I was looking for a game to play last week, and decided to install the [Ghost Recon]; needless to say the fun was still there, even after (6?) years of age. After installing the ACU Gucci Pack, the M4 SOPMOD pack, and the DTD SCAR mod I decided to call up my neighbor to see if he had GRAW. Seeing as I was highly disappointed GR2 did not come to the PC, and I didn't really like the idea of playing as "an advanced warfighter," I never had tried GRAW.
Well, lets just say my impression of GRAW was horrible. It was nothing like the Ghost Recon I love. It felt like an entirely new series! Not to mention, even with settings on low, I got horrible frame rates; yes yes, it is a newer game and I should expect it to eat more resources, but what really bugged me about it was that the game did not even look good. I didn't really enjoy the gameplay, and as aforementioned, the graphics were kinda disappointing. My team members (in the campaign) sucked, the enemy AI was great, but losing quick-save really took the fun out of it for me. In fact, I feel quite horrible for not buying GRAW (even now), as I feel like I have betrayed the series by not doing it, but I feel like the series has let me down even worse.
Now, that my rant on GRAW is done, is there reason to be worried about how GRAW2 will turn out? I know the beta testers have an NDA, but I would like them to tell me if its like GRAW or not.
Regards,
Mark
P.S. Long live the original!
