Man, I sure hope so...

Aspyr announces Jedi Knight II ?but not Ghost Recon...

see last issue of Macaddict: http://www.macaddict.com/

hmmm..

well, we all know it's gonna happen eventually...

You know guys,rs is actually better.I have GR and it gets old.

You mean there is a game that is worse than RS? ?I didn't think that was possible.  It looks like Aspyr is doing the port which is awesome news because they don't suck like MacPlay.  Also, what do you think the chances that the new Counterstrike game will actually make it to Mac.  Sierra fucked Mac gamers up the ass by not releasing either HL or CS originally, maybe all can finally be forgiven.  After all, they claim CS is the single most popular online game, wouldn't it make sense to open it up to even more gamers?

Keep those fingers crossed Bondo, maybe some day CS will make its way through here... I've played the game several times with buddies from school, and by my own experience I can definitely say it's the best tactical-shooter ever...

Anyhow, any specific requirements for Ghost Recon? I sure hope the ol' computer can cope...

-Beef.

Goku - Ihave GR from the release date and it not getting old - its much better the RS ( RS is getting old for sure )
GR has great grafics, great tactical options and nooo lag - i can play it on my 56k Modem without any delay. It has biiig maps : woods, cities, castle and so on over any map over 15.000 square miles. SO dont say GR worse then RS ( RS is a pieace of shit in comparison to GR )

15.000 square mile maps? Oh dear... and you telling me they don't lag?

You were right about one thing though... graphics are a lot better, that's for sure.

Anyhow, I'd like to return to my earlier and still not answered to question, namely : are there any specific requirements for Ghost Recon? Is a fast computer required? Any specific graphics card? RAM maybe?

Keep in touch,
-Beef.

Beef the maps really dont lag!! The greatness of the maps is no factor for LAG caused by netcode. The Netcode of GR has been modified for 24k modems for best performans. AND i have much less lag with my 56k and playing GR then playing anyother game on NET for Exaple : RS, R6, Mohaa or RtCW.
Esp. RtCW is really horrible with 56k timeout are longer then the game play, thats the reason why i dont play it on the net.
GR is one of the best shooters ever made.

I am sorry guys, but I must say, Ghost Recon owns RS. There is by far more strategy involved, less camping, and less lag. If it does come to the mac, I will be happy to play against you guys.

As for beefy/weasel: A fast machine is not required, but a decent graphics card is. Also, CS blows ass compared to Ghost Recon.

Well, still not a reason not to get CS on the Mac.  Also, how similar is CS to the UT mod Strike Force, watching some footage of it, SF was the first thing that came to mind.

Well, I've played GR on the XBOX at E3 and it was pretty tight. ?And if the fps are consistent the way they were on the XBOX, that's just gonna make this game another all time great game for the mac ;)
?Raven-Shield still is one of my favorite new Tom Clancy games 8)

Well, seeing rapid on the topic of GhostRecon, reminds me of that april fools joke he did. That was funny, no offense to rapid but it was funnier when kevill fell for it and banned rapid.

Well, im glad to hear it's coming to the mac, AND don't pirate this game, we need to show our support, especally this time...

And I'm sure your all thrilled to know that in 2 days Myst will be back on GR...atleast I am.

Anyone know when GhostRecon is coming?

Yours truely,
                              Mysterio

GhostRecon is not as good as RogueSpear. The missions have no point, at all. And the story line, wait, what story line?

Ass, no camping you say. wtf am i to do when i'm all drunk????
And myst, i won't deny that i've "borrowed" some games, but the games i do pay for are the best Ut, q3, RS, moh, wolf.
I'm sure this will be a great game, so i'll preorder it, esecialy if aspyer does it. cause macplay can suck a bowling ball through a garden hose.

At least we will have X suport for GR no doubt

Sigma,

I  dont remeber the storyline of RS or r6, can u explain it to me ;D

GR has more storyline then any R6 games had before - u have to kick the russions out of eastern Europe, thats the storyline, and did a tactic shooter ever need storyline i dont think so ( not the tactic shooter ) action shooter need it b/c there is no ohter motivation.

By the way, did u ever see any  MP Shooter with storyline - expects the Operation Flashpoint  <---- also not a tactic shooter.

