Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 for the PS3 pushed back to August 31 - Image 1  


Ubisoft has announced that Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 for the PlayStation 3 has been delayed to August 31. This news came a day before Ubisoft's announcement in Paris of the video game offerings being set for the next few months.

While no reason was given for the delay, some people have conjectured that it could be because of the new features that Ubisoft added in the game. Being a GRAW fan, this news isn't very disheartening as long as the guys at Ubisoft release a game which lives up to the high standards that they have set in their previous games. So what's new in this iteration of GRAW 2?

Features of the GRAW 2 version for the PS3:
  • SIXAXIS controls for character movement
  • A whopping 14 New Maps
  • Two new adversarial maps which can handle up to 16 players
  • New weapons and character customization options
  • An optimizing re-spawn system
  • More Co-op Modes in the form of Evasion and Exfiltration, both modes have six missions each.
  • New female operatives
Fans of the game will have to wait a bit more to get their hands on the game. Hopefully, the wait will be worth it. Be sure to keep checking back here for more updates on Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2.

 » Because the poor PS3 sales worldwide

Well I would guess they are scared of the PS3s poor sales and that they wont shift many units as its a FPS and as 360 owners are always being told the Japanese dont like FPS games.

 » Surprise Surpise

Lets hope they don't delay R6V again. This BS of delaying because of fanbase is ridiculous. If they build a good game, it will sell on merits alone. Delaying the game only makes people dislike them, and makes them looks like idiots.

 » Delays are Ok (in the right context)

I think delaying the game in order to NOT make a *****ty port is a good thing. Sure we have to wait longer but then when the game comes out and its ACTUALLY GOOD, I'm sure you'll agree with me that it is worth it. I have my doubts though, since its Ubi and all...

 » Xbox 360 Vs. The True and Only Next-Gen Console PS3

Based on reports and statistics...
- PS3: 3.2 million consoles have been sold (during Nov. 2006 - Apr. 2007)
(0.53 million consoles per month)
- Wii: 7.3 m sold (Nov. 2006 - Apr. 2007)
(1.21 m per month)
- X360: 9.0 m sold (Nov. 2005 - Apr. 2007)
(0.5 m per month)

- Wiis are being sold with fastest rate...
Wii > PS3 > X360
- Wii consoles are only for kids (parents want to waste least amount of money for their br+ts and b+tches).
- Wiis are only for parties (when your friends come to your house).
- Wiis are for gifts to the close people.
- So many analysts at different organization said that either PS3 or X360 will eventually win this new-war in several years.
- Wii consoles don’t have longevity (Wii = GameCube II = fad).
Based on the above factors, let’s only talk about the worthy candidates: PS3 and X360.

PS3 consoles are sold with slightly faster selling-rate than X360’s. Let me just add more info here...
- X360: 7.5 m sold (Nov. 2005 - Nov. 2006)
(0.57 million consoles per month)
- X360: 1.5 m sold (Dec. 2006 – Apr. 2007)
(0.3 m per month)

PS3 (0.53 m per month) > X360 (0.3 m per month)
MS sold 0.57 million X360s per month because it was totally a monopoly (it’s immoral); gamers had no other choices (options) to choose from until Nov. 2006. So, who (what) can save this ever-falling X360 and Microsoft (from hell)? To be frank with you, I’m not sure. So, you stup+d Xbox fanboys just need to learn how to shut your mouth. I’m talking to you with actual data and flat facts based on factual information.

Remember this - every price tag (cost) below is in Canadian dollar. Also, every price is tax-inclusive.
- An X360 console (high end, 20GB): $570
- One game: $90
- Live Subscription Fee: $1,030 ($103 per year, 103 x 10 years = 1030)
You must waste $1,030 only for online usage. Will you play online games only for this year, and never play online-games from next year? That’s non-sense, idi+ts.
* Above are mandatory (vital, must have) accessories.

If you only calculate for one year online fee, you must have $763 to buy an X360 console (You must have $1,690 to buy an X360 console for 10 years).
If anyone had $763, he would buy a PS3 console instead of an X360.
One PS3 console (high end, 60GB) + above mandatory elements: $798

Ah, I almost forgot to mention 'the future-proof device' called Blu-ray drive. You earn (for free) at least $1,150 if you pay $798. Blu-ray drive is a free bonus. It’s that simple.
- Sony Blu-Ray Player: $1,370
- Samsung Blu-ray Player: $1,150
X360 console + power brick + HD output (HD-DVD add-on) are much bigger and much heavier than the PS3 console (a PS3 console includes everything).

X360 fanboys say most gamers buy new consoles only to play games, not to watch movies. I'll just say one thing to them since I don't want to waste too much time to educate these illogical, unreasonable, and insensible mor+ns. I have lived countless number of days so far, and I have never seen one single person (human being) who hates watching movies. As far as I can think of, all human creatures on the planet called Earth have a habit of watching movies regularly. X360 fanboys, how far (or low) are you willing to go to defend your company (Microsoft) and your lost console (X360)? X360 is already shut up; X360 is not a losing console; X360 is a lost console.

So many professional analysts said that X360 console's life-span is 5 years. It means the current X360 can’t handle the new games which will be released after 2009. Those analysts said that PS3 can handle all the future games until 2015. Then X360 fanboys must waste another $800 to buy a newly designed (sounds familiar? - cough – Elite - eh hem) X360 in 4 years from now on. Why do you want to support X360 console when X360 will last half the period of PS3?

Wii = last-gen console (GameCube II).
X360 = current-gen (suitable for 2005 - 2009).
PS3 = the future, the only next-gen (perfect for 2006 - 2015).

 » statments are ok...

but this has no proof...no links...no name of analyst...nothen...

anyway these may possiably have some truth to them, but when you add hurtful comments to what you say is truth, no body will belive you, others will shun and hate you, and only making this comment option seem useless...so if you repost these facts with proof and little to no hurtful comments....i am sure that most ppl will look to you as a more mature and responsible adult...we are all human...nobody is different...treat each other as human...not products

 » Too bad...

His figures are totally wrong...

$103 for live....sorry, i'm in canada and it's 49.99, roughly $57 after taxes, for a year of live...unless you buy it with a camera, then it's the same price...with a camera...

$90 a game....close, but try 69.99 for the most expensive titles, and usually 59.99....so 70-80 tops...

So should I beleive what you say....yeah right....2015 you say ? hahaha.....you are a funny child....I only want this gen console to last till 2009'ish....at which point MUCH MUCH better technology will be around, even better then cell, and it will be put into a NEW console...which will go till 2014, and then an even new one will be out....fool...

 » QJ why do you let that Bill Gates named person keep triple posting that same rubbish post?

Why is it that the idiots like the person above who calls himself Bill Gates writes things about the 360 when the news headline is about the a PS3 game being delayed ?, WTF does the idiot think he is going to prove and does he really think anyone belives or even bother to read that one sided crap, I really dont understand why QJ let him keep triple posting this
EXACTLY THE SAME POST all over this site like he has been doing for months now...

Someone should do a nonfactual version for the 360 just like his nonfactual PS3 rubbish above..
