Late to the party: Ghost Recon 2

WildWop

CAGiversary!
I picked this up a couple of weeks ago via a Gamestop B2G1, and I must say I'm pleasantly surprised by how fun it is. A quick breakdown of the +/- through 8 missions:

+ Nice looking graphics -- I especially like the look of the FFW gear.
+ Varied environments
+ History Channel-style intros feel very appropriate
+ Third person perspective -- I loathe the floating reticule from GR1 (oh boy, I really feel immersed! Look how it bounces as I walk!)
+ Lone-wolf missions with the M29. I remember reading about that gear 5 years ago in a PopSci issue, and it's really cool to get to play around with it in a game.

- Retarded team AI
- Retarded enemy AI (they run around like they were trained in the 1800's)
- Tough to discern shapes at a distance. I'd like to think that camo shouldn't be so effective when the target is in the middle of an open road.

So Far: 7/10
Projected: 8/10 if there are more lone-wolf missions
 
Have you encountered any errors yet? I have the most recent XBox and still had problems with it, as did a few people I talked to. Maybe they silently patched it on XBox Live or something, because it hasn't happened in a long time.

Haven't played anything on Live! yet. I usually (with the exception of SCCT and Rainbow Six) finish the single player before venturing online.

Nope, haven't had any trouble with it yet.

I do find it irritating that it "verifies downloaded content" every time I start the game. I want those 15 seconds of my life back, Ubisoft! Along with the minutes wasted as I am forced to watch the SC:CT video if I DARE take the disc out to play something else.

Those things in both those games really irritate me as well. I'm just really impatient when it comes to clunky, online interfaces (like on GR2) and unnecessary load times.
 
[quote name='jughead']Add me to your friends list. I just got this game.[/QUOTE]


You look like a just got this game Jug. You going to be playing tonight? I should be at some point. My uncle and I are supposed to play this and a few other games tonight.
 
maybe so Craven. I was thinking about getting drunk. Perhaps early this evening I will be playing. Hope to see you on here.
