Ubisoft's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 is now on Aussie shelves for PC gamers, bringing the Tom Clancy branded tactical shooter to a new group of players. Unlike past Ubisoft first person shooter titles however, they've put a little more effort into the PC dedicated server and thanks to that, for the first time ever, we've been able to set up a server for Australians to play on with decent latency (although still not as simple a task as most PC shooters).

The GameArena Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 server should now be appearing in the in-game browser, just sort by ping and it should be at or near the top of your list. It's still a work in progress, so if you have any suggestions regarding game modes and map cycles be sure to share and as always, if there is population demand we will look at running more servers to accommodate.

Great! Now if only i didn't have to save my money for GW:EN and Left 4 dead. Still, this is definatly on my list of things to buy.

My advice, download the demo if you haven't allready and give it a go.

It's such a pitty that insurgency is free, because GRAW2 is definitely an awesome game.

insurgency sucks, lame attempt to pre-empt cod4. graw 2 is MUCH better on 360. its at least playable.

6 Days late is better than no server I always say.

Good work GA.

Gamearena thankyou for hosting a server.

Can you please extend the zone capture time in Hamburger hill from 45 seconds to 120 seconds as the rounds in Hamburger Hill are all over in under a minute! It does not allow enough time for a team to attack and try to take the zone back. This will also allow more gun fire and respawn time to allow each wave to hit the zone.

Also can you setup a different map and game type up each night so we can try out all the game modes and map types in GRAW 2. This game rocks and I've finially given up Counterstrike for this game.

Thanking you kindly

Thanks for hosting this server. Awesome. Just needs some server fine tuning though for the game types.

Can you please have the zone capture time upped from 45 seconds to at least 120 seconds for hamburger hill. The rounds are over too quickly and if you respawn you dont make it back in time to play.

Can you also mix up the maps in the map rotation so we have some different game play types if possible. We all played the Hamburger Hill gameplay on all the maps and with only 45 seconds to capture it just become a sprint race and not much else. Also please ban the NOOB CANON (grenade launcher) from use on the server (can do it using a command line on server). It spoilt gameplay on the first GRAW and will cause the same grief and frustration in GRAW 2. They use it like a shotgun as it does not kill the launcher at point blank range and is a really annoying weapon to have in the game. Please ban its use for all our sanity.

Thanks guys,

Cheers

Just so you know, Ubisoft seem to like making life hard for server admins.

I've made it so the map cycle will change randomly each day, mixing up the game types. I've also raised the hh capture time to 90.

The question is does it get the 'Radox Big Rubber Stamp of Approval'?

Thanks anyway darkone, I'm on XP and next time I looked the server was there.
Not sure if this is the place to put suggestions but here are a couple I have.
-Need more tickets in Burger Hill mode to make the rounds a bit less shorter. They're finishing to quick atm and it's frustrating.
-If possible, a low ping limit would be awesome, we've waited this long for a server with long pings and it's great we have one but there are still people with 300+ pings joining the game that really kills it for the rest of us.

If GA could check this that'd be awesome

Definitely worth getting, much better than GRAW1 and gets adrenalin pumping more than any other FPS I've played.

AktaVite, one thing is for sure, I'm spending more and more time playing this than any other game. It's almost a true successor to GR just lacks that little spice.

Brilliant game, and I think Radox gives it a stamp *thump* yeah there he goes.

In addition to my feedback on GRAW 2 server topic, Fuzzy you have a change in player numbers for some game modes, one of them is 24 and the other is 16. Both player amounts run perfect however when it transitions from 24 to 16 it drops players, should be just 24 or 16 for all game types. Additionally any chance on another server, it got a bit full tonight and it would be good to see game mode specific servers.

Tested it again with HH, the amount tickets still needs to be upped, spawns are too far away for a decent 70 ticket/flag game :)

RvsA is working well in its current state.

TDM needs a spawn limit so that excessive spawn camping does not occur.

and the map "fort", well need I say more...

Yeah the server is very busy from 9:30pm to 11:00pm and had the full 32 players on it and then they all dropped with the lower map player size that rotated on and I sneaked on to play.

I noticed some clans jumping on, with up to 5 members from the same clan playing tonight. This will start to get more popular as time goes on.

90 seconds isnt enough on the Hamburger Hill maps...it makes 45 seconds a side. Make it 130 seconds (65 seconds per side) and there will be a good fire fight and people can respawn and get back into battle, without the round dragging on too long.

Otherwise good work with the map rotation, we got to play all types of game modes, but as said before, the number of players on each map changes so people are getting kicked off when a map drops down to 16 players.

Thanks again.

I've fixed up the max players changing between game modes and up'd the required HH capture points from 35 to 50.

Fuzzy, server is working well atm, just tried hamburger hill on that terrible Fort level *hint hint* and yeah it worked so keep it up.

It's good to see such a diverse rotation system but yet to see a limited spawns server, god i miss OGR's no respawn games, makes it much more tactical.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! please take all FORT map types off the server...everyone hates it and leave in droves when it comes on. Cheers

Just keep hitting the update server button. It can sometimes take 4 or 5 refreshes to display the australian servers. There is two australian servers, one by Gamearena or GA GRAW 2 Server (thankyou) and one by a private individual.

^ and how's a vista fix spoused to help a windows XP user? :P and i refuse to use the windows firewall, I use a 3rd party that I can configure with the programs and all needed ports are activated.

any other game is fine, and i can see the GRAW 2 server at random! Some days/hours it will show, others it wont...
imo i blame gamespy >> but seriously, not being able to filter "ping, empty/full server" is bad enough...
