Are you bullshitting or did this really happen? I will not buy this game if it constantly drops like last year's offering. Is this seriously going to be a drop-a-thon again?
I got dropped like 4 seconds after it started because of a "connection error."

Mother****ers. This is exactly what happened in the first.

i never had a problem with drops once i upgraded my upload speed.

my upload speed is 768kb/s. Not too shabby. And I still got dropped all the time. We shouldn't have to upgrade OUR speeds when GRAW is basically one of the only games on LIVE that does this. Well, GRAW and Lost Planet.

Aw damn it, they totally gimped the alternate vision mode. Now it's a lame night vision that just makes things just harder to look at. GIMME BACK MY HEAT VISION!!!! I want glowing enemies back. :(

Well that's great, but now it's just gonna be a camp-fest with no retaliation. I was the ultimate camping bastard killer in the last game because of the heat vision. :(

if you don't shoot, you can't take damage upon spawning.

not if you get rid of the camera gun and use the scout things correctly. **** the Camera gun!

how unbalanced was that shit?
 
I'm going to buy this, then I'm going to want the game. Which isn't a good idea, because I have about as much money to my name as it would take to purchase a new 360 game.

I might just pretend this doesn't exist and keep playing Gears of War...

I'm not talking about spawn campers. I'm talking about your garden variety campers that hide throughout the map.

All those things could be turned off by the server. When those things aren't available, I relied on the heat vision to make the game more of an offensive one then a camping defensive one. I HATE SLOW FVCKING CAMP-FESTS!!
 
Im having fond memories of staying up till 3 in the morning with che, lonestar and a few others playing coop.

cant wait for this to come out (plus, I think I'll have completely beaten crackdown about 3 times before this releases, so I needs something new).
 
Just got done playing a few sessions. I'm loving it, it is looking awesome, and the feel is right on. So far so good on connection as well, no drop outs. I was a little hesitant about this purchase at first but IÂ’ve been completely sold by the demo. This is going to take me back to my original Ghost Recon days I believe, and that would be a good thing.
 
I don't see how any tactical shooter, post Gears, would overlook nailing the whole cover system thing... *shrug*

Although, spawn campers still suck because they just wait there for the few seconds that you can't get shot and then just shoot you when the forcefield disappears. And there's plenty of hiding spots. Real multiple spawn points, plz.

Overall, it's better than GRAW, though. The netcode is better and the graphics are much improved. The game is still floaty as hell, though. It feels like you're walking on air and your character stops moving 2 steps after you want him to. Watching people walk/run around looks really goofy unless they're squatting. Also, if someone comes up behind you you're ****ed no matter what...which I guess is realistic, but someone is always coming up behind you and you're always coming up behind someone else...hopefully, it's better on bigger maps.

Even the online multiplayer element of the first GRAW game seemed alot like that of the console Ghost Recon before it..Apparently it still hasn't changed all that much. Laziness?

Um .... I'm perfectly calm. Ubisoft multiplayer netcode just sucks ass. We go through this shit everytime they release a new game.


QFT, how the hell do they get away with this shit on EVERY GAME?

Yea, I'm not seeing the connection issues from GRAW 1 this time however. So far my sessions have been smooth sailing. Hopefully this will translate to the full version as well because personally those issues were the main thing holding me back this go around.

I really hate that about GRAW. Your head is always at the same general height no matter if you're running or walking, it looks like you're on a conveyor belt.
