Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 Hands-On - Multiplayer





It would have been a lot easier to simply port over the Xbox 360 version of the game, but then it wouldn't have felt like a PC shooter. Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 is scheduled to ship in June 2007.

In GRAW2, the US Army's elite special forces unit, the Ghosts, is again deployed to Mexico to deal with a force of rebels threatening the United States. The PC version is being developed by GRIN, the Swedish studio that also handled the work on the first GRAW PC game. The action in GRAW2 remains in first person, as opposed to the Xbox 360's third-person gameplay, so you're always looking through the eyes of your character.




Now, there are five major classes in the game: demolitions, assault, rifleman, support, and sniper. The demolitions class is armed with a grenade launcher-equipped assault rifle, whereas the assault class is armed with a carbine that's good for close-quarters battle. The rifleman class is the most versatile class, since it's armed with a standard assault rifle. The support class provides heavy fire in the form of a light machine gun, while the sniper specializes in picking enemies off from afar.
