Just got this through from my PR team:

I have mixed feelings on this news, on one hand im dissapointed in the delay but on the other pleased they are taking the time to ensure the game is as good as it can be.

Make no mistake, the delay was not announced so that they could "perfect" the game. The delay was announced because the game isn't even close to being complete. They're a terribly inefficient squad of game devs.

I'm with ms-kleaneasy. Happy and sad about this. After some of the videos I have seen I would say overall they are doing the right thing.

  This is so stupid! Why is it so hard for this company to get things right? Sadly there reputation for making games is going down hill! This constant disappointment to there customers is growing old. I preordered this game, I am nowing taking this money and putting it to a more reliable publisher. Sadly, they have no concept of how bad there reputation is. Here is a hint: DON'T OFFER A LAUNCH DATE IF YOU CAN'T REACH YOUR GOAL!These guys need to get it right on Feb 06 or its over. Hey why don't you guys try do something right and release some new content for simmit strike. Maybe that way you can salvage some of your soon to be dead fan base. |

I've got mixed feelings too...am looking forward to it, I only hope that the extra time actually makes a difference to how the game plays when it is released (cough cough...can anyone say lockdown?)

I'm sure it will make a huge difference. We are talking about 4 months of work here. I'm sure the graphics and everything else will get a nice upgrade. This was a good choice IMO. I say good job to the devs for not rushing it out for launch. |

The fear I think a lot of people have is that Lockdown was delayed what, 6 months give or take, and they released a game that the vast majority of the fans of the RB6 series hate. So there is no guarantee that after a 3 month delay, we will get a game we like. As a matter of fact, this game is following EXACTLY in the mold of Lockdown. Well, close anyway. Lockdown (originally a March release) was first delayed a month, then till June/July, then finally released in September. Everyone said great, they are taking their time to get it right. Then it came out and nearly everyone hated it. So, with that history, expect a game you hate to arrive on store shelves in may.  ------------------------------- "I just blew your mind, didn't I?

I see what you're saying. Could be that they pulled people off of that rainbow 6 game to work on GRAW, ya never know.
I think the R6 games are terrible on xbox. Way to arcade imo. But that's besides the point....I guess we can just hope for the best with GRAW. |

Fix ALL the bugs, add buildings, give us tunnels and caves, fix the friends list, play test the game with real gamertag gamers, check 6 times for glitches, make the edges of cliffs where you can step off them and die finally, dump the invisible walls around depths and certain textures, make the bushes turn slightly transparent when you look through them ( like looking outside from inside your house, you don't focus on the screen or window blocking your view ) and most of all.....FIX THE **** AI, a silent sniper that fires once and then moves should not be bum rushed by the entire map of AI at once....or even at all.
and one more thing, BLOOD. BLOOD splatters, blood spills, blood trails that lead to the guy you wounded....... and the last thing....dump the women working at UBI & Redstorm that want this to be a tamed down version and run & gun....Women don't have the desire to push the envelope, this is a adult system paid for BY ADULTS that understand what WE WANT...... AND FINALLY.......don't insult our intelligence with months later patches, and they only fix what your willing to fix.... |

Yeah, Im disappointed I cant play it when I get a xbox 360 on xmas...but then the latest videos werent making it looks too good. Fix it, make good, make it a blockbuster. The wait Better be worth it. I dont mind the weight as long as its good. Looks like im gonna have to get Call of duty 2 now...

I preordered R6:Lockdown. Then I read that it was made into a more "Hollywood" type of shooter. I withdrew my preorder.
I frickin' read Tom Clancy Novels because they are Fiction with SUBSTANCE/Somewhat Accurate. They aren't like Die Hard movies, or Rambo. I played Ubi games cause of Red Storm's commitment to making simulations that are unmatched within the console gaming world. WTF are you doing something like this for now?? If Ubi/Red Storm adopted the R6:Lockdown stategy to developing this Ghost Recon Title they'll never get another penny of my $. I think writing Tom Clancy about this would be the best thing to do. I'm sure he won't want his name associated with it if it is more Hollywood than Sim. The game was Hollywood enough as it was, since it was like walking around in a Movie set instead of a real Jungle/Desert (i.e. not being able to shoot thru bushes, walk up hills, climb rocks, etc). |

