One thing that needs to be changed is this. I realize a different company developed this game, but one should keep some of the things from previous titles. All R6 titles and GR had one thing in common. 1. You selected you primary, secondary, and kits items by pressing 1,2,3,4 etc. Using this dang "f" key to bring up a menu that you then have to scroll through is down right retarded and takes to long. Let alone in SP there is some kind of bug that sometimes will not allow me to select my secondary weapon, mouse wheel scrolling skips over it like its grayed out. I notice it happens a lot after I have thrown a grenade, then I’m unable to select my secondary weapon. This is what you get when you have a company making a PC title, but all they have is console programming on the brain. GRIN, PC’s have keyboards, NOT finger pad console controllers…make use of the darn KB. 2. The patch was supposed to fix the "You're leaving the mission area" but instead every time I here those words, my game freezes. Twice I was so close to finishing my SP mission, look for one last tango left, and game freezes when mission area statement comes up. 3. I own a high end system, and expected GRAW to have lot better graphics; this no AA is just plain retarded. I would trade nice looking graphics for the entire game as compared to the stupid physics of explosions being detailed by AGEIA PhyyX card. I running BF2 1280 x 1024 with 4AA and all settings at their highest, and the game just looks drop dead gorgeous, It makes GRAW LOOK like some game that using three year old technology. Crap, R6 Lockdown had better graphics than GRAW. Because of the lack of Dedicated server support for both R6 Lockdown and GRAW, this game is never going to be popular, we all wasted our money on a dead horse. I'm having troubles with server support, you know what Ubi told me, "we don't support the online portion of the game, contact GameSpy for this". I knew this was a wasted of time and exactally what GS was going to say. GS says "contact Ubi, Ubi just paid for the license to use our code that supports online gaming, when you see powered by GS in game, it's nothing more than a trademark". They infact respned witha detailed email reply, and told me to FWD it to Ubi.

I'm not using a router at this time, but I am using ZA Pro, but turned it off in services just to make sure. I did a search once that didn't net any results. Is there a complete listing of GRAW and GameSpy Ports?

I tried this, but it didn't make any difference, server still cant be seen.

Well I turned my firewall totally off in the services, tried creating a MP game via Internet, and no one can see my server. Clanmates tried hosting, we couldn't see any of our own servers show up under internet. I tried using Battle LAN, I added each clans IP's and they each added mine, they still could,t find my server. What the heck would have been wrong of carrying on tradition of former Tom Clancy games...and just having "Join by IP" Ubi morons ! ! !

Before I built the high end system I have now, I had to go into the Misc. and set ventrilo to "High Priority" under Process Priority Class, otherwise as soon as I oepned any Online game, V would loose connection, then re-connect. If you have a game that takes a lot of resources to launch or play, then ventrilo may not have enough access to your CPU, and disconnects. This is one thing you could try.

Demos are always this way, early builds of the game with limit support. Their to busy or close to crunch time usually, and just don't have the man hours to put in.

I haven't really looked through the games folders yet, but saw the skull on the shoulders of the squad, and was wondering if GRAW was going to support arm patches like RS, and RvS?

Well after trying everything under the sun, some older Nvidia display drivers, I decided to call Ubi tech support. Here's what Ubi told me "We know of no know issues, (apparently they haven't read any forum post).If players are having problems we need them to call in." Ubisoft Game Support 919-460-9778... this number is out of North Carolina (EST), I'm not sure of what their operating hours are. Don't waste you time wading through the extensive recorded menu, just push Zero for a live body! Please flood their phone lines, they are sending me an email, and want me to send them back some system files after we went discussed my hardware and driver versions.

Its shipping with MP and SP Well I've uninstalled and reinstalled it several times, black screen comes up with two small blue arrows in the upper right hand and left hand corner, then it crashes to my desktop every time.

This is not a post so much about 3rd person view, as its aimed at server setup for multiplayer of GR2 I have no use for 3rd person views in a first person shooter, if its optional great, but dont implement it into the game so its forced upon the player by the server. Other Words Ubi, don't even make it an option in the server setup, let the player decide.! In Raven Shield you play on servers and are forced to play with your weapon being displayed. I say it sould be up to the player how he want to view the game. I come from a clan of nearly a 100 members, and about 90% of them can't stand third person view.
