Tom Clancy games :|

I have a seriously hard time getting into any of his name brand games. They just move too painfully slow for my liking. I enjoy FPS games that have an arcade feel to them and not so much sneaking around. I've tried a bunch of Tom Clancy games and have spent a lot of money on them thinking that I will like them because of all the hype. :/

The name "Ghost Recon" is probably a giveaway to the type of game ;)

I'm on the other side, I find GoW crap (looks great, hate the way it plays), and prefer GRAW2 above them all, R6:V kind of grew on me, be the cover system and health regeneration spoilt it's realism.

I've sped through GRAW2's achievements (currently on 975/1000 - in just over 5 days) but, I can see myself still playing GRAW2 in quite a few months time.

While I semi hear what you are saying, I have to disagree. And I only take my time to tell you this as I completely used to feel the exact same way. I was just a "traditional" FPS guy more than anything else, hated the whole squad based idea, but I really changed my mind thanks to the first GRAW on the 360.

While on the surface it may appear these type of games move slower, they are actually very fast paced, you just have to approach it in a more strategical way...

For example I just finished an amazing little part of the Single Player campaign where you have to go through a town, mainly on rooftops, then a cemetery, all during the night. Never-mind the fact that this sequence is one of the best graphically I have ever seen on the 360 to date. Visually it was just absolutely stunning in all regards, but it was also one of the more tense, yet just fun as hell, sequences I have played in awhile. Sure, It can be approached slowly if you really want, but I pretty much sped through it all, I just went through it fast making sure I took cover the entire time. In the cemetery itself it was tombstone to tombstone non stop. Amazingly fun to do.

So it is really just all a matter of how comfortable you get with the actual gameplay itself. Once you get familiar with everything, and it becomes second nature so to speak, it really becomes almost just as fast paced, if not as fast paced, as any other shooter.

Again, the only reason I share this all is I was exactly like you. Hated these type of games forever. Literally never gave them a shot at all. However now that I have, I am damn glad I did, because they are just a different take on things, and just as fun as the classic arcady type shooters I love so much.

I still have not made it past the 2nd level of R6:LV. If I do that then maybe I'll give this game a shot ;).

I kind of agree with you, but I did enjoy GRAW for quite a while. I think part of the reason I stopped playing was because people were getting way better than me (and I got annoyed with the lobby system). That being said, BF:MC has fulfilled my need for a more arcade-style FPS on the 360 since it first came out and I still play that more than most other games. Just don't expect much with single-player - it's truly underwhelming.

I never even started the Rainbox Six Vegas Campaign and I bought this game, I'm such a ######.

I set myself the task of getting 1000/1000 for R6:V before GRAW 2 came out - got to Elite 2 days beforehand.

And I already have 1000/1000 for GRAW 2...

So now I can just concentrate on enjoying the MP ;)

Fair play, I did a similar thing with GRAW, I got all 896pts from the game (because let's face it, those other 104pts from Leaderboard acheivements are for boosters only) and now i've set the same target for GRAW2, before i leave to go backpacking April 1st. Having endured all the achievements in GRAW though, it's annoying to see how EASY they are this time round! It looks like Ubisoft have gone from one extreme to another with that...
