As far as songle player goes, I love the graphics. They look great. THe HDR looks cool, although I think they may have gone a little bit overboard with it. Sometimes you go from bright white to pitch black, and the human eye is more responsive than that. Luckily you can adjust brightness.

Dislikes -

1 - I said it before release, and now I'll say it after release. I can't believe they would release such a gorgeous game with such a hideous case of tearing. What happened to vsync. The tearing is nil in some parts, and in others it simply removes the illusion of smooth motion completely. When you are on the helicopter the tearing is so pronounced it looks like you are under water or something. Major foul IMO.

2 - The controls sometimes feel really sticky, and it is difficult to make small adjustments. Maybe it takes some getting used to, but COD2 was silky smooth, and very easy to control.

3 - It seems like the drone is a hit or miss type of device. At first when it had me try to locate ramirez it was literally a crap shoot. Luckily the command found him and sent us to the right place.


Likes -

1 - I love the depth of control. Once you get used to it it seems as though it would be really intuitive to move around without even thinking about it.

2 - the graphics. need I say more.

3 - The sound is incredible. This is an area that truly feels upgraded. The sound is now part of how you navigate which is awesome.

4 - the color shifts that give you intensity regarding situational feedback. very cool, and very intensifying.

5 - The connection of levels by the chopper stages.

6 - It's ghost recon. Although so far the playability is diminished from the original titles. The lack of smooth control and amount of frame tearing really pull me out of the simulation.



So for those who sworre I was overreacting by pointing out the tearing before release...and those who assured me it would be absent from the final release, the tearing is about as bad and worse than I imagined. In some spots even worse than PD0.

Sorry for the bitching. The motion issues are really a major letdown for me. I get annoyed after about an hour of play.

Oh yeah, what happened to FREE anti-aliasing? I remember reading that every game should have it, and so far I haven't seen any. You'll still find your jaggies here.

Seeing as people are posting Graw comments in atleast 3 threads, figured we could start one that doesnt deal with the release day

Let me start it off by saying its amazing, well worth the $60.00, and well worth the wait!

14 of 62 people on my Friends list are on Live, and ALL are playing GRAW

I'll probably get the game tomorrow. Don't know aobut Live, though. I want to have it subscribed with a credit card so I can buy other stuff too without getting point cards. In other words, I'll wait a very short while until I get my Gold account going. Unitl then, I may run on a trial account.

Other postings here are just about peoples issues and whatnot.

Here's a post just saying: holy crap, this game is fuckin nice!


Only the first level and I'm just so impressed already. Animation and graphics are so fluid, the music durring tension is fitting and the controls are really good. I as expecting the aiming to be blocky and unprecise, but none of that here!


Back to my game

and I was about to say that I hardly notice the tearing, lol

it doesnt detract from the presentation one but in my opinion. But it did irritate me in PD zero, go figure.

I love it all, they did a commendable job by delaying it and polishing a game up that primarily runs on ancient dev kits. Ive posted too much in the last 10 minutes, Im ignoring the game, adios!!!!

Umm, I dont think Ive seen any jaggies yet. I havent looked but they havent jumped out at me either, so thats also a non issue, and coming from me, that means a lot

http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=496121

you posted 1 minute after me

back 2 the game!!

Fun game, got it at like 10 o clock this morning and have been playing all day

this game is most definitely sweet.

holly hell i couldnt imagine anyone having a perfect gamer score on this game, at least not for a LONG LONG time that is.

the thunder at the dry docks made me jump.

the ghraphics are pretty damn good, and the game play is the sh%t.

I dont have xblive gold, but the game came with 48 hour trial card, which is great b/c im going out of town in 2 days, ill be back in a week, and ill have a paycheck to renew live at that time.


anyway- im off to a meeting, then do some homework, then play GRAW all night long

I got off work at 3:00 today and picked up my reserved copy and here I sit playing it.



Excellent game. I havent tried the multi but once I throughly destroy the campaign Ill have at it.



Also Hard is where its at.

AHHH, Im trying so hard to get this game by days end.

Best buy is telling me i cant get it even though it is in their inventory and game stop is out of them.......

CRAP

I got a two day trial with mine, so you could at least try it out for two days if you got the card with it.

I'm sure to get this game later on today as Gamestop has my reservation.

If anyone is interested in joining up to kick some butt you have my Gamertag!

See you all in the WARZONE

money well spent, gonna check out the MP later if anyone wants to hit me up just add X-S to your FR

definitely worth it! Graphics are amazing and nightvision is super realistic. I love it when you arer in the chopper and u look left and u could see the pilots and great detail. This game is addicting and is imho the best strategic game. I love it. Still havent played on live though. I just cant play any games for more than 2 hours like i used to, i just get bored of every game for some reason now.



Advance forward!!!

my first 2 games were full of lag but i guess it could of been the host connection problem or something, LOL it was only 4 of us

so far the only gripe i have is i joined a solo match and there was 8 peeps playing and as i move around i seem to move at such a pace but as im trying to shoot someone its as if they are moving 4X faster than i am

but hopefully everyone will start using this thread since near every single topic on the front page is nothing but GRAW

i took a break to eat, im gonna give another go at in a few minutes

About the graphics, do they still have the "grainy filter effect"? Just curious.

Only slightly. Its worth a peek beleive me.



Everything looks crisp in hd to me.

hey guys, you dont mind if I'm adding those with xboxlive on my account do you? I need some friends to play MP

any body else notice the reflections in the windows on level 2?

