Today Ubisoft, one of the world’s largest video game publishers, announced that Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2, the next installment in the popular squad-based action franchise, is currently in development for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 , PSP and Windows PC. Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter™ 2 is being developed by the award-winning teams that created the original Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter™ in Ubisoft’s Paris and Red Storm Studios. Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 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® 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 2 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.

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter launched nearly 20 years ago, but remains an easy recommendation even today.
It's 20 years old and we can still play it. Are we going to be able to play Avatar and Star Wars Outlaws in 20 years?
Digital Foundry : In a new Retro PC Time Capsule video, John and Alex go back to cross-gen gaming, 2006-style, with Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter. Join us for a look back at a time where Xbox 360 out-performed mainstream PCs by a long chalk, resulting in some games receiving almost completely different versions of the 'same game'... and not even Ageia PhysX support can help PC on this one! Meanwhile, it's a sorry state of affairs once we get to look at the PS2 version of the game.
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter and Assassin's Creed Liberation HD are now Xbox Backwards Compatible games available for Xbox One.
The multiplayer coop was some of the series best work! Glad to see it here but it’s a shame the multiplayer doesn’t work anymore, really wanted to play coop missions with my buddy again but forgot all the old servers are offline
I stand corrected, multiplayer does work! Unfortunately the only game I found suffered the problems of the original, spawn camping and grenade launcher spam. Oh well, seems to run at an uncapped frame rate too.
GRAW was really good, and it was among the few games (cod 2, fight night round 3) that kinda a my mind graphically when I first saw them, definitely showed me a new generation was here. The
Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter represents the best of Ubisoft during their golden age.

I never played the Xbox 360 version of GRAW1, just the crappy PC and PS2 versions, which were essentially completely different games. Looking forward to playing through the campaign, and playing some co-op if at all possible.
The pc version was not crappy, it was a more tactical game than the action oriented 360 version but still high quality
The ps2 and xbox (Og xbox) was complete crap however
I couldn't stand the PC version. It felt like a total corner crawler, and the cross-com never worked properly on the PC.
Nice, GRAW was such a great series.
I wish we got a 3rd one, but it wouldn’t be the same.
Nice little teaser even though it was only on 10 seconds, But still it did say there is gonna be a new Trailer November 13th, Cant wait.
But I would rather wait for Halo 3 or Gears 2!
It will behoove you to give this titles a shot j/k. The game looks great. The first one is one of my favorite Next-gen games.
the first one rocks and thank god their fixing the AI I cant stand playing babysitter
thanks
