GRAW demo now available on XBLM?


Xbox.com says the long-awaited Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter demo is now available on Xbox Live Marketplace, but gamers from the US and Europe report they're still not seeing it. Will the cruelty ever stop?

2. Just buy the freaking game already.

3. I agree with Deezul. This is the greatest Ghost Recon ever made. If you ever liked a Ghost Recon, you'll be want to make love to your Waterfighter disc.

Well, ok.. that -may- be a little exaggerated...

4. Ok, i agree that this game should be bought instead of waiting for the demo, but don't you think its a strange way microsoft is conducting itself, they announce on the website the Demo is up on marketplace, obviously it isn't. Major nelsons blog has no mention of it and he is director of programming on XBL and don't say he may be busy because he has posted on there since the announcement of the demo. all it takes is a little thought from this company and everyone will be happy. Rant over

5. There does seem to be some odd behavior over the last few months in regards to the marketplace. Im sure they will get all of their bugs and glites ironed out, but it is frusterating in the meantime. Also, Deezul is right. Go by the game already its Grawsome. (Note: pennywise appologizes for the cheesy last line. He cant resist himself)

7. They got it right for "The Outfit" - release the demo two weeks before the game to build interest. I was on the fence with it, but now I'm leaning towards getting it. I had a ball playing the demo, especially since a friend who regularly schools me in other games sucks at "The Outfit." Too bad it comes out so close to GR:AW, and the already oversupply of FPS games.

8. Figures! I was waiting for this Demo Furiously and now I got the game in the mail today from Gamefly.

9. Now it says "Coming soon..."

10. I'm sure the demo for GRAW will rock once it finally appears, but I can assure those of you who don't own the game yet, and those who do can agree, the demo probably won'd do the game justice. THIS.GAME.FREAKING.ROCKS

I've been hardcore Halo since it came out, and I never thought there'd be another FPS that'd take me away from my beloved Halo 2, but boy was I wrong!

11. that demo better be awesome if they really want to take over halo 2.

12. I remember playing Ghost Recon when LIVE first launched. If you can't tell the diff between this GR and that GR, then maybe it really is the xbox 1.5.... not a chance. (The multiplayer doesn't seem to have all the fancy lighting and what have you though)

13. i like it all the blogs and websites report that its not on marketplace immediately ant the official website takes 6 or 7 hours to change two words.Its good that microsoft arn't a fledgling company, i wouldn't want them to be setting an example and showing everyone else how its done. ok no more sarcasm from me today ;-)

14. Chris has been waiting to get me back since I called him out about all of his puns. How Grawful.

Posted at 3:23PM on Mar 14th 2006 by pennywise969 2 stars

15. I agree, I can't wait to try this game out and it'll come out before e3 =)

16. Why does everyone call Recon an FPS???
It hasn't been an FPS since Island thunder. It's a third person over the shoulder...so wouldn't that make it a third person shooter with the option to play in first person?

17. i was thinking about getting this game, but i wanted to play co-op with my bro split-screen on one xbox, not over live, is that possible?