So dont say that GR is worse then RS b/c it has no storyline, while RS never had anything that u could even tell a strory.

Visit www.ofpeditingcenter.com or www.flashpoint1985.com for more info. on the game. These links will give you access to the dedicated PC websites, but give you enough feedback to create an idea of the game for Mac as well.

The game was released a while ago for Windows? and hope it will soon do the same for MacOS?. I'd have to write down a whole novel if I was asked to talk about the game, but since no one's askin'... it ain't worth it. :-)

Regards,
-Beefy, experiencing  crashdisk...

Umm, no. You are helping the Russians fight against a private army... :-\ I really thought that GR was a let down, after all I heard about it. Maybe you guys will like it better. But, I think it has dedicated server support and 32 players in a server :)

Hey beefy why did you type "Windows?" and "MacOS?"??? omfg, i smell FBI all over this, someone delete this thread. BAH we are all going to jail. ::) ::)
jeb
ps. sorry, i haven't had a beer in a week

The worse part about Tom Clancy's games atleast for me is that he has a fetish with Russians.I am tired of shooting my fellow country men. How bout going against some Swiss terrorists

Who asked you, Jeb? Does it really matter if I put trademarks? Go whine someplace else. Bah...

-Beef.

Cossak,

I can't figure that out... since his books have everyone from the Iraq to the IRA and the Chineese.

Bah.. blame the guys at Red Storm and UBisoft.

I'll try to divert the thread back to the title by asking...
Does Ghost recon use the same gay file system as RS and R6. As in, does it use 14,000files that are a bitch to install? or could it be more like Q3 and use 20 or so files in the package

Or better yet, use a file system like Dungeon Siege, where (from what I understand) everything is contained within one big file called a TANK. (Gas Powered Games, TANK, get it? Hehe.)

Well, in relation to nothing in particular, last night I went to Champions on Ice at the local arena and afterword went around to where they were signing autographs and the Russian skaters were as friendly as can be, I got Irina Slutskaya, Alexei Yagudin, and Evgeni Plushenko's autographs (along with the big three female US skaters and two more).  So to tie it in, Yes, Tom Clancy needs to lay off the Russians, lets just do the politically correct thing and kill Muslims.

My nomination for worst female name: Irina Slutskaya.

My nomination for funniest female name: Irina Slutskaya.

The t is very soft/silent so stop giggling.

    It's not silent in my head, so I'll giggle all I damn well please! Mwa ha ha ha ha! (see my signature pic for accompanying visual)

Well, my PC version has 7,852 in the Ghost Recon file. Don't know what the Mac version will look like, though.

Why was it necessary to post a reply then, Sigma?

-Beefy, just curious ;-).

i think i read this game doesn't have HB sensors. and what about c4

Ghost Recon is based off of the Army's Land Warrior system...

There is a map, but it isnt placed like the one in RS...you have to press another key to access it.

There are "sensors" but they are packaged with the weaker guns like the MP5 and the MP5-SD. Contrary to RS, these guns suck major nut unless the host mods them.

No C4 in the main options, but there is C4 in the Gunslinger 4 realism mod (GRM4) and the Navy SEALs 2.0 mod. But the alternative to C4 in the main game is Claymore mines...those suckers pack a punch. Also, grenade launchers are just about standard with the rifleman's weapons, and the demo expert carries Anti-Tank rockets.

Any other questions?

sounds like we will have to learn a new way of playing, or camping forthat matter

what are we looking at for sniper equipment  sin? hopefully come good camo atleast

Well... when all else fails... send an e-mail!  So far, the only company that hasn't ever answered is Ubisoft.... bastards.

Anyway, I wrote Aspyr a note asking them about both Ghost Recon and RS3... wondering about their plans especially since MacSoft already admitted that they are out of the picture....

this is the response I got:


Hi Michael,

Unfortunately we really are not at liberty to talk about any rumor until any
official announcement is made if at all.  If you are interested in the
direction we are going project-wise, I suggest keeping an eye out on our
website and monthly newsletter and looking for us at MWNY.



What does this mean...?  I'll bet it's true, based upon the fact that they didn't just say no.  They also mentioned MWNY, which was one thought of when they'd make this sort of announcement.

