GRAW2 Official Online Thread - arrange games here

[Paulos G]

Sheesh! Wasn't expecting this thread to have...um..."blossomed" so rapidly! It's a right bother not being able to get on at work anymore.

I'm sticking with the weapon I came to know and love from GRAW 1 - the M468SD. So rifleman duties for me (although I can use the M468SD as a sniper rifle too). Or I could use the M468SD with G/L attachment if required. It's a great gun.

Looking forward to this evening. I have a feeling in my bones that there may well be a new TK champion crowned.

Now, just got to persuade Mrs G that we need a fridge in the gaming room...

Most enjoyable session last night. We managed to complete every co-op mission perfectly.

And what's more, I didn't Team Kill anyone. Well, not accidently.

Big THANKS to Capcom for being the host with the most!

Right, off to work now so no more NTSC till I get home.

Morning.

Thanks PG. That was a great session last night. With 10 players in two teams it seems the maps give way to the NTSC-uk "Massive" and we seemed to do a reasonable job of controlling the AI, but we still only "Just" made it on a few maps, so plenty more tactics to be had.

The bugs on "Locks" are a royal PITA, but now we know. Everyone stays back, and one person at a time moves forward until someone can place the tracker. That needs fixing ubi!

Otherwise great, had some real good firefights too last night. Sort of feels a bit like BF2, but coop. Really fun.

Connection wise, apart from a MP crash on the second map, I don't remember much of an issue. Stigo needed to be reinvited for the last map, and it certainly doesn't take more than the mere hint of "Restart" to get the TK juices going! LOL



I'm not 100%, but I think Spags finally managed to play some GRAW coop, as the new line seemed to be kind to his connection.

[talizker]

Well that was just superb, online gaming at its very best. Respect to CS for his peachy connection and to all the NTSC-uk crew for making it such a sublime experience.

[PeteJ]

Aye that was sublime, can't believe we managed to complete every map!

Now, helihunt

I just knew Locks was gonna get done when I wasnt there

I had to check out this site since I`ve been playing with you guys for a while.
Great game last night! I really enjoyed the Monty Python style countdown discussion on Caldera and of course the following TK of PG and Gerry. LOL

[spagmasterswift]

Welcome to the suck!

Wow, I didn't get kicked or even have any lag - just a top nights online gaming with a bunch of quality people. I did hold back for while at the start on mute but tbh I don't even think that's needed with Caps new UberConnection.

Love the healing of team mates and the new maps are great - even though we did storm through them ALL pretty easily

Highlights for me were watching Gerry aggressively attacking while low on ammo (very tense) and his antics with Paulos (funniest end to a session yet). Firing above Caps head into the car park while he tried to get a nade off (inches from a TK there). The synchronised count down followed by Paulos killing himself. Running behind Paulos as he 'leads the way' to the extraction point as the missile strike is counting down Basically Paulos!!XD

Cheers for the games, I hope we continue with it now all maps have been perfected - I've only just started to use grenades >_<

Hey "Halloen" Raggen. Nice to see another Norwegian on the boards.

Now you can see that the guys are just as nuts on a forum, as they are on live!

Long live Smokey jims!

Velkommen til NSTC mate, nice to have you here.

Now go look at the trading area (When your account is allowed) and see how much used games are supposed to cost!

Experience from GRAW1 shows that the game just gets better and better. Understanding and finishing the maps by a whisker is stage 1.

Getting our **** down and OWNING the maps, being able to premept each other and sticking to a good plan is where the game comes into it's own, and as the game gets older your number of players will reduce as the points hos have had enough and like minded peeps just feel like a "session" on a Monday evening.

Was a really nice atmosphere last night, and the Gerry/PG anticts were highly amusing.

Good stuff this live, and the game really does shine when you have so many decent people online. The fact Raggen had to sign up due to the game says it all really.

Its nice to have a bunch of people who love to play the game without being all fanatic about it. My fellow norwegians seems to prefer playing games with their mikes turned off. That`s definetly not the case with you NTSC players
This is the way online gaming should be. Respect to you guys

[NoelEdwards]

I enjoyed last night. I'll be around Friday night if anyones playing.

[tbm]

indeed, was a lot of fun, 10 really is the sweet spot when it comes to squad numbers. was good taking raggen, spatial etc on a fire team patrol to clear the bottom part of the map on the cut while the rest of the team took care of business beside the first AA placement. was a golden GRAW moment for sure.

also came in handy having more bods during one of the locks missions.. i thought the right hand side was clear but raggen bagged a bad guy that i`d missed. nice work fella.

we really do need to try the ultimate defend for ****s & giggles one night. 60 minutes without dying ?

[PeteJ]

From what I've read of the 60 minute challenge, it gets rock hard in the last ten minutes. Can imagine it being a right biatch to play!
