2007-02-21 20:53:18 GRAW2 Gameplay vids... poor quality... Ebassy from GR1 is back!

They show Embassy from GR1 and GRIT, re-imagined for the power of the 360.

I'm officially excited after seeing this, having played Embassy hundreds of times on the original GR. Very nice lighting, even though the quality of the vid is very low.

It shows a handful of other vids at the link too, of other maps in GRAW2 besides Embassy.

Well Embassy, was overplayed, but I'm glad it made the jump over to 360. Night Docks got played too much too, but I liked it as well. Farm, Prison, and Vilnius would all make cool remakes. I'm not a great fan of 3rd person view, but the GR/GRAW series is still one of the best on 360, and is popular for a reason. GRAW lacks some of the strategic spirit of the original, but it is still good. Not reason enough to go a "junior high" halo boy rant.

Hooray for no cover and downgraded graphics!

Again!

2007-02-22 03:46:12

umm its good theres no cover, cover ruined rainbow six. And downgraded graphics? GRAW's mp graphics are still very good, and the graphics in 2 are even better. Many sites have even said they look almost as good as the single player. I really hope you don't like rainbow (since the game sports terrible mp graphics)

The cover system made rainbow Six BETTER!

Also, the graphics are definately NOT downgraded. The multiplayer will never look as good as the single player, but it still looks excellent.

A lot of people like the cover system in R6, but I actually agree with you. I don't think that cover would do much to damage to what is generally speaking a third person game though--and that's a big difference--you can already see around corners here without a line of site. If a game is basically a third person shooter, I don't think a cover system would go far in destroying it online. The fact that there is cover in R6 (a first person shooter) and they take it out of GRAW, well, I find that a bit strange.

But whatever--different developers--different strokes.

While I wasn't a big fan of that decision (R6:Cover), I'm not a big fan of how much different the multiplayer game is when compared to the campaign either. Different engine, different gameplay...different game. I don't mind the graphics (they looked good in GRAW), I just wish it were a more consistant package.

God, I love this cheesy music (in a blockbuster kinda way, nice but too much).
I'm thrilled, can't wait to give the MP a try next week !
I just hope they'll do something about the palm trees that looked like green pixels clusters in GRAW 1.

I'm a big fan of Rainbow six, and although i was a critic of the cover system before the game was released, i've been playing it almost every evening since it's release and i can say that the cover system is pretty good.

It isn't overpowered: mostly people who use the cover system allot get owned because it's a bit harder to aim quickly and you're a bit exposed + standing still at the same moment....

They should add cover to this game IMO...
