Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter multiplayer hands-on preview

[Everlost_MI]

TeamXbox (http://www.teamxbox.com/) has posted a multiplayer hands-on preview (http://previews.teamxbox.com/xbox-360/1259/Tom-Clancys-Ghost-Recon-Advanced-Warfighter/p1/) of Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter including new screenshots and in-game footage for your viewing pleasure.

Here's a bit from it...

It’s worth noting that Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter errs on the side of simulation, so the control actions are somewhat realistic. For instance, switching between your available weapons is not an instantaneous action. To put away your gun and grab a frag grenade in real life takes some time, and that time is represented in Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter. Reload times are fairly accurate, and the pace of movement in the various stances appears legit. The night vision is a hybrid system that is more like thermal vision than anything. The greenish hues make the system look like night vision, but the action lights up any breathing object like a light bulb.
Drool.

I'm looking forward to this a lot. I hope this game will be great :)

This does sound promising and it sounds like it will be tense game.

However I hope that if I shoot someone the enemy will react instead of showing a terrible slow death animation. In GR2 it looked like they fell asleep :rolleyes:

If I shoot someone with a high powered rifle I want them to show it :D

Wow looks great... am hoping that this will be the Live game that I play for next few months after release. I had a lot of fun with RB6 and this looks very similar ;) Also very deadly!

>If I shoot someone with a high powered rifle I want them to show it

;) You know if you shoot somebody with a high powered rifle in real life he doesn't fly backwards like in the movies... he will just drop like a brick. The "falling asleep" animation should be just faster if they want a realistic game, but I guess they like a slower death since you can see the ragdoll effects better ;)

You've shot many people with a high powered rifle in real life buddy?

He heeee. I could've seen to many movies I guess. I just like a shooting game with that OOMPH if you know what I mean. For me games that got it right...

CounterStrike.(still the best in my opinion)
Rainbow Six 3.
Far Cry.
Halo 1 and 2.
Call of Duty 2.

You need good weapon feel in shooters or is that just me? It's a mix of the animation of the gun,sound effect and victims response :cool:

I would be happy with a RB6:3 feel in GR3. I think that was realistic and satisfying at the same time.

No Mr Green I haven't in response to your question :p

No :)

Saw a program on TV (Myth Busters???) about it where they wanted to test if all those movies are realistic ;) Turns out bodies hardly move at all, even when shooting them with a shotgun, they usually slump forward or just collapse.

>You need good weapon feel in shooters or is that just me? It's a mix of the animation of the gun,sound effect and victims response

Yeah.. very important. You need to feel the pain ;)

Im buying this one blind, and I do not care if it sucks or not. I have liked rainbow 6 style games since the first one.

I agree, but you need to be aware of the differences between the Rainbo 6 series and the Ghost Recon Series. R6 seemed to mostly consist of close-quarters, indoor combat. Ghost Recon seems mostly outdoors, ranged combat. The action can be very different. FYI

[phantomhitman]

Yeah, I know, I have played them all since the original r6. I have seen all the clips from the new one as well. I hope you can turn off half of the hud crap because it really clutters the screen.

I loved Rainbow Six Rogue Spear on the PC, but didn't really know what RS loving was like until I went on Live and could talk to and hear my teammates.

Don't bother mentioning teamspeak to me - that only works if you get get it set up, it stays up, and everyone knows how to launch it blah blah setup time yawn.

Rainbo 6 series
I read that wrong, but where are the Rambo games, anyway?
