No wonder I couldn't find any Ghost Recon 2 for pc

*warning: venting*

For the longest time I've been waiting for the arrival of Ghost Recon 2, when rumors began about Ghost Recon 3 many fans were afraid we would never see Ghost Recon 2. Unfortunately that's the case.

Monday 04.11.05 Cancellation of Ghost Recon 2 PC

This decision was not an easy one. We did not want to disappoint the loyal Ghost Recon fans, but we did not want to risk releasing a final product that did not meet their high expectations. With the launch of Ghost Recon 3 planned for Winter 2005, significant human resources were needed to ensure the quality of the future instalment of the series, thus potentially jeopardizing the quality of either Ghost Recon 2 PC or Ghost Recon 3. Taking into account their close release dates, and the fact that we felt the third opus would be a much more satisfying and evolved gaming experience, we were forced to conclude that it was in the interest of gamers for us to cancel the PC version of Ghost Recon 2. But Ghost Recon 3 on PC will hit shelves the fourth quarter of 2005, so the wait won’t be long, and will definitely be worth it.

See, I knew I should have bought an Xbox instead of a PC. Now with the consoles holding the largest part of the market, it's the PC owner who gets screwed over more and more. I'm rather sad, because there hasn't been a game after Ghost Recon that could make me believe I was in fact a soldier, and bullets were in fact quite deadly. I don't want bunnies jumping around, circle strafing me, I want a healthy dosis of realism and Ghost Recon did that for me.

*sigh*

And funny how they can say that pc owners don't have to wait much longer, but conveniently forget the wait that has been going on ever since the promised Ghost Recon 2. Idiots.

I'm really sad. Maybe I should just buy the CoD fun pack and pretend the enemies are all UBI fanatics and shoot them, shoot them all. Leave none alive!

yeah no kidding.

Now hopefuly Ghost Recon 3 won't be a placebo, but something really worth waiting for.

ah, yes, the old bunnie hoppers... how i remember them well. in MOH, in MOH Spearhead. in COD, and to some extent in DOD. i once got on a game of MOH and (sic, no kidding) took the personna of an Allied soldier, only to round a corner and come face to face with an entire legion of bunny-hopping German troopers!

really, must have been near thirty of them.

without firing a shot, i shook me head and meekly disconnected. i don't think i ever played the game again.

of course, playing on servers where everyone (except yourself) was camped out with a sniper rifle (again no joke---it happened frequently) wasn't much fun either. wink into existance...bam! re-birth---zap---instant death! come back one more time...boom!

or the servers where EVERYONE carried a bazooka or rocket launcher EXCEPT yourself. born take a step---shhhhhh---ka-blooie! and so on.

wow... so incrediably realistic, eh?

or how about America's Army where everyone has cases and cases of hand grenades and you can hardly take a step without everyone in the enemy encampment tossing grenades at every shadow and blowing you to bits every five seconds.

having been in real combat myself, i had NO idea that fighting real battles were conducted by legions of bunny hopping, bazooka toting, soldiers with endless supplies of grenades and supported by other legions of camping troopers with deadly accurate sniper rifles.

how did i manage to survive? go figure.

You didn't.


You've already achieved the next plane of your existance.


After this one, look forward to achieving the next plane...Lemon Custard.


Careful, though. One little slip and it's back to the Ubi Forum.
