message: The gameplay section stated that the health system in vegas is similar to the ones used in "Call of Duty 2, Halo, and Gears of War." The Halo reference is incorrect. The original Halo had a standard. limited health bar. Halo 2 was the first in the series to have regenerative health. The original Halo DID have a regenerative shield, but the health was limited to seven bars, if memory serves. -- Mellesime 21:17, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

message: This article seems pretty bad. Anyone with experience, would it be wise to put the "multiplayer unlockables" in a table of some kind? It takes up a large amount of space right now.
Also, the plot section seems to be an in-depth walkthrough of the entire game. Perhaps it should be summarized to remove all the unnecessary parts? 68.219.117.67 04:31, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I have been looking for a way to sign a guest onto xbox live with me. Everyone I ask in the game says I can not.

If you're playing split screen, you and up to one guest can play on a single Xbox 360 system. After you sign in, each player can edit and modify his or her identity."Deathfromace 06:16, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

They are suggestions for keeping Wiki content up to a respectable standard. Let me also add with my opinion your reasoning on this is flawd, again – my opinion, and asinine in its nature.

thread_title:  Weapons? 

message: Anyone know what this weapon is actually supposed to be? Google brings up some other fiction that used it, but little else. The only clue in the game was a cutscene where someone was apparently exposed to it and had his face melt off or something. --Ted 07:32, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  'Micropulse bomb'? 

message: I have re-merged the list to this article. The list was up for AfD, and while I do not think it should have it's own article, I do think a list of weapons in a video game is encyclopedic (as part of the game's article) and inherently verifiable. --Falcorian (talk) 18:45, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Look at the discussion already on this talk page. The Weapons section has been removed and the relevant article has also been through the deletion process. A weapon list violates WP:NOT: Wikipedia is not a game guide nor is it an indiscriminate list of trivial. A full weapon list is naturally important to the game and its players, but of minimal value for readers who do not play the game. Just because such information is useful does not mean it meets Wikipedia guidelines. --Scottie theNerd 12:13, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  PS3 Info 

message: Shouldn't this just be listed as a FPS rather than a tactical shooter? I realize the series is traditionally considered tactical, but the changes in this game prevent it from being realistic enough to be a simulation game. Regenerative health means that you don't necessarily need to use realistic tactics except when extremely outnumbered, which is also the case in any other non-tactical shooter. Not to mention the recoil is less realistic than even counter-strike, which has always been considered too run and gun to be tactical. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ubersuntzu (talk • contribs) 
Read Tactical shooter, it almost describes R6V. And the regenerative health is fairly weak compared to other games, that is you can sometimes get shot only two times and die, and it regenerates very slowly so you are forced to take cover until it completely regenerates. Also the lack of recoil is only visual, meaning that the gun appears not to recoil very much, but if you watch the tracers they disperse heavily.--DanMP5 (Talk | Contribs) 15:07, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Realism doesn't affect whether a game is a tactical shooter. A game can be set in a sci-fi environment and given the tactical gameplay approach. Vegas forces players to use cover, use tactical items, command a small unit in team assaults and the game's artificial intelligence is designed to respond to these tactics. Regenerating health doesn't make it any less tactical; arguably it's only used to bridge the gap between firefights rather than having a traditional R6 mission-style campaign or looking for health packs. --Scottie_theNerd 01:59, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  5th game 

message: What with the current hoolah between Epic and Silicon Knights, I've come across some evidence that R6V is not actually using UE3 only for its game engine. http://www.mecom.com.au/temp/scan.jpg This is from the PC version which states it is clearly using UE2.5.  I don't doubt that R6V is using some of the UE3 code, the lack of a true AA mode would suggest it is using some UE3 technology, but it would seem that despite the fact UE3 was licensed for R6V, it is actually using UE2.5 as the core.
The PS3 version is the only version of R6V that used UE3 proper, the Xbox 360 and PC versions both used a heavily modified 2.5 build.
That is highly unlikely as at the moment UE3 isn't even running on the PS3 hardware properly, that is why Sony have been lednding development and financial assistance to Epic to get UE3 optimized for Cell. Phil Harrison confirmed as much here http://kotaku.com/gaming/dyack-justified%3F/phil-harrison-talks-unreal-engine-fixes-for-the-ps3-280944.php Not to mention that KOEI have delayed Fatal Interia multiple times for the PS3 due to UE3 not being complete for the PS3 http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3160735
: Hi,
Unfortunately, Wikipedia isn't a place for original research or rumors. Unless it has been specifically pointed out by Ubisoft or some reputable source then that shouldn't be included. IGN states the RB6 PC version uses UE3 as well as numerous other sites, so we'll have to stick with that. ResurgamII 19:48, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
