"The single player maps and storyline were created with co-op in mind, meaning every map has multiple entry points and the story is unaffected", Ubisoft explains.
13 new multiplayer maps, two new adversarial modes and an improved matchmaking system are also included.
On top of that lot, Ubisoft is promising the enemy AI in Vegas 2 is significantly improved, and terrorists have new toys to play with too - thermal vision, night vision, and shields.
Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 is out on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 in March 2008.
