Canada was looking at the Lapua .338 magnum

That means that Best Buy and Walmart will have it on the 5th and EB might have it on the 9th.

I think the release date for FTF has been pushed back to April 29.

According to the EB clerk, it's April 9th.

You could make a modded mission with more allied platoons, but, it requires knowledge about Igor and the more AI in a map, the greater the drain on your processor.

I love the squad command system, simple and intuitive. Don't see why this type of order system could not be implemented in GR 2 or 3 or whatever they call it.

That is on the Sierra store site.

From the Gearbox moderator: "Kinda off topic, but... My understanding of SafeDisc is that it is embedded inside the game executables and the DVD is recorded in a special way so that it can't be copied with normal DVD backup software. It is this special DVD recorded format that is incompatible with some DVD drives. There is nothing that can be done through any kind of update that will "turn off" the SafeDisc protection on the DVD because that's the way the DVD was recorded. If the DVD drive itself can be upgraded through new firmware or new Windows drivers, then that *might* allow the Sa

This game reeks beyond belief. The jungle is completely full of inpenetrable leaf barriers. The AI is the worst I have seen in some time. The enemy does not react to being shot at and simply runs toward you or stands in place, of course, it takes several bursts to kill someone. The team AI stops, gets lost, runs around in circles. One guy ran into a burning truck and died. I cannot get to the extraction zone because there is an invisible clear barrier, I have tried ordering the men to go to the extraction but they won't, they must know they can't go through the plexiglass barrier. This is v

It's basically Deadly Dozen in Nam, a good bargain level game, arcade shooter.

I decided to buy the game, even with some reservations, and was told by EB that it would install but not run on a DVD burner. I posted at Gearbox and the mod said that the game seemed to be incompatible with some DVD drives, but, he was not sure which ones. There are alot of posts there and at Ubi about the DVD problem. Since it sounds like a total crap shoot whether the game will even run, I am not going to buy it. Good job, Gearbox!

If you play games on Xbox, Ghost Recon 2 has had a very good reception from a lot of Xbox gamers. You can read more about Ghost Recon 2 for Xbox at the Ubi console forum or at the Xbox Live forum. You can read reviews of the console versions of Ravenshield and Ghost Recon 2 at www.gamespot.com There are console forums where you can put your gamertag to reach Xbox gamers.

I will wait for the hands on reviews from this site, and a demo.

Is this a 3rd person view game? I wasn't impressed with the AI or the vegetation. The movement looks clunky and awkward, but the weapon sounds are very good. I don't see any aiming reticle, so I don't see how you can tell what you're shooting at. Not impressed.

It sounds like your video card is overheating.

It sounds like BF2 with SP. Is it even squad based?

Exactly right, there are only 2 Ghost Recon forums - general and tech support. This is the second major disappointment after the poor debut for BIA. That's two of the three games I was looking to buy. Looking at CC FTF and Elite Warriors now. @4 It was a compliment to your fine mod and a diss for HL2. A game has got to have replayability for me. One time use - that's not a game, that's a condom. I hope this consolizing of games is not the demise of real tactical games. I think BIA suffered from being built primarily for consoles.

I agree with you totally about the boring, linear, brainless gameplay. I got as far as the mine and lost interest. It's an elaborate graphics and physics display. Not gameplay. And I agree about Steam. These arcade games like Stalker and Fear are all the same, one run through and you return it and sell it, move on to the next one. Playing the demo for Chronicles Of Riddick, same thing. I'll stick to GR and HD2. The truth of the matter is I'd rather replay en4cement's Direct Action than HL 2, far more fun and interesting.

This is a huge disappointment to me as I was really anticipating this title, now I will wait for the demo. The game looks like it was changed from the E3 demo by Randy Pritchford. In that vid, there was no weapon sway and the weapons were effective. Now, there is a pronounced weapon sway, but, not in the sniper rifle, which is a** backwards. Also, it will make the sniper rifle an uberweapon in MP. People complain about the weakness of the allied guns, the ineffectiveness of the Garand. They also comment on the ability of the Germans to fire the bolt action KAR98 like a semi auto. Ther

The release date is April 12. No official word on demo yet.

Can you comment on weapon sway in aiming?

Maybe he lost them at Kursk!

They might be calling the PC game GR 3 because it is different from the console version. I think the release date will be pushed forward to December, because it is requiring more reengineering than anticipated.

Slightly OT, but, same site, "Meet me in room 808."

"Third quarter: Peter Jackson’s King Kong and Brothers in Arms Road to Hill 30TM will join Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon® and Prince of Persia® for an explosive holiday season.." This is hard to fathom because BIA for PC is already released, unless they are referring to the BIA Market Garden add on. If GR 2 keeps to the June release, then Dec would be right for a mission pack expansion.
