ok why only U.S. for the beta( i am a yank btw) but come on i have a couple of friends across the pond. who are very exicted for this game. but they cant play the beta. and what is wierd ubisoft started in europe. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
The beta is for all! gamestop have upgraded people who have preordered the full game with them to the Signature Edition when the full game is realeased and they get into the beta with their pre-order just like everybody do
Its the fact that the US get upgraded for free is what we don't like as here in the uk we don't have gamestop ! but i think UBI will do a deal with Game or Gamestation or one of the online shops
They BETTER do a deal with one of the ****ing game shops and they BETTER not release the beta or the game itself in the ****ING USA before releasing it in the UK or anywhere else. I have bought Splinterscam and held onto that piece if **** game for months now and what?? Oh wait lets release the beta in the USA and give them extra **** that we wont be giving anyone else? I dont ****ing think so. I know its not Kimi or the Mods on here but jesus christ... If they release the game in the USA before the Uk or anywhere else i might just leave it and stick with one of the other shooters.
I am usually a POSITIVE person on here and I used to think that poor Kalaneth needed a hug but it seems the dude might have had a point all along here...
edit* Just so im not misunderstood. This is no slight on my fellow american gamers or on the USA at all. I could just imagine the response from the USA folks if Ubi stated they were going to do all this **** for the UK only. You know what i mean?

Well, I am FROM the USA and it ****es me off. I understand MORE about how the rest of the world feels having been studying in Canada for a year. Which, btw, IS ALSO not considered North America by Ubisoft... Funny that, huh?
Who the HELL makes these decisions and WTF are they smoking? I want some!
Btw, SAR762007, I am not generally a huggy kind of person, but sometimes I DO get moods... Especially when dealing with Ubisoft it seems.
This is just...stupid. Even for this company, it seems remarkably stupid.

oh FFS.... United States this... United States that... who cares about the US?? What about the UK?? When are WE going to get the beta? when are we going to ge the game? Will it be before or after the ****ing United States????
Sorry but I am starting to lose the plot here... </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
I have been an avid gamer for years my first console was an Atari 2600.
I don't think ubisoft is being fair at all! No disrespect to the usa but why should they get the game first? Not only that but they are also going to get free stuff too? Upgrades etc? How is that fair? When you purchase the game if you want additional content it costs money. The ltd edition game of the year edition etc. But what's the bet that we pay the same ****ing price as the usa for less! If the whole of the UK suddenly stopped buying these type of games I bet the company would change its policy quicker than a fat kid eating a cake. This is bull****!......if the shoe was on the other foot all Hell would break loose. As they get all this free **** we should pay less for a game that has been delayed more times than flights with Ryan air! Also all this **** about splinter scam giving the beta!! Which was stated as June 2010. Now its march 2012????.... promises promises. More like out and out lies. We are what keeps these people in business we are the reason they put on a suit and even have a ****ing job to go to! How they pay their mortgage and car payments and they treat us like this? I am a die-hard uni fan but to say my faith hasn't been shaken would be a lie. I never thought I would pick c.o.d over graw. But what choice do I have?.......I'm seriously disappointed this whole thing was a completely avoidable sham!!

I'm seeking clarification on the US pre order offer and any information on possible alternatives to the UK & EU players.
In the meantime please post without the swearing, its not needed and if you keep it up your posts will be removed. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
Ms-Kleaneasy
I will man up here and apologise for the language i used within my last post. Please understand I am extremely disappointed and angry. I am a loyal xbox360 user and have played Ubisoft games a lot. check my gamer score for the likes of graw, r6v, splinter.. HONEST. I am angry at being made to wait longer for the game and given less than the USA for what effectively is my loyalty to your brand. I know your job is to moderate this forum so I will apologise again. However, If your company does release the game in the USA before everywhere else then I will most probably not buy GRFS out of principle.
I hope I have been clear enough here.
edit* further to this, I spent £40 on buying GRAW2. I then spent £10 each on two co-op campaign add-ons. I then spent £10 each on 4 further DLC map packs (throwback maps etc) I make that £100 on GRAW2. Thats about nearly 200 bucks in USA money. And your giving them stuff for free - give me a flipping break... and you wonder why i am swearing?????

Yeah, most gamers on here, US and otherwise, are SHOCKED at this.
Maybe it is just Ubi being dense and not communicating well as usual. If it is, no biggie and I bet a lot of people who have written things, myself included, will apologize.
If it is NOT...
*deep breath*
I am from the US and I personally think that if it IS Ubi focusing on the US at the expense of the rest of the world's gamers, then SOMETHING is SERIOUSLY rotten in the state of Ubisoft.
I am used to hearing 'This is a UK only promotion' from Ubisoft. I deal with it. I think it is dumb, but then again, I don't think that much of what Ubisoft has done recently has been smart.
I doubt I am going to buy this game. Whether they can change my mind before release or not is up in the air. But when things like this start being tossed about like old hat by Ubisoft... I think telling them to take a hike may be the right choice.
Their PR department needs to get their heads examined if this IS legit. Oh... wait... the PR department at Ubi acts like a thousand chimps hitting typewriters doesn't it? Maybe they should stick to Shakespeare...
Coupla things:
First, I'm an American, and I am suspicious of these people claiming" I am a yank"- after 25 years living in sun shiny southern California, I have yet to hear any American state he is "a yank."
Second, if you shelled out sixty bucks(or pounds, I guess) for beta access, then(and I'm sorry to say this) you deserve to be out the money- you don't get to be indignant about spending you money in a stupid way.
Finally, so what one region gets the game first?! It isn't like there's going to be a six month gap between the US and UK launches- maybe one whole week. Big deal.
the problem is that in their infinite wisdom those fools in Paris have opted for a ranking system for unlocking weapons. while in the earlier games who gets the game first would not be an issue as every weapon was available from the get go. looking at what other devs did with tier weapon ranks. there is a high possibility it will place one hell of an advantage in the hands of (be it Yank,Limey,Mack,Mohammed,Ivan you get the idea) who get the game first (that is of course.... fs the type of weapon does have an effect on your combat)
