i will get my copy today and domination mode is definitely better if you have more people. the mode is built for having large teams and once we all get our games, you will see more people online
they also said that the MP patch is coming out next month and it will add a map editor, new COOP missions, and deathmatch modes. so, i expect this game to pick up some steam in the next month and i'm really looking forward to it.
No dedicated servers
Nothing other than DOM mode, which sounds like it runs poorly
= no purchase until the MP patch comes out in June, if it comes out, I don't trust, I verify then trust.
Liked the DEMO Grin, now come on, deliever to the MP community!

Hello there my friend... greetings to him too... hopefully we will be matching again
after all the MP deal gets sorted out Well, time will tell Bravo, so far, I'm not a believer just yet, after all this is UBI and if BO and his team were really paying attention to the feed back here and at gr.com, would the MP even be an issue right now. I think not.
Come on Grin you're making me frown...don't be clowns, turn that MP action upside down, or your game will never sell in MP town!

Bravo, What is up my brother, hope you and your Bro are well...Hansolo sends his best

Does not take long to buy guns, I do not think Domination is fun, maybe sum type of control point like bf2 would be ok.
As said before more game modes are needed.
IMO Domination Mode blows...
It sounded like that to me too. I think BO knew that and hence he didn't put it in the demo. Time will tell of course, but for us hardcore MP fans, this appears to be a major let down...that is until the new MP modes come out...if in fact they do come out...
Thanks for the reply 101.
Semper Fi!

I'm wondering what the DOM mode is truly like to play. Interested in hearing feedback...How many players do you think need by in a game to make it interesting and should the server be set to Respawn, how long are the average rounds... how long does it take to "buy weapons" with the tactical points...
Thanks.

I was sorry to see no MP feature for the demo. Cancel the Pre-order, only option until I see what Grin/Ubi does for the MP gamer.
I trust Grin to the extent Good Ol' Ronnie did "Trust but Verify"
Bravo CV is right...hopefully...it remains to be seen if Grin meets the MP expectations...
But the fact MP Dom mode was not in the demo is not a good tell-tail sign IMO...I like the single player fine, sure its great... but MP action is what dictates my purchase...
Don't let us down BO!
-
Colin, why was there no MP with Demo? Many here are strictly MP players....I have pre-ordered, but I am very upset at the idea of "buying weapons" with tactical points for MP dom mode. I already bought all the weapons for $ 50 dollars! And now it looks (reading from Gr.com) that there really is not any other MP besides domination mode until June?
What gives?
-
“Tactical points are earned by killing enemies (amount of points dealt depend on if you shot the enemy in your or his zone) and neutralizing/taking over zones. You lose tactical points for shooting teammates.â€
Bo, after spending 50 dollars to buy the game, I don’t want to have to ‘buy’ tactical points in a game to use weapons that, frankly, I’ve already paid my money for the right to use.
“Tactical points can be exchanged for heavier weapons. Standard settings are set so that you can't afford anything but the M8 and a side arm to begin with, and have to secure a set of supply lines to you earn the right to, say, a Barrett or a SAW.â€
When you are in the Military, they don’t look at “tactical points†to see what type of weapon you can “afford.†They look at the mission and for SF (like Ghosts) usually allow them a weapon choice from a healthy arsenal. As you say Bo, the word “Recon†is in the name, well, as one like you, who has military experience, most Marine Force Recon missions will allow their operatives the choice of selection. Your current mode restricts the operatives from the get go... the opposite of why I wanted to play MP...
-
Yeah mine is the same!
-
VeLocityChaos you are so right. There is a big difference b/w squad level tactics and an "in game Bazar."
I like things simple, that is why SEIGE is so great. GIVE US SEIGE!
Domination mode sounds a bit like BF2, and of that game I am no fan.
But, as it has been said, one needs to see how it is played. However, after spending fifty dollars, I don't want to have to buy anthing in the game, especially items that are bought on 'playing' time.
So, we shall see.
-
Yes, very good thankyou. Bo's statement was on the 3rd of March. Presently, it's April 17th. Focusing on his operative words "RIGHT NOW" March 3rd is not right now, now is it? Theory called precedent and subsequent
& recently Bo said he would go into detail "soon" about MP. Bo, I know I speak for many here when I say "soon" just arrived!!!
Looks great!
Thanks again.

