Ah well that'll give me time to upgrade the machine............I reckon this title will be very hungry for your resources...................

Played the frist mission this morning before going to work! Pretty intense and definitely alot of fun.....the landings are awesome!

Didn't see a discussion on this one on the boards here. Its one of those titles that just looks like a classic, if the hype and media news is to be believed. PS3 and 360 versions are imminent, with PC to follow. Looks awesome, can't wait to see how this plays..........although I would like to know what the system specs are going to be run that sort of eye candy! . Assassins creed:gamespot.

Excellent..........more early Xmas presents for me from my wife............muhaha

Gah.........! Bought this and had major difficulty reading the DVD on both drives (which are upated!). This is a known issue with the Sega security on the DVD Dual layers. With a heavy heart I took it back........more mods for me I guess..............

I've been waiting for this expansion for a while now........whats the release date anyone?

I've seen similar "stack" errors twice now. On: Mission 5 (I think its 5 - 'price of peace') and the previous mission also.

Man.......... its like hand bags at ten paces up there between viper and that other unpronouncable. Who cares, I mean can't we all just get along (man). MP Vs,...... man......................you girls just can't resist a good catfight eh? Meeoow........ Smoke a pipe.....and have cold beer......play some SP (or maybe even the SIMS, something soothing to get over the MP EGO)...... Peace and love (and MP CO-OP).

Settings make little difference which I find strange, however: 1024x768 to 1024 x1068 low to medium for textures, effects, etc. post effects off. shadows off.

Sweet ....... good job.

Just wondering what you guys get for your FPS? I have a dual core running at 2.37Ghz and a 7800GS 256MB, with 2G ram, my average FPS sit at about 24.... even slower when tanks arrive.........all drivers are updated, background process's are off, card GPU is running at 415Mhz. Bizzarely enough, even when I drop my resolution down I don't really see an increase.

As a caviat on gamespot, these are the same guys that gave BF2 a 9 out of ten (or similar). If you read the review they are falling over themselves to hand this beast the tactical game of the century award. Needless to say if youve played BF2, it leaves alot to be desired.......

Glad to see that you guys have picked up on Gamespots inability to properly gauge this series and its tactical gamplay. To say that GRAW2 is torturously difficult is just wide of the mark. If these guys are looking for little sandwiches and apples to boost health on the battlefield then stick to other FPS types. They have incorrectly assesed this and are using the wrong genre of game as a benchmark I feel. GR as a series has always been underated as far as I can see. PCGAMER in the UK constantly slated GR and the R6 series. After reading gamespots review I scoffed at their difficulty criticism, it is evident that these guys have been spending too much time on BF2 or bioshock or some similar FPS. Good work Rocky.

Agree with that one Fletch, there is potential there with mods I just hope that we see some open play these and good use of the enviroment. It is going to be hard to please everyone, but its only natural that this is compared with the key elements and feel of [GR] as it has the name on the box. I do like the AI placement a la full spectrum warrior, much better. I am still waiting to see some good co-op servers, besides that, my machine will need an upgrade it is stretching to play this!

Have to agree, a good post there Cell, some very interesting points with regards to the GR1 aspects (or missing aspects that should be). GRAW2 is a big improvement on GRAW but its still missing some key elements that the old timer still has. I remember some of the first missions I played, GR came across as groundbreaking, especially the night missions in GR, they absolutely rocked, blew me away...........I don't get that same feeling with the GRAW series, but I still will play GRAW2 and appreciate it as a very good tac. shooter. As for MP, I have yet to finish the SP missions.................

Thanks for the feedback, not that I can't be arsed reading other threads (and yes I am sure there are thousands) but I was hoping for some 'real time' responses and a quick summary. I will check out the demo for sure...........appreciate the responses, cheers guys.

I see....interesting..........thx Forrester....

I don't want to seem like I am taking the pi** or anything...but errr............can someone who knows tell me.......am I wasting my time buying GRAW2. GRAW was off the mark by a good distance and no amount of patching and coming back to play it again and convince my self would do any good. Then it bombed on my system for good and would never run right..........(the cherry on the cake.... man). I used to keep dreaming of ghost recon 2 and then I wake up in covered in sweat to see GRAW still on my PC shelf.........ah its was only a dream...............back to Medieval total war 2...........(its safe). No wading through virtual swamps.........no Georgian rebels,..........nope'........just a nightmare and a long distant memory scattered with a taste of what could have been........... ('love ya UBI.....come back redstorm.......... Will I be joining the disgruntled ranks of old school fools who live in the past and rant about the good ol days...............? Just wondered.....cheers................ (genuinely I want to know by the way).

I can't beleive the whining about GRAW goes on and on...........seriously now, some of you don't like GRAW at all, that's cool but does it require four weeks of continual complaining?. I've never seen so many toys come out the pram..........How long do you need to get over it?...I mean please, I understand, I love GR and I think GRAW has got some changes to make............... but this is getting really

Why oh why do we perpetuate these randoms who turn up slate GRIN and GRAW mindlessly and then dissapear.......this thread is still going long after EMF whatshisface has left........honestly this endless whining is getting dull. These whiners are getting way too much limelight. Any chance of a whiners area for the forums? If you don't like it.....buy another game.......... I've never seen so many toys come out a pram before........... . Go outdoors, see the sunlight, find a girl, settle down, buy HL2/BF2.....whatever it takes . Ok so GRAW isn't the game of your dreams.....deal with it, go play OP Flashpoint. Honestly.........its like.............

I will be keeping it............

Looks good..........nice work all!

Sound like Co-op will be a regular party with this set up................

Some interesting history there Echelon, as I said old R6 heads are awlays welcome! As for weapon modelling, I would throw that up in another thread (this one is heading for the archives already!), you might even get Yodasplat to comment on that one. His weapon Mods were awseome, I have even seen Ravenmouth kicking about recently! What I know about modding, you could write on a matchstick. I'm afraid my working life doesn't allow for the time to get into it! I have only played the demo with a few of the weapons, so far they look good, the scope detail is pretty sweet. I really have to wait for the full version and play this through. Night missions will probably show up some nice muzzle flash, etc..........

I'm in NZ at the moment.......they tell me its the 12th..........ah well another week..better not be any later. Ive waited long enough UBI.
