I think people who think FS looks terrible need to see it in motion. I'm a huge graphics whore and thoroughly enjoyed the graphics. My only gripe was only the facial models.
Animation is really top notch.

I have to agree with you. Even with DX11 off, it still looks great. Just release a patch so I can play it in DX11 already.

 

[rvy]

Some of the ground textures are really, really bad. Like the outside of the prison.

It's one of those things. This game has some laughable texture work and some other kinks, but I think it's really great to see in motion. How the characters interact with cover, how they dive, how your character grabs the enemy after a stealth kill.

But I can understand why some people would look at screens and go:

- "Holy shit, is this a game released in 2012?"

 

[kamspy]

PC port is the shittiest Ubi port I can remember.

I've got a GTX 680, and can't even taste 60fps with moderate settings. What a fucking let down.

I'm a sucker for dudebro military shooters, so I happily copped it at $40 from Meijer. Got home, did what seemed like maybe the longest game installation in the history of my PC gaming, and boom. Shit. Pure, filthy shit.

Maybe it would be good if it ran. I can't tell. I know the gameplay is really designed around a controller. Keyboard controls didn't mesh. But wtf does mesh at 20fps?

Fail Ubi. Now I have to fear all future Ubi ports. I was one of the few who could swallow the Ubi DRM, since IMO, the ports and games were always really solid. But this is pure shit. One of the worst major release PC ports in recent memory.

Oh fuck, the load times. LOAD TIMES. No kidding - I have to break out the iPad during load screens. Also, 2 START screeens with a good 3 minute load inbetween them.

Shame on whoever ported this turd.

Pretty much. Cinematics that show faces feel like last gen, but there are moments in the game where all the effects come together and it actually looks pretty amazing. The top notch animations really help sell it.

Shame on whoever ported this turd.

Sounds horrible. Has anybody gotten this thing to run smooth on PC?

I tried maxing out on GTX580 sli

dat 40fps lol. I hope Ubi will patch soon

I'm glad I waited. I love the franchise but seeing how everything is console focused its harder to put faith in a proper port. But if my 680 can't brute force 60 fps I'll wait for a sale or better optimization. I guess that delay wasn't enough to make it run properly huh?

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

First time I've ever done with with Ghost Recon, I just sold mine on Amazon. Here's hoping they don't half ass the next game.

I submitted a ticket to Steam asking for a refund. Highly doubt it will happen, but this is a turd of a port, indeed. Valve gave a refund for another horrible Ubisoft PC port, From Dust.

 

[Pyronite]

:'(

 

[kamspy]

Honestly it just reeks of poor effort bugs include binding A and MB5 to the same command no matter what you do. The mouse cursor is almost impossible to use even in the menus. No way to invert the Y axis of a gamepad. Just extremely rough. Never seen a United port this bad. Load times are something out of the worst on OG Xbox, PS2.

 

[Pyronite]

Ubisoft Kiev is responsible for the port. Frankly, I imagine they were working on a very, very tight schedule, although I do not have any insight into the inner workings. They will fix things through patches as quickly as they can.

What I've seen of the port looks pretty, though! Might give it a purchase myself to check it out.

 

[kamspy]

It seems like there's a fun game on there, but it's a hack job down to the menu. I don't know if patches can fix this... it would really take one of the most game improving patches ever released. I hope it happens, the game seems like something I'd love.

 

[dark10x]

So the port is really awful, huh? I picked it up for cheap recently on PS3 and had some fun but I had been considering waiting for the PC version. Seems like I made the right choice in avoiding it.

UbiSoft has really released a lot of very poor ports. I'm still amazed that the UE2.5 powered Splinter Cell Conviction cannot hold 60 fps on a GTX580 + i5 3570k.

 

[Ryoku]

What the fuck port? I'm running this game at absolutely maxed out settings (enhanced further through Nvidia Control Panel), and I'm getting locked 24/25 FPS. Oh, and there is some tearing to go along with that. Shitty port is shitty. Set everything down to minimum, and game still runs at a locked 24/25 FPS. Also sucks how you can't even change settings in-game. We have to go back to the main menu (which requires loading). Thanks, Ubisoft.

 

[DagsJT]

Wasn't it delayed for another week on PC so they could "improve" the game?

Apparently the game forces itself to 24hz when played in 1080p, but not in any other resolution.

It does not always happen, but it seems to be a common problem.
Seems this game wasn't tested, or if it was the problems found was never solved.

Personally I get low frame rates and CTD when changing classes.

I think they delayed it for a week so they could actually port it.

 

[Alexios]

So, how is the game? Anything like Ghost Recon?

 

[Barrel Cannon]

I'm running 30fps locked on a 5770? But regardless I doubt we'll ever see a PC game of GRAW2 caliber on PC ever again. Now that was an amazing game from Ubisoft. It wasn't even a port and the whole gameplay design was catered to gamers who wanted to control the full squads and create+time their assaults. Too bad no one really bought it for PC . I guess future soldier is our punishment.

 

[Telaso]

People are really having trouble? The game runs incredibly well for me, and the standard keyboard/mouse controlling works excellent. Its probably my favorite FPS from the last 3 or 4 years.....

