Dannik Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 Ell, host of GhostRecon2.co.uk, has provided a series of very poor quality webcam shots of the new issue of OXM, featuring Ghost Recon 2. Check them out here. Ell is promising higher quality scans as soon as he is able. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sart Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 Haaaaaaaaaard to see, but looking great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 Guys, I'm just going out for a few hours, but I thought I'd quickly pop a message to say I've seen the new OXM mag, and it's full of nice looking 3rd person shots. It's looking very Operation Flashpoint mixed with Counterstrike. Does it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYR_32 Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 *gulp*....from what I can make out....thats not very "GR looking"...please let me be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sart Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 *gulp*....from what I can make out....thats not very "GR looking"...please let me be wrong. Yeah I was just thinking that myself. The graphics from what I can make out look great... But the guys don't look like the Ghost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it isn't Ghost Recon last time I checked, it's Ghost Recon 2. The Ghost's arent going to use their standard BDUs in the hot, humid climate of Asia.

Sart Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 players have the ability to control aircraft and call in infantry Oh god let this be wrong... a ghost in a jet...######. I hope it means tell the things were to go... not drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dannik Posted April 17, 2004 Author Share Posted April 17, 2004 I'm pretty sure that it's not control aircraft but shoot down aircraft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suicide Commando Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 Hell yeah, this looks awesome. I make out a Mk12 Mod 0 SPR, M16A?/M203, possible Laser Target Designator in the last ss, an Ah-64 Apache and either an F/A-22 Raptor or the JSF. Plus the Ghosts are not wearing the standard issue kit of the regular army like they were in GR, which is quite realistic. I'm happy.

JT_Snowman Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 (edited) About bloody time we saw some pics! Thanks for the post! They look tite! From what I can tell snipers will get the SPR with 20 round mag (Special Purpose Rifle). Basically a accurized M16/M4 shooting the 5.56 round. Also it looks like some Ghosts will be dressed similar to US Army Special Forces in Afghanistan. That is, they'll be wearing the new SPEAR body armor over brown utility undershirts. Can't really tell its SPEAR from the pics. But the character models look like the one in the new Jungle Storm adverts where there is a similarly outfited guy. (I'll try to get a pic of the advert) The maps and color are looking really sweet too! Other pics you can make out an Apache Longbow with its destinctive radar dome, the architecture looks east asain for sure more like China than Korea to my eyes, can't make out the jets though they kinda look like the new Joint Strike Fighter.

simulacra Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 Too me it looks very much like the type of unit the ghosts would be. Kinda lika SFOD-D and CIA SAD they seems to be wearing the type of uniform or equipment they see fit, while still being kick-ass soldiers...

Dannik Posted April 17, 2004 Author Share Posted April 17, 2004 Ell has provided high quality scans of the same pics. They can be found here. The quality scans make all the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostrecon50 Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 Omg this looks awsome. Nice job Dannick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scubaman3D Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 (edited) If you read the text found surrounding the pictures in the origional post, it says in one of them something like "the vehicles are not yours to control...they play an importaint role in the wider conflict" and "you can shoot down aircraft" its in one of the four scans. I also found something that said "...3rd person shooter..." - hopefully just for the console? The text is fragmented a bit, but there is some good info in there I wouldn't be too worried...RSE has never let us down before.

supasniper Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 they can't really be stupid enough to make it 3rd person on the PC too can they? also i don't like the way it tells you that you have 3 other men, they are named and all like in VC so you can't change them. also i wish they'd sort out the weapons, there's not an SF unit in the world that uses m16a4's unless they have to. also i want my sniper to have a propper sniper rifle is i want, not just an SPR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannik Posted April 17, 2004 Author Share Posted April 17, 2004 Don't forget that this is the Xbox version of the game. Compare R6:3 on PC to Xbox. Although very similar games, they were still vastly different. I suspect that's what we're seeing here. Making the console game more like it's direct competitors, and making the PC game more like what PC gamers tend to like. It wouldn't be difficult to have two slightly different development paths, since at it's core, the game would be technically similar, while the finesse of the gameplay itself would have to be developed to suit.

simulacra Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 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. It shouldnt be accessible, it should be REALISTIC I like everything about the new game, except for that "rumour" about 3rd person, when is this damn xboxification of great games gonna end??

Recon Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 (edited) The graphics look pretty good. Apparently the maps are bigger too. glowing bulletholes in armour at night Does that really happen? Edited April 17, 2004 by [TCS]Recon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the maps are bigger too. glowing bulletholes in armour at night Does that really happen? maybe if its hit by DU rounds? Other than that, I don't know...but I suppose its possible.

Scubaman3D Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 Apparently, they aren't using the same engine for it...its the Havok2 engine? I thought I read something about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
