  1. Another demo weighing in at 1Gig+ I can remember the days when my 512K ADSL was fast and could download a 'normal' demo in no time at all...
  2. I'm pretty excited too, what info we have had so far sounds great. I suspect after 9 March we'll start to get more PC related info & screens and possibly some movies
  3. There will be more indoor fighting, that's for sure According to some previews anyway. Man I'm not thinking before posting today Of course there should be be more indoors stuff, there is the housienda map after all...
  4. Does this mean that there will be opening/closing doors in PC GR:AW2?
  5. I'm hoping it will go like this: Lockdown = No demo, Vegas = No demo GR:AW = Demo, GR:AW2 = Demo....
  6. Looks like it's not too far away now Release date should be 16 March - I'm looking forward to this, SH3 was great. Far out, there's a couple games worth investigating this March. ArmA, SH4, GR:AW2, STALKER perhaps... Anybody want to pay my bills for me in March so I can get into it?
  7. Oooh WytchDokta, how did you do this? Is it easy or something you can share? I really enjoy the DoW series, anything you can share would be much appreciated Thanks for your iunterest in my work. How did I do it you ask? I used the Force. The Force is strong in me you know: I've been able to do alot, just by jigging about the coding. I'm modding the game to be more like the tabletop war game rather than 'just another RTS'. For this reason, here's a few things I've done in accordance with the codexes from each respective race in the tabletop wargame: - Ork mobs start out with 10

  9. Ever had one of those things you were going to do but for one reason or another always got distracted and never got to it? Well, reading this forum was one of those things on my list. I'd always assumed it would be a general discussion of gamers putting their wish list forward for a hypothetical best shooter ever... I never thought for a second I'd get the teasing of a life time with the info that has been posted in this thread! The only advantage to me reading this forum in the last couple days rather than on 17 December 06 is that I haven't been hanging out for a hint or more news as long
  10. This is starting to sound mint. Just what I need to hear during a cruddy day at work. For SP I like the idea of giving orders through the helmet cam - it's kinda a wee bit like the soul switching in [GR] but more plausable in that you are using technology to get there rather than magically taking over an AI Team Mate. Sweet. I hope MP will be good too - I still reminisce with my mates about some of the cool games we had. And even now, on the increasingly rare occasions that we LAN, [GR] is still the most played game. I'm looking forward to some screens or vids very soon I know we
  11. Well, if you read the article, they pretty much explain that they are just building on OGRAW, not reinventing the game. So, GRAW2 for the 360 will look & play like OGRAW for the 360, and GRAW2 for the PC will look and play like OGRAW for the PC. That explains the (relatively) short development time, and is encouraging, if true! Yeah I know it will play and look like GRAW PC, but what I was saying was there are a number of things that the community wanted that weren't in GRAW that GRIN could possibly put in if UBI is willing to allow them to. And I think GRIN has a pretty good idea o
  12. I bought the game last night and install OK but when I go to play it asks for the play CD (which is in the drive already...). So I tried it with the other 3 disks - dunno why the DVD version wasn't on the shelf yet. This made no difference. Uninstalled, reinstalled no joy. Installed and patched to version 1.1, still no joy. So, although the screen shots I've seen look pretty I'll never know 'cause I'm taking it back to EB and swapping for Company of Heroes which comes out here next week (the demo was pretty cool so probably money better spent anyway).
  13. It sounds exactly like a 13 year old turd I met at a mates LAN session last year. I don't like him either.
  14. Mine's a keeper! I'm really enjoying SP at the moment and have managed to get it looking nice on my rig (Athlon 64 3200, 2gig RAM & 6600GT w/ 128Mb RAM) by tweaking the .xml file as per the Tweak Guide article. Just wish I could wack the resolution past 1024x768 and keep it looking as good... There are some things that bother me such as the team AI being brilliant one second and moronic the next, but if you keep a watchfull eye on them they do a great job. And I'm sure they'll be improved upon with feedback and patching. There have been times I've been awestruck by things they have
  15. PC GR:AW limited edition comes with 360 bonus material? That's lame. Hope we don't have to buy the 360 version for some behind the scenes PC footage My game came on DVD in one of the thick cases that can hold 6 DVD's. Yee ha. I don't have a digi camera so can't give you a photo but it looks pretty standard.
  16. "Ghost AI is now less likely to stare at the walls when taking cover" That's cool! It's pretty disappointing after you've deployed your team and you use the cross-com to suss out their field of fire only to find they are just looking into the corner. That said, when the shooting starts they pay attention and chip in...
  17. Here in Australia, EB Games give a full refund, no questions asked if you return a game that you aren't happy with. Tried it once at K-Mart and they laughed at me and sent me on my way.
  18. Thought I'd try my luck in EB games in Perth today. And there it was, sitting on the shelf GR:AW! Finally!! The guy at the counter said that they had just got it in today. There's been so much said in the last week about the game, I'm looking forward to making up my own mind...
  19. I just went to EB in Perth and in Cannington. Both said it should be out today but that it wasn't delivered. Beyond that they couldn't help. Except to ask if I wanted to leave a $10.00 deposit and they'll ring me when it's in. I'll just keep looking in Perth every lunch break until it comes....
  20. Yeah, picking up extra mags is cool, would have been perfect if there was an animation for it rather than just walking over the dropped weapon. Oh oh... I've just said something that wasn't praising the game to the fullest.... sorry. I love the demo and am itching for the full version this week!
  21. Did you notice if it bounces off the wall just right it will fly backwards and arm then blow up? ← I better go try that out!
  22. I dig the SCAR - L w/ combat sight, a worthy successor to the M4 perhaps? Just doing the demo level now with the MR-C w/ grenade launcher. Did you guys notice that when you use the grenade launcher and it impacts too close to you it doesn't arm. I've read somewhere that in real life the grenade has an inertia device and arms after 20 ft (or something). Very cool.
  23. Bang on Mate! I've said before: original GR is unique. That IT feeling is something we may never get again from any game ever! Listening to some of the comments about how GR:AW isn't GR etc... is a bit sad because GR:AW is a great game in it's own right and for my money, is as tactical as the original GR. Sure, you can't switch to different team members to control their actions, but you can't do that in real life as far as I know either. I like this game a lot. And it will only get better if the Devs & community supports it the way the original was supported (and still is!). I like a
  24. I'm going nuts here! I thought I'd be a smartie and take advantavge of the SLI capability of my motherboard... put a second graphics card in on Tuesday and the system kept crashing. I realised that my power supply is too small for 2 cards - handy bit of research done after buying the card, rather than before Now I've restored my PC to the original set up and it wont boot to windows (well, one time out of 10, at best) but boots to safe mode OK.... So rather than playing the demo tonite I'll be doing some open box surgery on my PC... MEDIC!!!
