Looks very good and is very hard to play

I have been playing Ghost Recon games from the very begining. This incarnation looks very good but is a hard game to play. The old GR games had AI that picked you off with one shot, this one is more accurate in that you get hit and can still keep going.
The graphics are very pretty.
My only complaint is that the missions go on and on. You get to one mission objective and are given another and another. My friend and I are playing the missions on CO-OP mode and that is very fun.
Once in a while the game crashs to the desk top but it is a good time to hang it up for the night.
Missions have long load times also.

I got an XBOX 360 this Christmas and got this game on the strength of the earlier Ghost Recon games I had played on the PC version. To be fair I played this after just having just finished Call of Duty 4 (which is fantastic), but I have found this sim, Ghost Recon Advanced Warfare, nothing but frustration, and I have stopped half way through. After having gone through a scenario at least 30 times and still no closer to getting out of the situation I went to build my own great wall of China. I figured my time would be better spent and and it won't take as long to finish. Thank heavens I bought it used for half price. I would be slashing my wrists if I'd paid full price.

The graphics are good, the story line, as far as I got into it is okay, but the controls are difficult to manage and things happen far too fast for the clumsy controls layout to keep up with and the AI enemy is deadlier than the terminator.

Avoid avoid, avoid!!!

Good deal

They ruined a few small things that were popular in the original, but overall the game was fun in its own experience.

Some cons though: cannot pick up other guns, causes you to run out of ammo quickly with the sniper rifle; checkpoint saving only, which means you have to replay hard areas multiple times.

good points though:very challenging, ultra realistic.
if you like run and gun style games like old school MOHAA, then this is NOT your game.

A good game if you are playing coop

I think the reviews are a bit harsh actually. This game is quite good on the PC but I think you can only enjoy this game if you play it as a LAN Cooperative game.

The only real flaw in this game in my opinion is that the AI seems to pick on player 2, and if you are player 2 then expect yourself to be shot as soon as you poke your nose around the corner.

A great game though and it is better than the first one.

Pity you cant stick to walls on the PC like in Rainbow six vegas

Maps and Multiplay

On with the multiplayer experience:
I've spent quite a good chunk of playtime trying out all weapons, getting used to them, their recoil, RoF & their Mods. Honestly, all weapons are viable. While some may fit your play style better (I'm in love with the sniper and Scar-H+FG), they're all really good options. You can take down a sniper from a far distance with the "basic" rifle, you just better aim right and duck his shot. Grenades (G-Launcher mod too) and smokes also provides really good support for ambushes and tactical defenses.

While you can go on your own and try to tackle everything solo, I've really enjoyed tagging with other guys, rolling around with squads of 3 to 4 guys and steamrolling enemies while gaining more and more territory. I felt like playing as a team really made a big impact. I've seen squads of 5-6 guys ambushing my team's starting location and literally holding half of our team in the spawning location for quite a while with grenades, smokes, snipers and good cover. It provided them enough time to take over more than 3/4 of the map, with only 5-6 guys... it was amazing what time work can achieve is this game.

Maps:
At the moment, other than for the Co-Op mode, there's only 5 maps available. Ubi said they would implement more maps for multiplayer, which most likely will be implemented in the "mega-june patch" as it has been dubbed. Moving along...... right now there's a few maps that are really sweet, open for sniping, good coverage and sweet CQB zones. Then there's the other maps, like the warehouse. Everybody's camping, nobody wants to go grab the middle zones except the few crazy guys that runs up middle, throwing 'nades left and right and nuking with the nade launcher.

I'm really hoping the new maps from the mega patch will be a mix of everything instead of an open wide area filled with campers. If they don't manage to pull something sweet, well there will always be the map editor that's coming in the upcoming patch or the next. Well actually the map editor is available you just gotta tweak a bit to get to it.

PC lives up to hype

Okay, so I haven't had a lot of time playing this game, but from what I have played at a friend's house, this game seems very close in graphics and gameplay to that of the Xbox 360 version. I like the 360 version better in many ways. Mostly, however, I just have a hard time with the controls of PC games. Other than that though, I also like the OTS view and the First Person reticule views found in the 360 version also.

Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter for the PC is just that. It is a military (war) first person shooter with many "advanced" technologies involved. The single player campaign in this game is a lot of fun to play and you'll find yourself getting very involved in the game. The graphics are very good and when you see this game running smoothly, it's definitely a site to see. The environments in the missions are very big, so you will certainly spend a good amount of time playing through each one. I found this to be a very good thing especially with so many games being release these days that can be beat so quickly, under 7 hours. One thing I noticed, however, is that the AI is a bit, strange. Sometimes, the enemies seemed to be extremely hard and played like and actual person was controlling them. Yet other times they almost ran into the bullets. Overall, the game's AI was much better than worse, so it's not that big of a problem. In this game, you also control 3 other ghosts (soldiers) on your team and can give them many different commands. You can also just set them to pretty much think on their own, which again is slightly good and bad. They sometimes play great, and other times get themselves into trouble. My time with this game is mostly all positive and is definitely a buy for those out there capable of playing this game on their PC. There is also a multiplayer mode for those with this game with 5 maps available at this time. There are supposed to be more to come soon, something that fans of the game are definitely looking forward to.

Go for the graphics!

No savegames, just (sometimes) impossible checkpoints. Team AI just plain stupid at times. I find the game very frustrating. I was an avid Ghost Recon fan, until this version was released.

Not as good as the first ones, but not THAT bad

Most of the crux of other reviewers complaints re load times, inflexibility, checkpoint save system, AI relative stupdity etc. are true. The game in and of itself is not that bad though, it simply is very poor in comparison to the originals, which had few if any of these problems. I paid $[...] plus shipping with an Amazon partner - was it worth that? All day long...
