rookie Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Finally, the pc-media is beginning to see the public. Just in time to make one pass the month by asap. Maybe a SP-demo will change my mind and I actually will end up buying the game. Thanks for the links! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cangaroo.TNT Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 It appears (at least in the video) that the blood spray/splat in GRAW 2 is more pronounced than in GRAW. Grin, is that an accurate assessment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malleus Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Nice vid! Definitely looking forward to this one. Seems like the only worthy ubi game at the moment... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grin, is that an accurate assessment? Yes and no, it's about the same only less gray/yellow-toned on top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demanufakture Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 (edited) Game looks perfect for my tastes. I loved the first GRAW on pc and I now have no doubt I will love GRAW2 pc even more than the first. Thanks for adding saves whenever you want as long as you are not in a firefight. Long live Ghost Recon. Edited May 16, 2007 by Demanufakture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost9 Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 (edited) the single player additions do look really cool. more like what graw1 should've been. But since I play SP for about 10 minutes before I switch over to MP, I'm not enticed yet. I'm really hoping they did a lot to improve the MP. I noticed in the vid the SP will have multiple insertion points. Any chance of that happening in MP? It would be awesome to fly in on a heli and pick where you want to be dropped off. Also, the waypoints look a lot better for the SP, any chance of getting an overlay like that in MP so people can actually work out some tactics?

ARDelta Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Also.. insert anywhere! It looks more like you can choose from a list of insertion points as oppossed to inserting anywhere. Either way, I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demanufakture Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 (edited) In reply to post#31: I always buy my games for the single player. I feel that multiplayer is just an added bonus to the game I bought for single player. Of course this doesn't apply to games I've bought like Battlefield 2 and 2142 and Test Drive Unlimited as they are multiplayer oriented. Of course this is just my opinion. To each his own.

Either way, I like it. The video has both. One was insert anywhere... then it rewinds and shows them pick a place. As for MP... i doubt it would be anywhere as we would be shooting the copters out of the sky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That presents an awesome capability. "IF" we can script the game with this in mind, then spawn killing can be somewhat controlled. have a script for MP that allows for 3 or 4 insertion points so insertions are random. then it will be somewhat easier to stop spawn killing. Like McDonalds motto: DA, DA, DA DA DA,DA,DA...I'm lovin' it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it'd be better not to be random but to be a choice of where you want to be inserted. "Random" often times is not truely random and a pattern can be learned. If we have a choice of the point of insertion we could avoid ambush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strapt Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 (edited) I like being able to choose an insertion point and that we can once again have recon mode. But if its recon and everyone is meant to be quiet why would someone shout out "hostiles sighted, lets get 'em"? This happens around the 1min mark. Surely from that range the enemy would hear the voice if everything was so quiet? Couldn't the person whisper "hostiles sighted", the "lets get 'em sound a little bit too George Bush. No offence, like. This is just from the co-op point of view of course. I like it reasonably realistic. As far as TvT etc i'm sure it'll be fine Edited May 16, 2007 by Strapt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bota:16 Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Not much of a SP player, but the video shows just how much GRIN has bee working on this and listening to the GRAW PC players. Definately :thumbsup: to GRIN. I played to beta but a video of MP in a different location from the beta would be :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to worry, those are added only in the trailer. The ghosts say some of the same things, but more "embedded" and not overlayed as in this movie. And you PhysX owners, we haven't forgotten you. I'm certain you'll be pleased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be i guess for extraction... but you would think the enemy would shoot it down.I watched that several times trying to figure out what was going on. I'm pretty sure it's a US helo, but what it's doing I don't know. It looks like it's hovering on the Rebel side of the bridge. I thought perhaps you have to cover the insertion of a demo team, but when the camera switches to Mitchell just before he jumps on the 50, you can clearly see a "C4" waypoint marker on the bridge support. When they flash to the tactical map, the current objective is "Locate hidden ???". I can't make out the last word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definately :thumbsup: to GRIN. I played to beta but a video of MP in a different location from the beta would be :thumbsup: I'm continuously impressed by how much GRiN actually listens to their consumers. On another note, its hard to tell if the AI is actually smarter this time around (an issue that, to me, was the greatest strike against GR:AW), since the vid showed a lot of micromanagement of the troops. Only time will tell, but I'm starting to set aside money for this one, as the developer response on these forums has been really promising.

It won't prevent me from buying the game, and it is good to be able to give each soldier his own pathfinding and orders, but I hope or was hoping for some other options. It would be great to do a buddy team where you could pair two guys up and only have to give one set of orders, then have the other soldier follow your lead or order him around seperately. I also hope there's a full team waypoint string this time around. Last time you could only set one waypoint for the group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
