I've been thinking the same, I just have to remove the stange need to collect orbs and blow up cars from my mind.....

Anyway, I'll be up for a few rounds of GRAW2, and it's best experienced coop from game 1.

16.

I only have 750k "up" so on GRAW1 this means 7 players.

If anyone has and ADSL2+ line and can manage to host tonight, I think they should be able to host 12.

Only person I know with 1.5meg up is SOI and he doesn't normally play GRAW. Maybe tonight he could host?

EDIT: Mods, maybe these last posts should get moved to the online gaming session?

I don't think I can play tonight, but I'd be happy to host at some point this week. I'll dl the demo for sure.

That's great SOI, maybe you can drop a line on the online thread when a day suits you, so we can try out the game with more players!

I've never tried on a 1.5 line, so it will be fun to see.

I knew it wasn't gonna be a good session when the Ubi screen was stuttering right off the bat and then these amazing scenes:

Its a real beauty and at that speed you get a chance to soak up all that amazing lighting before cussing out the French, sobbing and switching the damn thing off!!!!

That's a lovely slideshow

I think it was 14 minutes and something like 5 or 6 bugs in the end wasn't it?

OK, let me take my pissed with Ubi cap off and be objective.

The game looks great, higher res models and superb smoke and fire.

The game still plays great, lots of tactics and places to snipe/nade.

The new guns are superb.

The game has serious bugs*

*But can these be connection related?

For my 8Mb/750k line it has been:

GRAW chapter 1 = Max 8 players (Except Old Town)
GRAW chapter 2 = Max 7 players (Except River)

GRAW chapter 3 = Max 5 players?????

Bugs after 12 minutes play:

Demo doesn't always remember "Favorite" Gun
Frame drops to 2pfs now and then
No Sound effects for players on first 2 rounds
Player can not move when lots of on screen explosions
AI shooting through walls

These could be connection based, so I am up for trying a 5 man server next time, or maybe SOI will post when he has time to try a 10 man on his line.
