DC GRAW 2 has somewhat chaged from GRAW 1, but nothing that says "here comes the NEW Ghost Recon" you know what I mean. This is like a expansion pack with extra weather and shadow effects and just a tad little better graphics on the single-player and MP. And with new weapons, better if I may add, the M4 is back, I love in the demo, just a shame you use it in the very end.

I do agree that if the games were slightly cheaper it would sell more, and everyone would be happy...I think =S.

Here is the HD MOV link:
http://www.gametrailers.com/player.php?id=16705&ty...

Seeing it HD...everything looks amazing in MP, yes...but one question...

where the **** is the damn textures on the soldiers and environments?
If those were added, I am 90% sure that GRAW 2 MP visuals would look somewhat exactly like the single player mode.

I do not know, I think I am gonna give this game a try...buy it, play the MP first...IF its good I am keeping it, if not, returning it back.
Just gonna play Lost Planet and see if that keeps my interest or not, and yes its the CE version.

PS. Seeing how the MP is working well on this trailer, I am sure that I can say the MP demo might come out very soon.

Whoa the multi doesn't look too bad at all.

The sunset part was incredible... the water is great. The shadows at some moments were really really good.

At first I thought the soldiers need more textures, but I think its just a specific visual style that would appear much better if we were playing it ourselves. I saw signs of the solder uniform looking really good.

GRAW was a solid game, and im glad they are not doing anything that new with it. And im extremely happy that the cover system isnt in mp either... every game doesnt need it
Well, GRAW was a good game, for the launch window. I'm personally pretty disappointed that they're not taking this further though. And yea, I don't think they should essentially be two different games (singleplayer, multiplayer). Funny that you bring R6V up, since Vegas has a cover system in an FPS (where it barely fits) yet they rip half of the gameplay out of the multiplayer mode in this third person shooter (where you get the advantage that cover brings from the camera, anyway).

Multiplayer wasn't BAD looking in GRAW 1, but the lobby system was pretty horrible, are we looking at the same deal all over again?

Just some odd decisions. Better multiplayer would have convinced me that this isn't just a glorified version of the original game, but that's what I'm seeing. Turning into a total rental.

My nly request in GRAW 2 is this

Better lobby system and online connection.
Add freaking textures in the MP.
Make the game price cheap and not like a new game, because it is NOT a new game.

All this could be added as a new patch like Chapter 3 with new weapons, environment, outfit...etc.

I dont know why Ubisoft is doing these days, even the worst company making a next-gen wouldnt downgrade graphics from SP to MP.

Red storm wants to make a more balanced and stable online game rather than a really graphic heavy game that can only have 8 players that still shows a lot of lag.
I actually super get that. To the point where the fact doesn't annoy me even. Multiplayer - as in where you shoot other players in the face - looking like it does doesn't bother me one bit, and like you and many others say - it really looks great in MP aswell. It looks different, yeah, but great nonetheless.

Now, the aspect that gets on MY tits is that you can't play the single player game with your friends. Instead having that group of complete idiots with their shoelaces tied together, following eachother into death (admirable from a certain perspective I suppose) just gets so incredibly old. For someone who takes pride in their squad based games, they easily have the worst AI for squad mates around.

I wanna take three of my friends and have them do something useful - that's where this game, like GRAW, under-delivers for me.

Multiplayer looks like an upgraded version of the original multiplayer engine. Would much rather the game...was one game. This GRAW doesn't seem worth getting super excited over. I still want to play it, but I don't think it's worth another $60 after having just played GRAW a year ago. I was hoping/expecting for a much more significant update.

Unify the damn game into a single, solid product, and I'm all over it. It's really looking more and more like half a sequel to me though..they may deliver with new content..but they're not delivering by moving the series forward.

I almost think it's funny that people are praising the multiplayer videos/screens, when they look very simular to the first game. A day night cycle and better enviromental effects won't blind me to the fact that it's basically the same game. People bitched endlessly about GRAW 1's "downgraded graphics" in MP--well this is the same damn deal (GRAW 1's MP wasn't really that bad looking, either).

there is no way all this could've been added as chapter 3. GRAW2 contains more material than GRAW did. Improvements to the engine, more features, and a FULL game.

And like I said earlier about the downgrade in graphics, Red storm is mp lead while Ubi does the SP. Red Storm likes to have their games extremely balanced with the least amount of lag, slowdown, etc.

The MP still looks great IMO, its not Gears of War, but what is?

When it shows it like that yeah of course it looks great...but the thing is I didnt have a problem with its graphics when I had GRAW...I enjoyed the only thing that made me say "fuck this, I am trading this in" was the lobby system and its connections.

IF that is fixed I might buy it, because sure more weapons, better maps, better visuals of the environment like shadows, sun, water,...etc.
I am still in a dilemma of the whole trading in Lost Plane against GRAW 2.

Yeah...but yet...damn tetures are missing, they should atleast add it on the outfits if not on the environment.


it looks too clean if you know what I mean. Kind of feels like the person who was making the design was sick that day were his job adding the textures on the outfit, so they missed that out.

Just called GAME and pre-ordered it I can afford two games, but make the money less I am gonna trade in LP.
I was watching GRAW 2 MP videos on IGN on HD, and I was like, ah old memories, I am buying it.
Beside I always adjust to games and try not to be picky, but I guess games like Gears of War have spoiled me, so I am gonna be more open minded in visuals.

I wonder how deep the customizations on MP will go, meaning the outfit. Because it was very limited on the first GRAW. Besides I have read that you can somewhat customize your weapons, meaning like scope, silencer, mag power...etc.

Any of you who knows more about this cares to tell me?

kk,

just thought id post this tidbit from the ign article

"It's about time we saw some legit clan support on the 360. And GRAW 2 is doing it right -- 100 players, invite system, clan logo and clan leaderboards. Ubisoft is doing everything but throwing clan-based pizza parties, a slight upgrade over Rainbow Six: Vegas in which you could choose three letters to name your clan. As great as Vegas is, those "clan" options SUK. "

And i also love

"New features have been added to the game itself, as well, with most of them coming at the request of the player community. The first we noticed, thanks in part to a few slugs to the chest, is the ability to revive downed teammates. If you take enough damage, but not enough to fully end your life, you'll collapse to the ground in a fashion similar to Gears of War. Everyone else on your team will get a flashing icon telling them that you're down with an indicator letting them know which direction they should go to find you. "
