Live Game"[68] in IGN's Best of 2006, as well as an "Editor's Choice Award" from GameSpot. Gaming Target also selected the title as one of "52 Games We will Still Be Playing From 2006".[69] It also received the "Best Online Game" award from Official Xbox Magazine in their annual Game of the Year awards.[citation needed] The editors of Computer Games Magazine presented Vegas with their 2006 "Best Action Game" award and named it the fourth-best computer game of the year.[70] During the 10th Annual Interactive Achievement Awards, the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences awarded Rainbow Six: Vegas with "First-Person Action Game of the Year", along with receiving a nomination for "Outstanding Achievement in Art Direction".[71]

According to Ubisoft,[72] as of March 31, 2007, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas had sold 1.7 million copies. The Xbox 360 version received a "Platinum" sales award from the Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association (ELSPA),[73] indicating sales of at least 300,000 copies in the United Kingdom.[74]

Major League Gaming

[edit]

In early 2007, Rainbow Six: Vegas became the first Xbox 360 title to join the Major League Gaming (MLG) Circuit. It premiered in the opening event of the season in Charlotte, North Carolina. This game had its last showing at Las Vegas Nevada, the final stop on the 2007 MLG Pro Circuit. However, Rainbow Six: Vegas 2, the game's sequel, was featured on the 2008 MLG Pro Circuit, with its first showing in San Diego, California.
