Ghost Recon 3: Advanced Warfighter

[HellFire]

Just played the preview version of it, bloody awesome. This game will surely blow away the Battlefield 2 competition (if there was any...). Go. Play. ASAP! :)

Better OP and (home-made) pics coming soon.

[Nino]

I'm warning you man, it's not fair hearing you talk about GR:AW all day. I'm not even a fan of the genre but the things you told me... Wow. Can't wait for the demo now :)

[HellFire]

Can't tell if the retail version will be as cool as the preview, but the first impressions were great. And you know what they say about first impressions... :P

[Nino]

Yeah the retail version will probably alot worse than the preview, I'll bet the strip all the cool things once theyre done 8)7 ;)

[Aift]

Hey man are you gaming on the Xbox360? If so, is it available for download already? I will turn my 360 on an check it out..But so i don't waste 5 minutes of my valuable time.

[Nino]

He has a preview version and a devkit, lucky press bastard.

[HellFire]

Yes, it's X360. And no, it's a preview for my debugkit. No demo, soz. :)

[Aift]

Debugkit? What is that?

[HellFire]

Black devkit.

He has a preview version and a devkit, lucky press bastard.
You're press too, right?

[Rival24]

You're press too, right?
Did we already tell you we're getting a group of people together to kill you, rape you, and steal your black devkit? That is... if you keep teasing us ;)

[Nino]

Debugkit? What is that?

Special Xbox 360 that let's you run unsigned code (unfinished previews/beta's etc.) and take screenshots. Only available for the press and developers.

You're press too, right?

Don't push it ;) I wish I recieved previews and had a devkit.

[Aift]

To my understanding a "Black Devkit" is the beta?

[Nino]

To my understanding a "Black Devkit" is the beta?

It's what I said it is, a special Xbox 360 that allows members of the press and developers to play previews and take screenshots etc. It's basicly a modded Xbox 360. And it's black yeah.

[Aift]

So basically sent him a all new black Xbox360, to play games before hand? Does he have to send this Xbox360 back to the company or something?

[Nino]

Probably, and he's probably under contract aswell. But lets get back ontopic and talk about GRAW ok? :)

[HellFire]

Sicks bastards. :'( .

Oh, within 10 minutes I can post some pics. :P

[Aift]

Me and Nino are figuring if we should throw you off of a building or run you over with a truck..Which would you perfer HellFire?;)

[HellFire]

How about both? :*)

[Aift]

Whoa we got a tropper here,_o_ . Nino, i'll get the truck you get the rope, i will meet you at HellFire's house ASAP...*Bangs on hellfire's front door*.

[HellFire]

As promised, some shots

- gone -

Edit: I'll upload them again, but this time with the gamer.nl logo on it, just to be certain. Call me lame, but you never know who's watching! :P

[Curry]

You're press too, right? We have a budget mmmkay, and last time I checked Microsoft wasn't handing out devkits for free ;)

Cheers Hellfire :+

[HellFire]

Don't go using them screenshots yerself or give atleast some credit when I'm done with my preview of both SP and MP of GR3 ;).

Edit I mean it though, do not use them. Or if you really want to, give credit.

I should have placed the logo on it, but since I don't know where to find it.... sigh.

[HellFire]

Is that the actual quality of the game? If so, it looks bad. Or maybe you need a new camera...Eewww:X

Dude, I just made photo's while zooming in on the monitor. Of course it can't be superb quality then. :(

And what to think of the compression? Changed it from 1600 x 1200 to 1024 x 768 with huge loss in quality too.

Trust me, the game looks nice.

[Aift]

Good because i was going to run to gamestop and get my $20 back from the pre-order.

[HellFire]

For just some photo's? :o .

Besides, GFX ain't everything.

[Aift]

In this generation of gaming graphics will play a key role, whether a system is made or broken... That is why i am so worried about graphics, it is just a essential peice.

