Subject: Rainbow Six: Vegas

Hello! How are you? Looking after yourself I see. And how’s the missus? Great! Now, recently I purchased a game by you called Rainbow Six: Vegas. It’s quite nice! The enviroments are well-built, the graphics are good and it runs well on my machine.

Except, however, for one thing.

The mouselook.

Figure 1: A Mouse.

For some reason, whenever I start your game, I am unable to aim with my mouse, despite the general intention, so I believe, being that I should. Searching the internet has led me to no solid answer that doesn’t involve unplugging my mouse and burning it in a sacrificial fire built atop a pentagram, and this still hasn’t been fixed after six patches (and, if I’ve heard correctly, is still a problem in the sequel!)

Figure 2: A really, really fruity mouse.

The game is built on Unreal Engine 3, a solid piece of technology that has a variety of features, including non-broken mouselook. Clearly, something is amiss here, and since the problem has gone on for two games now, I can only assume that whatever was broken broke hard.

There are a number of possible solutions to this problem, but from what I understand, the best solution would be to fire the R6:V PC controls team and spend the saved money on Beyond Good and Evil 2. This way, everyone’s happy! Well, except the controls team, but fuck ‘em.

Yours,
Kinsie.
