Default Vegas 2 Impressions

Mmm, good!

The old school maps look great! It's like playing the original Xbox Rainbow games with twice the frame rate and high res everything.

The new maps are cool as well. Especially the Free Comcast map. One is called Murder Town and its an unfinished construction site with lots of opportunities to kill or be killed.

Every thing was nice and smooth. No slow down or anything that lasted for more than a second. Players can jump in and out of unranked matches very easily. Leveling up is just as much fun as COD4, except you can do it in all the modes!

Though not a huge leap in graphics it feels more like a "next gen" Rainbow game than the original Vegas. Tons of interactive things in the environments like boxes of wine that crash to the floor or stacked tires in Kill House. The sound is also very well done, with great processing for identifying where shots are heard on your surround sound system. Sure that's nothing new, it just feels more varied and accurate a representation of what a gun shot one room over sounds like compared to two or three rooms over.

Anyway ... I'll be playing some more tomorrow, I'm calling in sick to try and handle my Wii shipment fuck up and to catch up on some much neglected video game time.
