Read a few reviews of Ghost Recon 2 and have seen it in action a fair bit and it looks decent. Sure the AI looks dodgy but that didn't stop Rainbow Six 3 from being amazing fun.
Anyone else getting it or are you all still to**ing off to the tune of Halo 2?
The AI is a bit ropey though and dare I say it sometimes it can get tedious shooting at enemies that are too stupid to realise that running at me is not a good idea.
Can't wait to try it online though.

I just play the single player mode as I don't have LIVE, so thankfully I don't need to bother with all the nonsense!
;)
Also I don't feel you have as much control over your comrades like you do in Rainbow Six. If I tell them to hold position, then they encounter enemy fire, once they've finished wasting the bad guys they take it upon themselves to then regroup at my position. Why? They should dispense the enemies then stay where I bloody well put them. This has also led to them getting shot on account of me not even realising they were stood behind me. All I can say is it's a good job the enemy are lousy shots.
In honesty I'm regretting making the purchase, but I probably shouldn't be too hasty - it's the online play that counts.

It's hit and miss, Ghost Recon 2. The hits are big. It looks good, has great draw distance, it's fun, has no apparent gameplay glitches.. overall, it's quality. But the Presentation, Menu Fonts, bugs and inability to change the size of a map if you're playing with less people mean it's score drops down to an 8/10. Maybe a 7, if you're harsh. It's all about the LIVE play though, so if they patch it soon, and youcan over-look the bugs, you're well away!
I'd recommend it.
