I wish I was a member... grr. Nice find though, I suppose! 
-
*looks for an Alt & Tab button on my Xbox 'cmon... Ell wants his AA on.. no where is it...*
-
Yeah, TOCA RD2 looks awful without the AA
. -
Aaw crap, I thought I posted the thread with the images ages ago, I guess it didn't submit properly
Anyway, Griz, here are your shots, ta very much for sending them over

I can post images of the articles but I'm not sure if there are any legal issues involved.
Hey, don't worry about that. I had 4 scans of the OXM magazine hosted on my ghostrecon2.co.uk website and no-one said anything
Get the pics up mate
If you're really worried about the pics send them to my mail and I can host them for you.

The Christmas specials were amazing!!!! I'm guessing it was never aired state-side.
-
From what I've read, and mutterings amongst people - the Xbox version will get the same treatment RS3 got
. I don't know the extent as to how much it will change, but it sounds a significantly different game to the PC. 
-
lol, I love the way so many punchlines are "because Ubi are French", and it's always funny, especially when you expect it
Poor French people, they get it rough! -
Ooh man I hope so
. The MSN plug-in sounds ideal for me. -
nothing clearly definitive, but it is some reassurance and hopefully we'll have an official statement soon.
Yeah man! I read that just now
If this email comes through from the PR office too, and disproving the OXM article, then we can say good riddance to 3rd person forever
-
If you look at this pic, you'll see that there's definitely some very cool 3D grass, and I'm guessing it'll be even more profound on the PC.
-
I've emailed the Ubi UK PR lady called Faye about this, asking which source to believe, the E3 line-up description, or the exclusive preview in OXM. I'll let you all know her response ASAP.
-
Not that I want controllable vehicles, but I do like the idea of shooting up some enemy jeeps that come my way.
I'm sure that GR2 will be everything we hoped and more tbh.
Yeah, in that dodgy OXM preview, they did say you wont be able to control vehicles, but you can take them out, including aircraft which sounds fun
-
Normally, if the game sucks, then they release the demo after release date. So GR2 demo will be released 4 months after the release then
-
And it's reassuring to think that no matter how many tanks they throw in to the single-player, I doubt they'll change the format of good old Last Man Standing.

I don't know about the PC, but GR for the XBox has Dolby Digitial 5.1, and that thing has saved my life many a time. One time a guy came up behind me, and thought it would be cocky to put his rifle away and pull out his pistol, except I heard him clattering around with his guns and I turned around, waving my gun in the air on full-auto
But anyway, the sound's really nice, crunching through the woods, trees swaying in the wind with the leaves making the disinguishable noise, the faint sound of trickling water in the distance... I honestly believe that the sound makes up a lot for the now dated graphics.
-
We love the game for the very fact that it's based upon an elite group of soldiers, who's main concern is to stay undetected and carry out their missions cleanly. This isn't just an army game, it's very specialised. Air strikes, armour, infantry reinforcements are not what GR is about. They wouldn't send the ghosts in to the front line.
-
I dunno dude. I've played both versions, and Xbox Live is worth the sacrafice of not having mods.
-
I've noticed that some people cannot connect to my host that the site is on. If you have a manual DNS that you can use, that usually sorts it
, it's quite a rare thing, but really annoying. I'll email my host to see if I can get something definive out of him.what happen to the game "GHOST" recon.lol and it's not very 'recon' either is it?
-
If the simplification of rainbow 6 3 for xbox was anything to go by, then we have great confidence in the same process for ghost recon 2
^^ Oh boy, I love that little gif thing. It has a habit of just explaining things so well instead of using words.
And I get what you're saying, a lot of people who play on a console, want simple, non-complicated fun. However, plonkers at MS sometimes release a game that's beyond fun, and they give the best damn port of a game that's ever existed, GR for the Xbox, nothing short of multiplayer genius. So now they've given Xbox owners a taste of a beast of a game, they throw them the same meat, but it has a different taste (did you like the metaphor there? I made that one up just now
). It tastes like Wolfenstein! lol (here goes the smiley again ->) . Anyway, I have no objection to playing this on the PC, it's just I've got so many friends through Xbox Live it'll be hard to think what could have been. Infact, I'll get gaming with you guys, there insta-gaming pals. Whether you like it or not 
(that's a good gif too ) -
*goes back to GRtwo.com where I'm safe from the angry people*EDIT: Simluacra - I kinda get what you mean, apart from the bit where you start sterotyping
-
My weird ISP doesn't like GR.net, seems OK now.
.But yeah, hope ya enjoy the screens. It looks good. Now I've had time to have a proper read of the article it's definitely mysterious.
Oh and the Op Fap crossed with CS thing that I said was kinda regrettable. At the time all I had read up to that point was "vehicles", "action orientated" and saw loads the screenies of the gunships like.
The whole article is a tribute to the dumb xbox crowd, just read the first page, its full of crap about making the game more accessible.Hey man, no need to go venting at us Xbox gamers, we're people too, and I seriously doubt that I'm stupider than you on the basis that I like my Xbox. However, you're attitude isn't unfounded, Ubi seem to think the same. If anyone played the RvS port for the Xbox, then they'd know that whenever Ubi utter the words "Making it more action orientated for console gamers", then it's a really quite a cringeworthy moment
. RvS was nasty on the Xbox because it took a full clip to bring someone down. Loads of people still like it, which I don't get I'm too tired to dig up what those crazy OXM writers are going on about (it's almost midnight over here, and I've been working all day so my brain is shutting down lol).
Anyway, feel free to take the images and use them anywhere. I aint coming after you with a stick
