hwangeruk Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 (edited) I have been playng C&C, FIFA, COD4 lately. (Haven't played GRAW for a year or more probably). My kids came over, and my 8 year old started the campaign form scratch. (Which was a distant memory for me) GRAW2 is still an awesome experience. The bullet trails, the "clean" textures, the lighting. The gun sound effects. I'm gonna pick up the re-release with all the downloads, as I let my son take my original copy home with him. Amazing game. It's a shame the re-release probably won't give it its sales numbers it deserves to where it sits in relation to other games like Gears of War and COD4. It deserves greater recognition. I pray they make another game. And I'd really like FPS creators to ship games with more maps. COD4 doesn't have enough maps for my liking.

beonder13 Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 The re-release you mention is a PAL version... not sure where you are located... but you can still pick it up new or used and DL the map packs. They are well worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightySprocket Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I have been playing the COD4 since its release and became increasingly bored with it over the last month, even the new maps couldn't save it! RSV2 took its place for a few days but again no holder for me.... then I saw GRAW2 tucked away on the shelf.... 2gbs worth of maps later and wow! it's the nuts, the map design, playability and graphics are nothing short of amazing, I hope the re-packaged game brings people to their senses and back on to GRAW where skills matter!

BS PALADIN Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 If by skills you mean third personing behind a rock and then jumping out spraying with your MRC when an unsuspecting enemy comes close then you are right, GRAW2 needs skills.

I mean: COD4 where its a shoot-em-up, bullet, grenade, abuse people in the lobby fest as opposed to a tactical 'talk to your team' game!

I agree that GRAW 2 can be tactical if you get the right gametype and a bunch of similar minded players but most of the gametypes and certain gameplay elements severely hamper the tactical elements of the gameplay and revert GRAW 2 back to a extremely defensive, camping, short range shooter with unrealistic gun characteristics. But hey thats just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS PALADIN Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Sorry mate. I do think that the new co-op collection maps make the game alot more playable. Its just that most people stick to the crappy linear original maps that GRAW 2 shipped with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS PALADIN Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 TBH I could play in rooms witha few people i know that only play good maps but most of my friends who were all GR nuts have left GRAW 2 for COD4. And I stick with the people I have been playing with for years. Its a real shame really as the co-op collection is top notch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calgar99 Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 yeah I'm having trouble findng games on coop with any new maps. Generally there are 4 or 5 hosted games playing the launch maps, which is a bit of a disappointment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
