  1. He's thinking and he's practicing to kill me and my friends. This does not represent a positive development.

    So with that logic every person/group/nation that has somebody with a gun training how to use it is trying to go kill anybody that isn't like them... nice. That says alot about the MILLIONS of Americans going out back of the farm and shooting at cans and targets on a range.

    Scary thought eh?

  2. First shot is cinematic trailer from E3...not a gameplay

    That doesn't validate your comment about 3rd person... both 1st and 3rd are available in 360 version. And the 360 version does look good - with distance focus in the single-player mode, but none in the MP mode. The graphics in the MP mode look very similar to PC demo, just a bit 'softer' thanks to AA - but not nearly as crisp as far distances. Sniping on the PC Demo is much better IMO.

    Can't wait for full version (got my fedex tracking #... it's on a truck 2 hours away!)

  3. Go any team from Canada! It's been too long since we've seen the cup back here...

    I'd love to see Edmonton represent the West... but I can't stand Montreal or Ottawa (go figure huh).

    GO sabres tonight! Go Calgary tomorrow night! (hope Scott N. get sent golfing after abandoning the Devils right after Stevens retires - He can play with his brother... with their 7 irons!)

    :P

  4. You watch this guy and listen to the funny song and you laugh. Well, I hate to be the one to rain on the party but I, for one, am not laughing.

    5) When he fights, it will be on his home ground.

    So, laughing boy, what have you done TODAY to keep this guy or somebody like him from coming from behind and eating your lunch?

    ummmm stayed home? 0:) You said when he fights it will be on his home ground... good. I'm not going there and picking a fight with him - are you? If he wants a bite of my sandwich, he'll need to stop prancing around with a gun in his hands... then we'll talk.

    This is the taliban's Frank Burns... give him a toothbrush and a gun and he'll go shoot his mouth off.

    :tumbleweed:

  5. The software has also an auto-update function, which might be the one that triggers the firewall.

    Are you suggesting that software with an autoupdate feature might actually periodically check to see if there's an available update? Weird. ;););)

    My anti-virus does this daily after I boot.... not that weird. :shifty:

    I'm asking for you to give your evidence that this is spyware. That's what I'm saying you should talk about if you know what you're talking about. That's it. Your EVIDENCE that this is SPYWARE.

    You make the claim, but thus far your only support has been that it's accessed your firewall, which is far from definitive evidence.

    "How do you know she's a witch?"

    (grabs the closest duck)

  6. *sigh*

    I know he is sighing for several reasons... including the Devils knocking them off in 4 straight.

    This is payback for Matteau...

    Carolina, Devils, Ottawa, Sabres... hmmm. Looks like Ottawa vs. Devils to me...

  7. I know this is a bit off the subject but... I've found when I am laying prone and I move forward just a bit, it allows me to aim a little lower.  :o= 

    I'm not worried though, it is just a demo and I'm sure there are many patches to come!!

    :g_withgrin:

    I too hope the roll is in the full version....but I am guessing that was some misinformation based on the 360 version

    HACK

    Yeah that roll in the 360 was cool - so was the 'dive and slide'... if you were running and hit the 'drop to prone' button, you would do a slick little hook slide or flop dive. It was really great animation. They had a great way to throw nades too - you would simply select the nade and put the 'ret' on the ground where you wanted it to land, then whether you held the button down determined how 'hard' and the arc of the nade as you threw it (longer = fastball, no arc, tap = high arc, toss).

  8. In the german tv-show which presented the 0.8-version of GRAW, there was a mission in a park, so some trees and green will be there.  :unsure:

    along with pigeons, dog dootie, oddly dressed old men in shorts and dress socks, joggers with ipods, and creepy skinny guys with pasty white skin staring through binocs... :blink:

  9. :wacko: Ok..I'm so confused...I need a tech head to help me out here...

    My current specs:

    AMD 64 3400+

    Asus K8V SE Deluxe

    1 GB Corsair PC 3200

    ATI Radeon 9600XT

    To add confusion, there is wild speculation that NVIDIA is about to release an AGP version of their 7900 GT vid card next month: http://www.techamok.com/?pid=637

    If you are knowledgeable in this area (and I know alot of you are) please advise me on the best choice for a good looking and playing GR:AW...

    I've got the X800 Pro and I'm looking to upgrade to the 850 XT as benchmarks are showing it's 20-25% faster/fps than mine. I think the demo runs very good (30 fps or better) with med-high settings across the board... so I'd say the 850 right now plus you can get it for $350-375 range. How much is the new Nvidia card gonna run?

