New Ghost Recon for Xbox (1 Viewer)

[Scott "E"]

"The Clancy brand owes its incredible popularity to gamers who want an intense and realistic gameplay experience," said Tony Kee, Ubi Soft's vice president of marketing. "With this new campaign disk, Ubi Soft Entertainment can give back to Ghost Recon fans, providing them with more of their favorite Ghost action without the price tag of a whole new game."

I'm expecting it to be priced at $29.99, although I wouldn't complain if it was $19.99 .

That is great news, on the price, Scott.

Derrik, I think Raven Shield is due in this Fall -- maybe September? And:



And come to think of it, Scott, I can't make you a new gamertag logo. This forum has rules about explicit content, you know.

How about using that Buck from Boogie Nights?

 

[Ryan Peter]

Or more specifically the cartoon version done of him for the latest New Line release cover

Wow, that Painkiller tag is sweet. Great job as always, Jay. I like the font especially. Oh, except I think Derrik has 3 "L's" in his tag...something about the regular spelling being taken already? So I guess he's "Painkilller".

And for Scott, maybe you can conjure up a picture of the taillight of a motorcycle way, way in the distance ahead. That will always be my image of him.

If it's 19.99 or 29.99 I'll consider picking it up. Though I too am really looking forward to Raven Shield. Depending on how busy I am and what other games are out(in conjunction with the price) I may or may not pick this one up. Oh well atleast they fixed the game finding bug of the current GR.

 

[James St]

I think this is great news. However, I'm more interested in whether or not they fix some the gaming issues instead of what maps and guns they add. Eliminating spawn camping and allowing the average broadband user to host a twelve man game without handicap should be at the top of the list. If they can't alleviate these issues then I will probably pass on this regardless of price.


Has anyone played any games after the patch was released? I'm curious if it has helped reduce lag in any way.

 

[JayV]

Oh, except I think Derrik has 3 "L's" in his tag

Three L's?! That's a sure sign of madness.

(I'll fix it)

We sure had some good times during the beta, didn't we?

Jay, that's great You don't mind hosting it for a little while do you?

Nah, knock yourself out. I'll try to warn you if I clean up my server.

[JayV]

Here you go, Derrrik -- three L's:



EDIT:

I could've sworn the IGN indicated a spring release, but now I see both IGN and Ubi indicate a summer release. Was Spring just wishful thinking?

Thanks, Derrik. As an old-school metal fan, few things are better than the coveted headbanger smiley.

DAH nah na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na na na-na-NAH! Wheedly-wheedly wrooooow!

But giant wads of cash are always nice.

I downloaded the new update, and I'm very happy with the amount of games its finding (5 was the least I saw). I'll have to see over the next week to see if it helps any on the lag. Last night I had more 'laggy' games than usual, but that could be anything. I also noticed that I wasn't able to play, but once with a 'big' room of 10.

Hey!!! Jay V.,..I know it's off topic but, where do you think I got that "Painkilller" gamertag?????

"He's...The Painkillahhhhh" Link Removed Judas Priest w/Halford...aka "cool gay guy".

Thanks again for the Gamertag logo! I'm going to change to it once I get home and save it to my webpage.

Judas Priest w/Halford...aka "cool gay guy".

I'm still trying to forget his ill-fated "Trent Reznor" album. *shudders*

Ubi has announced the maps from the current game that will be added to the expansion disc.

They are:

Embassy
Battlefield(I think it's the smaller MP version)
Castle(night)
Wilderness
