Quite interesting and it seems to answer alot of unanswered questions.

Yeah, I was just reading that. Sounds like it's going to be a good game. :1 (11):

How many enemy AIs will we be fighting in GRAW SP and COOP?

[ +Ulf ] Up to 20 against you and your ghosts.*
Plus there are vehicles, both in the air and on ground.*

Some people were questioning this because it reads as if there are only going to be 20 enemies per map but given the fact that the maps have an average size of 600x600 meters and it says up to 20, then wouldn't that imply that 20 enemies maximum could be attacking you at once and not just 20 enemies total for a whole map?

Yea i can't wait to see this game. I just hope it's as good as Ghost Recon1

Did we read the same dev chat?

No SDK...and can't talk about it but *wink*wink* it's being worked on

No anti-cheat...but *wink*wink* it's being worked on

No details on specs to even run the game at bare minimum settings

All for a game that's supposed to be ready but the launch was delayed by XBox 360 production?

Two alarm bells are ringing with this gamer....#1 UBI burned the 'trust me' phrase ... #2 Mod support is essential for a FPS title's replayability.  UBI's track record for releasing SDK's after release is pretty atrocious.

IMHO, same thing I've been saying for about a year now...be prepared to be dissapointed.  If the game blows, you knew it all along.  If it doesn't sucketh, you're pleasantly suprised :tongue:

The demo will be buy or meh for this gamer.

i tend to agree with you DaSmerg, i will be holding off for some first hand reviews of this one. BUT from what i've seen and taking it for what it is, Grin has seen the writing on the wall and is looking to make a name for themselves with this title. it is HUGE for them to have this one under their belt. i don't think they will be blowing smoke up anyones butts about features unless it's in stone. but again they are contracted by UBI so all of this could be for not at release.

if it's a good one, i'll be upgrading my box JUST for this title alone, if not, the upgrade won't be as big. :wink:

couldnt have said it better myself.
from reading logs of this sort you find out what is NOT going to be in the game and fast.

ohh but they use the excuse ohh we didnt include it because the share holders wanted the game released asap.  also xbox360 gets presidnce over everything else because its the money maker rump shaker.

i have great expectations for this game. it will be better than rainbow six that ubi has made and making... but how much better?  well we know alot of trends that ubi have, like support for SDK, none... anti cheat?  implimented only when loads of people complained up and down the block... cheating prevention measure? none at all, leave it up to 3rd party dev's... fixing exploits and patching, NONE.

it will be better than alot of the stuff ubi has put out i have to say that much... will it be comprible to previous GR games?  probably, will it die a fast death?  im betting it might lead a mid to short life span.  certainly not as good as current... especially since no developers support games after the first few months after like 3 patches (unless people complain up and down).

Problem is money makes the word go around, and what respectable dev is gonna work for beans, SOOOO investors make games, and what investors and investors market research  turns up makes a diff.  If the Investor reasearch finds thats the hard care audience is greater then the casual audience then so be it, but if its the latter then they will sell to that group, but from the numbers based on GR2 Xbox id expect better things  from graw for thge pc gamer.   No dought im witing for the sdk but still, it aint proprietary engine that RSe holds for GR, its deisal which has yet to be seen in modders hands.
