Thanks for the info

TBH The main changes are rubbish in terms of Ranked:(

[WACCOE]

I liekl the way teams are random, though.

[backin-strachan]

Yeah but TM will not be able to play Rank matches together now - we could get stuck with randoms. And I was looking forward to the resetting of the ranks to give everyone an even playing field but they havent. Ah well we had some good Player Matches Last night.

[WACCOE]

Yeah, but when playing a player match I don't play to the full of my potential, because I don't feel like im playing for anything.

[backin-strachan]

Yeah I feel the same but Steve sorta pschyed us in to feel like we were playing a clan match i.e gave us positions and I think we went 7-0 the first time (5 of us on 7) and a similar score the second time.

[WACCOE]

Why?

When did you have a game last night?

[tom91]

gonna have my first expierence of GRAW online today, should i get chapter 2 straight away?

[WACCOE]

You may see if you like the game 1st. :)

[tom91]

ok thanks, just ive heard its very hard to get a game without it.

Thornbag do you ever get any annoying connection issues with it? like being dropped out of games etc?

[WACCOE]

Yep, quite a lot.

:)

[tom91]

well just palyed a few games, quite hard to get a game, even with chapter 2, but still fun, first team elimation i came 3rd highest with11 kills and 8 deaths.

[ZeDeX82]

I like graw, but mine keeps crashing on the second mission. It crashes when i reach the presidents car..

You play ranked or unranked?

[tom91]

i tried one ranked, but i lost connection to the server after about 2 minutes, but then i did unranked, also tried co op, but there dosent seem to be hardly anyone playing co op but it was still fun.

[backin-strachan]

You shouldnt get dropped from Player Matches its just the rank ones that I have problems with. Its hard not to like the game but if you want to join in get togethers then yeah try and get the maps(Y)

[tom91]

yeah its ok, ive got the map pack now, now i need to get a decent friends list to play with.

[backin-strachan]

Send us an FR I'll be on later tonight:)

[tom91]

ok will do, ill see if i can come on tonight, fin not ill be on tommorow probably.

So do u just join the same match as someone in the friends list? or invite them to the match?

[backin-strachan]

On your friend list just click on the friends game you want to join and you will see "Join game in progress" The rest is easy. There are a few on just now.

[ZeDeX82]

[tom91]
