This is the best multiplayer game I have ever played. It is so much fairer than say Gears of War and, although it helps, you don't have to know every map like the back of your hand because you have a mini-map onscreen. This gives you a good chance against the veterans. The multiplayer has a lower level of entry than most games, chances are you won't get capped after walking only two paces, at least if your'e careful. The game lobby and set up are the best i've seen in multiplayer games. You can see all the current games, how far into the game the players are, how many players are in the game ect. This makes it very easy to select a game. Also the community is strong, there are always 100's of people playing this game at any given time. Coupled with this there are a lot of modes and maps to play with especially if you have downloaded the two free expansion packs.
The character system is great, you create a character by modelling the way you want your fighter to look then you kit them out with your choice of weapons and armour. Over time you gain experience and rank up from private to elite (i think elite is the top I'm only private first class so I need to get better!).
Wheter you want a coop or competative experience Rainbow 6 Vegas does both incredibly well. I would buy this game if it shipped as multiplayer only (it kicks Shadowrun's ass) the fact that it also has a decent single player mode with tactical squad based action really pushes the score up for me 10 on 10, one of the best games i've played.
