I'm downloading the SP demo right now. :D

I would have to agree with you, they need to polish the multiplayer side of the game. Other than that, it seems they improved a lot over the first GRAW game.

How does it compare graphically to the 360 version? I have a 360 as well, yet never played GRAW or GRAW2. I want to figure out whether to play the series on the 360 or go with the PC.

I wouldnt choose by graphics....

but By gameplay....the games are completly different on each platform....the PC version is much more tactical, slow paced, and mathotical, and really requires you to use your squad and plan complex assaults and such.

The 360 version, is much more run-and-gun...but still a great game.

I have yet to try out the multiplayer. How is it? Can anyone tell me about it? You guys mentioned they need to polish up the MP, but what do you mean? I've been looking for a really nice team-based multiplayer experience (I've been playing Call of Duty 2 if it's any consulation...I'm sick of it).

Here is a screen of the game..I havent tweaked the graphics settings yet so..

Screen GRAW2 SP

GRAW1 needed alot of work..it was still a great SP experience and very tactical and challenging. Most hardcore fans of Ghost Recon hated it but I took the game for what it is..a fun tactical FPS. Dont judge a game just by its graphics....although GRAW2 looks even more amazing than the first the gameplay in the SP demo shows that they have improved the game and I hope they can optimize and fix alot of the problems of the first game. Try the demos and judge for yourself.

GRAW 2 MP demo was alot better than the first but I found MP in GRAW 2 boring me after an hour or so. Maybe when I get more maps in the full release I will be more shall I say unbored with the MP lol.

If you mean the cover style of vegas...no it's like all other fps game where you crouch or prone and peek around corners. I think the secondgrawSP will be as good as the R6V SP though.

GRAW2 Multi player is a huge improvement over the first and I like the fac that its more tactical and intense than other FPS games around now. Single player is real good too! Graphics are quite impressive, smooth gameplay and command map is really good. AI seems to have undergone a lot of improvements also.

Definitely recommend downloading the single player and multi player demo. For multi players, as always, having a clan or team with you provides the best fun in these type of tactical games :)

Have to agree, much better. I didnt like the first one, but just playing the demo(sp) it was much more optimized and gameplay was very enjoyable. Nice to look at to boot!

A game with an M14........I'm happy!

The game runs so smooth, and it isn't choppy like GRAW 1. The only thing I miss is how you are healed at checkpoints. But, at least I'm not taking damage because of AI glitches and what not marring the last game. An It doesn't have a 1-shot sniper rifle! And more than three weapons! This could in fact be the best GRAW, better than the 360! I haven't been this excited by a game since Oblivion!

Funk, you liked the M14 in the demo? I thought it was horrible. I do like the Mr. C though.

If a game cant run on the current mainstream gpu (although it's being overtaken by the 8800gts 320mb as the new mainstream gpu) then you're in trouble.

Here are my specs:

Intel C2D E6300 @ stock

4x512 PC6400 GSkill Extreme Ram

WD Caviar SATA 250GB HDD

SoundBlaster Live 24bit SC

Antec Truepower Trio 650w PSU.

XFX 7900gs XT @ 690/800

Playing the game at: 1280x1024 | High everything besides textures and physics @ medium for those 2 | Smooth Edges (AA enabled) | AF 8x

I get an average of 45 fps. Goes much higher due to tearing. Great optimization indeed.
