The "What are you playing?" topic.

[Hooahguy]

I went back to playing Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter.
I havent played that game in three years. I didnt like it at first because it was too tactical and you died too easily, and I was used to COD-type games where tactics didnt really matter.
But now that Im slightly more mature, Im really appreciating GRAW. Its hard, but a very fun game. Lots of tactics involved (though I wish the cover system was better for the PC version), and Im enjoying firefights a lot. I mean, in other games firefights are quick and painless and are usually over with quickly, but here they are prolonged, and you need to use cover a lot to survive. Just recently in the 2nd mission, one firefight in the town square took my a full eight minutes to clear out the square since I had to move slowly and clear out all the enemy fighters using my team and flanking maneuvers.
The physics in the game feel real. When an enemy is killed, he doesnt fall with any ridiculous ragdoll animations (at least not that Ive seen so far). The graphics are nice, for a game that was made in 2007 (I think).

Anyhow, I must say, surprising a group of enemies and taking them down with a few well-placed shots before they can react is rare, but extremely satisfying when it happens.

A truly excellent modern tactical shooter.
