Official GRAW 2 360/PC/PS3 page Hype Page

I am happy they got rid of the HEat vision mode and nerfed the Night vision. For shogmaster complaining about campers......why not use the Drones?

So torn about buying this.

Same here. I found that the first GRAW to have little replay value, but GRAW2's multiplayer was a blast. Agh, I don't know what to do. Circuit City even has a $10 off promotion going on which makes it even more enticing.

SP is broken up into 3 chapters and one training chapter (you can skip this though) If you've played GR before I suggest that you play this on Unrestricted mode, every other mode is waaay too easy (for me that is) The campaign is about 6-8 maybe 10 hours max, and sadly there is one mission that reminds me a bit too much of R6:V, not going to spoil it though, but if you've played R6 you'll see.

UBI seems to have dumbed down the difficulty (even in Ur mode) when playing the Air assault missions. I remember there were times in GRAW 1 were I wanted to throw my controller at the TV because the A.I. was too good and shot you rather quickly in the Helo missions. Well, in GRAW 2 I made it through the all the Helo missions without getting hit once, this is better, but at the same time seems a bit cheap (damned if you do . . .)

The auto-cover system is still annoying, as you will find yourself getting stuck on walls etc.

Graphics? You've seen the screen shots, then you've seen what the game is like, especially when you fly over Juarez, truly destroyed beauty (whatever that phrase Cliffy B used)


But here's the big question, the $60 question. Is it worth it?

My impressions suck, I know that they do, I just don't have the patience to get into full detail. GRAW 2 is a visual improvement over it's past iteration, and with Cross Com 2.0 there are some great new additions, you actually feel like you have a squad that you can control.

I love the GR series played it while I was in the Army religiously, on the xbox and 360. For previous owners though, it's not worth $60 based on SP alone

Newcomers and those who like tactical shooters that didn't buy last year's version will appreciate the SP campaign.



I feel that this game will receive a 8.0 with ± 3 and if you don't like the number scale I give this game a $49.99 based on SP alone


Edit: I incorrectly labeled the difficulty. It should read:

Low
Guarded
&
Elevated Risk

So are you saying the first GRAW's 1p campaign is better? Longer?

12 missions in all, not including the training one (which you can skip)

I guess the reason why I initially felt that the 1st one is better is because GRAW 2 takes place just a day or two after the events of the first one, so it's a continuation of that story arc. If you want to get all the SP achievements then you will take your time as there are "rewards" for taking it slow.

I also forgot to mention that there is a day/night cycle which is pretty damn cool as the lighting changes right before your eyes, thus making you shift tactics.
 
I still will probably pick it up due to a lack of interest in anything else coming out on the system until July/August for me.....

Anyone see the ad for GRAW 2 ? Why do pubs still make all CG commercials. The game looks amazing when it comes to realtime gameply, why not advertise that?

I like the GRAW HAS A POSSE webcampaign.
 
Ok i've only seen the 1st level yet, but the lightning in this game is nothing sorth of spectacular. And i mean, there's no other game with lightning this good, other devs take a ****ing note.
 
I'm not sure if I wanna buy this game as I had mixed feelings about the first one, but I've got to post and say it's hilarious Shog exclaiming to be the utter master of GRAW and completely reliant on the cheesy nightvision bullshit.

Is it like GRAW1 where beating it on hard does not unlock the normal difficulty achievements?

I beat it on The most hardest difficulty and I received all other achievements for the lower ones as a result.

Completely reliant? Fvck you little bitch! Something tells me that if I play you a game of GRAW, you won't be the one out there moving around, but hiding out in your favorite camp spot being all "tactical" or staying the way fvck back with a sniper rifle. Real masters of fun right there!

I used heat vision to see camping bitches who like to hide in the dark to play all "tactical". How many times have we all witnessed these little "geniuses" that spend their whole time in maps like Boneyard to find the newest clever little hidey spots on top of some lamp posts or whatever so that they can shoot us in the back? Heat vision was my anti asshole-camper vision. Without it, many would have abandoned the game long before to these camping numbnuts.

Look here boys: I don't mind playing a tactical single player experience, taking my time using the drone and all that. I love being sneaky as the next guy, and I love being the sniper as much as you. I dug it and I'm probably buying the game just for the SP.

But when it comes to multiplayer, I have no more fvcking patience to waste my valuable play time (I don't have tons of it because of work) waiting for camping fvckers who are waiting for ME to walk into their oh so clever traps. Hey assholes! Those other people you are playing against aren't some fvcking braindead AI! LET'S GET THIS SHIT GOING! I HAVE A FVCKING GAME TO ENJOY BEFORE THE NIGHT'S OVER!!

I got this today. I put it in, made an auto-update, and shit I can't even play! It keeps freezing my console every time in different points :( Now I'll try to delete the game saves from the HD, maybe it will erase the update too, and try it again without updating. Man, this sucks, I hope it's at least the disk broken and not my console, I never had such problems.
 
