The MP is miles head polish wise than the SP of this game.
I hope next time they give the SP experience to a competent studio.

nope, I'm in the same boat
we need to try to organize a GAF Guerrilla session, as I really want to try it out. I'm on 360 btw.
Oh. Oh well, thanks. Hope they get the servers sorted for everyone.

I'm up for some GhostGaf guerilla co-op going on. My GT is "IMD1 PK". I'll be on tomorrow randomly. If anyone has a specific time they playing tell me and I'll come on at that time.

having no mic for Guerrilla Mode is no problem for me
cool, same here, I don't have much planned for tomorrow so anytime works
DrBo are you gonna be around at all tomorrow, and if so what time is best?
...and we could use a 4th player if anyone else is interested
I'd be up for that, I'm Bailers77 on PSN. Unfortunately, I'm usually only on later at night US time. But anyone that's on playstation feel free to hit me up for a game.
Down whenever, what time? I'm PST.

unless I can round up a friend of mine as a 4th or someone else wants in, we will have to wait until at least late afternoon, early evening for RS4 to get done work to link up 4 people
you guys on 360 can "friend" the Gamertag I made up for the game if that's easier, then you can see when anyone is online or not and message them directly rather than relying on posting in here which can be more hit or miss

I am enjoying the MP just fine but the SP is a bad joke. I remember when the Tom Clancy games were mostly all high quality products, this gen they are just getting worse and worse. I know Ubi has all their eggs in the Ass Creed basket but it's like they just have no clue what to do with these franchises anymore. I have very little hope for the new Rainbow 6 game after this.
I'm enjoying the SP kind of.

Yes, you can clearly tell MP was the focus here people. Sadly like all military shooters these days.
Yeah, I enjoyed playing SP a lot, actually (I'm almost done with my second run on Elite).
I think they nailed the feeling of being a whole with your squad mates. Usually in squad based games there is this babysitting aspect that really destroys the feeling of being part of a group of professionals. Here you can focus on targets as your mates deal with positioning/covering autonomously.
Sure they cheat a bit to achieve this via the opti-camo trick (an excuse for letting your mates get in position easily no matter what) but the end result if that you basically feel like being *the* squad, instead of just one of its members.
Also the chatter is both valuable and entertaining (I actually chuckled at Donkey Kong reference in the stairs scene...)

The XP and point system are so stupid it's not even funny. The ridiculous amount of XP given for throwing sensors out and getting no kills yourself is enough of a joke, but then there are saboteur games that are won based on how many people that you killed were detected while being killed?
Just beyond dumb. Aside from constantly getting second place on the end game screen to an engineer with no kills, the game is fantastic. The scoring for certain game types and XP allocation system definitely need a bit of tweaking though.

Quite enjoying the single player thus far. Playing co-op with a friend. The times we are actually working in sync with each other makes for some amazing game play. When we are sloppy its a bit less fun.
Played GRAW but skipped number 2. First tactical shooter in quite some time for me, makes me want to play heaps more now lol. GRAW2 next on my list and might look into the splinter cell series.

Ehhh, GRAW and GRAW2 co-op modes are like that, but I think the PC versions are different. You're best bet is likely to just pick up GR2.
Don't be fooled. They were terrible, bare-bones games. I'd rather have taken the competent shooter than GRIN's half-assed tactical one.
There is a PC demo if you want to try it.
So, after playing the beta and being quite disappointed with how the game played, I rented the game on launch and I'm actually really enjoying it.
When playing on a good server, the MP feels really good compared to some of the tripe that has been released lately. Particularly surprised at how well they've implemented the whole 'invisibility' online for the sniper class.
Only thing that annoys me about the MP, besides the obvious bugs/freezing/sensor abuse, is the stun gun. The fact that they are then free to data hack you and then finish you off just rubs salt in the wounds.

They really need to nerf the drone somehow, its pretty hard to take down and can be almost abused. Need to make it easier to take damage or make it have a cool down between uses.

Yeah, I mentioned this a while ago. You get EMP/Smoke/HEDP grenade launcher secondary for finishing campaign. IMO it shouldn't be in at all. I was shitting on teams last night with it simply by shooting it at the OBJ.
It's not hard to take down at all. Shoot it and it's down in 2-3 shots.
Personally I only use mine when I'm out of sensors and I stick it near where I am to watch my blind spot. Guys who sit in the back and fly their drone around exclusively aren't helping the team at all, especially if the other team has the brains to shoot it.
Yeah they nerfed the grenades a solid amount to where they aren't bs anymore, but the launchers are dumb all around. I don't see any reason to use anything else in the 2nd slot over them either...

you can add me, my GT is 'The Visualizer'
stop running around alone and you wont get hacked
im down whenever
how do I become a cool teammate?
and yeah I'm down for some Guerrilla now if anyone is around or tonight works too at that time
no, I think they added part of that beach section from the demo onto the end of the 3rd mission (Nigeria)
I think you need the UPlay code to play online, don't think you can get around this, just like most other games that require online passes
how do I become a cool teammate?
Cool idea. Lets get 4 people together tonight and the person with the highest score at the end will get the code.
Thoughts? My tag is DX. be on about 10-10:30 PM central. If you message me let me know you are from GAF please.
Sounds like I'm going rambo

Enjoying MP a lot; yet to touch the SP and I don't know if I will, to be honest. The game can definitely push my rage-buttons - mostly in very intimate CQB, where movement speed outruns the aiming speed something shocking and humiliating deaths are had. I may have to tinker with some settings, methinks.
Does anyone know the ETA of the iOS app?

I'm reading some criticisms on the single player. Anything in particular wrong with it? Are people comparing it to GR 1 & 2 & disappointed. I assume it's somewhat similar to GRAW.

It's simply "ok" and it's better than the others story wise, but it's pretty damned unpolished.