    Did you see that corsair special on RAM they just ran? $138 for XMS paired 1 Gig sticks (2 Gig total) after rebate... I wanted that so bad but don't have the cash right now :(

  10. Well i just got AA-AF-HDR all in one lol i forced it on my gfx card seemed to work looks 10 times better i made a video few pics and a video at the end

    Good, people were thinking I was nuts/insane there for a while... glad you got the trifecta to work... my card isn't :showoff: enough to pull that off... but at least I can shake the jaggies.

  11. I have a X1900XTX and also forced the game to do AA, but I haven't seen any improvements. I also don't have any problems with frame rates, although I have a lot of jaggies. And I don't want to miss the dynamic lights and shadows. I want to use AA and those 2 options.

    Perhaps this is a either/or... have you disabled the dynamic lights and shadows AND tried AA forced? This is what I did purely by happenstance and I noticed a big improvement. I haven't tried forcing AA with dynamic lighting and shadows enabled... it may not 'kick in' in that case.

    Hmmmm :hmm:

  12. What drivers are you using Tangovictor? It's definitely been tried by hundreds of people so far and you're the only one reporting success with that method.

    I updated to the latest catalyst about 3 weeks ago. I'm not at home right now to look at version.

    There has been others saying they got it to work too. Check the other AA related threads with ATI in the title.

  13. You mind telling the rest of us how you managed to force AA?

    Page 1

    Link to page 1 of this thread

    But on ATI card you can go into the catalyst program and hard-force AA, AF, etc... regardless of the application's selections. I forced AA on the demo, went into the game and turned down AF from 8x to 4x and turned off the dynamic shadows.  Game runs smoother now and looks ALOT better (nearly no jaggies).

    I don't have experience with recent Nvidia cards but I would guess there is something similar?

  14. Why does AA have to be enabled in the game settings.  Don't ATI's drivers give you the ability to force AA from outside the game's settings?

    Yes, but the effect just isn't there. I have an X1900XTX and AA just can't be forced.

    Well I have X800 Pro and I forced AA to 4x and re-launched the demo and noticed a big improvement. I turned of dynamic lights and shadows and got a much smoother frame rate with significantly less jaggies.

    If your catalyst control center is installed, you should be able to force AA and leave all other settings at 'application preference' and get the same results.

    If not, then I'm not upgrading my card for anything.

  15. I cannot play the game. Heres my PC specs:

    GeForce FX5500 256MB AGP8

    Kingston PC-3200 DDR400 1GB

    AMD Athlon 64 bit 3200+

    I cant play the game at all. No problem loading the starting page. But when click play, i cant see nothing, all in pitch black, i can hear voice and the small screen on my upper right screen. It also lag very bad even when i run at lowest setting and resolution set to 800x600.

    I bet this is only due to vid card. Guys need some help, is it okay if i buy ATI Radeon X1600Pro 256MB DDR2 AGP8 for this game. Can this card take it?

    ---danish

    Yes - you should get slightly better performance than my X800pro 256 AGP. And mine runs fairly well with forced AA on. I do get a long initial load time at the 'black screen' after the intro screens however (1 min or so) before the game main menu comes up. maybe this is demo specific?

  16. This is the answer i got from UBI http://shop.ubi.com

    Question 2

    I want to know the shipping details for the order

    I heard that this game is already shipping to some customers, is that true? Is it possible to get it before the 5 of May because I made a preorder?

    Réponse à la question 2

    Dear Customer,

    That’s false because you can't receive the game before the release date, it's illegal.

    Thanks.

    It isn't illegal for UBI to sell it early - only a reseller. Resellers (EBgames, Bestbuy, Toys R Us) regularly get in 'trouble' for releasing it before the street date. They recieve the items up to a week early for putting out on the shelves on the 'street date'. Often they do this to drive a frenzy at their store for a popular item and put it out 24 hours early so everyone is going there to buy rather than the competition. This is technically illegal per their agreements with the publishers. Publishers don't want one store getting preference or a leg up because then your into a whole anti-trust lawsuit situation. Example: Microsoft was threatening to fine any store something like $10,000 per xbox 360 sold prior to the launch date for this very reason.

    So for UBI to respond and say this is insane. They can release something through their own online store early and have the street date be whenever, so long as they offer all the street dates within the country on the same date to everyone.

    Whoever responded was referring to the retailer situation. Fool. :wall:

  17. At first I didnt like the idea of a no running while firing option, but after trying it I think its going to add a steep learning curve which is a good thing.  Im really liking it so far.

    Indeed - we don't need another CS - full running sniper headshots! :wall:

    Run or aim & shoot... it should be an OR not a WITH.
