Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2 Preview

by Maarten Goldstein, Feb 14, 2007 2:50pm PST

IGN has posted a preview of Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2, taking a look at the PC version of the tactical action game sequel. Unfortunately it is again independently developed by GRIN, instead of just being a port of the Xbox 360 version. Lets hope for better results this time around.

The good thing about it being separate is that if they eventually DO get the engine running correctly and the AI good it'll be much better than the 360 version, at least in Coop. Me and Silversnake played through the entire 360 coop campaign just the two of us and it sucks balls. It's just run and gun (or just as Ghost Recon 1 & 2 on the xbox).

The PC version is much slower and you still have the AI there. They just need to take a hint from Rainbow Six Vegas on the cover system, it rules.

Um, I'm glad it's being developed independently, thank you very much. I'd rather have a version tailor-made for the PC than some lame port.

I just got the first GRAW for the PC and I'm liking it a lot. I played the demo quite a bit and so far I'm not having too much trouble with playing the full game. I believe the patch they released fixed the squad AI, they seemed ok to me in a fight. Outside of the checkpoint system, I'm not dissatisfied with much...however I did get it for 20 bucks too. Anyway, If they have improved the original, I would definitely take look at it.

I have both PC and 360 versions of the original GRAW and while the 360 version seems to be a more well presented package, I did like the fact that the loadouts were more customizable in the PC version and that you had more control over your squadmates.

There were a few interface elements that I didn't like about the PC version and the squadmate AI was not as smart as the 360 version. I think with better AI and maybe doing a menu system more like the 360 where you select commands on the main hud with a wheel system instead of a scrolling menu that GRAW 2 would be a much better game. I just liked the fact that the PC version was a more tactical experience.
