Even though the ACES system goes across modes there are certain rewards that can only be unlocked in single or multiplayer. By getting a high enough score in a category, the player unlocks a specific item for that category for example, the Assault category might reward the player with a new type of grenade, while the Marksmanship category might reward the player with a new type of sniper rifle. Every single kill the player makes is organized into one of these three categories and scored based upon how the kill was performed (a headshot would count towards Marksmanship, or shooting through a wall would count towards assault, or killing an enemy while blinded by a flashbang would count towards CQB). The ACES system is divided into three parts: Marksmanship, Assault, and Close-Quarter Battle. Rather than two difficulty modes, the game now has seven.Īn additional system implemented in the game is the "Advanced Combat Enhancement and Specialization" or ACES, where players will be rewarded with different weapons based on tactics used in the game. The player can now sprint for a short distance. Certain kinds of cover can now be penetrated by weapons-fire, and parts of the environment are now destructible. Also, certain missions will now see a real-time day/night cycle. It has also been revealed that the campaign will now focus on the seedier side of Las Vegas, with more outdoor combat and daytime missions. Unlike the co-op mode in the original Rainbow Six: Vegas, the AI teammates will remain in the game during co-op and can be given orders and go-codes by the primary player. As a result, the co-op experience has been reduced to a maximum of two players, down from four in the first Rainbow Six Vegas.

In co-op, players will now be able to experience the full single-player campaign-the previous game skipped several cut-scenes and all of the in-game media (such as the picture-in-picture talking head briefings given out during each mission and Logan's responses to the NPCs). There are also several new commands, including the ability to suppress an area or throw a grenade at a specific point. In single-player, the developers claim to have vastly improved teammate AI, so that now teammates cover each other as they advance. The game is billed as "part sequel, part prequel", as the events of the campaign run both before and concurrently to the story of Logan Keller and continue after where the first game concluded. The player will assume the role of Bishop, a member of the Rainbow squad with a great deal more experience who is more deeply involved in the story. One of the biggest announcements is that Logan Keller, the lead character from the previous game, has been removed in favor of having the player create his own character to play through the campaign.
