o RATMAN o Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 (edited) if my memory serves me correct the DLC was out in the morning, and on the first graw the dlc came out at 10.30pm. I'd I have thought releasing early GMT would allow the DLC to be download while the rest of the world sleeps. rather then the mad rush.. Releasing in the evening could be a nightmare, the First graw dlc took me over 24 hours to download, but a lot more people was playing then. I am sure you right mate, I posted on gr.com saying this I am sure I was on a night shift and called the Mrs to download them for me. Fingers crossed Also Ubi have announced yet another community manager who's sole purpose is to keep us loyal paying customers up to date with information.... Sorry, thought having a laugh would break the tension a little...lol Edited January 29, 2008 by o RATMAN o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teko92 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 (edited) Scary -> how recent email from ubisoft has automatically changed its numbers from 400 pts to 800 pts. Is that ethically - or even legally - acceptable? As they now have gone through the trouble of editing already submitted email I think it is safe to assume that the final price will be 800 msp. Sad thing is -> while feeling offended I can't wait to play the new maps ;-) Edited January 29, 2008 by teko92 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad thing is -> while feeling offended I can't wait to play the new maps ;-) I don't think this is coming out today. I have a hunch Ubi VP's are huddled in a conference room trying to figure out if and how to release the maps at 800 points and not be in violation of any consumer advertising laws, given the e-mail that went out. When there is good news, Ubi jumps to the forums to post the information (awards posts), when things are not going the way they would like they seal up tighter than a clam. i.e. What we are seeing today.

Well RATMAN, I cant see any achievement changes, I think the update was to prepare graw2 for the DLC, or the xbox? thankfully it wont exceed my Traffic Shaping ISP or i'll never get to download it tonight!

Cons72 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I just got a dash update on graw 2 Not sure what it done though ? try booting up graw2 When was the last time you played GRAW2? How many games have you played since last playing GRAW2? If it has been a high number for either, you may have just had to re-download a previous update. I have had to do that a couple of times. However, if they did need to get a title update out before the new maps would work, that would explain why the DLC was not put on Marketplace first thing in the morning.

This new premium content package will enrich and extend the original game by allowing players to expand their LIVE experience with an all-new co-op campaign and a total of nine maps, seven of which are inspired by classic maps from Ghost Recon’s illustrious history and two that are totally brand new.

In total there are nine maps, seven of which are inspired by classic maps from Ghost Recon’s illustrious history and two that are totally brand new. All nine maps (including adversarial versions of the Co-op Campaign maps) have exquisite visuals and support all of GRAW 2’s thousands of customizable game modes. ACHIEVEMENTS: The Co-op Collection offers nine new achievements for GRAW 2, totaling 125 achievement points. CO-OP MAPS New Co-op Campaign – Story: Manuel Suazo Azcona has emerged as the leader of a new rebel movement in El Salvador. Azcona’s plan seems to be an attempt to destabilize the governments of both El Salvador and neighboring Honduras. Once their respective governments are weakened, he will incite the people to try and overthrow both countries’ U.S.-backed leaders. The Ghosts are being sent in to quell this uprising before it starts. They must first stop the rebel incursions over the two nations’ shared border and then hunt down the rebel leaders one by one. If they fail, America’s efforts in the region could be set back by decades. Caves – (Ghost Recon®) § Azcona’s squads are using the nearby caves as an operational base for raiding army convoys across the river. Detain and extract the rebel leader and recon the area for any hidden weapon caches. Railroad Bridge – (Ghost Recon) § Intel reports the rebels are moving on a command post 60 clicks southeast of here. Protect the command post, recon the local rail line and hunt down the informant providing intel to the rebels. Battlefield – (Ghost Recon) § The last rebel unit in the area is holed up in the village of Venta. An allied armor unit on the edge of town is pinned down by artillery. Ghosts, knock out the enemy comm transmitter, then escort the armor through the village. Plantation – (Ghost Recon®: Island Thunder®) § Intel shows a rebel leader’s motorcade is moving through the farms south of here. Take out his convoy and destroy all of the surrounding ADATS before Sabre Seven arrives for extraction. Swamp Airfield – (Ghost Recon: Island Thunder) § Azcona’s rebels have occupied a small island airfield. Recon the area for intel on this operation and destroy all aircraft to prevent any means of escape. The landing strip is targeted for an air strike so get out ASAP. ADVERSARIAL MAPS Business Park – (Brand New) / Suitable for 8 to 12 players § Narrow alleys connect open courtyards with overlooking balconies in this concrete corporate paradise. Rooftop – (Brand New) / Suitable for 8 to 12 players § Sitting on top of the world, the rooftop structure of a skyscraper has lots of cover and vertical combat. Caves – (Ghost Recon) / Suitable for 12 to 16 players § Rolling terrain, forest and a cave structure tucked into the side of the mountains. Railroad Bridge – (Ghost Recon) / Suitable for 12 to 16 players § A deep valley with a rail bridge spanning overhead, hilly and wooded areas nearby. Battlefield – (Ghost Recon) / Suitable for 8 to 12 players § Open terrain with pockets of war-torn buildings, under the limited visibility of black skies and pouring rain. Plantation – (Ghost Recon: Island Thunder) / Suitable for 12 to 16 players § Wet, foggy airfield located in the heart of a murky swamp. Swamp Airfield – (Ghost Recon: Island Thunder) / Suitable for 4 to 8 players § A bright, sunny day overlooks the plantation fields and nearby structures, including a large warehouse. Prison – (Ghost Recon: Island Thunder) / Suitable for 4 to 8 players § This dilapidated structure has many paths in and out. Castle – (Ghost Recon) / Suitable for 12 to 16 players § The mighty castle walls and excavation within provide lots of cover and CQB, while thick wooded countryside offers ample stealth and sniping opportunities. *More Guns Pack – Free Weapons DLC!

These new weapon models are from all over the world, and give a new twist to the Ghost’s cutting edge arsenal. The GRAW 2 More Guns Pack is a FREE download DLC available now!

I think Ubi should sell the thing for 400 and then make the dude that screwed the pooch on this with the faulty email make up the difference with his paycheck!

5timechamp Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 800 pts isnt terrible considering that weve got plenty of maps and a couple of DLC packs free already, im sure those who still play graw as their primary game will pay no problem......beyond all that though is the fact that the game is not even in the top 10 most played on Live, 800 pts may prove too high a price in regards to luring people back into the game when theyve already moved on to other things...but what the hell do i know?
