Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas 2
Trivia
1001 Video Games
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 appears in the book 1001 Video Games You Must Play Before You Die by General Editor Tony Mott.
Copy protection
With patch 1.02, the game introduced copy protection issues for the digital release sold on the Direct2Drive service. Patch 1.03 resolved the problem, but it was discovered that either party actually distributed the cracked game executable by the crack group RELOADED.
German version
In some German versions (at least the German Steam version is not unaffected), the A.G.E.S. system, most blood effects and ragdoll effects on corpses were removed. The multiplayer modes of the censored and uncensored versions are not compatible. A detailed list of changes can be found on Schnittberichte.com (German).
