R6:Vegas (the first game) came out in 2006.  It had some very annoying
graphics issues, like bloom that made the screen looked washed out and
could not be turned off.  

Vegas 2 was released only about 1.5 years later, and was an excellent
game, although it did have it's share of bugs as well.

For purposes of what we are discussing here, most people consider a
single player campaign in a modern FPS game to be a gaming experience
that attempts to create some story or scenario around the gameplay,
and is designed from the ground up to be played solo.  

In other words taking a multiplayer game and strategically placing
bots around the map does not count as an SP campaign in most people's
mind.  To really see the difference you might fire up something like
the Battlefield series, or another example that comes to mind are the
recent Crysis games.  The single player campaign involves a story that
plays very differently than the rounds of multiplayer.

Some of the older R6 games used to have a planning stage where you
could command friendly bots to go to specific spots, engage the enemy,
etc. sort of like a turn based strategy game.

If you're giving it that based on the single player score, it's really
a statement about what an amazing job they did with this game.  They
never intended anyone buy it for the single player experience only.  A
6/10 would actually be a great statement in favor of the work they did
on the bots considering it is an afterthought feature of the game.

As a game that's played as it's meant to be, it is easily a 9/10.
