Rainbow Six: Vegas, also uses the Gears of War engine and is online multiplayer capable. The game has zero hackers on the Xbox 360 Version of Rainbow Six: Vegas due to the 360's ability to prevent things to be edited on the CD's.

There are large amounts of maps that can be played on all of these multiplayer modes.
