Question so what is UbiSoft/GR series up too?

Notice the flash pop up...interactive, click around...

Wonder what UbiSoft is up to next? Or the Ghost Recon series?

I don't know, but it's taking forever, lol. Probably something more futuristic and irritating to me. Oh, how I miss my original GR...

I don't miss it...got it installed and play it every week or two, lol... looks great at 1600x1200x32 with everything jacked high...

Same with Raven Shield... I remember when both first came out and I struggled to get them working at low settings.

I dunno, when the popup loaded I saw this steaming pile of crap and I shut it down.

Yeah, GsTA was devoted to GR and up until I left, they were still playing it. I honestly got tired of it and wanted to move on to something that I didn't know like the back of my hand, but none of them did, hence my relocation to TG. I do miss the feel of GR though. RvS was a mixed bag for me. I struggled to run it also and was always getting wasted by guys running bigger machines and higher frame rates. I'm not much for the run and gun aspect of the Rainbow Six series multiplayer. But that's just me. ArmA seems to have gotten most of it's bugs out, so I'm camping there and in PR.

EDIT: And I have never, ever heard any military radio transmission where they used the term "niner".

Finally a worthy successor to Strike Commander!
My bet is on an arcade/flight action/story mix game!

Oh you know...

Making things more generic and less interesting.

^ ^ ^

Ubisoft isn't exactly reputed to do anything except dumb down more games to appeal to a "wider audience" (marketing slang for "the console tard crowd").

While interesting in concept...

I cannot support a flight sim on consoles. It just doesnt FEEL right.

It'll be arcadey, watered down, and in the same direction as GR is now..

Same here, let's hope Ground Branch will remedy the pain we've had to suffer with that GRAW crap
