Gaining Experience Covered in New Developer Diary for Rainbow Six Vegas 2

This developer diary is probably the first we’ve seen a lot of actual in-game footage for the upcoming sequel to Rainbow Six Vegas. In this video, the developers discuss one major new addition to the game: the ability to gain experience to unlock weapons and gear. Before, you could only gain experience and unlock new weapons by playing the online multiplayer. Now, you can customize a character and use them to play through the single-player campaign, gaining experience along the way. The gear your character unlocks even depends on which skills you use the most.

This is certainly a welcome addition to the game, particularly since I remember joining a match in the first game to find I had no decent weapons and everyone else was running around in ridiculous pimp suits.
