One thing that will definitely be different in Vegas 2, however, will be the option to hot-swap co-op for single-player on the fly. Granted, we were only allowed to play the first couple levels, but Knight's distinct lack of dialog or any other participation beyond simply mowing down bad guys didn't seem much different from the experience of playing Rainbow Six: Vegas with only two players in a co-op game. While the host player plays as Bishop (the main character in the single-player campaign), the guest plays as a character named Knight who is nearly as faceless as the terrorists you'll plug by the dozens. Ubi Montreal has said that it cut the co-op down to two players so that the game would focus on the storyline, but we don't really see that as a compelling reason based on what we've played so far.
On the bright side, at least we won't have to worry about losing them in battle. As it turns out, the game seems to work very well with the streamlined two-player co-op, though we're still going to lament the loss of our extra two bros. We didn't actually have to play Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 to get upset about the fact that developer Ubisoft Montreal has removed the four-player co-op component, but we played it anyway because we love tactical assault.
