SCO Spyder Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 Well, i picked it up and did the training, then went into XBOX Live. OMG THIS IS GREAT!!! If you got the right people to play with, this game will totally be as good as GR1, in my eyes anyway. The only thing I aint liking is the " no blood " stuff. Maybe theirs a way to turn it on later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurtz Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 I'm sorry but we expect more substantive reports on this game than that. We need details, lots of details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasyCo Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 This game does kick ass! You want details... walking in water slows you down, the missions are bad ass, the multiplayer is even better.... Screw it, IM gonna keep playing!

How do you start/manage/join/anthing to do with a clan? Are u even able to have clans?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasyCo Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 Another cool feature is the radar... If you are close enough to see or hear an enemy he shows up unless prone then you can not see him. I like the radar a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTF-2 Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 (edited) umm, i'd just like to know if the masses think it's a worthy successor for GR1 fans? if it's good on xbox, on PC it'll be....mmmmm....

KRP 56 Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 No blood in GR2? If this is true what is it like? Sum Of All Fears gray spurts or just nothing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCO Spyder Posted November 18, 2004 Author Share Posted November 18, 2004 Ok, srry guys, but I had 30 min befor school so I had to make it quick then back to the game. Anywayz, a few things I noticed. For starters, the graphics are amazing. Peoples mouths move when they talk. When playing on Live, if you die, ur comms automaticly shut off. I dont know if theres a way to change this, but its very realistic.... when you die, you really cant talk. The 3rd person actually isn't as bad as it seems. At first I hated the thought of 3rd person... but they have used it very well. It has this.... weird way to it.... like..... you feel like everything is going slow..... but when you take a step back and look at things... its actually very involved and moving quickly, i like it. The blood issue.. I do not see any blood, or any liquid substance coming from a body when I shoot it, or near the dead ones. It makes it hard to tell if I have hit the enemy or not, but ohwell. Another issue i've found is identifying troops. Often their is friendly troops out their.... and at a distance, they all look the same. Maybe its because my TV is maybe 25" or whatever, but at a distance, if it wasn't for the IFF thing, the british would look like the koreans ect ect. Just a man's figure with black-ish looking clothes. But like I said, It might just be my TV's colors and size making it difficult. Anywayz, I only got to play the first level on Live with another guy and it was great. Now im home from school, and im off to play again.

silent_op Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 I'm not going out to buy an xbox or anything, but it sounds like you guys really like GR2 a lot so far. This could mean great things for the PC version. Some questions: - How many people can play online? - Is the sound done in 5.1 surround? - How big is the platoon (4, 6, 9)? - What does the command map look like? Is it any different? - How big are the maps? - How many things are destructable (Trees, buildings, walls, etc)? - Can you really pick up friendly and enemy weapons? - What is the medic (first responder skills of the Ghosts) function like? Does it heal you 100% or just stop you from bleeding to death? - How are the tracers? Are they like the laser show we saw on the E3 demo? - What is the first person view like? - Have the reticles changed at all (first person view). silent_op Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camel Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Some questions: - How many people can play online? 16 - Is the sound done in 5.1 surround? don't know - How big is the platoon (4, 6, 9)? 4 - What does the command map look like? Is it any different? Yes, it is different. Its hard to explain. - How big are the maps? about the same size as GR1 - How many things are destructable (Trees, buildings, walls, etc)? The only thing I've seen that is destructible is a gas tank and vehicles. - Can you really pick up friendly and enemy weapons? YES, its pretty cool when you run out of ammo. - What is the medic (first responder skills of the Ghosts) function like? Does it heal you 100% or just stop you from bleeding to death? Guy gets shot multiple times and falls down calling for help, you go to his body and 'heal' him and he returns to wounded state. Personally, I think it is really lame. - How are the tracers? Are they like the laser show we saw on the E3 demo? It depends on the gun, but they look the same as GR1 - What is the first person view like? Same as GR1, I like it. - Have the reticles changed at all (first person view). Yes they are a little different looking, but operate the same way.

Dick Splash Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 .......so......there I was eagerly on my way to EB after work to see and play the 'PC Beta', only to find that they didn't have any copies and told me that the release date is the 1st of December. There are two dedicated games stores in town and they know NOTHING........NOOOOOTHING DS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sup Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 You know, I'm starting a HUGE 3d project, which I need to spend time on, buy stuff for(mics and such), and think about... Getting Halo2, and soon getting broadband is bad enough... Not to mention my 1 year of XBL... But now this? I was really hoping this game would be awful, really.

EasyCo Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 It's funny hearing people yell... "Halo 2 sucks" and "this game kicks ass" on LIVE. People are loving this game as am I! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How the new radar on the top right of screen, can it be turned off (removed from the screen)? silent_op ← yes, but you could literally be 2 feet away from someone and not know it... i like the radar. They did a good job with it. It doesnt just show everyone on the map. You have to be seen, shooting, or not prone.

ZJJ Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 - Is the sound done in 5.1 surround? Yes - How big is the platoon (4, 6, 9)? 4 - How big are the maps? they vary - the largest 1000x1000 - Can you really pick up friendly and enemy weapons? yes - but becareful as you don't get a full supply of ammo, but only what is left with that weapon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calius Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 When anyone can tear themselves away from the game (expect a reply in a week or 2 ) ... can someone actualy list the options ... in .. umm, the options menu : EG - what HUD things you can switch on/off and also other features that can be switched on/off pleeeeeease. I hope blood is included as switchable on pc version ... no blood is a bit crap for mature users. Sounds like this game will be king when out on pc ... i hope.

People are loving this game as am I! ← Non-conformists ammuse me. Finding fault in a brilliant game like Halo, just because it's popuar. Anyway, I'll have GR2 on live pretty soon, I think... PS: Does anyone else fear we're gonna' need a lot more moderators on this board? I think it's going to get swarmed in the next few weeks.
