I'm sure I saw an option to do that.

Anyone had problems on live? Seems any more than 8 plays and the servers have a fit. Probably just first night probs but we shall see.

I've just had an idea regarding the 'inverting' thing.

I'm sure mine is ok and I have mine set up so that if you push forward you look down, and vice versa. Not changed anything in GRAW itself.

If there isnt any option in the game to set it to this (and I cant be bothered to look myself at the mo) then try this...

From the 360 dash press the guide button, click into your gamerprofile, go to Game Defaults and change the Y-Axis setting in the Action tab.

Might work, might not?

yeah, I have my live FPS profile set to invert and GRAW just picked it up. Theres no way I could have played otherwise!

Re the helicopter bit, destroy the truck as soon as it comes into view. Also watch the heat of your guns using the indicator on the right - the rate of fire goes down massively if goes into the red. I just kept the guns spun up but took aim at things and fired rather than constantly hosing the area. I did do it on normal though.

Nismo · 11 Mar 2006 at 10:33

LoL, scrap that crappy method above...

To change the axis, press start in-game, options, go to camera view (where you can select 1st or 3rd person) then you can press X to change between inverted and normal.

i have my gamercard profile set to invert the Y axis on action games, so GRAW picked that up and went on it's merry way.

blinking clever if you ask me.

Awesome never knew you could do that, I just did it like Nismo.

Anyways, I'm loving this game at the moment it's simply fantastic.

Yep, I've had mine set up like that since I got it. Very handy not having to change options in every game.

Its the best method mate - it means every other fps you play will automatically set Y axis to invert.

Yeah it's a nice option. You can set some defaults for driving games as well, such as the camera view.

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.

I've not lost any team mates yet, had one or two of em go down but gotta em healed up good

MrClegg and me was playing on live last night, it looked so funny we was both moving in synch, it was so cool

Heh, I lost some team mates on the first mission you have to plant C4

I planted the C4 then told them to regroup on me, I of crouse ran off but they were gathering on my previous position, just where the C4 was counting down to 0

BOOM!

I believe we got shot in the face shortly after!

Style is important though! Remember that people!

Na, we killed two of them first, then promptly got shot back - we drew that game though. I reckon we coulda won the other round if my mate was 0-10 lol and that Robertous guy wasnt lagging, was like shooting a bunny, he was just moving a few metres in seconds and lagging past bullets. Everyone else was fine, hsi lag tho

not good

Well in hindsight it is the best method, however I was just providing the games own way of doing it too

thought i'd replay the 1st mission on Hard from the mission select screen and boy its blooming hard, it makes the normal mode seem easy, took me 1 and 30mins (i must be rubbish, lol) and must have died 30 times,lol. I did it in the end though and with all my men alive still. Thing is i gotta do it in the main campagin on hard now to unlock the hard achievements. That'll be fun!

I Love doing it on hard, i went back and did the first mission again on Normal and blazed through it in about 10minutes...unfortunatly i was on the wrong profike and dint get the achievement so gotta do it again now, lol.

But hard is very challenging especially some of the later levels, not played the Campaign since Thursday when i got it but managed the first 5 missions on hard then, away for the weekend now so wont play again till the week, but cant wait - on a Jungle like mission (looks Jungle ish) so its gonna be hard to spot enemies