I have a 680 with everything on max and I've never noticed a frame rate drop or long load times at all... either i'm lucky or you guys are doing it wrong...

Do you work for Ubisoft? The game looks and runs like shit on top end hardware.

Also 2 start menus? The fuck? "Press any key to continue".... "Press any key to continue".

Without guessing what's your FPS? What's your resolution? Use Fraps or MSI Afterburner to monitor FPS.

Of all the weird and backwards ways the game seems to have been designed this one makes me scratch my chin the most.

I'll run FRAPS tonight as I run through the final level. Maybe i'll record it and upload it too, but to my eyes at least it runs great.

 

[Ryoku]

Holy shit the new patch fucked shit up even more. The game is locked in 720p and performance just took a dip for reasons I don't know. Down to about 17-19 FPS.

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

No, SP is the worst part. And MP is destroyed by the stupid idea of giving everyone who completes the campaign a noob tube secondary in MP. Completely destroys OBJ gameplay. This game should never have been released how it is, and I'm extra pissed off because not only am I a huge GR fan, and have been advocating this game for a long time, but I even play tested it last August at Red Storm.

This is such a massive let down.

 

[jediyoshi]

Still going through my first run.

Spoiler

The lone stealth mission is god. awful.

I'm not crazy, am I?

Maybe I'm crazy cause that was probably my favorite one. Mainly because I stealthed my way past everything and thought it was great you were given the option to do so.

I liked the opening because rambo or snake felt like viable options. Once you actually enter the complex though it feels like they might as well have made it stealth required. The video game logic of dead body found -> every single enemy now knows where I am even if I'm in the corner of some far off room just feels like the most broken thing.

 

[VindictiveGnome]

Steam support denied my request for a refund. It was worth a shot.

Yes I've complained to my buddy about that when we were discussing the game as well. Doesn't make any sense. Why does my camo break while crouched and not moving because the AI found a body in a totally different location from where I'm at?

I like playing with Gun Smith more then the actual missions.

 

[Telaso]

Ok. I went and finished the game tonight, i was on the last level apparantly... anyway, I had FRAPS up and took some screenshots and video recording. As for the video recording I had it on half size for one, and two it dropped my framerate while scenes were intense to around 45fps. While not recording, it one time dropped to 55 fps while I was running while grenades went off. The entire rest of the time it was at 60 fps.

Here are links to 3 screenshots I took of the game showing the FPS in the corner. First is my settings and the other 2 are me running around in game. Its on photobucket, but its not really about quality so dont hate on me for that ><

Came here to post this.

If you were hoping for a true nextgen socom, this is it. On PS3 this game runs very well, love the dash to cover system, the core mechanics and balance

Just got it today, anyone else play on PS3?

This is the issue, never praise a game right after you get it, you may end up regretting it.

Word of advice, beat the SP first so you can have a grenade launcher in MP or you will be at a severe disadvantage since everyone else already has them.

It's unfortunate because the MP mode is so great. I put in so many fun-filled hours into the game during the closed beta. Is there a way to create custom servers that block certain attachments, because without the noob tube the game would be so much better.

Nope, only private match. Another missed opportunity.

 

[joeygreco1985]

That 24hz bug is killing me. Fucking brutal port job. So disappointed.

 

[Stallion Free]

The PC vids that Gamersyde just posted (http://www.gamersyde.com/download_t...ture_soldier_gameplay_mission_3-27502_en.html) look rather nice. I'm gonna hold off on the PC version for now, but it's definitely still on my watch list.

 

[Jackpot]

I never really understood why if it reached the "PLAYER ENGAGED" alert status it meant your stealth camo deactivated when you were in an enemy's line of sight.

 

[Slackbladder]

The PC recommended spec seems fairly high. Don't know if I can run it that well. Maybe have the problems others have been having.

 

[Neuromancer]

Can I realistically beat this game in 2 days/nights? Thinking about getting it from a Redbox.

ARCTIC STRIKE DLC DELAYED & SOME UPCOMING TITLE UPDATE DETAILS REVEALED

Glad I cancelled the preorder on the DLC.

 

[clear31]

This game was very easy until the last damn mission. It's like they just upped the difficulty by 10 for the final level. I don't know, maybe I was just doing it wrong but I hardly died until that final level where I died at least 30 times

 

[soulassssns]

WTF!!!!!!

I just purchased this last night on Steam and I cannot play. WASD doesn't work and when I tried to use my wired 360 controller is the same way. What is up with the horrible low resolution in the menus and in game?

Yup had the same issue.
The Steam version im not so sure about.
But retail the solution is pretty easy, go into the game install folder press Ctrl+A then press delete and finally hit enter.

P.S Wait for version 1.5 cuz right now the game doesnt work on PC....this isnt Batman AC not working, the game just straight up doesnt work.

I sent Steam support an email about this major game breaking issue and requested a refund. Sorry to say it but I am most likely going to get it on 360 instead. The framerate is also crap imo. If I manage to get the refund I'll just get Spec Ops The ine instead for PC.
