Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter Demo Out NOW!!!

Re: Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter Demo Out NOW!!!

I understand that there are no high res textures in the demo. It's disabled, but I still couldnt get it to smoothly run on 1280 * 1024.

I dont have a "pretty hot" machine as i only have a 9800 pro and i can still play with everything on medium except with the advanced lighting off and AF set to trilinear.

Not being funny mate but I dont want medium settings

I surely dont want medium either but i deal with what i can get. your lucky you can even get 1280x1024, whenever i select that i get an error and ctd.

Re: Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter Demo Out NOW!!!

All I can say is.....Good bye BF2, HELLO GRAW!
HOLY CRAP! CLANCY IS REDEEMED!
The good old, non-console shooter is BACK!
I don't have an overly powerful PC (AMD3700 2GB DDR400, SLI 6800GS) and the game ran PERFECT at 1280X1024. Not a single crash. After you master the squad commands the game play is fast, the Friendly AI is SMART IE: Taking cover under fire, pressing the attack, useful supressive fire, they use GL at smart times excellent base of fire w/o telling them what to do. Amazing. Simply amazing. I am now salivating for GRAW, especially COOP single player (no bunny hoppers/exploiters). My only complauint is the fact that my master SLI card ran at a toasty 108F while my secondary ran at 92F (puzzling) a 16 degree difference means it is not doing SLI efficiently, but it is a demo, maybe SLI support is limited. My 7900GTX will eat it up though. Now I NEED a PhysX card (I don't care if it is $200+) from whatI have read, the PhysX card makes the game smoother and unlocks aspects of the game that add more realism.
Anyone else as excited about this besides me?
Funny thing is I said a few months back I would ease off BF2 when I hit SgtMaj, Last nite....SgtMaj. GRAW makes BF2 look like LEGO Star Wars. Period (ok Flame Away)

I still think the 360 Version looks better. (flame me if you like)

But I really like how you can customize your weapons. Like taking a scope on/off adding a fore grip, or a 203. Thats the only thing I think is better on the PC version. This one also has fullauto side arms like a MP5/SD or the Compact XM8.

But then again the Xbox 360 only hast to worry about one Video card. The PC version hast to worry about many diffrent video cards.

You can set textures to high, found this in Ubi forums:

C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Demo\Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter Demo\Data\settings\

Open the renderer_settings.xml with wordpad, edit the resolution and refresh rate to suit your monitor, set each texture setting that is on medium to high and that should also give you high textures.

Re: Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter Demo Out NOW!!!

well. a couple things.
IMO you move too slow, and the order system has some bugs.
the graphics are good, but GOD DAMN that game ate my system up. I saw artifacting at fisrt, and on max settings I was getting like 25fps.
also did anyone notice the ghetto AA?

Re: Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter Demo Out NOW!!!

I too believe the movement is way to slow. Its a shame that you can press run while proned and move faster than while crouched and walking.

Sackynut, you playin the demo or retail? I'm just on the demo for now.

Thanks I'll give it a go. Has anyone else got mouse lag? The drivers on my MX510 dont operate properly on my x64 environment, so I cant guarantee if if is driver v os or programme related (although I have no problem on anything else)

Sure the 360 version looks good, but do you guys remember how many mods there were for the 1st Ghost Recon? That is what is exciting about this new version, by Christmas there will be a dozen mods for GRAW. GRAW will kill BF2, your days are numbered BF2 (5 days to be exact.)

Re: Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter Demo Out NOW!!!

I agree with you all. The graphics and controls were clunky, and the mouse seemed to lag like you all said. I did like the shooting and the game play but the controls ****ed me off, im going to set them how i like now and see how i like it.
The ai seemed to jump around corners and get shot in the face quite often. I do like how u can choose your weapons and customize them, i wish bf2 had that feature. All in all i give it a 8/10 then again i only played 10 m inites.

You need to manually make an SLI profile for the demo and use AFR (not AFR2 or SFR) mode. It more than doubles framerate, which doesnt make sense as SLI should never give you close to or above 2X performance, but there you go.

It still doesnt look as good as the 360 version, as it lacks the depth of field and tone-mapping effects of the 360, it also has no Anti-Aliasing (on Nvidia or ATI). It never will on current gen Nvidia, as they are using FP16 HDR, but maybe the full version will have AA on the ATI X1800/1900, it is sorely needed as even at 1600x1200, the jaggies really ruin the long distance aiming and the look of Mexico City. That said the physics are awesome (and with a PhysX card will be even more awesome), the sound is great and I'm sure Co-op Multiplayer will rock. But for me the single player on the 360 is faster paced, more intense and more fun, the PC version is a little too "1-shot-1-kill" and methodical.

Re: Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter Demo Out NOW!!!

Having played through the first mission i decided this game will sit idle in my comp until UBI releases a patch fixing the mouse lag issue. I find it totally unacceptable that in this day and age we still have to suffer from shoddy testing and releasing games in this condition. You can not tell me that nobody that tested this game had no problems with the mouse lag and as i read through UBI' forums it turns out that several people are complaining about this.
I do however like the level designs and anyone here that likes Karkand will feel right at home in the urban levels. It also amused me that one of my fellow ghosts name is Kirkland. I'm curious if that was an intentional dig at the mispronunciation of Karkand on the bf2 forums.