That's partially true, but you should ofcourse never base your opinion on an 'inferior' source. So judge screenshots, not photographs with compression, rotation, wrong resolution, weird lighting and screen reflections et al :)

I said partially above because a monkey with the golden ring is ofcourse still a monkey. Call of Duty 2 is a success because it combines next-generation graphics with next-generation gameplay and next-generation sound. I've played enough games which looked marvellous and just shallow or outright crap gameplay not to look at just screenies anymore.

[etalien]

Have you guys been looking at the E3 demo? You can download it at the GRAW website, you should check it out, them come back an bow deep for this game _o_ ;)

[HellFire]

http://www.gamer.nl/nieuws/29420 the screenshots again.

[Evan]

hey hellfire, in the preview you got for GRAW, does it include multiplayer? if so, what kind of options do you have in the online mode? and do you have any other game previews?

I cant wait to get this game, i think i am going to preorder it on play.com

[Aift]

I am going to pre-order it tonight at my local "GameStop"....Evan you should just go to a retail store a pre-order it...Its the best thing to do.

Havn't completed the preview yet, but it will have multiplayer yes. I will tell you when I finished it.

I got the preview of Football Manager 6 by the way... and Fight Night Round 3.

Soon Burnout 4 btw. :D

Football Manager 6? What is that?...And you can stop showing off about you getting games and playing them before they come out. Don't be a asshole:-(

[Curry]

Football Manager 2006 (http://www.xboxic.com/news/155) :)

[Nino]

Can't wait for the demo, I'm not gonna buy it because I'm short on cash and it's not my genre but I'm really excited on the demo. And my friends drooling at the graphics ;)

[Bryer]

yummy yummy for my tummy. Me wants!

[HellFire]

Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter preview (http://www.gamer.nl/viewdoc/2144) is online by teh way. Dutch only though, just use babelfish if you're a non-dutchie and really interested. ;)

[Aift]

Well, it is good to know someone is going to be living on the demo for the next 8 months. Well all i can tell you is good luck with that, dude:P

[Nino]

Hehe thanks ;). By 8 months the game will probably retail for a lower price and I'll prolly have it by then (if I like the demo that is) but I'm saving my money for other games. Don't know wich ones though 8)7

[cybermans]

I think this game will be one of the best selling xbox 360 games. This game will be cool (at least my sources say it is :P )

[blazin]

Anyone know when this game is actually due? I keep hearing march 7th and the 9th but don't know which is the exact date.

[Nino]

This (http://www.xboxic.com/news/316) is what Ubisoft said, I guess that's for the US... I'll look into it tommorrow :)

[Curry]

March 9th is official for US, but that's usually shipping date from the publisher. Expect retailers to have it 10th or 11th.

Big question for me is whether the demo is going to happen or not before its release.

[Curry]

Good thing btw that it is released next week, hopefully I'll finally have that fubar project at my work finished by that time :X And I still haven't completed Condemned and Kameo, where do I find the time ;(

Ditch the bitch... voila a couple of extra hours :*

[HellFire]

Few more days to finish my review. I think I'm going to give it an 9,2. :P

[Curry]

Better OP and (home-made) pics coming soon.
You promised us a better OP over 2 weeks ago... we're still waiting :+

[HellFire]

You promised us a better OP over 2 weeks ago... we're still waiting :+

Woops. :*)

[Chris]

I need this game.

[Nino]

I own this game. :*)

(fell for the hype, bought it this afternoon and I won't stop playing it until I have to. So don't expect any articles on the frontpage from me the next couple of days, im hooked! ;)

[Curry]

Bitch. Go write a review.

[Nino]

I've copied some replies from another thread;

Don't have the game yet but I know you can disable respawning altogether at least to get CS-style gameplay.

Yeah you can but rounds take alot longer than CS rounds.

Is that one of the things that can be configured when you're setting up a game? I think there's a lot of things like that which you can tweak.

There are so many options, really good effort from Ubisoft!