This game is teh shit.

So i finished level 2, holy crap, now let me get one thing straight...i love "tactical" games, i loved the 1st Ghost Recon on 360 last year, and i loved rainbow six Vegas.
This one, it just kicks things up a notch, it really takes things into the next level as far as presentation goes.

Now, the gameplay is basically the same, but its much more intense. Shooting a gun, getting in a firefight and then the music kicks in and people start dying and shit exploding man, this game rocks. And speaking about the music, awesome, trully awesome, feels like you are in a movie like black hawk down or some shit, seriouslly good.
The graphics? One of the best looking games around, explosions are crazy good, effects like dust and blur and shit are awesome, the lightning is the best i've seen, and you can't help but love it when you have the chance to really see the graphics in motion when you are being briefed on the jeep and get to look at the montains and the dust and the clouds and shit, man, it's awesome.

I'm really impressed, definitilly a good game from what i've played, and if you liked the 1st one, then this one is pretty impressive.
I never thought i would say this since i didn't like the idea of this game coming out soo soon after the 1st one, but so far, great job ubi, great ****ing job.

Yes there are some Black Hawk Down musical moments aren't there? The sound Track is pretty damn good and gets you pumped for the action at hand.


Fellow who have this are you joining the Gaf clan? Let me know so that I can add you.
 
I got some pics of some of the missions if anyone wants me to post them (however I think that Blim Blim's sight will suffice)

Hey Treo, are there more opportunities to swap guns in GRAW2 sp? The thing that really bothered me about the first game was that I was stuck with the same gun for several missions. And the enemy were all issued the same gun :|

Yes you are given several ops to change your weapon especially when given the m.u.l.e That thing is a life saver as there are some missions where the Zeus will be handy to have.

Speaking of the Zeus, you are now given the option to carry one main rifle and a P90 (silenced or not) a Mp5 and th M101 auto shotgun and the Rx4 Storm.

As for explosives you can opt for "Packs"

Offensive pack consists of more grenades (about 8 if I remember) and 4 smoke

defensive pack is more smoke and less Frags 7/5

and destructive pack

5 Frags
4 satchel charges (great against APC's and other vehicles. Plus they go BOOM! :P )
 
Hey Treo, how many slots are there for clan members? I'll be on tomorrow night, and if anyone is interested in playing some co-op missions send me a friend request. GT is purg3

Wow got a couple of games today, and I must say this is awesome! I love the new healing system for multi, case in point:


I had a red team member in sight, so I lined her up and lobbed a 40mm grenade. I over shot her by a couple of meters, however she was caught just inside the blast radius, and down she went. I was about to move on when I saw her squirming on her back in agony. So I did what any good person would do. I pulled out the hand gun and gave her a double tap to the face.


Grawesome!

You're really trying to sell me onto this game. I never played the first GRAW and I really cannot afford to pick it up tomorrow because I'm getting Motorstorm, but these impressions are making it really hard to resist. I hope to rent it on Friday from blockbuster...if I can hold out hat long.
 
So until yesterday, I was set on skipping on this one as I figured that Ubi would just be UBi and not make any improvements on this one... well, I spent the whole of yesterday's afternoon and last night by my friend who's the real Ghost Recon nut, and I gotta say that they ACTUALLY improved almost everything in the game, including in MP, right down to the Achievements...

No longer can I run loops around the Co-op Campaign's A.I., and no longer are the missions there pretty much make a circle around the map - they are actually much more tactical, both in mission and level design - all evening with about 8 of us, we only managed to beat just ONE co-op level... wow.

And I love being able to see what my teammates and the drone see in full-screen as well too - very cool, and it's a wonder why it wasn't there in the first place - probably just held back to add some value to the sequel I guess...

I didn't go any further than the training level, but hot damn, the lighting in that level alone than surpasses GRAW1... and from what one of my buddies who got the game even earlier went on about the whole night, the SP is pretty damn good, and looks even more amazing... and that the explosions are to die for...

And now, here I sit with my sealed copy, ready to crack it open in a few... damn it... I was already content with the games I have to play already, and I'm not even a Ghost Recon fan in the slightest bit, but man, they actually took the time to improve the game quite considerably... I'm impressed Ubi, I'm quite impressed...
 
Interest rising...

While I never bothered with multiplayer, I LOVED the single player campaign in GRAW. It had its share of issues, but there were some truly incredible missions in there (that rail yard mission was probably my favorite, actually).

If it takes everything good about the original and kicks it up a notch, I may just have to give it a shot.
 
I'd be all over this if it weren't for the clumsy ass cover system. I spend way too much time wrestling w/ that. Really annoying.

Personally i think they SP campaign is improved interms of level design and atmosphere. The lighting is just awesome. Your Teamates are not as dumb as before either. They are actually useful now.

MP is the reason for this game DArk10x. love the MP level design so far.
