I downloaded the demo and fired it up, but it would not give me any widescreen resolutions to choose from. How doid all of you get yours to work? Am I overlooking something?

I want to run it at 1920x1200.

I just download the demo, graphically its pretty decent, but the lack of AA is annoying as they game has a lot of jaggies!

I was playing the 360 version today and it looked almost identical. although as IIDX said, the 360 version has a lot more bloom. I dont know if that makes it at all better really, as i think a lot of developers have gone completely over the top with bloom.

Im real life, ive yet to see the sky above me turn completely yellow as i look up :) (regardless of if im looking into the sun or not!)


Wales hasnt been patched for HDR yet.... i have yellow blue sky all the time :lol:

Weird. It was just selectable in the dropdown box in the game for me. Along with all the other widescreen resolutions.

Just play it stretched. Ghost Recon: Advanced Fat-Fighter. The fat enemies will be easier to target! :P

Hey guys ...
There is a solution to add widescreen resolutions by Death_Masta187
For those that can't see the resolutions in the menu's ... see here ... http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/node/6316

Thank you Death_Masta187 ... :D

I removed it from the solutions page as I was getting all the resolutions and I thought may be it was an ATI thing but it seems not the case ...
It checks your graphics card and then the options it gives you are based on how good it thinks your card is ... :roll:
I've not been feeling too well so I haven't had a chance to write up the Solution.

I will try to do it soon .... thanks.

Interesting review of GRAW. These guys speculate the "missing resolutions" are due to the amount of memory on your video card.

Forgot to mention: Yet another big title military game that has ignored the proper use of medics... this would add such an element to the game; not just run & gun. (so for example a teammate might get cut down, but he's still alive. you have to rescue him, maybe even get him to a medivac. These things complicate real life missions ... and would be a welcome change from simple move from A-to-B, kill all the bad guys style of games )


Have you played the Full Spectrum Warrior series? It sounds like what you want...

The textures look fine to me, on an x1800GTO... it's probably an sm2.0 vs sm3.0 thing. I didn't look for jaggies, but if they were there it wasn't annoying enough for me to notice.

At standard difficulty, well I got popped and popped fast not expecting those military guys standing in the middle of street were going actually enemies and firing a warning shot to see what they'd do. ;)

No problems with the AI squad on follow, they've saved my arse twice so far when all I could do was prone behind cover... the only thing I actively directed was the drone.

I'm not used to the c/v stance changes yet, I'm also put off by the f menu weapon select...

I'll reserve final judgement until i'm further into the game and need to use the squad for something besides basic mop-up duty.
