Definitely next gen graphics, though.

Time Crisis? The game started out as a multi-squad-based tactical FPS; a slow-paced, tense game that was Live enabled. GR:Island Thunder was more of the same. With GR2 Ubi limited the play to one squad, changed the viewpoint, gave it a cool "near-future" theme, picked up the pace of the action considerably, and made it good looking -- huge, beautiful multiplayer maps; too bad it was kind of buggy over Live (although it may since have been patched).

I think he was talking about how you take cover and what not, in which case I think a comparison to Killswitch is much more appropriate, as it is with Gears of War as well. They both seem to have some Killswitch-eque elements as far as taking cover, which is actually pretty cool since I thought it was a very fun, but not very well executed idea in Killswitch.

This is a military "simulation" game, meaning, among other things, that one shot usually means you're dead. I never played Killswitch, but I wasn't under the impression that it was squad-based. The same goes for the brief clips I've seen of Gears of War. GR3 will almost certainly continue the squad-based, tactical play for which the franchise is known. Also expect a robust Live component (and hope that it is bug-free).

I'll be getting this. Looks like they finally ironed out shit I dont like about the last few games. Plus its all about the online.

I agree, I really like Clancey games and hopefully they work out more of the bugs this next Gen. Bugs are the primary reason I traded in GR2 as fast as I did, 2nd reason was the spawn camping matches. This game looks really good.

What didn't you like about the last games that you can already see you like about this one just from the footage?

I would like to know this too. I never played GR2, but I would love to know what you can tell that they already changed that makes it improved.

I also just watched this video again, and I am just as impressed the second time. When that building explodes and the volumetric smoke, dust, and rocks just go everywhere, it is just too sexy.

from the videos I seen it looks like your aiming is better now. As in you dont have to wait so damn long to get good shots. The framerate looks nice and smooth...unlike the last games. Hit detection appears much improved..unlike shooting a guy 80 times and nothing happens. Though that was usually due to having to stop and wait for good shots.