Hey guys just picked up my copy today over at best buy. I went to Fry's because it was advertised at 47.99 and only to find out that they wont get it til tomorrow (thurs). Took my ad went to a local BB and got it priced match. So if any of you want to save a few dollars, just bring in a Fry's ad from this past sunday or tuesday newspaper and BB will price match them.

firing rant... i have died so many time not pulling the right trigger to 100%, i know a real gun trigger has to pulled pulled all the way back to fire, but on most games ive played you dont have to.. ill learn quick if i keep dieing

I thought outfit demo was fun until i played GRAW
NOW this is a reason to own a 360
looks 10x better than the trailers ..now back to GRAW

alright so, to all of you, this game sounds sweet as hell, and you're getting me hyped, and i'm really close to saying, "fuck it" and running out and buying it right now,... but i gotta ask....

i really don't like squad based games,...... will this game change my mind?

i can't stand having to worry about other AI ppl, i just want to run and shoot, i'm alright with having strategy and shit,... but i don't like controlling other shit besides myself,.... so, basically, will this game still be worth it to me if i really really am not a fan of squad based shooters?

i hate squad based games to, its pretty simplistic, you dont have to set up routes n shit, just have them aid you n such. like telling what target the helopter above you to fire on is awsome, i love this game


any one else have this yet

Unyielding (Multiplayer):
Got 30 kills before being killed in multiplayer

so far I love this game!! I got my copy in after I got out of class today and have been putting off studying for a midterm that is tomorrow because I've been playing it. I really like how intelligent my squad mates have been so far.

Played on live for awhile earlier and enjoyed it, but got my butt handed to me......one gripe is that some of the levels are way too dark...I'll have to adjust my screen's brightness in the future to fix that, but was wondering if any of you have thought some of the levels were too dark? Also if anyone wants to get together sometime to play just add me to your friends list (need some friends b/c none of my buds around here have 360s!).....my gamertag is stevieboy10 .....

i kno...i got this game today, defineity #1 xbox360 game so far...

I keep dying in the first mission because I'm in awe of the graphics.... I'm loving it!

this game is really awsome. im addicted... to bad i have school tomorrow or id be playing all night

i told ya'll this game was gonna be the shit no matter wah....

i did the training...wow...

got on the blackhawk...wow..

the city...wow...

the movements..wow

multiplayer..... speechless..

i got this game at 11am today and i barely got off at 8pm....i need to do some shit..

*for real stragety tactical players only *

gamertag JUSSAREN

i dont like the 1st person mode how it doesnt show your gun and i hate the wide screen thing in single player. i have bad eyes and with the black bars it makes the screen smaller so after like 30 min of playing my eyes are hurting like fucking hell

what do yall thing of the HDR?

^^slightly overdone but still looks good to me^^
Edit* hdr that is.

Someone said something like "what happened to the free AA?"...Wtf?... I was playing and was thinking "bout time they applied some AA" The only graphical problem I've seen was the v-sync debacle. Other than that it's beautiful. When v-sync is on in some games it really drags the fps down so I'm kinda glad they left it off. Slowdown is minimal so I'm happy.

i have noticed a glitch. twice now i join into a game and i cant hear anyone talk. but apparently they could here me.

restarted and it was fine

bah.. I bought GRAW.. but I'm on a business trip right now and don't got my 360 with me in the hotel.. Soo.. I got to wait till I get back home to play...

Uhh!!

My number one complaint at this point is the movement speed in multiplayer. You play single player, and movement is realistic, then you join a multiplayer game and everybody has rockets up their asses. In a game where one shot kills, the player speed should not be this high.

I'm sorry, but what is this "tearing" that you're speaking of?

-Thanks.

easily the number one 360 game, i love it!!!

the citys are just so spectacular looking...

The game is awsome!

And this is coming from someone who wasn't even a fan of the series.
It's got a touch of Full Spectrum Warrior to it, a game that I really loved.

The game is pretty tough....
And it might seem overwhelming to some in terms of controls but after a couple of hours into the game, you'll feel right at home. And once you get the hang of things, the game really gets fun.
I find this game very addicting. I mean only the great games keep me gaming for hours and wanting more when I put the controller down.

Everyone should at least give the game a try, and when and if you do,
make sure you play at least for a couple of hours....

Guah, went to EB and they were sold out, only had pre order copies left. Best Buy shut off their OPEN sign as I pulled into the parking lot, and all the Fred Meyers in the area dont even carry the game (expected... but had to try)

ah well...

IM damn pumped! what would you guys say to joining me on live when i get it

sure.. i would love to play with fellow scene members
add my tag

definitely a great game. played lots last man standing, and just spenmt the last couple hours playing some coop campaign, enemies are smart, they'll flank you when u least expect it. with a group of three the wharfs campaign mission took us like 5 tries. kept gettign to the end and dying.

got 16 gamer points for beating two tough missions ! lotta work for 16 points

I think this is the Best Console frontier of Games Ever. GRAW has proved 360
is truely a Winning Contender..this is by far the best Game hands down

I just picked the game up. Unfortunatly I am in the middle of moving. I probably won't have my 360 hooked back up unitl sunday.

Absolutly love the game... played for 9 hours straight last night... couple things i would have like to seen different..

1 - wall/obstacle cover in multiplayer

2 - the ability to get into a friends game if it's ranked

3 - nade throwing from single player in the multiplayer side (for some reason it's different and can't get the judgement down to a T. I either over throw my target or way under throw it.)

Just picked up G.R.A.W because everyone has given it such praise, and I got a bonus tuke with it which is kind of cool did anyone else get this?

I want that! send it to me!

sweet man where did u get that?