I got this Thermaltake Tsunami but its a mid case. Sometimes I forget its there, eventhough it sits on top of the desk vs underneath.
Plus this Silverstone Zeus ST56ZF
I'm a cheap AMD guys so I can't help you on the Pentium topic.
Sorry there Devil Dog.
thank you my brother in arms!
And thanks to all who replied, I really appreciate your insight!!! Look forward to seeing on www.thecombatzone.net!!!
-
Bo, thanks again for your time on these forums. Your professionalism exhibited here and in the product is why I have already Pre-ordered the game for myself and younger brother.
I am, like so many others, very excited about the MP modes.
would you be so kind as to talk in greater detail about the MP modes to those of us who could not be there due to large volumes of water, and lastly, will there be 'Seige' type play?
Thanks again, all the best.
PS
I hope your contract with UBI has sales volumes as aggregate points for GRIN, this game is gonna be hot!
-
That is one nice photo!
-
thanks to both of you...Rocky actually I am going to have nearly a tera-byte, I'm not upgrading my HD's as they are fine and need to save money on some items, and since they work, no through put issues, why replace?
So do you still think the Artic-Cool ps will do the job?
-
This is going to be a great game and provide the strongest MP action since GR1!!!
In the words of Jake & Elwood, "it's time to put the band back together!"
Best to all & thanks again Grin!!!
BOHICA UNITE!

A few question for you experts as I am admittedly a novice at building computers. Thank you in advance for your info!
My computer dates back to 2002. I do use it for work (video editing, now going to HD editing). It would Run GRAW at low settings with its 9800 pro, 2 gig Ram and 2.4 processor…
I am going to be getting the 7900GTX , 2 gigRam and P4 3.4 or 4.2 duel core…
My questions are thus:
(1) I would like to get quietest case possible, I have narrowed it down to the Artic-cool case (only has power-supply of 450) and Antec. Which is the best case,
(2) is the 450w Artic power supply too low for my new gear demands?
(3) Off topic of gaming, but for video editing I have always used Pentium CPUs, anyone out there driving HD editing with AMD…I know Intel is over priced, but for my requirements I am a Intel slave needlessly so???
Thanks again.
-
Yes, they are scary man, really scary...More Scary then they are heavy! Once you feel the percussion / shockwave, wow!!! The HD 40's are pretty serious too!
I carried a 203 and I was always impressed with its firepower...
I am sorry not to see an M-16 or M-4 in the game, I know it's 2013, but I like my classic weapons and love the tried and true! 1911A1 anyone?

Remember, there are still Coop tournies going on at this time, 4 and a half years after GR's original release.
Roger I was not aware of that. I have been a little removed from the original GR for sometime now.
Dont get me wrong I think GR COOP is a wonderful thing - its a shame more games dont embrace the COOP style of gameplay - its highly overlooked and greatly underrated.
I have to say that nothing beats playing with your trusted mates in a Clan v. Clan, AI [at least for now] does not compare to a dueling with real humans!!!
Now I just want to know what the "Domination Mode" is going to be like in MP...Living in California, SF, the "Domination Mode" could mean the Corn Rows are back from 'Let Down' with other less desired fashion statements!
Looks Great Grin!!!
-
Forty is going to be big ol' dudes (i.e. Ghosts) who can make that! Maybe WK and Bo might make that in RL, but I know my limits, I could not throw a gernade more than 25-30 yards...
-
Coop is FOUR mate, MP, where the real men will be found (& women), has 32!
-
Seige is strongly favored over Last Man Standing b/c the former represents a true Miltary Objective...(although killing the enemy is always an objective). The Military idea of taking and holding ground as an objective is not truly felt in LMS games...
This game looks like it is going provide the MP thrills of Military based cooperative game play.

Equipment
At this time, smoke grenades will be found in multiplayer but have not yet been included in single player. We will not be seeing flash bangs; it is my understanding that there are clear cut views on certain aspects of game direction and a clear differentiation between the Ghosts and Team Rainbow. (This was also the case with the decision not to include civilian population in the game.)
What you quoted isn't from the hands on report.
Thanks Easy!!!
-
just looked this is what I see from Colin's report
"Smoke Gernades. We do not want to unbalance game play with this, but we have worked on this. Still we cannot guarantee this, and we do not want to risk it in multiplayer, since it can lead to cheats (with tuned graphical options that could give an advantage to some players). "
Could you point me to where you are seeing Smoke for MP?
Thanks.

I went to a friends and tried the game (post my demo experience) on MP. When Bo claimed the Dom mode was nothing like BF2, he must have been talking about the lack of bunny hoping and vehicles, b/c there are the EXACT SAME CONCEPT...CAPTURE THE FLAG, along with the weak "buying" with tactical points.
I know Grin says they will fix the MP in June...time will tell of course...Bo, were you in Amsterdam when thought up the domination mode? It is horrible...
