Out of the clear blue, Ubisoft dropped a bomb on Xbox Live Marketplace earlier today. A short but sweet demo was released of GRAW 2's single player action, which niftily shows off some of the new features and weapons supported in the much-anticipated follow-up.
KeenGamer: ''Wildlands, Shadow Wars, Future Soldier, and Advanced Warfighter 2 are among some of the best Ghost Recon games that tactical shooter fans can play until Breakpoint finally releases for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on October 4.

Wait till you guys see all the Pay To Win micro-transactions that are in this game!! Yes, everything from buying weapons (NOT just skins), to attachments, to skill unlocks, to "time savers", etc....and this is just naming a few. Check out the videos online for Breakpoint's Store!
I was so jacked for this game, but now it's a pass just like this year's COD.
I'm predicting that these greedy companies will soon be the death of video games as we know it.

Pretty sure you can get this for 50 cents on g2a right now lol.
Free game is a free game though. Mostly busting balls; MS has been offering a fantastic amount of content, and asking little for it.
GRAW2 was fantastic back in the day. I had it on PS3, and for it's time, the graphics were great and the single player campaign was excellent. The multi-player was excellent too, especially since you had clan tools, you could make custom servers with any map with loads of options, like, dawn/dusk/afternoon and evening light settings, custom camo for each team, turn Night Vision on/off for both teams, and a bunch of other small options. There were also a whole bunch of different verses modes to choose from.
The co-op for GRAW2 was great also, with what I remember to be a total of around 10 co-op modes, like a full co-op campaign, helicopter hunt, terrorist hunt, and a bunch of others. 2005-2012ish was when you actually received great value for money. They don't make games packed with content like this anymore, and if they do, you either need to purchase a seasons pass for an extra $60.00, or you can buy each item separately, costing you an arm and a leg.
Back on PS2 Ghost Recon was also ahead of its time, with Ghost Recon: Jungle Storm, offering two (2) separate and full single player campaigns (one was from Island Thunder, and the other took place in Cuba, and was exclusive to the PS2), voice commands to your A.I. teammates in single player (Socom was also doing this at the time), a full multi-player suite with really well designed maps, and 4 player online co-op. This was one of my all time favorites on PS2.
Only real good GW was the original. everything after I simply did not consider good myself.
I've used it. I know it's a shady site but, at the end of the day, I'm the consumer. The place usually offers me the best deals.
I had like 2 copies of this game and both jakked up when I tried loading it. So I've never played it. 3rd times a charm?

Well, just to confuse matters even more the free Xbox Games With Gold titles for April 2019 are here, and that can only mean one thing - more games for you, for free, to either add to your backlog or to jump right on into straight away. First though, let’s take a look at the Xbox games on offer to see just which ones are worth your time and which you’d be best off leaving for a rainy day."
Not bad for me. Going to play Ghost Recon 2 for the memories and interested in checking out Outcast, never played or heard of it before.
Technomancer is ok if you like the genre, I’ve never even heard of outcast. Battlefront 2 and ghost recon 2 were good for their time-but could be fun if you’re in the mood for them.
It’s a meh month.
The XB1 games not so much, but Battlefront 2 is awesome! They said somewhere that it might be playable online. I doubt that's true but if it is then that's a big deal considering how beloved BF2 multiplayer is.
Seriously lately the free games on the epic store have been better than the PS or Xbox offerings meanwhile the epic store is genuinely free!
hopefully the multi-player demo will be up soon. i wish they would have implemented r6:v cover system though. otherwise it's pretty nice. they seem to think the squad a.i. is better this time around, but the demo didn't really show it. they are better at giving more specific info, but i had 1 run right past an enemy at a distance of about 5 feet, and neither reacted to the other. i've liked all of them except graw for the regular xbox, so i doubt i'll have a problem with this 1.
man i am sorry that you happend to ya. i know some buddies who bought GRAW for the last gen system because at that time did not have a 360 yet. they were pissed that they wasted their money on that game.
so over all it is an improvement over GRAW as far as you can tell? play better in any particular way?
It graphically looks the same as graw except for the guy you command. There was no blood coming from those retards you shoot either and I was overall disappointed. The new features does not do justice for me buying this game and not interested in seeing an expansion for it if it cost 20 buxs just for different lighting.
I'll tell you a few things I can't stand after playing the demo a couple times, first I REALLY wish you could run, like GOW style run, instead of like jog, it makes the game boring kinda and bog down a little, it's not major I just wish they would implement this because soldiers do run and they don't do it standing straight up at a jogging pace. Enemies are still kind of stupid and aside from what they say, they most certainly DO NOT flank! Once again not major, they seem better but their still kinda stupid, maybe it's just the demo? Lastly WHY oh WHY Ubisoft can you run through trees, shrubs and plants? I mean you can shoot them and parts fall off but the plant looks the same? That's not realistic or next gen, being able to run right through them and having them disappear into your character once again is not next gen, why can't they sway and move when you walk by them? Or why can't they atleast make it so that your not ABLE to run through them? I mean I understand Crysis is probably the first game to pull off the dismantling of plants with holes, shooting off leaves and having them move when you walk through, but does it really take that much graphical prowess to do that? Or is it just lasy deving too worried about realistic lighting, smoke and explosions? Sorry if this seems petty it just irritates me alot for some reason.
