Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter

Ive been having a bit of a moan lately about how slow GRAW is, movement wise, last night I had a go at multiplayer and it is a lot faster, very similar to cod2 movement speed, is this because some of the fancy effects are dropped for multiplayer? if this is the case then the 360 must be struggling to process the extra features in the main campaign, surely??? Im trying to get used to the slow movement because i think the games great, last night though i was trying to follow an enemy across the screen to shoot him but the movement is so slow my sights couldnt catch him up, he just ran across the screen with my sights following him about 2 metres behind, i was helpless just couldnt put my sight on him at all???

No its just the way the gameplay is set, like in instant action its a lot faster like in multiplayer, its speeded up to stop the game being a boring camp fest. Also note how you cant slide up against walls etc. if these were features in multiplayer the game would be insanely slow and frustrating, constantly getting picked off by someone leaning round a corner etc.

In general the simplified controls in multiplayer work ok, but I wish they'd kept the "hold breath" action when sniping/zooming.

I'd actually prefer the slower more tactical game in MP.

Ive just done the training mission, think i'll just need to keep doing that for a bit before i start it proper, get myself used to it as theres a bit to take in what with all the button presses, i didn't know what i was doing half the time, and plus ive never played these games before either, seems a cracking game though, the graphics are quality.

Also one more problem,, has anyone noticed screen tearing?? I have noticed it quite a bit in the background when moving, im using a 19''tft monitor with vga lead??.

thanks

Yeah I've noticed that, more in the MP game than the SP one. Was hoping it wasn't my LCD doing it !

Shame there seems to be a fair few games like this, no VSYNC for some reason.

However, I found with condemned that outputting at 1080 instead of 720 made it better, as if the extra lines meant the frame rate dropped far enough to stop the tearing. Will try the same with this.

No, it's so that Multiplayer is quicker paced. Multiplayer is an entirely different game (no squad, 1 on 1, fast-paced action!).

well after playing with OCUK 2nite, its definately getting returned, imo MP doesnt look next gen, wheras SP does

Each to their own. I personally didn't think it was as good as it could have been, but I haven't really thrown a whole lot of time into it (nowhere near as much as I would have liked). The helicopter section on hard (level 2) is just spoiling it for me. I hate ANY section in ANY game thats like this.

My god, wiping out a game just because its MP graphics aren't 'next gen'.
If you want good graphics above all else, play on the PC and leave consoles alone. FSAA, AF & High Resolutions cost a lot, but they make almost any game look good. By the time all X360 games look 'next gen' the PC will be fairly far ahead. Same goes for any console, PCs are always ahead in graphics. If you're going for the X360 because its cheaper, then, beggers can't be choosers tbh.

Nokkon: The helicopter sections aren't so bad. Just 'burst' the minigun (ye I know, the point of a minigun is u can spray without it overheating and without recoil - but this is a game), keeping the temp in yellow or green. The rapid fire will scare the enemy soldiers and they won't be able to aim straight.

il rephrase that as i do come across sounding like im hating it because of the GFX, most people know i bought a 360 because i wanted fun not amazing GFX on a PC, my fav xbox 360 game is FIFA as its fun, pick up and play, as stated in other threads, this game isnt my cup of tea, isnt pick up and play and the multiplayer is boring

Fair enough

 

[LoadsaMoney]

Im very impressed with the graphics, especially on a £280 console.

 

[KennyBhoy]

I've just about completed it.....Left the last of it till tomorrow....Drag it out a bit

 

[FeFiDoh]

i really like it the single player was good and got u involved and good team base. Only thing that is kinda annoying is how some of the levels seem to be the same just in slightly diff areas?

Multiplayer is kool too ok it aint the best but it offers something different. PD0 is boring online really and takes 10million shots b4 u get armour off. This u just cant run around and shoot willy nilly. The team games are fun too as u really do have to work as a team as the campaign shows the few of us that played tonight see how hard that is!

 

[Sagalout]

I cant really see any difference between multiplayer graphics and single player. , apart from in split screen. Some of those multiplayer maps looks stunning - certainly as good as say BF2, CSS.

I'm not sure what poeple are expecting for next gen. tbh for me next gen console will be about the same as current gen top spec pc, and for £280 I'm more than happy with that.
