** Official GR:AW Gameplay Thread **

First impressions are ok. Done the training and the first mission, get to the square on the second mission and either get shot in the head or blown up, not quite sure which :/

Already had a bug where the rest of the team is 'trapped' and cant follow me.

Theres also a hell of information on-screen to try and take in (with the outlines and pointers etc.), and the controls seem very complicated to start off with. The tactical map thing seems a bit poor as well.

Using the blackhawk is pretty cool though :D
 
Look sensitivity is nowhere near as high as I'd like it to be. You hear somebody approach you from behind and before you can fully turn to face them they've shot you.

Ive just had the opposite.
Me stuck against a building while my men just saunter about oblivious.
 
So who else has felt guilty when a team member died? That heart monitor sound was devestating. I couldn't get to the guy and I heard it getting faster and faster. I ran out trying desperately to get to him but he died just before I was able to help. Thats a really great feature. Less than 1hr in and I'm already *that* caught up in the game.

yeah , know what you mean.
The game has loads of good features , the cover being the best imo - way better than PD0 futile attempt.

Yer ditto for me, although I haven't looked in the options yet. Just started playing on Dry Dock with a mate :eek: omg I beleive Gears of War can happen now!
 
Have to say, the bits where you're above mexico city getting your briefing; just at the end where the music kicks in and you're flying over in the chopper...it's just sweet. Bit like Apocalypse Now :D
 
Great game so far. Annoying points for me though are the time it takes to move the cross hair, as already mentioned, and the blue outline to the screen, there is no need for it.
 
blue outline would makes sense in fps view as youre supposed to be wearing eloctronic visor, but then you shouldnt be able to see youself lol.

Just eliminated the enemy camp now. Starting to get more and more used to the controls. Will definitely replay the single player campaign on hard I think
 
i'm on level 5 now and takin a break, was too intense, have no probs with the cross hair speed as i stay undercover and move the cross hair to the target then pop out and bang they are dead (normally, lol)

just out of interest, how many people use first person view?

I used 3rd for first couple of levels then switched to first and found it a lot easier.
 
heh, watched my brother playing this earlier, thought it looked amazing so headed out and bought a 360 with it :) Loving it at the moment, its so refined and so many moments that just make you go "woa...cool". :D
 
I've played 4 games on Live now and i'm unbeaten lol. Didn't have any lag issues generally although it did jump sometimes which is annoying while your shooting at someone. Great fun though.

If anyone wants to add me, i'll be up for some games tommorow night as well.

Ill add you tomorrow , off for the night now.
Could do with more Geordies on me friends list :)
 
I think I found a bug. At one point the level went almost dark and you could see the world appearing and disapearing. It was a bit odd.
 
played for a couple of hours this afternoon, as i impulse bought it after fight night didn't turn up. Really enjoying it, although its pretty difficult on hard mode.

xbox 360 has definitely reignited my interest in gaming, after a break of about 4 years.
 
Thought it was great until the chopper section in Level 2, I hate any kind of section like this (the tank battle was the worst part to Quake 4 and Call of Duty 2) and playing it on hard I am really struggling. I am clearing the buildings at the start, as the people carrier comes around the corner it shoots me dead before I have anything to aim at.

I am so close to not playing this game again, it's shocking, just for this section.

Could see it popping up on MM VERY soon. Annoying as hell, because when actually playing, it's excellent.
 
Just ordered :)

Had to wait for pay to go in at midnight ;) Look forward to some fragging on monday/tuesday :D
