semjonov 0 Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 I only get frustrated every time I try to play a level, on single player. When I first started playing when it came out I thought it was a nice game but it had some problems, so I shelfed it for a while. Well, it was a while ago now, tried it a little after every patch. My biggest beef is with the AI: They are morons! They are so stupid I don´t even have words for it. They practically never take cover. They usually cover the opposite direction than the one I just told them to bloody cover ten seconds ago. And while covering the wrong direction they are doing that ½ a city block away from where i told them to go and cover. When I tell them to follow they sure keep the distance, well, at least no one will hit us all with one bullit, it probably takes a tactical nuclear strike to get them all as they are scattered way back in the rear with the gear, they do seem to be a little closer with the newer patches. The gunners in for example Blackhawks onluy pretend to be firing, seriously. If soneone is shooitng a lot, it is okay to take more cover (But if you been in the spot I told you from the beginning no one would be hitting you now!)! Then we have the next thing, the engine it uses: Why use a hdr version that nothing supports togehter with AA and not include a simpler "bloom" version that every other game include. Framerate vise this game this game sucks on most systems (All that don´t use cf/sli or an 7950x2?), remarkable considering that the lack of AA really gets on my nerves and probably everybode elses. And why is everyone of my team painted in a golden yellow color? And the next: Where the hell is the posibility for me to play together with my friends without problems like: No stand alone server version (!!!!????????) Games that end when teamleader is killed (Was a while ago I even tried, so it might be fixed now?) This is without a doubt the worst $50 I spent this year on a game. So far. This might seem like I nagging a lot but seriously... This is like the BF2 debacle, that was a nice way to try and kill of the game with all those bad patches they have managed with. I am still waiting for them to fix the things they broke while they try to fix the other things, that they broke while fixing the other things... Think I am gonna go and try a mission again and see if they this time actually follow me instead of entangling themself around an enemy tank when they seem to have gotten stuck around a corner ½ a block away. I don´t condone attacking(?!) an M1 without AT weapons when I ordered them to come with me ½ minute earlier. Just remembered that I don´t hear my feet moving on the ground even when running, or hard breathing. Maybe that is a bug or something, oh, well... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NoQuarter 0 Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 My biggest beef is with the AI: If you haven't already seen this, might I suggest... http://www.ghostrecon.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=35997 http://www.distant-worlds.net/Test/ROMsetup1.41.exe ...along with other tweaks, the Ghosts (act) more realistic and will form up closer to leader (good thing the bad guys don't throw grenades!). Hope this solves one of your problems with the game! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hawseman 0 Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Cut to the chase: You must learn how to play this game. The rewards from finishing a mission with your teammates alive are achievable. Many people here have done it.....so I'm sure you can too. 1: Learn the tools at hand (cross com overhead, man placement control, etc.) 2: YOU are playing this game, not your men. If you tell them to go in front of a 50....expect them to die. They are YOUR support and responsibility. You can send them ahead, you just need to provide excellent cover for them. Have some patience. The AI is not going to win this game for you. If they were too good, you could sit back, not fire a shot and run through the missions. Show some leadership and they'll come through for you. It's very satisfying.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Many people here have done it.....so I'm sure you can too." Well, I got past a lot of levels before then i changed stuff around on the harddrive and accidently removed the saves but I thought: "What the hell, I just play the missions again" Well, that was a good idea. It is not about getting through the missions it is just the frustration of baby sitting the team, and suddenly discovering that someone decided to not follow you the same way as the others but decided that the right thing to was to get around an entire city block instead of following you... "2: YOU are playing this game, not your men." Well, that is really true because they are stupid. I also like when they cut in infront of you when you are standing shooting around a corner...and they decide, "hey, theres plenty of space for me to...I just stand on your toes a little, is that okay? Oh, can you please remove that hot barrel from my inner ear?" Well, thats the times they actually show up for a fight before it is over. Follow doesn´t mean follow me when you feel like it, or take a shortcut around the map instead of following your other two stupid friends. I am gonna go check out those threads now, thanks for the links. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Agent Smith 0 Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Framerate vise this game this game sucks on most systems (All that don´t use cf/sli or an 7950x2?), I run the game fine on 1280x960 with it maxed out on a 7900 GT KO, which only ran me $270. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AMD 64 3000 PC400 1GB RAM (just upgraded to 1.5 GB last week) X1600 PRO AGP 8X video card parts i pulled out of the closest and put together... i run the game at 1280X1024 , first texture setting at medium, the rest on high. (basically as high as it will let me set it) game never misses a beat. my upload speed is 328K and i host a GRAW server plus teamspeak with 4 players all the time and again never misses a beat.

With that computer I assume that we have different opinions about "not missing a beat". I run it at 1152x864 on: A64 3400+ 7800gt 2GB ram It works allright, I tried higher but then it started to suffer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hockeystick 0 Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Well the game has high system requirements, but it's becouse it is a next generation game. Belive me, you wouldn't want a current generation game after have waited 5 years. Next generation is not just graphics, it's also physics etc. I'm unsure if the destructive environment would be possible with cur gen, and I'm pretty sure that the draw distance wouldn't be possible with cur gen (GRIN?) Some ppl may not realize how big deal next generation is. Go to EA SPORTS NHL 07 PC forum and you will see what I'm talking about. PC fans are ###### cuz NHL 07 PC won't be next gen. "The X360 ppl got next gen, why can't we get that?" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

However, its not so smooth as to give me motion sickness like when i play games that are from a couple years ago. or like when ileave chaos theory on default settings and play it.