[Ponder416]

Freakn EB hast gotton the shipment in yet...Im so ready to get my hands on this game...

[Chris]

It lives up to the hype completely.

[mutigen]

i have got some interesting game behavior to comment on. if anyone gets a chance let me know if this is supposed to happen, or if something similar has happened to you.

i finished level 1 "contact" on normal difficulty, got my 25 point achievement for rescuing ramirez on normal difficulty. then i went back to the campaign menu, selected missions, and then played the same level on hard to get the rescued ramirez on hard difficulty 25 point achievement, played all the way through on hard, got double a+'s for marks, and not only did i not get the 25 point achievement, but none of my play showed up in my stat page. does this mean you have to start a new game on hard to get the achievement... i assume so, and i am going to do so right now, but be aware if you want those hard difficulty achievement points...

-- mu

[Curry]

Hmm that sounds fubar? I'll most certainly keep it in mind when I got my copy (probably in a few hours :) )

[Ponder416]

It lives up to the hype completely.


In-freakn-deed...The game play is awesome, and the multiplayer in way over my expectations

One question did you have problems with the mounted machine gun on the 2nd mission in the Helicopter? It keeps over heating and I keep dying. Any tips would help.

[Nino]

Review coming up :)

[Nino]

Review (http://www.xboxic.com/news/401) up ;)

[Chris]

I just didn't hang on the trigger the whole time, only use it when you have to. Also, pull the trigger a little before you actually need it sense it makes a few revolutions before bullets start flying out. It's all about timing.

[Rival24]

Omg u guys, you should try xbox live, it's awesome :D

[Ponder416]

Thanks, for the tip. Yea that was my problem I was getting into it so much I couldn’t take my finger off the trigger. There’s nothing like the sound of 1,000 rounds in your surround sound...

Omg u guys, you should try xbox live, it's awesome

No its Freakn awesome, but I could hardly find any ranked games going there where just coop.

[pwm]

No its Freakn awesome, but I could hardly find any ranked games going there where just coop.

Altough some of us were lucky: The official release is today.

Don't be worried, within a couple of days, you'll have lots of Online games to choose from :)

[mutigen]

yeah, looks like you have to have two separate campaigns going to get the normal and hard difficulty achievement points, and no, you do not get the normal points when you complete it on hard. weird.

[Curry]

[Rival24]

They force you to play the game at least twice :P

[Studley]

How freaking good is this game 8) 8)

I've never, ever jumped as much as when the embassy exploded near the start, I remember the explosion in the really early trailer but this is somewhere completely different, I actually literally shouted out loud and no game has made me do that in years _o_

Ghost AI isn't amazingly brilliant, I lost count of how many times I had to heal one of my guys during the Ambush mission - he kept walking out into the square and getting shot, so I layed down a couple of smoke grenades so I could get in their and repair him. I moved him back to safety and two seconds later he's out in the open, on the floor again :(

It's already pretty tough on Normal - hit-wise, probably about the same as COD2's Veteran - so I can't imagine how hard it's going to be on Hard afterwards...

[Curry]

I had to do the part where you have to defend the blown up embassy about 15 or 20 times :X I don't want to know how that's going to be on Hard.

[Nino]

I had to do the part where you have to defend the blown up embassy about 15 or 20 times :X I don't want to know how that's going to be on Hard.

It wouldn't be that hard if I had some ammo...

[Curry]

I had myself and the whole team at yellow health there already, didn't help too.

[cybermans]

tsk tsk I am now at the enemy camp. Lub those apaches

[Chris]

I had to do the part where you have to defend the blown up embassy about 15 or 20 times :X I don't want to know how that's going to be on Hard.

What a bitch of a map. That pissed me off almost more than anything ever.

[Chris]

Also, the map where you blow up the communications tower and wait for the helicopter to come. Both were bitches.

[BliZ]

What a game! I´m glad Nino convinced me to get this, I love it! _o_ live with my homie nino and the xboxic crew are great too!

