Chris F Posted August 9, 2003 Report Share Posted August 9, 2003 Well, I picked up Ghost Recon : Island Thunder and I'm ready to go tonight. As usual, I will host a 12 man game for us. Seeing as how I just got it, I don't have anything unlocked, but t should be fun on these new maps. Game time starts at : 9PM EST Make sure you've added me to your friends list if you want to play. Important! If you're online and you DON'T get an invite from me, please send an invite to me, this way I'll know you're online, and I'll invite you into the game.

Buck Posted August 10, 2003 Report Share Posted August 10, 2003 Looks like I'll catch the next round. A few friends showed up and we're in the middle of a 12 man Halo marathon. Things could be worse I guess :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamsappel Posted August 10, 2003 Report Share Posted August 10, 2003 I drove like a batoutahell at 8:30 tonight to pick this up. Had a blast online, until I suddenly had the urge to puke (nothing to do with the game or the company). I love the deliberate pace of the game. Nothing like sneaking up on a guy oblivious to your presence and puttin' a cap in 'im. Or so I assume. I was usually the oblivious guy.

merlot Posted August 10, 2003 Report Share Posted August 10, 2003 I had a great time last night as well, thanks for hosting Chris. Now we need the rest of LCVG's members to get off their asses and pick this game up for some 8 on 8 mayhem . . . . . What are you waiting for, go get it!

JoeyN Posted August 10, 2003 Report Share Posted August 10, 2003 yeah i want to pick this up soon. could have if bestbuy didnt have already opened "do not sell for display only" copies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamsappel Posted August 10, 2003 Report Share Posted August 10, 2003 Joey, can't you just take that box to one of the blueshirts and have them get you an unopened one? Are they sold out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyN Posted August 10, 2003 Report Share Posted August 10, 2003 every single one was like that only for that game. inside the case every single box was open. you can see the slit in the security seal. Bestbuy never has stuff like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJames Posted August 11, 2003 Report Share Posted August 11, 2003 Had fun Saturday with you guys and hope to do it again. After playing some team games on Sunday it seems the spawn camping has gotten worse. With GRIT now offering scoreboards (similar to RTCW) the stat whores are going crazy trying to get kills. I really hope Ubi can update the game with a three to five second invincibility period to try and deter this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlot Posted August 11, 2003 Report Share Posted August 11, 2003 I noticed the spawn killing too. My remedy is to turn off respawns Of course then you get the asshats who join, then leave as soon as they are killed. GRIT is definetely a game to be played with mature adults, such as the LCVG/HTF crew. Go pick it up people!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merlot Posted August 12, 2003 Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 I'll be there as well... luckily, my volleyball game is early tonight, so I'll be home in time to play I hosted up to 7 people last night without a problem (no explosives). I assume my connection could handle 8. I managed to get a couple new guys on, that like my hosting style (3 respawns & no spawn killing allowed).

Jason Merrick Posted August 12, 2003 Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 I really hope Ubi can update the game with a three to five second invincibility period to try and deter this.Another nice twist/fix would be to make a person invisible within a 5-ft radius of the spawn point. Then the campers would have the tables turned on them. But if you are playing right, it would just give the person who is spawned a chance to look around and pick a path before leaving the spawn point, all without fear of a bullet in the back of the head.

Robot Monkey Posted August 12, 2003 Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 Interesting idea, Jason. Would you also couple that with not allowing the newly-spawned player to shoot for the invisibility period? And welcome to lcvg if no one's greeted you yet! -j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlot Posted August 12, 2003 Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 Hey Jason, Good to see you made it over! There's a HTF sound off thread over in General. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Monkey Posted August 12, 2003 Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 And will you be changing your gamertag to LCVGJackRyan? -j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJames Posted August 12, 2003 Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 As long as it took Ubi to release a search engine patch for the first GR I'm not holding my breathe on a spawn camping fix any time soon if ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Merrick Posted August 12, 2003 Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 Would you also couple that with not allowing the newly-spawned player to shoot for the invisibility period? Yeah, I guess you'd probably have to, but that does take the fun out of it... I know, let the newly-spawned player shoot for the first week or so of the patch, that way all the spawn campers will get a nice surprise! :twisted: Thanks for the welcome Robot_Monkey, and thanks for the heads-up on the forum Merlot, and yes, I did sign in on the HTF thread.