Ms Kleaneasy - I've been around these forums for a while under a different poster name, we have shared many of the same opinion and once again it seems we will again.....
BUT !!, I'm on LIVE and I ask gamers and most if not ALL of the gamers consistently claim the RB Lockdown is horrible....yes Horrible. The game has very few fine points that are not outweighed by the failures.....to go back to the basics of what sold the original title so well. Gameplay, then depth of gameplay, then amount of gameplay, then you go after visuals....you don't make a pretty game and then make the game around the pretty graphics which is what most of the last two years of UBI/Redstorm has shown us. We have all been consistently let down with the RUN & GUN methods of gameplay put into the GR series, we asked for NO third person view...they gave it to us anyways.....we asked for blood...they minimized it......we asked to have huge maps with less choke points....we got the maps...but with choke points that the maps won't allow proper offense and defense....we asked for more unlockables....they made the unlockables as pretty pictures... We asked for glitch patches....they release a new game with even more.....we still asked for the last patch.....they release a map pack......we ask for the bugs fixed again...here comes summit strike.....we ask for GRAW to dump third person view.....and they wiped out the First person view altogether.... I realize we all have dreams of playing GR series like we used to...but we have a developer and a publisher that listens to sloppy players under 13 to get ideas...instead of the adults that are paying 400 for the ADULT 360 console and get less than a desirable result....then something is going to give.....and most likely it won't be our wallets if they don't listen quick. |

It sucks it's delayed, sorry about that but it's just the way it is. The game, as you've heard from X05, is playable, looking pretty good, and is generally stable. We could release this now and let you all play it but instead we'd prefer to make it better and try to make it a game you'd like. You've all spent months making your comments, giving us useful feedback on what you want in the game, and we're taking this on board and try to make it a game that you'd like to play.

I say WAY TO GO! I think you guys are doing the right thing for sure! I don't care if it takes 6 more months as long as it's good, it's worth the wait. On a side note could we get you guys to answer question every now and again on these boards? Thanks for stopping by and really...I'm glad you guys are taking more time. |

@ Redpaw i'll be honest i gave up playing it very early on due to the scale of problems, its just impossible to get a game with friends because they keep being dropped and if they do make it in they cant hear you or be heard
 So that being the case you will most likely have more info on the opinion of players than myself as i didnt stick with it lol I do like it though (if/when it works) although i have only played the PEC mode, not sure if the 'normal' mode is that different. But anyway yes im still of mixed feelings on this, feb next yr is a long while off yet so i guess i will enjoy what games we have now and the ones yet to come before then and see how things pan out. We might get what we want we might not but for now i dont think ive got the energy to stress over it |

Fine with me it will just allow me to spend time with Morrowwind Oblivion so I don't spend so much money when 360 first comes out.

Is the delay for GRAW just the X360 version or does it also applies for the Xbox, Ps2 and Gamecube version as well?

Can you explain exactly how you are going to do this? Give us a bit of info about what you are doing to change this game to make it better for OGR fans. It is general statements like this that serve no purpose without a clarification. What have you read that made you feel that you need to change, and what elements are you actively going to change. Razz, I'm not picking on you, but you guys need to communicate better. We have screamed and howled for a certain type of game. You build a totally different game, then at the last minute you decide to delay this totally different game. Then you make a very general statement about making this totally different game better for us, and that's it. What exactly is it that you are doing? What are you adding or subtracting? Give us more info. The people on this and the other GR boards are the lifeblood of Ubi's GR games. There has been some communication in the past, but not enough. If you do communicate with us, give us real tangible info, not part of the story. The fact that the game is delayed doesn't bother me, and I'm sure most of the others feel the same way. Lockdown was also delayed, and that game was terrible, so just delaying it isn't enough. Give us more info. If you are adding things that you think we want, how about kicking some ideas around here on the forums? We are a vital resource. How about using us? |