[Grady Durden]

This game is great. Anyone who wants to do some multiplayer send me a friend request and we'll get a game in!

[Curry]

Last night we were doing some great frigging multiplayer on the campaigns with 7. Good role assignments, good teamwork, everyone with the headset giving orders... rock on, that's how a tactical shooter should be :)

[Nino]

And that all toke place around 3AM, we rule ;)

[Chris]

I'm adding all these people from xboxic to my friends list tonight. Should be fun.

[Studley]

I've just added a batch of people too.

I'm off on holiday on Friday, so any night before then would be excellent for some tactical warfare!

[Ponder416]

I'm adding all these people from xboxic to my friends list tonight. Should be fun.

please do, that will keep me from having to do quick match searches.

[Nino]

I was wondering how you can get the Falcon achievement (Shoot down 100 helicopters in multiplayer). What game mode and type or map?

I believe it's Team Territory. If you set the mode to Team Territory you can switch helicopters on and off in the game type thingy.

[Ponder416]

hellz yeah I'll be tryn that one tonight....

[Curry]

I'll probably be in after CSI :P

[Nino]

I'll probably be in after CSI :P
Ancient episode, I can spoil it for ya so you can join the rest for some GRAW? Anyway, I'm AFK tonight :(

[Studley]

Good game tonight guys, even if I did sort of draw the short straw by being on a team where one guy stood still by the beach for most of the match, and the other guy had a screaming baby about 2ft from his microphone :P

It was my first time multiplayer so I don't really know the maps yet, but how come the red team had a helicopter? Did we have one hiding somewhere too? It seemed that I was spending half of my time fighting off the chopper rather than trying desperately to break down your defences on my own...

[Nino]

Haha that baby was annoying in the lobby. we got owned pretty bad with Team Elimination. You get the chopper when you conquer the territory in the middle (the second round was Team Territory). It was my first time playing Team Territory but it was alot of fun, I'll def. play that mode more! :)

[Studley]

I also seem to be desperately in need of some Dutch lessons :+

[Chris]

I also seem to be desperately in need of some Dutch lessons :+


Same here buddy.

[Curry]

Too bad I couldn't join in, had a visitor until 1am :(

And to all the people who were accusing me of playing alone all that time: I had paused the game because I was over halfway to a checkpoint ;)

[Nino]

Hehe I tried to speak english but as soon as the rest joined it got out of hand, sorry.

[Curry]

Funny bug in the game (http://youtube.com/watch?v=P3zMT9mk-hw). Apparently you can't go prone on night levels or something, although I've done that a lot of times 8)7

[Studley]

I've had that before, on the castle level where you're inside the zone that jams your communications.

It happens if you're prone, and then switch stance just as the game saves at a checkpoint. When you reload, your character is upright, but they're still in the "prone" position. If you click the L trigger, it fixes itself.

[Mufloon]

Hi all! First post here... joined in because of Curry hinting at this forum.

One thing that I was wondering about was the Kill Cam. Do you have that on or off the most of the time? I find it very nice if you don't have any (or limited) respawns -- you get that nice "Oh shit why didn't I see him there?!" feeling ;). But when you have infinite respawns, it seems kind of... cheap? Last night I played my first GRAW online session, and in one game mode that cam was on. Since you always respawn, you can just get your sniper rifle and plant a bullet between the other sniper's face because you exactly know where he is. :?

[Studley]

The Kill Cam's not perfect, it zooms in on the spot where the killer WAS (so if they've moved, it zooms in on a blank space).

If it's on, and I kill someone, I always reposition myself in case the person I killed comes back for me.

find it very nice if you don't have any (or limited) respawns -- you get that nice "Oh shit why didn't I see him there?!" feeling .

Yeah, that's brilliant, happened to me a couple of times last night.

I always have it on, I wouldnt want snipers getting away with cheap shots time after time. It forces you to get creative with your gameplay etc. I'd get really pissed if I had to run around a level getting shot time after time to find a sniper.

