I didn't see this posted anywhere else, so I thought I would share this info. If you could care less about achievements, have never played the original Rainbow Six: Vegas, or if you have already loaded this game onto your profile (ie. put it in your Xbox 360), then you can go ahead and ignore this thread.

Unfortunately Ubisoft has accidentally glitched one of their achievements by rewarding those that completed the previous RB6V on realistic difficulty and/or reached the rank of elite. The 'prize pack' that they provide, automatically promotes you to the rank of Specialist, along with giving you some extra XP and gear. Normally this would be a good thing, but this promotion forces the player to skip the rank of Private First Class, which turns out to be an achievement. The odd thing is, is that this glitch seems to affect ANYONE who has played the previous Rainbow Six, and not just those that have reached the 'prize pack' specifications.

In conclusion, if you have played the previous Rainbow Six: Vegas, and still want one of the easiest achievements in the game, then I would suggest you follow the instructions in the link below.

Finally, Major League Gaming (MLG) goes next gen. MLG has added Rainbow Six Vegas as an official game on their circuit. Scores of teams will have the chance to turn "pro" by playing R6V. This also means that MLG is finally incorporating the XBOX 360 platform in their events.

It's about time. HALO 2 was released in 2004. The XBOX which is the most dominate platform at MLG was released in 2001. You can bet that this tournament is a "feeler" for the upcoming release of HALO 3, likely to be released in November of 2007. Although HALO 2 is backwards compatible with the XBOX 360, MLG has not made the move to the XBOX 360 platform. HALO 3 will be exclusive to the XBOX 360 platform.
