The Campaigns are tough, enemy AI smarter and more accurate. Cannot finish a single campaign even with 14 experienced players.

Playing Campaign causes the console to hang often at the start of the game. Have to reboot console. Hangs on several players' console simultaneously.

I shall not be your b|tch Ubi, ya can kiss my MS points man.. This is daylight online robbery I tell ya...

Hmph, after downloading the DLC and trying out all the maps. I think its not cost effective to download it unless you are a "REAL HARDCORE GRAW-er".

The campaign is quite smooth with 7 people playing it, more than that the game gets laggy. The AI get much smarter and their range of shooting is much wider (they can shoot you from far away).

The morning Treasury re-lit map is the most worth and most effort spent on. The whole town feels like some deserted haunted town.

The music background in River Depot(Night and Day) is kinda scary even though i had no idea of the connection between the map and the music. You guys will just have to try it.

Back to the campaign again, i think the replayability is 3 times after you are able to complete it. More than that, it gets boring.

damn downloads making me crazy. went back home to check, it went down to 2%

If my earlier experiences with the co-operative campaign had not endured so, there would be no question - fifteen dollars is quite simply not a value that men of reason would associate with the GRAW Map Pack. But, drawing on that idea, let us move forward as though the powerful fraternal bonds forged in Campaign One were sufficient to assuage price related suffering to some degree. I realize that this moves our narrative into the realm of fiction.

The price is fifteen dollars, as we have established. Fifteen dollars is not an amount of points you can purchase. You can purchase them in allotments equivalent to ten dollars, or twenty dollars. If you are already a little angry about buying it, now you are paying even more for it. Will this busted-off hunk of digital value find some future use? Maybe. It's more likely that this sliver will need more points piled atop it to be useful. Is this vile, in some way? It's the classic microtransaction/stored value conundrum. Anytime you convert your wealth into tokens, that money is only "money" within the walls of the arcade.

I tried without success to obtain the update from six in the afternoon to eleven o'clock, starting the download, stopping it when it remained at the same level for forty-five minutes, queuing it and leaving the house, returning to find that it had left the queue, loading the game to use the content I had purchased for an amount which is making me increasingly angry and discovering that it had not actually downloaded. Beginning the download again, I see that it has thus far accrued no more than one one-hundredth of the file. The next time it inexplicably quits, at ten fifty-five, it has managed to collect a full twenty-four percent of the information I own but cannot use.

This is not the whole file, I think to myself. This is only twenty-four percent.

I did what any true gamer would do in this position - I gathered my mental state into a folksy ballad.

It's fine enough when you get it, I guess - you know what to expect if you've availed yourself of the original game's four mission campaign, and I have no desire to engage in rank spoilification if, like ourselves, your good sense has been evacuated and your engorged Buy Things Cortex is in absolute control. It's fine, yes, yes, fine - but the whole ordeal was born in fire. The price was a mistake, the network was not up to the task, and the next time I'm asked to make a choice of this kind there should be evidence that someone has thought seriously about both of these things.

(CW)TB out.

Ubisoft Announces Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter(tm) 2

Today Ubisoft, one of the world's largest video game publishers, announced that Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter(tm) 2, the next installment in the popular squad-based action franchise, is currently in development for the Xbox 360(tm) video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, the PlayStation(R)3 computer entertainment system, the PSP(R) system and Windows(R) PC. Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter(tm) 2 is being developed by the award-winning teams that created the original Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter(tm) in Ubisoft's Paris and Red Storm Studios. Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter(tm) 2 is scheduled for worldwide release in Spring 2007.

"Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter set the standard for what we know as the next-generation gaming experience," said Laurent Detoc, president of Ubisoft North America. "With Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2, Ubisoft is taking all the successful elements in the original to an unparalleled level of quality - the sophisticated technology, weaponry, graphics, story and online gameplay will heighten the intensity and bring gamers an even more amazing experience."

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter received critical acclaim and quickly became one of the best-selling games on Xbox 360 and one of the most played games on the Xbox Live(R) online gaming service. Recently, the prestigious British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) awarded Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter with "Best Game of the Year" and "Technical Achievement" honors.

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 builds off of the events in the first game and places gamers in control of the U.S. military's elite fighting unit, the Ghosts. In the year 2014, the rising conflict between Mexican loyalists and insurgent rebel forces has thrown Mexico into full-scale civil war. Under the command of Captain Scott Mitchell, the Ghosts are called upon to face an imminent threat to the United States. The fate of two countries now lies in the hands of the Ghosts as they fend off an attack on U.S. soil. Equipped with the most cutting-edge weaponry and technology, the Ghosts must battle on both sides of the border to neutralize the escalating rebel threat.


Key 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 situations and replenish armaments on the battlefield using an unmanned artillery MULE. Players can now heal their team on the battlefield, including squad leader Scott Mitchell, with an all-new Medic class of soldier.
