Rainbow six vegas fans - does rainbow six vegas 2 stay true to the original?

I didn't know if I should post this in the R6V forum or the R6V2 forum...so I posted it here!

So bascially the topic kind of says it all.

I am only really after the opinion of the true fans of the original - the guys that play it day in day out. I want to know if the game has stayed true and plays the same, or if it has gone a bit cod 4 with the sprinting?

O wasn't going to bother with R6V2 until I noticed that the original has taken a massive hit in its user base.

I might hold off for a bit. Is there like a ton of people playing this? It might have been just an off night, but there was quite a limited number of roooms on the old vegas last night - I assume that all the elite/old players have now moved onto the new vegas

they improved some things, but the game mechamincs are basicly the same. it's great imo

ok, cool

and how about the glitch font of things, have they ironed out any of the glitch issues?

i agree. and i love act 6. it's a level many people hate for some reason...

The SP was fantastic, but the MP feels very sloppy. The lack of a map actually hurts the game, where I thought it was going to help. Some match types are rediculously short, others feel like they were tacked on. The game also suffers from the jack asses playin it. I don't want to listen to a bunch of fools for 10 minutes between matches that will launch when they feel good and ready, the game should take care of matchmaking itself like CoD4 and H3.

If a patch comes around that tightens up the performance issues, at least to the level of the first I think it has the potential to be better then CoD4, as for now I am kind of regretting trading it in.

i saved the final battle for today. so it's safe to say i'll finish the SP today.

then it's online and waiting for Mario kart Wii, Dark Sector and GTA4

Sorry, I should have said that my questions were mainly geared towards the online/multiplayer rather than the single player game.

Do they still have the attack and defend game modes? Attack and defend on calypso casino was where it was at for me in the first rainbow six. Everyone played it and everyone knew the "nick names" for the areas of the maps, so you could have some great tactical team based gameplay with a bunch of total strangers.

completely agree...i played the original A LOT, almost daily....i got R6V2 last night and i love it, but i've only tried the single player so far, which is much better than part 1. im loving this game, more than the original....the minor changes have added a lot of depth.
