Today Ubisoft released a patch for the Xbox 360 version Rainbow Six Vegas 2. Most of the changes only affect multiplayer. A similar patch for PS3 and PC are in the work and will be out shortly. The list of changes goes:
- Swapping to & from Pistols are now faster in Multiplayer.
- Optimized sound bank to improve weapon firing and helicopter sound clips that loop over and over.
- Servers now update their pings more often so that players have a more accurate value of server performance.
- Spawn Shield is shorter when respawning with the Leader.
- When there are more people on a team than the other, there is an overall XP modifier applied to all XP gained during the game.
- By pressing the start button, players now have access to the outfitting menu in observer mode.
- Respawning in Team Deathmatch now work like regular Deathmatch (random points throughout the map) which intensifies gameplay and minimizes spawn camping/trapping.
- Faster respawns for Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch. You no longer have to wait a full 10 seconds!
- Players who enter a room using custom search then exit will be brought back to an automatic search with the same criteria.
