Adding more save points to GR:AW PC
Posted by Rocky on Tuesday, October 24 2006
The lack of a quick save feature for GR:AW has been the source of much frustration to some fans, even to the extent of not completing the campaign due to the repitition involved in getting past tricky stages.

Using our Adding More Save Points to GR:AW tutorial though, you can have as many save points as you wish, exactly where you want them. No longer will you have to replay sections of the same mission over and over until the difficult section is again upon the Ghosts.

If you have any feedback, or need additional help with this tutotial, please post it here.

Prizes, as always, include absolutely nothing, other than bragging rights. That and a t-shirt. To claim your prize, find a t-shirt you already have, pull out a marker, and write "I won my own shirt in a GR.net sig contest." We won't laugh. A lot.
