I've been playing GR since the pc demo came out back in '01/02.

Future Soldier is NOT Ghost recon!

In SP on Elite, you can't turn off auto aim.

You can't change the controller layout.

You can't change your weapons ROF.

In MP

There are two incredibly annoying gadgets with no way to counter them. That would be the flash bulb gun and the taser. When someone flashes you, the whole screen goes green for about 6-7 seconds and you can do NOTHING about it (provided you don't get shot)!

When someone tases you, they start "hacking" you. Again, NOTHING you can do about it but lay there and watch. Then when you come to and start to get up, they just kill you.

I'm all for cool gadgets, and these sound cool, until it happens to you. There is no way to counter them. like maybe wear a pair of glasses that reduce the flash effect. Or some sort of taser negating body armor. No options for that at all.

The maps are really small, urban, COD type maps. Not one large outdoor map with room to maneuver tactically.

The guns suck! The Goblin literally takes alnost the entire mag to bring someone down with! Don't like it? Tough! The weapons are now "unlocks"! As if I'm some short attention span twelve year old who needs a carrot dangled in front of me to entice me to keep playing. So that means you have to run around with crap guns whilst getting owned by everyone who has unlocked the better ones. And those don't unlock till you reach around level twenty!

The cover system is wonky! Lots of times I'll be in cover and move to the edge of a wall when the game will, for some reason, release me from being in cover (???). Now I'm just standing out there usually resulting in getting shot!

These are my major gripes, and only a fraction of the reasons why I'll be selling my copy!

R.I.P. Ghost Recon. It was fun while it lasted.

Yes you can buy a harddrive later, but it will cost you more overall than just buying the Pro bundle with the harddrive already included. You really are better off saving up the extra to get the ProAvenger1324
It will cost you exactly the same buying the HD later. The 60 gig HD is 99.99 and includes the headset and ethernet cable. If all you can afford is the Arcade right now, buy it & get the HD later.

[QUOTE="dkdk999"]can somone tell me whats so great about gta 4kerrman

The graphics, the story, the gameplay, the firearms, the hookers, the cars, the bikes, the living breathing city, the in-game internet, the dozens of hours of playtime, the hundreds of missions and side missions.. and basically everything else in the game.

Oh! Almost forgot.. the fact that people like you, the people who can't see true beauty, will not be playing it. I'm very excited about what could be a very good community.

Don't forget Multiplayer. 4 words-

Online Racing With Weapons.

If they can't understand that then there is no hope! And I hope we have great community also!

Even if they put this on pc programs,how hard are they to install that you would need someone to come over and do it for you?

I mean,insert disk and the pc pretty much walks you through it.

Make the switch to cable broadband!

I used to have ADSL and was getting 9-10,000 down and around900-1000 uo.I got a new room mate who brought high speed cable with him,so I hooked it up to check the diff.I get 12-13,000 down and 1500-1700 up!

Needless to say,my Vegas experience has improved greatly with no more bullet lag and smoothly connected rooms.Plus we split the bill which comes to $31.00 each.And that is $15.00 less than my old DSL. More beer money,eh ;)

[QUOTE="fore_runner"]

When did they dissapear?

Personally...I hate the ads.

True_Blu3

They were always gone, actually.

Then how did you ever know that they were there to make the"dashboard more colorful and less bland"?

I mean if they were truly "always gone,actually."

Then how would you know the difference?

Just an observatory thought on my part.

Maybe you would care to elaborate and fill in the blanks for the rest of us unelightened people.
