You Know When You've Been Tango'd

As an update to my last post I put Rainbow Six Vegas 2 into the 360 for a quick spin of Terrorist Hunt mode.

Starting the game for the first time scored me some experience points (you earn xp and level up your character in 2) and gear as I'd played R6V 1 already - handy.

I fired up the Kill House level on Normal with the default weapons. The target was to defeat 25 terrorists or 'tangos' as they seem to be known here. The first few attempts saw me die almost instantly. So I switched tack, rather than going into the building I headed for the roof. This netted me a few tangos but I was soon picked off as I was too busy looking one way.

At this point I did what all good inept gamers do: headed for Youtube. I watched this video of some fella cleaning up on Realistic difficulty. Emulating this chap got me results, after a couple of goes I got down to 5 tangos left before getting wasted. I got some sort of award but I was too busy 'taking out the trash' to see what it was, it netted me big xp though.

However I failed to capitalise on this, the next couple of goes seeing me fail. My problem is when there are too many people coming from too many directions my fingers go all over the shop, I'm crouching and standing up, reloading, going into the scope mode, all the while those damn tangos are closing in.

I've only played about an hour of it so I must be making some progress. Anything with levelling involved is instantly addictive to me, so hopefully it will keep me playing.
