well looks like the advent of ghost recon has pretty much killed rogue spear. i mean, its by no means dead but you can see the signs quite clearly.games have already dwindled from the numbers that were once being hosted. it seems that the battle league has lost the popularity it once had as well, with very few battles being recorded compared to previous seasons and with many of the most powerful clans hardly CBing at all. although rogue spear was lame, ghost recon looks like it is 4x as lame? oh well, ive seen raven shield on PC and it fuxxing pwns. so in other words?

Well, I don't think that RS will die to a sucky game like Ghost Recon, I think that the reason that popularity has decreased is because Ghost Recon is the new game, after a while, it will come down to a split between the two. This won't be like RS vs R6, because RS is far better than R6, where as Ghost Recon isn't as good as RS in the minds of many people including myself.

Well, I am hooked on the Raven Shield DEMO for PC...can't wait for the full game to come out!

Oh yeah...I predicted this would happen a while back once Ghost Recon finally came to the Mac - it is simply a superior game.

It is very fun to see that many RS guys talk about GR the same way as we,many R6 vets, talked about RS when it was released. Typhys post makes me cry:

"This won't be like RS vs R6, because RS is far better than R6"

Oh no I have to disagree wholeheartly because RS was never the same for me as R6 was(True R6 vets will probably agree). However I must say Ghost Recon is the game for me that Rogue Spear should have been. I love Ghost Recon: the single player missions are so great and I love the realism in it(played through the single player campaign in 2 days - now I am proning around in Desert Siege) .

Of course it isn't a R6 game at all, it's more a war simulation, but the point is it is as fun as R6.

Have a nice day,

Mauti

Ghost Recon has a different playing style than RS, which is quite obvious if you have played Ghost Recon yet.  The only reason I'm back playing on GR is due to the fact that GhR actually works through OS X and RS doesn't....

Hmm, now that I have heard Mauti thinks it is a good game, I may have to put down JK2 and play some GhR demo. As an old R6 player, I have been somewhat hesitant because I have heard a lot of people calling GhR a more advanced version of RS when as most R6 players like Mauti and myself thought RS paled in comparison to R6. I do find it funny how some people are sticking till their RS till they die like some of us clung to R6.

I was perhaps the most extreme example of that.  I played like 20 games of RS and then sold it.  But I too think GhR is an improvement over RS...don't know when I'll manage to pick it up...maybe I'll ask for it for Christmas or my birthday.  Maybe the whole thing skips generations...so the RS people will love RaSh and we will hate it.

Typhy... you're smoking something. RS is not CLOSE as good as R6 was. R6 fucking owned. Ahhh... I remember the days of playing with mauti and bondo... I still can't remember ace though... I remember bander... the jn's... ace..... where's ace... Ahh well...

What really sucks for me: my crappy computer can't run ghr, and i just tried with two different downloads on my moms laptop, it can't run it either (crashes whenever i try to click multiplayer... and single player is non-existant)... So I guess I won't be joining you ghr's for a while Sad

GhR is a totally different type of game then RS, and it is an improvement over RS, esp. with the new respawn thing. Except there are a few things wrong with it, like you can't boot in a game (at least i dont think you could), can't see the pings (same again), and other stuff. Also, people get a new comp, don't complain if you can't play ghr if you're under the limit. I think that the limit was lowered a bit from the original so other comps could play, but if you have like 233Mhz, or a crappy video card don't complain. Get new stuff (comp, vid card, etc.), or dont complain!

No, no, no, and no again. RS is better than R6 by far. Another reason that I don't expect RS to die, is GhR is much different from RS, than RS is from R6. I think it will be a pretty clean split between the two. I'd expect slightly more players on the Ghost Recon side of things.

Typhy, shush now...by official decree of Mauti in this thread, R6 is superior to RS Wink.

Dude... R6 pwnerizes RS... Heh. No doubt. No questions asked. Period. Exclamation mark. Mauti knows all dude... R6 takes so much more skill then RS. And RS is dead dude. Slowly dying, but dying none the less. It's exactly what happenned to R6 when RS came. RS was "different" and "gay"... Yet everyone left for it.

Flame, feel free to buy me a new computer.

Well, Rogue Spear might be dying...but in a couple years you can have fun with it again when R63:Raven Shield finally hits the Mac. Raven Shield is the be all, end all game...and I have only played the demo! It even has a favorite map (but enhanced) CSL. Well, I shouldn't be telling you this because you guys will have to wait a couple more years  Wink

Yeah, I've been checking out some of those screen shots of the new "Street", looks great. I just had some extremely enjoyable games on my Alaskan LAN server ( Deticated ), 3v3 with my brother and some other people. My opinion of Ghost Recon goes back on forth. I think it really depends on the map. About RS vs R6... Never mind, I think Mauti and Bondo are plotting to delete a few hundred posts if I say anything more on that.
