When most people go to Las Vegas, it usually takes them a while to muster the energy (and bankroll) to make a return visit. Not so with Ubisoft. The French developer announced that it is preparing new downloadable content for the recently released Xbox 360 version of Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas.
Due out on Xbox Live Marketplace at the end of March, the Player's Pack Red Edition content pack will include five more multiplayer maps and two new game modes for Vegas. Ubisoft has not announced a price point for the content.
Of the five maps, three will be brand new and two will be Rainbow Six: Vegas maps--Border Town and Killhouse--that have been "revisited and relit." The three new maps are:
Doscala Restaurant--set in Downtown Las Vegas off Fremont Street
Marshalling Yard--a service yard in the center of an industrial district used to store cars
Roof--a coffee factory in Mexico overrun by gang violence
In the new assassination mode, one team will be tasked with defending a VIP, while the other team does its best to take him out. Total Conquest sees teams trying to control strategic points for a certain amount of time.

This has been a terrible week for significant others. Not only were their loved ones drawn away from designated "snuggle time" by two delicious new maps for Halo 2, but now they'll have to contend with new DLC for Rainbow 6: Vegas. Yes, the Player's Pack Red Edition ... the one announced two months ago. There was also a freebie auto-update released for the game, which you can read about here.
In case you didn't hear before, the 800-point pack includes two new game modes: Assasination (Team 1: Let's kill that guy! Team 2: You'd better not!) and Total Conquest, which is King of the Hills (not you, Jordan Eubanks) with three spots teams need to control. There are also three fresh maps and two remixes, but you wouldn't know that from reading the dashboard description, which just says there are "brand new maps." A small request to companies releasing DLC for purchase: Please let us know what we are buying. Anyway, you know now, so go, buy with confidence. Or, you know, don't. He/she misses you.
