Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 Following up the 2006 platinum Xbox360 seller Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter (GRAW), Ubisoft brings the sequel GRAW2, with more of what fans loved about the original with 12 single player missions, 14 multiplayer maps, and a 6 mission coop campaign. Following the failure of the coup d'état in Mexico City Mexican rebels have gathered their remaining forces along the US border. The Ghosts have less than 72 hours to stop a nuclear attack. Lead your team of elite Special Forces for the first time on US soil - straddling the border between Juarez, Mexico and El Paso, Texas. You are the last line of defense and must do what it takes to protect your country. Features: Groundbreaking Visual Experience: The war zone in Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter comes to life as you navigate through trash-strewn streets and pick off enemies from behind bomb-scarred structures. The cutting-edge physics and particle systems will show you some of the most intense and realistic explosions, smoke, and environment destruction ever seen in a video game. Dynamic lighting and shadows will morph as real-time day/night cycles and a constantly changing weather system require you to adjust to the changing conditions on the fly. All-New Battlegrounds: For the first time ever, the Ghosts will defend U.S. soil from a cross-border attack, taking the fight to all-new locations. The Ghosts will battle enemies in mountain terrains, barren deserts and even on their home turf in El Paso, Texas. Each environment presents its own benefits and challenges and will call for fresh tactical approaches. Vastly Improved Artificial Intelligence (AI): Watch your back as rebels send their own team members to flank your position or gain vantage points by utilizing vertical gameplay to pick you off from the rooftops above. Improved squad-mate AI will now feed you more of the information you need with descriptive commands like enemy spotted behind red truck ahead. Improved Cross-Com: The revolutionary new Cross-Com 2.0 will give the player more information than ever before. You will be able to see what your friendly forces see in the top left display and the click of a button will expand that to full-screen view for a clearer and more precise picture. This will give you a more comprehensive view of the entire battlefield. The new Full Command View will allow unprecedented precision in developing and issuing tactical plans on the battlefield. Expanded Support: Command lethal air strikes with jet fighters, gain mobile cover for otherwise impassable. Ghost Recon: Future Soldier is the eagerly awaited fourth installment in the legendary Ghost Recon series, an incredibly action packed third person shooter saga, brought to you by Ubisoft. This series has always specialised in providing stunning visuals, blood pumping action, and the most high tech weaponry and artillery known to man, often based on real-life prototypes for the military or researched by DARPA. Ghost Recon 4 Future Soldier Launch Trailer   The story is set in the near future, with Russia in the throes of a civil war and the President being held captive by Russian nationalists. You are part of an elite team assigned to stop them; you are a Ghost soldier, the best of the best. Your group is part of Specialised Tactics, a Special Mission Unit under the direction of the Joint Special Operations Command, and the cream of the US Special Forces crop. A new and specialised wide range of artillery and suits are available within this game, with the option of wearing the highly coveted thermoptic camouflage suit, which allows an even higher degree of stealth. Another incredibly developed suit featured in this new chapter of Ghost Recon is the exoskeleton, otherwise known as the exo-tech suit. This improves both mobility and physicality, and allows you to carry twice as much at half the weight. The exo-tech suit also enables plenty of features that will enhance your game experience, for example the link up system, which allows you to link up or split off from your unit at any time. This system combines and shares the specialised class abilities that the other people in your unit possess, meaning you can use the sniper's heartbeat detector, the engineer's drone system, the recon's optical camouflage, and more. Whilst linked up, your unit moves and acts as one, delivering the most clean and precise kills. With an exceptional combination of stealth, situation analysis, close quarters combat, and a wide range of weapons (from classic AK-47s to more upgraded artillery such as SCAR-Ls), Future Soldier offers everything a specially trained Ghost operative and gamer could ask for.
