That is the current Boneyard map, though it may look different than you usually see it based on your TV brightness and in game brightness settings. One thing that is for certain in GRAW is that changing the in game brightness drastically changes the play of the darker maps. On default brightness on my 360 and TV, Boneyard looks quite a bit darker than those pictures. If I turn the brightness up, I can get it quite a bit brighter than those pictures, to look like middle of the day on a cloudy day. That is one reason I am not sure how much replay value creating a darker version of Nowhere for instance will add much game value, because most of the people will end up turning up the in game brightness to see better.

Clopticon Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Yes Jungle Mines is amazing for this. Just wait till you blast a few opponents off of the mine structure with a grenade and watch them carom to the ground. We've been doing it for a while now and it never gets old! In looking at screen shots, I am interested in that the 4 new maps look to have more verticality (word?) than most previous GR maps. I think that might add some more replay value and fun to the maps. I just wish we were getting more. More, more, more..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manson_AAN Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 look sweet, the HUD looks better than the PC one too XD. How come they are allowed like 8 players in a co-op map? i thought it was only four? or is it like an XBOX 360 special thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GIJoe*Shockwave Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 GIJOe - The fact that you are not happy with the PC version really doesn't mean a "f'n" thing. We paid full price for a next gen game - if some of us feel there were short comings to the product that can be addressed with DLC so be it. How about you go get a 360 and quit whining about the PC version .... I would love to play 360 GRAW. I loved GR2 online for xbox, but im not a joystick kinda of guy ive tried and tried but key&mouse work much better.If billy gates ever wakes up and makes 360 work with key&mouse with games he'll have alot more PC players come to 360 land.

W1ngsh0t Posted June 9, 2006 Author Share Posted June 9, 2006 I think that is coming sooner rather than later. At E3 there was a lot of talk about cross platform gaming as well as keyboards ... can a mouse be that far behind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cons72 Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Thanks for the note. I am looking forward to the new ones. Now get back to work and get us some more new maps. And tell the higher ups to make them free and give you a raise. Yes Jungle Mines is amazing for this.

unwritt3n Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 teamxbox.com suggest having some spare Microsoft Points for this DLC. How much (in points) do you guys think it will cost. I just purchased the 12 Month Xbox LIVE subscription that came with 200 Microsoft Points.. enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W1ngsh0t Posted June 12, 2006 Author Share Posted June 12, 2006 It had better not be more than $5 US which would be around 400 pts I think - especially since the maps should be free and skins don't add to game play..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The people who made them may not have slaved over alot of em (changing day to night and vice versa isn't exactly something I know how to do but I don't see it being as hard as making a whole new map) but they still worked on them. Would you wanna do a job and not get paid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These maps take people and man hours to create. I personally feel if a company wants to charge for additional content, they should. I feel the DLC will be around 5 to 10 dollars. There are a couple reasons why i feel like companies WILL and should charge for this content. A. The majority of video game players in the US is 18-34 years old. Plenty old enough to have a job and afford the 5 bucks every 4 months to keep their game fresh. B. Games like world of warcraft have proven, people will pay 15 dollars a month to play the same game, so these publishers know they can charge people 5 bucks or 10 bucks once every 4 months and have no problem. C. Like i said above this DLC content doesnt make itself, and the Keebler Elves arent making it so....it cost money for them to make , they should charge money for it. D. you arent being forced to buy it. it is added value content. just a different take on your opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W1ngsh0t Posted June 13, 2006 Author Share Posted June 13, 2006 Opsix - as stated before I feel GRAW shipped with a lack of MP maps. I understand that content takes time and resources to develop but, in my opinion, the MP content in terms of maps was lacking on GRAW at launch. Having said that - I expect they will charge ofr the content and the majority of GRAW fans will buy it. I also agree that the majority of players - myself included - will pay $5 for frequent updates ( Iwould like to think 2 - 3 months) that add to the game ... but if the launch content shrinks and companies plan on charging for DLC then the price at launch should reflect the diminished content. I for one would liek to see GRAW split into standalone MP and SP versions so I didn't have to pay for the SP development costs. You suggest $10 as the high end ..well that is 1/6 the cost of the game ... which includes a full SP campaign and 4 coop missions, 6 mp maps and I am not sure hwo many weapons .. .I dont think 4 new coop missions, some relit maps, and 5 weapons came close to taking 1/6 or 1/12 the resources used to develop and launch GRAW. I am all for new content and will happily pay a reasonable amount for the value recieved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost627 Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 OPSIX how much is 1750 points in actual $$. Don't have live and i think this dlc should come on a disc to upgrade g.r.a.w. or with an expansion pack (like summit strike) with new single player missions as well.

W1ngsh0t Posted June 13, 2006 Author Share Posted June 13, 2006 A US Dollar buys 80. A Yen buys .67. A pound buys 120. A Euro buys about 67. So 1750 is about $21.87 US dollars. You can buy pts at retailers like Bestbuy - a card with 1600 pts costs $20. Or charge it to your Live account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You Know, I was going to post when I first saw MasterKain was saving 1750=21.875 US. I think you are just the consumer Ubisoft,Microsoft is looking for. If it costs that much, I guess Ill just move on. I will save $5 US for the DLC. Though, It would be nice if its free . Microsoft points 80 to 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that it is possible that ubisoft could sell the dlc at first over live. then after like 2 months or so distribute it on oxm disc for free, sorta like halo 2 did.

Kamakazi Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 On Amazon, if you convert the available 1600 point card that costs 16.47 or something like that, it comes out to be about a cent a point, so 500 points is 5 bucks. American currency obviously, but I dontk now if you are paying a premium for buying them through Amazon and on a card, and they might be cheaper if you just buy them digitally over Live.

W1ngsh0t Posted June 13, 2006 Author Share Posted June 13, 2006 Based on this link - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000B9RI1...glance&n=468642 The 1600 pts cost 19.99 - the "exchange rate for pts is 80 / $1 US. As stated in a post on the prior page the rates are different for other currencies and do not equate to the excahnge rate between those currencies and the $US.

W1ngsh0t Posted June 14, 2006 Author Share Posted June 14, 2006 Kamakazi - to tell you the truth I looked twice - was trying to figure out how you could buy "Used" MS Points ... would have been a sweet deal though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
