Over the weekend, many shooter fans were enjoying time with Ubisoft's recently released title Rainbow Six: Vegas 2. While those playing the Xbox 360 version had few problems, PlayStation 3 owners were left out in the cold: bugs, disconnection issues, freezing, and a wide variety of problems are marring the otherwise-strong multiplayer action in its PS3 form.

Reports began to circulate on message boards like NeoGAF, GameFAQs, and the official PlayStation boards last Thursday, and they grew in number throughout the weekend. The issues seem strikingly similar to those that hurt Call of Duty 4 when it was first released. Players have found themselves failing to connect to game lobbies, timing out from rooms that they have managed to get into, losing whatever experience points they earn after matches are complete, and more.

One GameFAQs reader sent a scathing email to Ubisoft only to get back a response from a customer service representative that the "issue is currently being worked on by the development team." An ETA was not given, but the rep noted that "it should not be long."
