UbiSoft today announced new content for Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 would be made available through the Xbox Live Marketplace.
This new premium content package will enrich and extend the original game by allowing players to expand their Xbox LIVE experience with an all-new game mode and seven fan-favorite maps hand-selected from past Ghost Recon games. As a special thank you to the devoted Ghost Recon fans, Ubisoft is offering both Classic Pack 2 and the previously released Classic Pack 1, now available via the Xbox LIVE Marketplace for free download.
Sounds pretty cool to us, especially with the word "
free" tacked on. Classic Pack 2 will apparently contain a new game mode:
Co-op Exfiltration:
In Coop Exfiltration mode, players must work together to protect AI officers as they escort them to a helicopter extraction zone through a map populated with enemies.
As well as seven new maps ripped straight from classic Ghost Recon outings and each will support updated visuals and will also include all of the customisable stuff we've been enjoying with this series thus far. The maps are:
- Ghost Town
Previous Ghost Recon Title: Ghost Recon 2 Summit Strike®
Recommended # of Players: 2 to 8
Overview:
A rural North Korean village surrounds a temple courtyard. Narrow streets and back alleys make for intense close-quarters battles.
- Aral Sea
Previous Ghost Recon Title: Ghost Recon 2 Summit Strike
Recommended # of Players: 4 to 12
Overview:
This map is a forgotten harbor village on the coast of a vast, empty sea. Grounded ships provide sparse cover on the dried seabed dividing the map. The shelter of the docks above makes this map a favorite with marksmen.
- District
Previous Ghost Recon Title: Ghost Recon 2 Summit Strike
Recommended # of Players: 8 to 16
Overview:
This map is a government district of a large Kazakh city. Open city streets make for long-range firefights, while winding alleys create flanking opportunities.
- Bunkers
Previous Ghost Recon Title: Ghost Recon 2
Recommended # of Players: 4 to 12
Overview:
Training grounds feature several simulated bunker complexes divided by open ground with intermittent cover. Players must move quickly from cover to cover to avoid marksmen in the firing positions above.
- Rocky Cove
Previous Ghost Recon Title: Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter
Recommended # of Players: 4 to 12
Overview:
This is a coastal area, featuring tidal pools and an imposing central promontory. Beaches are littered with large rocks, and long sight lines invite marksmen to test their skill.
- Boneyard
Previous Ghost Recon Title: Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter
Recommended # of Players: 2 to 8
Overview:
This is a vehicle graveyard, with rusting aircraft parts and scrap metal piled all around. Tight quarters ensure no one is ever far from the action.
- River Depot
Previous GR Title: Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter
Recommended # of Players: 6 to 12 players
Overview:
This is an old, abandoned storage facility, overrun by the surrounding jungle and repurposed for military use. Deteriorating railways run the length of the map, connecting two gates on higher ground to a warehouse near the river.
