If anyone here has these games can you please answer a few questions as i have not looked into them myself. Whichever is the latest of these games, is there much of a multiplayer community, or has it all died out for games like BF2/CoD4? Also, what is the singleplayer like? is the storyline and feel of the game comparable to CoD4?

The main reason i never realy tried playing these games is because trying to controll more then one person at a time in a FPS can be a bit annoying, so what is it like in these modern games where you have to controll a squad? have they developed the games so that its easy to do, or is it still a pain to have to look after so many other people?
 
Only played the 1st two on the list and was a while ago now but from what I remember there's a lot more thinking involved than COD4, more stealth crawling, planning etc.

Never played online so can't answer there.

As for the reduction in price it screams "I'm desperate to be sold" to me so if you can pick it up elsewhere possibly pre owned I'd do that especially as I only see GRAW2 the only one worth playing. (IMO)
 
the first ghost recon plus addons IMO are better gameplay wise than the advanced warfighter games, though they look a lot nicer and have some nice features, i don't think there is a big ghost recon community these days though i could be wrong, everyone seems to be playing those arcade shooters COD4 and what not. but ghost recon is worth it for the single player IMO :)

your really helping here :rolleyes: thats just your opinion, like my opinion that COD4 is a talentless spamfest with no real skill involved :p ghost recon games are marmite games, you love them or you hate them
 
All of them are great. The old Ghost Recons are great, but I think people playing them online is very small and the same really applies to the newer Advanced Warfighter games.

Singleplayer is not too bad but can get a bit tedious after bit and the poor AI doesn't help either.

These games are awesome when online, but the community is so small it's difficult to get a game going with a regular bunch of people.

Game play is nothing like BF2 or COD4. Everything from the gun ballistics, the viewpoints and character movement is geared towards realism; the fact that you can't jump, says everything really.

BTW, in singleplayer the squad control in the GRAW games is brilliant. You can control them on the fly, i.e. just point where want your squad members to go and select from a popup menu (intergrated into the HUD). You can also use a aerial map view that allows more precise control and planning, i.e. setting routes and specific actions. Also, there's a camera feature that allows you to see what your squad members are seeing.

god i hate jumping in FPS, because with jumping you get bunny hopping morons who just needlessly jump around shooting like idiots, CS was REALLY bad for that last time i played, the main reason i chucked it on a shelf never to be played again, since it was rubbish! its hard to find decent modern FPS to be frank, far too much spamming of various kinds, ghost recon games are still some of the only FPS that don't have any of this, which is why enjoy them so much :)
 
It's a good job the bad guys never realised that all they would have needed to do to stop a crack US squad infiltrating any of their bases was to build a knee high wall...
