Floyd Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 So how many are still playing Graw2, I reinstalled my copy the other night and we have turned the SPARTA server back on, it’s just running coop for the moment, but as good as COD4 is, I and a few others missed playing Graw2. We have even though about if we can get some interest, switching over the server to multiplayer & doing some tactical squad games. You only really need 10 to 15 but more the merrier. Just sharing my thoughts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
th33f. Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 to give you a guesstimate, i'd say less than 0.01% of the total number of members here. or you could say about as many as there are playing [GR] right this moment(7 years after release).

Papa6 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 well, with the news on the front page of GRAW2 being for free..perhaps not many. This game is but 7-8 months old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutlink Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 It's approximately 6 months old with 66 people in servers at this time (time being 2:06AM GMT -07:00 January 22, 2008). With the game recently becoming free I wouldn't be surprised to see a slight increase in the number of players, but I wouldn't expect that to last.

Rocky Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 On a more positive note , I'd drop in for a few games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kretzj Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I see the "GRAW2 PC for Free" move as the final word on support for the game... namely, it's gone. I doubt we will ever see the fabled 1.05 patch. GRAw2 was uninstalled a while back and right now I'm playing [GR] and... gulp... Soldier of Fortune - Payback. Yeah, SoF is scripted like CoD4 but not any less than GRAW2 and it's not a bad game for $29. Could be a message in there for Ubi in my humble opinion. [GR] will live forever, I swear. It's easy for me to overlook the 2001 era graphics... [GR] still holds my attention despite playing the maps DOZENS and DOZENS of times. -John K.

Giving the game away is like giving the razor away... if they can use the "freebie" deal to build the base of players, it gives them a bigger customer base to buy an expansion pack (thus buy the razor blades). Could there be a positive somewhere in this recent decision, or are we just like usual.... blinded to reality by our desire to have a better product? -John K.

Kanima Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I Still have it installed, albeit unplayed since COD4. But would jump in on a few games. K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteKnight77 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I would not pay to join FilePlanet just to get GRAW2 though, free as it may be. I let my previous membership lapse and decided after the GR Mod debacle to not rejoin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRAW2 MP should be in the encyclopedia under Failure. odds are that out of a couple of hundred suckers that decide to go with File Planet, maybe a couple will stay playing online... another important detail is the "player quality" so to speak. experienced, dedicated team players have all uninstalled the game a long time ago. the people you'll see playing today are the leftovers of noobs that have never heard of [GR], or a tactical shooter for that matter. what's funny is they are utterly terrible at run'n'gunning as well. it's just sad.

I haven't uninstalled mine, doubt that i will. I found it fun. Just waiting fo the patch to get a little more life in it. Should be soon... i remember something in the beginning of the month about a bug found in it... and it was sent back to testing and may be by the end of this month. Anyone want to bet on a date? I'll take next Wed. The 30th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't ever say I didn't try (once in a while) to stay positive! You are right, of course. It isn't free. And that will be a barrier. I'm still of the opinion that we will never see the light of day on patch 1.05. Ubi/GRiN has moved on... and if we get Patch 1.05 it will be just a few minor fixes, no new maps, no major fixes, etc. I think getting our hopes up for 1.05 to include new content is just setting ourselves up for massive let-down. Sorry, another massive let-down. -John K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
