Downloadable Content for Ghost Recon 2
Company: Ubisoft Entertainment
Product: Tom Clancy?s Ghost Recon 2
Ubisoft has revealed the first downloadable content for Tom Clancy?s Ghost Recon 2, which is now available for download via Xbox Live. The DLC #1 is free of charge, and includes the following:

Three Maps:
These new maps are available for many of the modes that shipped with Ghost Recon 2, plus the two new modes 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 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 game-types 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 are able to snipe approaching enemies from behind boulders or stealthily attack from tree-cover. This map is great for any size solo or squad mode.

Two 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 game-type, players 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 score 100 points and the flag is 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 mode.
  • Assassination: In this mode, squads are pitted against each other to defend or, alternatively, assassinate an A.I. officer. When the game starts, one squad is chosen to defend the officer while the other is charged with 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 mode, so every shot counts.

Eight 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.
  • S9 SD Sniper: The S9 is an advanced marksman version of the G36 rifle. This version is suppressed and fires special subsonic ammo.
  • Mk 48 LMG: The Mk 48 LMG is an update to the Mk46, firing the more powerful 7.62 cartridge.
  • FAMAS G2: The bullpup FAMAS G2 is the standard infantry rifle of the French army. It is known for its high rate of fire.
  • FAMAS/M203S: This is a standard FAMAS G2 with an attached M203 launcher.
  • MSG-90: Used by the German Army, the MSG-90 is a powerful sniper platform based on the battle proven G3.
  • AS56 SA W: Designed to increase the capabilities of the M4, the AS56 is essentially a belt-fed M4, creating a compact SA W.

Two Skins:

  • New Ghosts Set with Digital Camo from the U.S. Army.
  • New set of Korean enemies.
