http://ghostrecon.us.ubi.com/newsarchives.phpGRAW2 Throwback Pack Out Now Your favorite maps and modes from GRAW remastered. Available exclusively on Xbox Live!
This map pack costs 800 Microsoft points and includes seven remakes of multiplayer maps from not only GRAW, but Ghost Recon 2 and Ghost Recon 2: Summit Strike. Maps included are Bonfires, Desert Gulch, Fishing Village, Jungle Mines, Mountain Base, Mountain Falls, and Peninsula. And if you need a little more information about the new maps before you commit to a purchase, head over to IGN as they have a nice preview of each map.
In Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon 3, players will embody Captain Scott Mitchell as he commands the Ghosts and Special Forces allies equipped with the IWS (Integrated Warfighter System) in the quest to save the president of the United States, recover stolen nuclear codes and eliminate a vicious band of renegade soldiers hell-bent on unleashing catastrophe. The game unfolds entirely in Mexico City, where numerous, meticulously researched and detailed environments will deliver complete immersion into the future of urban warfare.
e Ghosts are back! It’s 2014, and the soldier of the future returns to encounter a new and more imminent threat along the recently completed wall on the U.S./Mexico border. The Ghosts are more powerful with an upgraded Integrated Warfighter System (IWS) but will have only 72 hours to assess the threat and stop the rebels from reaching US soil. With a border that’s 1,900 miles long and an enemy that doesn’t play by the rules, this is a job for the U.S. military’s most elite fighting unit. This is a job for the Ghosts.

Dash Text: [ESRB: T (Teen) BLOOD,LANGUAGE,VIOLENCE] GRAW2 Throwback Pack 2 consists of 7 classic maps from Ghost Recon’s illustrious history. In addition to the 7 maps, there is a new game mode called Co-op Exfiltration. All of these maps have upgraded visuals and support all of GRAW2’s thousands of customizable game modes.
Size: 582.51 MB
Exfiltration is a coop mode that plays out like a series of rescue missions. There are two preset game types, Evasion and POW. In Evasion, you start with an allied officer near your insertion and your team has to lead him through enemy patrols and vehicles to a designated helicopter extraction point. In POW, there are three officers that start in the captivity of enemy forces. You have to eliminate the guards, then lead the prisoners out of the area. The trick to POW is that once the guards are attacked, they could decide to eliminate the prisoners. This leads to some cool scenarios where players have to move into position without being detected, then coordinate a simultaneous attack on the guards around a prisoner to ensure success.
As with all other game modes, Exfiltration works across all maps and has customization options (number of allies, enemy difficulty, etc.). This is definitely a cool addition to our coop modes as it adds something more along the lines of a full mission, except compatible across all maps.
Due to hit the gaming LZ in the next few weeks, the Co-Op Collection offers up no less then five brand new co-op campaign missions, which duly pick up the narrative thread of Advanced Warfighter 2.

CO-OP MAPS
New Co-op Campaign – Story: Manuel Suazo Azcona has emerged as the leader of a new rebel movement in El Salvador. Azcona’s plan seems to be an attempt to destabilize the governments of both El Salvador and neighboring Honduras. Once their respective governments are weakened, he will incite the people to try and overthrow both countries’ U.S.-backed leaders. The Ghosts are being sent in to quell this uprising before it starts. They must first stop the rebel incursions over the two nations’ shared border and then hunt down the rebel leaders one by one. If they fail, America’s efforts in the region could be set back by decades.
Caves – (Ghost Recon®)
Azcona’s squads are using the nearby caves as an operational base for raiding army convoys across the river. Detain and extract the rebel leader and recon the area for any hidden weapon caches.

Battlefield – (Ghost Recon)
The last rebel unit in the area is holed up in the village of Venta. An allied armor unit on the edge of town is pinned down by artillery. Ghosts, knock out the enemy comm transmitter, then escort the armor through the village.

http://www.xboxic.com/news/4453It appears the sequel to 2006’s very successful Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter still has some juice left, despite being available at retail since March 2007. Well, at least Ubisoft thinks so. Coming to store shelves next month is GRAW 2 Legacy Edition, a beefed up re-release of the GRAW follow-up (think Oblivion: Game of the Year Edition).
GRAW 2 Legacy Edition will include everything the original did, plus an additional disk packed to the brim with all the GRAW 2 downloadable content released so far. The best bit is that it will retail for $29.99; that’s right, half the price of the original!
- 32 additional maps, a combination of new maps and best of maps!
- New exciting game modes and a large variety of exclusive ground-breaking missions
- Exclusive additional weapons that enrich the tactical possibilities in Single Player
