About Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon 2 Summit Strike
The Kazakh President has been assassinated by a Pakistani warlord attempting to

forces to track him and his military across Kazakhstan. The Ghosts are the only
chance to thwart his attacks against high profile targets and to prevent
national devastation.

multiple objectives that can be completed in the order that the player chooses.
Objectives can be approached from several directions and different strategies
can be used to complete each objective.

single-player missions in which the Ghosts fight through some of Kazakhstan’s
harshest terrain.

helicopters that are hunting them through the map. In the squad game type,

opponents’ armored vehicles.
