:Modern combat vests with ceramic SAPI (Small Arms Protective Insert) plates and soft kevlar inserts are supposed to stop 7,62x39 or even 7,62x54R but they are more like to lower the possibility of life threatening wound/protecting you from getting killed than making you invincible Terminator-like war machine from which bullets just bounce off. Usually, when you are hit you don't rush back into combat (even if the SAPI have stopped the bullet) ... of course when the situation requires you are still able to participate in combat or fight back but it is not like in CoD games (or any other similar FPS with "self healing system") - whoa I was hit into my vest ... lets wait five seconds in cover and we're good to go.

Fictional Weaponry
Fictional Assault Rifle
The bullpup assault rifle has an in-built shotgun under the barrel, and the overall design has a faint resemblace with FN F2000. It is used by Ghost Recon operatives.
Fictional Assault Rifle #2
Seems to be based on the OTs-14 Groza with a AR-15 carry handle. Used by the Ultranationalists and their leader Ivan Illitch Kerenski.
Fictional Assault Rifle #3
Seems to be a hybrid of XM8/G36 and AN-94, firing 7.62x39mm.
- The body almost looks like a modern M14
Fictional Grenade Launcher
It used by Russian Forces to fire tear gas shells at the Ultranationalist mob. Seems to have been inspired by the Brügger & Thomet GL-06.
Backpack Rocket Launcher
Plot and set-up of this game?
Is Scott Mitchell, the player character from Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter, making a comeback in this game? Will there be a different version for the PC players this time too, as was the case for GRAW2? I like those kinds of "enhanced PC ports" that take full advantage of mouse and keyboard and possibly better hardware as well.--Mazryonh 17:59, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
Not looking good so far...
It's not the Sci-Fi..ness that gets to me, I mean it bothers me but I could get past it. They could be Jedis and I might still like this(might, but probably not), but what I can't get past is that these designs are just UGLY! DX Leadback
I've been a big fan of Ghost Recon ever since I played the original back in the day (and even liked both Advanced Warfighters, despite the largely mixed reviews they got), but this one is beginning to look too much like Halo for my comfort. Fictional weapons, optic camouflage, backpack-mounted rocket pods? What's next, Master Chief armored suits? Spartan198 06:23, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
Well it's in the discussion section, so it's not too much of a problem Excalibur01 06:45, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
Good point. Why does the "future" always involve wildldy complex electronics, invisibiility, and stupid-looking weapons? Maybee the developers started thinking the whole "Furture warrior" project and thought it might actualy work. In GRAW2, I usualy go for the SCAR-L or HK416, with MP5SD secondary and the Mk46 for my support. I don't want or need super-weapons like the melting Xm8 and the dosn't-actualy-exist MR-C. I just hope there's a mission with the enemy sets of an EMP, leaving you with watever dosn't use electricity. Seriously, optic camo is just dumb. --Mandolin 13:50, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
- I think optic camo is the way of the future when it comes to camo. You are invisible to the enemy. Literally invisible. Don't you think that is much more advantageous than just blending in with camo colors? Excalibur01
Another thing - the game is set in "near future" in late 2020's or early 2030's but in my opinion presented technologies are just too modern. Optical camouflage? Miniature "box-of--chocolate-chip-cookies-sized" rocket launchers capable of taking down a MBT in one shot? Oh, come on. Those things are not even in prototype stage yet. And I strongly doubt they would be in 10-15 years. As someone said, this looks much more like HALO than hard-core military FPS. Probably the best was the first "trilogy" - original Ghost Recon + Desert Siege and Island Thunder expansion packs. Plot line was not so shitty (well yeah, we still got the ultranationalists in Russia but ethnical cleansing in Sudan or colapse of Cuban regime were in my opinion quite realistic), you did not have any super cool hi-tech stuff (like AI driven battle robots, predator-like camouflage or laser guided beer can openers) and one 7,62x39mm round from an AK was capable of killing or incapacitating you. It was Advanced Warfighter, which started this "modern technologies" trend. The game was also set in "near future" (in 2014 to be precise) but it was much more "believable". You know, RC controlled drones/recon UAVs - why not? Military uses UAVs extensively even on todays battlefields and there are plans for further development. And speaking about weapons, "Ghost" were still using HK-416s, SCARs, MP-5s, MK-46s and other good "old fashioned" weapons (ok, there were few oversights like MR-C) rather than bullpup carabines firing "uranium" 5,56 rounds. W-T-F is that? What's next - Ghost Recon going Star Wars style aka Attack of mutant Jedi Clones firing lightsabers from their rocket lauchers? My point is - Modern technologies? Fine, but at least make it believable. Is there anyone else who would like to see e.g. 6,5x39 or 6,8x43 based weapons and other non-sci-fi stuff rather than railguns, lasers and plasma carbines? [Ragnar]
- Unfortunately, highly realistic FPS games like SWAT 4 are at best a niche market now, and less realistic "futuristic" stuff is wildly popular thanks to the success of shooter series like Halo and Gears of War. Nobody likes getting killed in one shot in a game.
- That said, I did like GRAW2 (though not as much as SWAT 4), and I did like using the XM8 and HK416, as well as the MR-C (HK was working on getting the G11 to work until the Berlin Wall fell, and the other two would be in more general use if it weren't for bureaucratic inertia). Besides, I was thinking that modern military body armour was supposed to stop several 7.62x39mm rounds now.--Mazryonh 16:07, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
