As for Rainbow Six Vegas and Rainbow Six Vegas 2, our teams have investigated and found that these titles couldn't meet our stability and quality standards while running said update.

'Ghost Recon Future Soldiers' online features are now up and running again. 'Following a critical update on our online services management platform, we had to temporarily shut down the servers of Ghost Recon Future Soldiers, Rainbow Six Vegas and Rainbow Six Vegas 2,' an Ubisoft rep explained to me this week. Turns out, they had ran into trouble behind the scenes. Then not long after, Ubi revealed they actually were closing the servers. While many assumed Ubisoft had already quietly killed the servers, company reps on the game's forums denied that and said they were investigating why people couldn't play. Future Soldier had similar complaints for a few weeks too. Normally Ubisoft announce multideaths months in advance, but with this Clancy bunch they seemed to announce shutdowns after they'd already happened.įor months prior, players had complained that multiplayer wasn't working in Vegas 2. Earlier this month, they announced Rainbow Six Vegas and Vegas 2, Rainbow Six: Lockdown, and Ghost Recon: Future Soldier were for the chop.

Ubisoft routinely shut down online services for older games, explaining 'it allows our IT and service staff to better focus on delivering great online experiences to the vast majority of customers who are playing newer, more popular titles'. Ubisoft have now told us what went wrong with Vegas 2, though sadly they say they're unable to support workarounds that might help people continue playing. One, it's still a great game! Two, many players were under the belief that Ubisoft had already closed its servers, because it's been unplayable since December. When Ubisoft announced this month that they would close online services for Rainbow Six Vegas 2 (and a few other tactical shooters), it was a surprise for two reasons.
