Video Gaming News - March 2005
San Francisco, CA (March 7, 2005) - Ubisoft today announced that the
first downloadable content for Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon 2 is now available for
download via Xbox Live.
From Ubisoft:
The DLC #1, available free of charge, includes the following:
3 MAPS:
These new maps will be available for many of the game types that shipped with
Ghost Recon 2, plus the 2 new game types included in this package.
Train Yard Interior: This level focuses gameplay exclusively in the complex
train station section of the Train Yard map. Shadowed areas with heavy cover
contrasted by unforgiving well-lit open terrain will provide for an intense
close-quarters combat experience. This map is great for small Squad or Solo
games.
Train Yard Forest: Battle it out in the heavily wooded nighttime setting of the
exterior forest from the Train Yard map. Keep to the shadows or brave the
well-lit roadway to gain the advantage over an unsuspecting enemy. This map is
particularly well suited for squad gametypes or larger solo games.
Railway Valley: This level concentrates on the furious action provided by the
wooded groves and rocky outcropping in the large valley of the Railway map.
Players will be able snipe approaching enemies from behind boulders or
stealthily attack from tree-cover. This map is great for any size solo or squad
gametype.
2 MODES:
These modes are available for play on most of the multiplayer maps that shipped
with Ghost Recon 2.
Recovery:
In the Ghost Recon variant of the classic Capture the Flag gametype players will
battle each other to capture and return a flag to their squad base. Each time
the flag is secured at a team’s base they will score 100 points and the flag
will be re-set back in the center of the map. Respawns are enabled to further
intense action experience. Solid Squad tactics and strategy are a must to
dominate in this gametype.
Assassination:
In the Assassination gametype squads are pitted against each other to defend or,
alternatively, assassinate an AI officer. When the game starts one squad will be
chosen to defend the officer while the other is charged will eliminating him.
Scores are based off of how long the officer is kept alive or how long it takes
to eliminate him. There are no respawns in this gametype so ever shot counts.
8 WEAPONS:
M8 Compact: The M8 Compact is a shortened version of the standard carbine. It is
highly maneuverable, although less accurate than other versions.
MP5 SD: The MP4 is a popular submachine gun. This version incorporates a
suppressor for quiet operation.

version is suppressed and fires special subsonic ammo.

cartridge.

on the battle proven G3.
