    Since I just started playing, need some info on GRAW.

    I played the ever loving crap out of this game last night, the multiplayer is very addictive. A few things I wanted to get cleared up for me though.

    Is it normall protocol to play not miced, and to stay quiet the entire time? There were dozens upon dozens of matches I played last night where our whole team never spoke a GD word.

    I sometimes would rarely get with a team who would talk to one another as to where the enemy was, where to cover fire etc... But that was uncommon and not the norm. It also seemed from time to time my mic was not working and I would have to unplug and replug it.

    I was dropping a ton last night as well, is this normall? I kept getting disconnected over and over again. Eventually I'd get in a good match, and we kept playing same teams match after match against one another. But as a whole, I was dropping like crazy last night. Pissed me the F off.

    I still dont understand the way to invite or get invited to a friends match as well. I was a bit overwhelmed since last night was my first full night playing GRAW multiplayer, I died a ton, but managed about 14 or so kills through the night. I learned to almost always stay crouched, or prone. Hardly ever walked "tall" or upright if you will.

    I also noticed that me and my kid can do ala Halo II and both sign in together in multiplayer, sweet! Bad thing was, we dropped almost every time as two guys on live on the same 360. Anyone else play this way and experience something similar. I was thinking my DSL could be having bandwidth problems sending and receiving two live players in the same game at once (although this was never an issue in Halo II).

    Any and all information or help is highly appreciated in advance.

    There have been issues lately with server stability. We had no problems hosting 16 after the game released, but lately we've been seeing a lot of people dropping. I've never had any issues with my mic not working, but I've heard others complain about it. That might be a bug.

    Join our sessions...everyone's talking! I'm hoping to play some tonight.

      I'm in, I'll join you guys for sure, if you are on and see me, look me up. I played last night for about 5 or 6 hours straight! Thats even through all the drops.




      BTW on the mic thing, its strange. I unplug, replug, unplug, replug. It works great one second, then it doesnt later.

      I tried hosting and I found a few things out, for instance..... you as the host have the abilities to shut off your teams mics, or your enemies mics, or both. So I may just be joining games where the host has em' turned off.

        I'll play tonight.

        Just as long as I'm not on Bolt's team, he'll threaten to come to my house and beat me up. :y4:

          I have yet to play an OSer or DSPer since I got it and it is insanely fun online. I see most OS & DSP guys have moved on from GRAW. I'll be playing this bad boy online for months, as I did with Halo II. This is much more fun that Halo II online multiplayer in my opinion.

            I think some people just don't talk while playing or maybe their mic/headset is broken.

                            There is absolutely a bug on the communication end.

                            It lasts (usually) through an entire online session.

                            the only way to fix it is to reboot and rejoin a game (and sometimes that does not work).

                            I get it quite often (can't hear anyone nor can they hear me.)
