Re: Official GRAW impressions thread

I hate the drone in online play... it sucks... But in campain mode it is essential to your survival

Fine. Shoot it out of the air and problem solved

Re: Official GRAW impressions thread

Why does it suck?
I love it. It adds even more strategy to the game, and helps locate those that like to camp.

I think it sucks because it takes the strategy out of the game... It like having the IFF on for Enemies...

It actually helps the campers more than it does people that dont camp...

I comes back after you shoot it out of the air... depending on how long it is set to respawn...

I don't see how it takes the strategy out of the game, or how it helps campers.

If one guy is sitting in the same spot, flying the drone around, he's likely to be spotted by the other team's drone. At least that's the way I look at it.

Also, take Siege as an example. For the team that is on defense, you can fly the drone out into the middle of the map, and it'll help give you an idea of which direction the enemy might be attacking from.

From someone who has never gotten into shooters of any kind on any generation system...

I'm just gonna say...WOW!!

This game is intense!!

I'm still getting the controls down, but this is addictive. Hope to go online soon.

I guess we beg to differ.... But I am used to playing Summit Strike online with no drones...

I'm still not sure how to use it. My online friend was explaining it to me, but I was too busy figuring out the other controls.

Re: Official GRAW impressions thread

I finally get online with you guys and was following someone blindly and got killed within 50 seconds haha. Cant tell I am new to this game huh? And then the GF comes in and I have to turn off the game. Haha I hope to actually play for more than 50 seconds (if it was even that) next time.

Re: Official GRAW impressions thread

I have a simple question.....When playing single player mission, when you send your guys to an area, do they all always go together, I can't seem to figure out how to send each guy to a place by themselves, I just wanted know do they always go together or is there a way to send each guys to a different spot on the map? If so tell me how to do it......LOL

I don’t think you can intentionally separate your comrades in Single Player Campaign. The only way this happens if one or a couple of them move toward a different direction while engaging in combat or if they’re dying on the ground after getting shot.

How do you use the drone Online? I cannot figure it out...

First you must select the drone by pressing left/right on the D-pad. You know you have selected it when you see it showing in the upper left corner of your TV screen. Next, go to your map with the Back button. Move the small blue X on your screen to an area, then press up on the D-pad to move the drone to that location. Now the drone is on its way to that spot. You can also press down on the D-pad to bring it back to you if necessary.

In Multiplayer mode the drone always stay low, so you don’t have to worry about raising or lowering it like what can be done with the left bumper in Single Player Campaign mode.

When it says LOC WAYPOINT, what does that mean?

Re: Official GRAW impressions thread

This is easily the greatest game that I've ever played online.

Last night. We were playing Siege in the desert that is nothing but trenches. We were attacking. I found a really good path to take, where it was likely that nobody else would see me, or come from behind and attack. They'd come around the corner, and I'd take them out, lol. Then I started trying to talk to my teammates, and there was NObody left. Looked up on the screen, and there were still 4 of their guys left. So I kept going towards their base.

Tossed a grenade over a small embankment, and took out somebody. Crawled on over the little rise... set up, and sniped somebody. Kept sneaking around. Got all the way to the complete right of their base. Turned around, seen somebody coming back up the middle of the map. Took them out. So now, it's 1 on 1. Steve was the only guy left. You know how that must have felt for him to have everybody stop talking too, and not know where the guy was coming from, lol.

So I make my way on behind the base, and go down to the complete left. I get him in my scope, pull the trigger... FREAK... reload. In the mean times, he makes his way out of my point of view, so I just figure I'll go for it and try to get in to the base. I run over, get into the base... had to have been there for at least 3 seconds... BAM. Shot right in the back of the head :y4:

That was the most intense gaming experience for me ever.

When it says LOC WAYPOINT, what does that mean?

Location Waypoint. It's a reference arrow that points to the location of the chosen waypoint from the map display onto the field. The waypoint can be assigned to a comrade or to any open spot on the field. It’s a useful feature that can help one to get around if he/she is not too familiar with the area.
