No more GR2....

GR2 isn't gonna happen....


QUOTE (UbiRazz)

"This decision was not an easy one.

We did not want to disappoint the loyal Ghost Recon fans, but we did not want to risk releasing a final product that did not meet their high expectations. With the launch of Ghost Recon 3 planned for Winter 2005, significant human resources were needed to ensure the quality of the future instalment of the series, thus potentially jeopardizing the quality of either Ghost Recon 2 PC or Ghost Recon 3. Taking into account their close release dates, and the fact that we felt the third opus would be a much more satisfying and evolved gaming experience, we were forced to conclude that it was in the interest of gamers for us to cancel the PC version of Ghost Recon 2. But Ghost Recon 3 on PC will hit shelves the fourth quarter of 2005, so the wait won’t be long, and will definitely be worth it."

I think Ubi's marketting for GR2 (PC) - sorry, can't stop laughing at the irony of that choice of wording - made it pretty clear to all that it was only a matter of time before they bothered to inform us of this. They clearly decided months ago.

If the Xbox version is anything to go by though, we haven't missed much.

And I have no doubt whatsoever that there won't be a GR3 for PC either.

All we can hope for is that someone will keep making mods for the original (and as far as I am concerned the "only") version of GR.

Give Obsidian Edge a try. If you have Far Cry, you have nothing to loose. If you don't have far Cry, it cost 20 dollars and you still have nothing to loose. The single player is really good, the multi player isn't. but the OE mod is well worth the 20 dollars. IMHO

If MP isn't any good, then what is the point?

He means MP of Far Cry isn't great. OE is an MP-only mod for FC, and is well-regarded by many. No SP for it though.

Yeah, what Gav said. There are sereral People working on this mod. It is a mod of Far Cry but they have went in and changed how Far Cry plays. Changed the speed of the running, swimming, shooting. They have changed how the Multi-Player game plays. Its nothing like Far Cry Multi-Player. they have created serveral of the GR maps and put them in the OE game. I Haven't heard anyone say yet that they didn't like it. It takes a little to get used to it. There isn't any one shot kills, unless your sniping. and thats not easy to get away with. All scoped weapons have scope glare that will give away your postion. I can't go into all of it, that would take forever. Just get the game sign up at OE and play it. The finished Mod will have at least 30 maps in it. Many will be GR maps. Ruggbutt said Staples was listing Far Cry for 10 dollars. I haven't seen that yet, but its well worth 10 dollars.
