Rainbow Six Vegas (xbox360)

I haven't played this on live in a bit, I should some time, do you need the maps to play it?

i would suggest downloading them as im sure it will get tiresome having to leave lobby after lobby because the host wants to play one of the new ones. with that said, im certain they cant get away with making all online play unavailable to those who dont buy the maps....i dont even think that would be legal, would it?

I am pretty sure they did that with Halo 2.

No, they just made the matchmaking need the maps, you could still play custom games.

Oh, my bad, how would people join the custom games off of xbox live, do they need invites, or do they search a game and it comes up...or? Sorry for my lack of knowing...

Custom games are basically just with friends, something I hope is changed in H3.

So they are invite only?

If so, I hope that is changed as well.
