It has only been little over a month since Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 was released, unfortunately fans have been complaining about a number of bugs and glitches in both the single player campaign, and the multiplayer. Thankfully Ubisoft, the makers of Rainbow Six, have had their ears to the ground and are taking into account the issues that its fans have been having with a large update to the popular game.

These following updates however, are only for the Xbox 360 players and are available now as an automatic download when you log onto Xbox Live. Ubisoft did state in its official forum that it is currently working on an upcoming update for PS3 users, but there hasn’t been any release date planned for these fixes.

The following is a list of improvements and fixes as stated on the Ubisoft official forum.

Improvements

• Weapon Switch Swapping to & from Pistols are now faster in Multiplayer.
• Sound Loops Optimized sound bank to improve weapon firing and helicopter sound clips that loop over and over.
• Pings Servers now update their pings more often so that players have a more accurate value of server performance.
• Team Leader Respawn Modification Spawn Shield is shorter when respawning with the Leader.
• XP Modifiers 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.
• Outfitting By pressing the start button, players now have access to the outfitting menu in observer mode.
• Team Deathmatch Respawn Modification Respawning in Team Deathmatch now work like regular Deathmatch (random points throughout the map) which intensifies gameplay and minimizes spawn camping/trapping.
• Faster Respawns Faster respawns for Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch. You no longer have to wait a full 10 seconds!
• Custom Search Players who enter a room using custom search then exit will be brought back to an automatic search with the same criteria.

Fixes