(oh btw I have a serious GRAW addiction, I can't wait to get home and play some Rocky Cove)

The correct term for a sniper who doesn't relocate frequently after the kill is "camper" ;)

Nice one... I didn't think of it like this. Funny how a single good argument can change a perception from "annoying" to "brilliant" :). If a sniper should choose to stay in the same spot, he deserves being spotted more easily.

I'm on the edge of addiction myself. Going home in 45 minutes, scoop some dinner and off we go! Hope to see some of you guys online in the upcoming hours...

If the killcam followed the sniper instead of the spot he was shooting from I would turn it off I think, that would be cheap :). I'll add you to my friendslist, I'm like the resident host overhere (sometimes Messiah hosts but he's made it very clear that is is NOT pro yesterday on IRC). I get off in an hour and a half but I'll be AFK from 7PM till 11PM or something (GMT+1).

Im not really into tactical shooters but all this talk about how good this game is is gonna make me go pick this game up on my lunch break today. Tired of waiting on cod2, just want to play a good shooter for a change. It will take me a day or two to get good enough to play online but once I get on there Ill try and look some of yall up. I just hope there arent any spawn killin b****** on there:-(

[Curry]

Cheers and be prepared to be addicted :Y)

There are spawn killers btw, but just make sure you got a good friends list to play with :)

[Ponder416]

there will always be spawn camping in shooter, to many kid with no SKILLS...

[Curry]

"Unyielding" is mine muhahah.

[Danfoss]

What is the exact definition of spawn camping?
To me it seems spawncamping is camping AT the enemy spawn point to instantly kill them when somebody spawns.
But is camping in the field to snipe everyone who walks a certain route away from a spawn point also seen as spawn camping?

I had my first go at GRAW mp yesterday (played 6 hours in a row :) ) and i must say it is fun, but i haven't seen alot of tactital games yet. Played alot of siege and hamburger hill. Most of the time it's everyone for itself. I get the feeling that most people don't know the objectives and/or maps yet. I still need more time to get to learn the maps better.
What i do miss in the mp maps is that there is no map in mexico city?

[Aift]

I picked this game up at it's launch, and I had so-much fun...I swear... I am working on the 8 hour achievement.

Nah, as long as you get a chance to defend or pick your route it's not spawn camping. Spawn camping means picking people off before they get a chance to shoot back or run :)

And you need to get your headset connected bro ;)

Some people in that game do need to get their headet connected!

I bought an HDTV in the weekend, and I must say... WOW :9~! I didn't expect the difference to be that big! All texts are perfectly readable now (previously had an old CRT TV), and I'm still complete baffled by the amount of detail you see. Now the PIP crosscom screens are actually useful! Sniping someone who's for away also works way better since you can accurately pinpoint the victim's head better.

I was sursprised, I must say. It seems like an advantage as well, because you can simply see things clearer, thus allowing a quicker and appropriate reaction.

[Curry]

I've been wondering about this too. Especially in PGR3 I was having troubles in not being able to see far enough ahead to anticipate everything, and HD resolutions can actually give you that little bit of detail on the horizon extra. And for things like headshots you simply have double the amount of pixels now on the same head to aim for.

Entirely true. I omitted that because it was the GRAW thread ;), but in PGR3 I easily won a night race on the hardest level, on the first try. Before I was struggling to finish third, because I couldn't judge the corners in the dark. Next to that do the cars look absolutely jaw-dropping in Vegas at night... Again, the difference between HD and SD is, especially when switching from older CRT TVs, unbelievable.

[Rival24]

I have to say, playing in highdef is a delight. You can indeed shoot somebody in the head like Curry said instead of shooting at some pixels on top of the body. I recently bought Burnout 3 (of which you read the review right here (http://www.xboxic.com/news/476)), and comparing that to the original Xbox version, it's actually much easier now, I don't crash into blurry oncoming traffic anymore. HDTV FTW!