It's just my feelings, I could be reading too much into a standard "we don't kiss and tell" letter.

    That sounds like a veiled affirmative. If they weren't doing anything with those licenses, they'd more likely say that they didn't own those licenses, or that they had no plans to pursue those licenses in the near future, or something like that. "I can neither confirm nor deny that" in contract-speak usually means "Yeah, it's true, but I'm not at liberty to say that." At least in my experience.

translation

We're so happy we got the licenses that we pissed our pants!  we are going to do such a better job than macsoft! we cant wait till mwny to show all the cool stuff either


atleast that's my guess

camo changes according to the map, not the host's choice...this leads to a problem as there are a high rate of TK's if the IFF is turned off. But if IFF is turned on, friendlies are lit up by blue test with their name.

Sniper equipment is da bomb. Silenced, single shot with power, etc. You can sit in the corner of a map, lie down ont he floor, and pick off targets...especially in "Siege" and "Hamburger Hill" modes. Knowing you guys from gameranger, you will love those two mods as it deals with defending and attacking bases.

is "hamburger hill" a answer to the ICT's problem of camping? also, can you crawl and lay down???
and as far as system specs, i'm sure i can handle it on my g4 tower. but i'm getting a laptop for college, and i'd like to have GR run on it,  i'm not sure if i should get a ibook or a tibook? any recomendations?

    Hell, if you can afford it, go with the tiBook on general principles. It'll be useful (that is, it'll run new games) for a lot longer than the iBook. More power is always worth it, if you can afford it. : )

GET A TIBOOK! The TiBook freaking rules! I got the original (still with the shit 16 MB Rage card) and I wouldn't trade it for anything cept a new TiBook. You get a nice G4 processor which will be plenty powerful and be out of date long after the video card, the bus, or anything else. Not to mention is looks hella sweet and you get a badass monitor. In short, TiBook rules, iBook drools.

Well, you can crawl and you can lay down...and still move around. Moving while laying down is a bitch but it is doable. As for hamburger hill being your answer for camping, the answer is hell no. Grenade launcher toting newbies will blow your ass to pieces...also depending on how you set your server, there are respawns.

well, my parents are buying me a laptop for college, its also a graduation pres, so i think can squeeze a tibook out of them.
oh, and ass. this game has respawns, like mohaa?
or is it a diff game option. basicaly, its it completly different than RS?

If it will be your only computer at school, get the TiPowerbook.  If you'll still have the tower, get the iBook.  I use the iBook, not the Ti, and I can afford the Ti.  I do it because the iBook is truely portable.. I don't want my laptop to not fit on the food tray on the plane.  Seriously though... the iBooks run great, and when I buy a laptop, I want it small.  But if it were my only computer, I'd have the Ti, because there are things the my iBook can't do in the gaming arena (which is the only place I go that it doesn't do just fine).  I do use the iBook for work all the time though.

I guess if you have a tower and want to save some money, an iBook may be a better choice. However, if it's your only computer, the TiBook is far and way your best choice. It truly is a desktop replacement with it's power. As for portability, while it may be a slight step behind the iBook (the most portable laptop in the world), it is still awesome. It's lightweight, very thin, and it's footprint is not much bigger than the iBooks. I have heard from some people it is not as durable as the iBook, but I treat my computer with kid gloves cuz I love it so much, and I have never had any problems. BTW GRIFT, it fits perfectly fine on the airplane tray. Just don't expect to have anything else on there.

PS - If a laptop is your only computer, I would HIGHLY recommend getting a keyboard and mouse to hook up to it. While the TiBook mousepad and the built in keyboard are both the best I have seen on a laptop, no laptop can compare to a real keyboard or mouse.

yeah, i'm have a extra keyboard, and a mouse from my tower that i replaced. But yes, it would be nice to cart my Laptop around to friends houses and lan them, like me and bigpat do every couple weeks

well, grift was right.

it's coming to the mac. ?announced today at mwny.

Actually, a Tibook fits nicely on a Food tray on the plane, I took mine there, Great machine, Nice 800mhz processor, 15.2' monitor, I've used an iBook. They're nice, if you  have a tower too, then an iBook would work, however, if it's your only one, then you've gotta have the tig4
