Anyone else find GRAW very difficult?

Kainz · 23 Jul 2006 at 20:20

What got me about the game was the targetting reticule moved so slowly that I found it too frustrating. I ended up going into first person mode to get a quicker movement speed.

I took my time and used various obsticles as a shield. My squad were useless for the most part. On one occasion I was about to fire a grenade at a car in which baddies were hidden behind. Lo and behind mr.squad member runs in front of me just as I fire...

Not really worth a new thread...but where are the helicopters in multiplayer? Yes, I'm achievement hunting, but I like to do things the hard way (like I completed the 'Perfect chapter 1' achievement on my lonesome!).

From another forum:

1.make a PUBLIC match for 2 people
2.change the game settings to solo territory
3.make a custom type: infinite respawns, victory-time, and zone- cental helo
4.set the map to desert gulch(easiest one to do it on)
5.set time for 60 mins
6.after you do this get a friend and start the match
7.the helicopter will spawn in the same place everytime so just pick the rocket launcher and kill it six times; after this your partner will shoot you with his pistol and then he kills it 6 times
8. repeat this SEVERAL TIMES

Ive been doing the game again on hard lately.. got to about the 6th mission.. and its really proving difficult to do some bits without being hit once... But quite rewarding when you do them.

No problems with the chopper bits for me but I'm stuck trying to make it to the top of the castle. There are such long periods between checkpoints. It's Far Cry-annoyingness all over again. :mad:

I find that some parts of the game are a little tricky but in general i haven't really been stuck at any point, only playing it on Normal difficulty though

Just wait until you get to the top (and then the bottom of the castle) you will wish you hadn't bothered. J/k

I found any point where there were jammers to be ****ing rediculious. I'm sorry but why is there static covering my screen? I'm a human not a cyborg, so my crosscom does not work, explain to me why my eyes do not either. All pix of the ghosts show only one eye covered by the cross com and why can these marines not remove the cross com?, its bad enough that they get stumped by a low wall or a high ledge. I mean ffs why cant you fall a 2 foot drop off a ledge? and why is it the best marines the US DOD can produce can not even get over a piket fence? Lets not go into the fact that after years and years of specialest training they are completely inept at throwing grenades and have to in fact stand still before doing so.

Oh and my eyes don't work but my night goggles do WTF???!!!! (jammer related)

And when the drone descends how is it that every enemy seems to see it instantly. The thing is silent and future technology. Are the Mexican terrorists busy getting a sun-tan or something. In mp games it is rare that I notice that there is a drone above my head, unless I look at the map (which is on my crosscom, which the Mexicans do not have).

Then there are levels where such as the castle level where they want us to disable anti air craft SAMS. WTF, Cruise Missiles. This is 2020 or something. Surely we can Nuke it from space! I did not need to be wasting my time with that **** I had a president to save a football to collect, and a dozy terrorist to capture.

Also **** Spoiler warning****

How the **** did that terrorist leader manage to escape. I mean FFS I have not even seen Jack Bauer escape from handcuffs easily yet. Did they even use them on this guy? It almost seems like they just popped him in the chopper and said, "sit still". I'd have had the guy trussed up like Hannibal lecter in silence of the lambs. How could the ghosts possibly be part of an elite military unit with that sort of **** up happening?

/****Spoiler******

Taking this game too seriously, you bet I am!

I'm having trouble with the level where you take out the mobile AA. Basically I can manage to blow up the first AA OK, but I always lose health when manning the 50 cal against the apc or whatever it is, which means I'm always killed really easily at the next stage (where you encounter the jammer for the first time ). When does your health get replenished in this part of the game, as I keep having to replay it to try to get through without my health taking a hit...