[Mufloon]

To go a little bit further offtopic O-): I see you played Feeding Frenzy in your gamercard. Did you by any change also get the message that the display settings should be put to PAL60? Downloaded it yesterday, but it won't let me play it. My tv says it's running at 1280x720 @ 60Hz, yet the game thinks it's at 50Hz... All other games don't complain at all. :?

I didn't have any problems with it, but I've heard about this problem from other users with different games. There is a solution in this newspost (http://www.xboxic.com/news/369). I don't really know if it works, but it's worth a try. I'm using a VGA cable instead of component by the way.

ps: next time open a new thread for this plz :P

Back to topic:

Just about made it threw the game on Hard, and it seems that I had a harder time tryn to beat the damn thing on normal...Was just wondering if you guys felt the same. Still fun as hell though.

Anybody playn any ranked games? and if so what your favorite mission type?

[Curry]

I've only done the first mission on hard so far, and it was indeed easier than on normal. On Normal I spent 3/4 of the mission fiddling with controls and strategies though, that might be the reason ;)

Get through more of the missions, you'll notice that the Enemy AI is much more accurate with headshots, so you'll be dying more. It really pisses you off. :D

I did a couple of missions on hard now and I play like John Rambo. Seems to work out fine, only a couple of times i got ventilated by some noobdude.

It really pisses you off. :DOn the second mission you start in the helicopter. Then you get attacked, the chopper dives into the street, and you have to start shooting as it rises above the rooftops again. On Normal this was relatively easy.

Then I tried it on Hard. Chopper got attacked. Chopper flew up towards the rooftops. It passed the edge. I started to aim in the direction where I knew the first rebels would appear and pressed the right trigger. As the gun started spinning I died instantaneous of a headshot. Without ever having seen one single rebel or having shot one single bullit 8)7

That was frustrating :+

Which online mode has the helicopters in it? I thought I read somewhere that there was helicopters that you could use but maybe im wrong. I love the gameplay and the fact that there is no lag....but im still getting battlefield bec. of the lack of drivable vehicles and aircraft.

Team Territory

Team Territory- Hamburger Hill...

Hell yea Curry that Helicopter mission and the begining(hard) I died in that same spot 5 time in a row, I was starting to wonder how to get past that single part. I did notice that if you change your camera view to 1st person while on the Helicopter missions it helps alot!!

I don't want to bring anyone down, but is anyone experiencing an audio glitch? I can't hear my own weapons fire in campaign anymore. Anyone else?

[burriel9]

Yes- it happened twice. I played this afternoon and it worked fine. Just wanted to know if I was alone in this problem.

[Curry]

Actually your post reminded me of Geometry Wars, which has a tendency to shut off the music if you play it 5 or more times in a row. Haven't experienced anything like that in another game though, sorry :)

Happened to me a few times while playn on hard. Just get to a checkpoint/save and restart your console.

I really can't wait for the 2nd chapter in the Co-op campain. Damn does this game rule OR WHAT!

I guess this game is my favo so far :)

More coop :9~ :9~ :9~

[Ponder416]

Will there be more coop?

Has anybody lost a rank while playn ranked games? I seem to have miss placed my rank some where could you find it?

[Curry]

Will there be more coop?
Proof a) missions are number 1-1 to 1-4. Where are chapters 2 to 10?
Proof b) there are achievements missing to get to 1000gp
Proof c) a mission pack is 'expected' (http://www.xboxic.com/news/413)

:)

[Rival24]

Condemned hasn't got 1000 gp either :o

[Nino]

Don't forget PGR3

[Curry]

a) and c) were stronger proof admittedly ;)

totally agree..the best part of this game is having 4 of your friends do the co-op missions together. What a riot that is. I hope they do like 10 more chapters. Those first 4 are just not enough.

Like I said before, I'd pay big-ass for 10 more chapters :9~
