Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter

[[MyIS]Spetsnaz]

I stumbled upon the previous trailer:

http://www.metacafe.com/watch/80457/ghost_recon_trailer/

I played Ghost Recon the first and loved it. It was one of the best flowing FPS games that I have ever played (in SP atleast). The really cool part was customizing the soldiers and their gear.. there were so many options. The soldier models themselves looked freakin cool.. even better than in BF2 not that I think about it.

What are your thoughts on this game?

Re: Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter

Too Hollywoodish, it looks more like Starship Troopers rather than a realistic imitation, too rambo-ish so they can make more money; now all the "OMFG liek ub3r gun d00d" kids will buy it. (there are plenty of those)

Re: Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter

nah GRAQ is going to be a tactical FPS through and through. The CEO of GRIN, the developing company posts regularly at ghostrecon.net everytime he posts I cream my pants.

The AI from what he says the AI will be smarter than your average BF2 player.
The graphics kick ass too.

by the way there is not a SINGLE gameplay video of the PC version. only one from back in the early alpha stages. the video posted is a rendered video(not gameplay)

Ive been following the ghost recon sequels since gr2 was announced and I have yet to be disappointed by anything in GRAW

Not really it my look like that but its not, If you even try to rambo it you are dead lol, most of it is sticking to cover and moving fast just like todays SF. Yes it is kinda rambo, diving on the ground and sliding on your knees but hay it makes the game cool lol. The game can't be realistic becuase all of this stuff is in production for the future, they just take a estimated guess on how powerful it is going to be and put it all together. Muiltiplayer is pretty realistic though, I love it they have a large variety of weapons to use, but they took out alot of the cool gadgets like C4, Claymores, and Satchel Charges. But I really didn't use them all that much any way, well not the claymores any way.

Re: Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter

the game is based off the Future force Warrior program which most of which could be fielded around 10 years from now.

Re: Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter

2013. You really think in 7 years they'll be walking around with helmets with little computers and monitors built in that can see through walls and identify targets? And that they'll be walking through dangerous streets in very small fireteams in close formation with little firepower and no cover? The handsignals are ridiculous too, they're all 1 metre apart and it doesn't look like they're being stealthy to me.
Complete bollocks.

Re: Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter

Well ya they already have most of the stuff, the only thing diffrent is that they cant see threw the building and the computer is not on there head its on a GPS.

Here are the hand signals in the game even though there are only two lol




I can come up with alot of stuff to prove how the stuff will work if you look at the movie.

1.) When they see the people threw the buildings did you notice the friendly Apache flying over. The apache has a radar on it that spots heat signatures.

http://www.army-technology.com/projects/apache/apache1.html

Look on the top off the Apache do you see the round thing on the top that is a radar that can spot tanks and infantry from a pretty far distance.

I do agree with you though how they are walking in the middle of the street 5ft apart bad move, but if you notice the soldier gets shot in the leg. The reason that they are a small fire team though is becuase they are Ghost an elite Special Forces team I dont think you would move in with a group of 10 SF soldiers lol. A SF team does consist of about 5 to 6 people correct me if im wrong.

I dunno man, I think your expectations are too high. You don't have to be a genius to pick out bits and pieces that are not realistic, its a video game for poops sake.

Rainbow Six was never realistic, but if you ever played with some serious clans in that game they had amazing tactics and strategies. Ghost Recon was loosely based on R6 when it was released, but it improved on many elements and simplified others.

I remember playing a clan in R6 that was known to completely annihilate any clan that played against them. They were accused of cheating, but I sat in Ventrilo with and got to know them--i'm pretty sure there was no cheating going on. They taught me some of the tricks they use and I realized how good they really were. Anyway, so my clan went against them one round. WOW. Our entire team pretty much dropped simultaneously. Someone on our voice chat said that it felt like we were fighting an army..they were everywhere.

These games aren't meant to be die hard realistic, there's no such game like that. And there never will be (even OFP isnt anywhere near realism). The point is to mimic the type of thought process you use when in a combat situation. IE: flank the enemy, ambush the enemy, cover corners, move in formation, etc.

Re: Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter

It looks to me they didn't even bother to try and put some realism in there. I'm not asking for perfection, I'm asking for strivement for perfection.

They have already been working on it for a few years. It's called the "Land Warrior" system.

I don't really care, I played Gr2 with fun multiplayer, and I will do it again. :)

GRAW is based off of future force warrior. not land warrior, which was a complete and utter joke.

care to explain?

So is GRAW and any other computer controlled soldiering system.

The practical ones do not get in the way of a soldier's ability to perform his mission. All of these built in systems are creating a dependancy that shouldn't exist in the first place (think of it this way, if Microsoft can't release an OS without bugs, what do you expect will happen here?).

The only practical systems I've seen are things like managing blood pressure and heart rate so the medic squads can pre-emptively save lives if needed.

Anyhoo, it's just a game. No realism needed here. As long as people aren't bunny hopping and firing at full auto at 200 meters I'll be happy.
