*RWG*Jackal Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 I know your getting bombarded with questions about GR:AW, but I have one I think you can answer. Did GRIN have anything to say about the Ghost Recon/Coke Classic movement you got started? Did it have any effect on the direction they took the game? Im curious, because if this actualy had an impact on the games outcome my sigs will forever have the Ghost Recon Classic logo on them to remind me , and ohter gamers our voice does matter when its loud enough.

Rocky Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 They must have said something when he presented them with some coke complete with a glass to drink it out of LOL! I'd like to think the campaign has some positive effect, and I don't think it is wishful thinking to assume that either - hpefully WK can shed some light on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*RWG*Jackal Posted August 30, 2005 Author Share Posted August 30, 2005 Well it was definately the most mature thing Ive seen gamers do in a long time. Im sure it had some effect, IM just curious to what degree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostdog Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 didnt one of the computer screens in the Grin office have the GR Coke set as desktop pic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteKnight77 Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 didnt one of the computer screens in the Grin office have the GR Coke set as desktop pic? ← Yes, that Is Bo's monitor that has that wallpaper. I asked him about it and he admitted it was his. As I write this, he is reading this thread and from talking with him, he stated it was something they were trying to keep in mind while working on GRAW. He said he drank all of the Coke I brought him and had to give the glass to his brother Ulf who is the design director at GRIN. I am sure Ulf was a bit bummed that Bo drank it all. Maybe Bo will comment on this himself. I wonder what the Coke from States tasted like to him, I detected a bit of a difference between here and Germany myself, it seems to be a bit sweeter, but that is just me. Remember, I prefer Dr. Pepper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannik Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 I detected a bit of a difference between here and Germany myself, it seems to be a bit sweeter← Most soft drinks bottled in the US are sweetened with corn syrup, while regular sugar is used in many other countries. I know Pepsi is sugar sweetened in Canada, while corn syrup is used in the US. Germany is reknowned for food and beverage purity laws and rules. I wouldn't be surprised if real sugar was the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RatoN Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 (edited) Tic – tic – tic – tic WhiteKnight I wouldn’t want to stress you but the WORLD is waiting for your report, on what is a very important game for the first person shooter on the PC scene. Maybe the future of gaming all together along with high-end PC’s. (Resulting in possibly major jobs lost. There for economical disasters, causing depressions and suicides.) So, if you’re not ready take your time.. Edited September 5, 2005 by RatoN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteKnight77 Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 Actually, it is sitting in Rocky's inbox as I type this. All of my report save for 2 things were approved. I hope to be able to bring that news to fan sites for release in the future along with some other fan site (and not just GR.net) exclusive content. Now beg Rocky to get the first installment ready for y'all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
