iainl Posted July 24, 2003 Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 Quite apart from being a bit of a mouthful, this looks interesting. For some bizarre reason, its only ?14.99 at play.com right now. It is a standalone game that doesn't need the first one, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orpheus Posted July 24, 2003 Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 You are correct, it is a standalone. It's only the equvilent new material of the PC expansion pack, but it does support live and has a several of the original maps in it too for online play. I believe it will be priced at $20 or so here in the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iainl Posted July 24, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 Ah. Play.com say its supposed to be ?40 here in the UK, which did suggest standalone to me too, I just thought ?15 was far too little for that. Since I don't have the original Ghost Recon, but fancied a CSalike that I can play with the headset, this looks a bargain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orpheus Posted July 24, 2003 Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 Looks like it's $40 here, at least from one of the big game stores. My bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calvin Posted July 24, 2003 Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 $40 is a bit much at the moment. $30? Possibly Under $25 I'd probably buy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Monkey Posted July 24, 2003 Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 I'm in the same boat as Ca-- I mean Nightwing. Gotta be $30 or under before I consider it with so many hot FPS's inbound. Almost gave away your secret identity there. -j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogbert Posted July 24, 2003 Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 It's supposed to be $30 over here in the US - it was originally listed at $40, but was announced as being $30 at E3... If that's changed, I'll be pissed. Was tempted at $30, but not a chance at $40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Monkey Posted July 24, 2003 Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 All trade-in'able games were traded in for KOTOR. Rainbow6, XVIII and CS have me stoked for FPS's, so I dunno. The thing is, the demo on last month's OXM got me fired up for GRIT. Is the number really at three, or are more people interested? Man, we've got ESPN Football coming up, too. -j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelley Posted July 24, 2003 Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 I'm out on GRIT. After KOTOR I have an apointment in Silent Hill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamsappel Posted July 24, 2003 Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 Yeah, I'll go for GRIT if it's $29.99. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Scorpio Posted July 24, 2003 Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 For $30 - maybe. But with Counter Strike and SOCOM 2 in the pipeline, I don't know how long Ghost Recon will stay fresh. And thanks for the heads up on Silent Hill 3 Kelley - I didn't realize it was only 2 weeks away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romier S Posted July 24, 2003 Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 And thanks for the heads up on Silent Hill 3 Kelley - I didn't realize it was only 2 weeks away. Busting through KOTOR myself rigth now because one SH3 is released....thats an appoinrment I've been waiting to attend for almost a year now.

Hank Scorpio Posted July 24, 2003 Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 Silent Hill 2 was a terrific game. I had never played the first - but was totally engrossed with part 2. It was one of the few games that really did scare me while I was playing. And number 3 looks to be even more warped. I'm with you - 2 weeks should be enough time to get through KOTOR.

adamsappel Posted July 24, 2003 Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 Bryan, will you have enough points to get the bike? I think this will probably be a private joke. I don't think they've advertised on the backs of comic books for probably twenty years now. D'oh! I see a few folks got the joke. Good lord we're a bunch of nerds.

Mark E Posted July 24, 2003 Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 I don't think they've advertised on the backs of comic books for probably twenty years now. Please, I would hope everybody currently posting in this forum read comics from twenty years ago . Even I remember those crappy subscription pledge things and I would've been like five at the time .

MrJames Posted August 7, 2003 Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 Yes, the AI has been greatly improved. There are also a lot more weapons to choose from including better sniper rifles. The friends list I'm sad to say hasn't been touched. You still have no idea what game other people are playing. Playing with Dvdguru we encountered some lock ups and dissconnects. So far I've only played Co-op trying to learn the maps so I can't comment on spawn camping. We did discover a very nice home theater system in a house we came across. It had a Pioneer widescreen set (it looked the same as mine) as well as a Pioneer Elite receiver and dvd player with a 5.1 setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
