After mine was updated, my saves remained intact, so maybe yours just got corrupted. Sorry to hear that, but at least you had already beaten the game.

They good news is it will only take a couple of hours to beat again!

I have gotten a little further than when I posted last time, but I still haven't finished the fifth mission. I am fairly confident that I can do it now though, so I guess I won't give up on it quite yet (until I run into something hard again!)

I haven't had issues with saves, but I did have trouble with the disk a couple of times. Even though there isn't a scratch on it, I got the bad disk error. The 360 shut off on me, and it did lock up a couple of times. I just got this 360 a couple of weeks ago as a replacement for my original one that locked up, so I was convinced I was going to lose that one as well.

OK, finally found something that is more frustrating than not being able to get past a certain section of a game - beating everything in that section and not being able to go on because of a glitch. I'm on Mission 9, the Bulldog mission, had everything done that I was supposed to do, and couldn't go any further because of a glitch. I couldn't get the tanks to move, but I knew that there were a couple of soldiers left, yet when I tried to get them, I got the leaving the battlezone message. I couldn't do anything, so I had to restart, and now I can't even get that far because I am so frustrated with the game. What a complete pissoff.

I hope that when I get to that point again I don't run into the same glitch. Did anyone here run into that glitch?

I ran into the same glitch. I had to completely re-start the mission to get through it. There's one guy you need to kill that opens up the rest of the map. I had killed him, but the game didn't know it. Once I had figured out what was going on, it didn't take too long to get through it.

I ran into the glitch as well, but didn't realize it for a long time. I kept running back and forth across the roofs, searching for anyone I didn't kill. Then I tried advancing further than I was supposed to, and I died because I had left the combat zone. I eventually just started over and the next play through went by smoothly.

Ditto for me. I didn't realize that there was a glitch, so I kept going, and I couldn't understand why I could see two enemy soldiers but I couldn't get to them without leaving the battlezone.

Once again, ditto for me. I had to restart the mission, and I was so frustrated because of the glitch, I couldn't get to that part. When I finally got back there,I had to do it about five times before the glitch didn't happen. Without the glitch, it's a pretty easy section actually.

Do you guys recommend buying this? I'm looking for a non sports game that I can play on and offline and this one looked like it might be pretty cool. But, with the 59.99 price tag. I just want to make sure I'm not making a mistake and buying a game that will get old quick. Thanks

I think this is one of a few 360 games that is actually worth the full $60 price tag.

To be honest i have gotten a huge amount more online playtime from Call of Duty 2 than GRAW. I thought it got dull kind of quickly online with people glitching and the single player game (from what i have seen on the forums here) sounds kind of glitchy.

I thought the single player mission was a blast, and I only encountered a glitch once. The online co-op missions are a blast, especially when they're new and you don't know exactly where to go. After beating the co-op missions numerous times, it got a little old when everybody knows what to do and the mission no longer presents a challenge. However, playing with "new" people seems to bring some life back into those modes. As far as the deathmatch modes, I haven't really played them too much.

COD2 is fun also, although I think the single player campaign is more frustrating, especially on veteran. However, if you're looking mainly for fast paced online deathmatch games, COD2 is a better choice. COD2 is the online game of choice for many of the forum members here.

Ubisoft doing well

Ubisoft Titles Thrive on Xbox Live, US Sales Soar in July
Press Release
Aug. 21st, 2006 12:05 pm

Today Ubisoft, one of the world’s largest video game publishers, announced that Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter was the top single-player and multi-player game on the Xbox Live online gaming service worldwide. Figures are based on the number of unique users during calendar year second quarter 2006, according to Microsoft.

Additionally, Ubisoft recorded year-over-year sales growth of 81 percent in July on the U.S. market according to NPD.

GRAW is my favorite 360 game, hands down. I've gotten way more than $60 worth of enjoyment from it (perhaps too much, if you ask Mrs. Rex). I've run into one or two glitches, but nothing serious. The graphics are amazing, especially after watching someone play the Xbox version at Best Buy. If I had only one game for the 360, GRAW would be it.

I finally finished GRAW yesterday. I loved the game, aside from the glitches. There was one part that I had a hell of a time getting by for some reason, even though others found it easy (posted a few posts up). Places that I found easy others found hard.

Regardless, I would give it a big and would recommend it. I am probably going to start COD2 next, just so I can beat it and trade/sell before COD3 comes out (November I believe). The guys that I play on Live don't have much interest in playing this online, but I would be interested in trying it out. I only beat it on regular, so I might try it on the harder level, but I have such a backlog of games that I might just put it away for a while.

I LOVE this game. This is still about the only game I play. Look me up on Live, I have not been on much lately, but I will be on this week, usually around 9-10pm CST. I play Co-op or some unranked team play.

Just got the game today with a 360. Looking forward to playing on Live.

I loved GRAW and online is lotsa fun. However, since I'm cheap I never purchased the new map pack that came out for online play. Let me tell you, it's a pain finding online matches that aren't using the New maps. I may still buy them later but I suggest you look into getting them.

If you really liked GRAW, I would say buy the maps. They are not that much and they are very cool, nothing like playing Nowhere at night and doing away with the standard hiding places of other players.

Yeah I keep saying I'm going to get them. I don't think I'm going to do the same thing when RS:Vegas maps get released. I'm going to buy those.

Like I said, finding games on GRAW without the 800 point maps is frustrating and I don't want that to happen on RS:Vegas.

Is there a trick to surviving the Embassy stage? I've played that level probably 20 times and I keep getting blasted. How long do you have to stay alive for help to come?

Is it just me or is the sound extremely low in some spots. Like voices. The guns and bombs sound awesome, but when nothing is going on and somebody is talking to me, its really low.

The text is way to small also, no way I can read that from 6 feet away.

Most games today have seperate settings for Voice, SFX, and Music. I can't remember if GRAW does but I don't see why not.

You could try setting the Voice all the way up and the pulling back on the SFX and Music.

Is that the one where you have to protect the VP in front of that open Plaza? If so you have to survive until you blow up the armor vehicle that will eventually drive down the plaza steps. This was one of the hardest missions IMO. I basically told the three guys to take cover on that piece of wall to the left and then I went prone behind a little mound of debris right in front of you and just kept picking off the guys as they tried to storm in. Took me quite a while to get past that, especially on the Hard setting.

Just downloaded the GRAW 2 demo. Short, but very cool. I will definitely be picking it up. The demo is single player only.

Yeah it's pretty cool. I'm not sure how the "mule" will be used in the game other than a supply point but apparently they have something in mind based on the fact that you can control it and from the footage in the "gameplay video" they have up. It also looks great.

It's probably time for aGRAW 2 to get its own thread since Nosmo Rex kicked off the GRAW 2 talk. Perhaps the Mods can set that up.
