Don't expect to see highly trained counter-terrorist agents lobbing flashbangs over craps tables after Rainbow Six: Vegas 2. According to a developer for Ubisoft, they're done with the Vegas locale.

"We really feel that the story of Vegas is done," designer Philippe Therien told Eurogamer. "We've explored as much of Vegas as we wanted. For now, we're pretty much covered with Vegas."

He says they haven't decided on a location for future Rainbow Six titles, but notes that the setting might not always be the selling point.

I think setting a game in Washington D.C. might be cool, perhaps clearing hostiles from the Capital Building, the Smithsonian, and the White House, and maybe picking off a sniper from atop the Washington Monument. All of those things are within spitting distance of each other, so the frantic mission-to-mission pace could be maintained. Or would that be tacky?

Vegas 2 releases March 21st.
