Lockup problems with GRAW 2?

March 9, 2007 9:00 AM

As pointed out by Madwacker in the discussion of last night's Late Night Consoling, a bunch of folks over at the Xbox.com forums are complaining of frequent lockups when playing Ubisoft Paris and Red Storm's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 on Xbox 360. Some posters claim to experience up to three lockups per hour, and in particular, the training mission seems especially prone to freezing. Furthermore, many of those affected say other games, such as Ubisoft Montreal's Rainbow Six Vegas and Realtime Worlds' Crackdown, play without hassle on their systems.

Meanwhile, other users in the thread report they have not had any problems, a statement reiterated by Shacker pebui and similar topics on other message boards. Anyone else out there having issues?

Wow, if its that bad for 360, then only god knows how insanely bad it must be for PC considering the unending problems I had with Vegas. GG Ubi, you are the new EA. Congratulations.

  None of the big publishers are perfect.

    Ubi has taken a significant nose dive in the last year or 2 tho. I can trust EA more with PC quality than UBi now.

      Ubi is getting bigger and their franchises are getting stronger. So, they're taking the easier, more conservative route and just pumping out R6/GRAW/Splinter Cell as fast as they can. They are outsourcing console/PC ports to different teams so you don't get a synced up game.
      
      EA isn't the only one that releases buggy games. Ubi, Activision, THQ...they're all guilty. People need to remember that EA isn't the only company in it for the money.
