Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2 review
Ubisoft’s award-winning shooter that was founded on the PC returns
with Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter® 2, designed
specifically for the PC gamer by GRIN. Building on the foundation of Ghost
Recon Advanced Warfighter, the sequel is a near-future warfare masterpiece.
Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 for the PC screams tactics, and
you’ll need to bring your best to bear if you are going to get the
Ghosts past their latest challenge… 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 U.S.
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.
Vastly Improved Multiplayer Huge variety of modes from classic team
deathmatch to the exclusive recon vs. assault. Top-Notch Tactical Gameplay
PC-exclusive tactical maps and non-linear missions in both indoor and
outdoor environments. More Options Mean More Strategies Your team is more
customizable and has grown with the addition of a communications
specialist. New team play options abound including the "bubble
system," which rewards players for more cohesive teamwork. 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
protect their home turf in El Paso, Texas. Each environment presents its
own benefits and challenges and will call for fresh tactical approaches.
More Technology and Firepower All systems have been upgraded to give
players more power and control on the battlefield, including an improved
Cross-Com. Cross-Com 2.0 will go full screen with the click of a button,
enabling you to deliver more precise and deadly attacks. Overhauled
Graphics and AI Battle your way through a highly realistic near-future
warfare experience against a much smarter enemy. They’ll try to flank
your position or gain strategic vantage points in order to take you down.
But don’t worry - your team has your back. Their AI has been upgraded
as well. They’ll feed you more of the information you need with
descriptive commands like "enemy spotted behind red truck ahead."
