G.R.A.W: Now With More Places to Snipe Mexicans

Tags: G.R.A.W., Xbox, FPS

Ubisoft announced yesterday the release of Chapter 2 Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter content available for download via the Xbox Live Marketplace. At a hefty cost of 1200 points, I was a little hesitant to get that download action going. Of course, when I saw that 2 new camouflage patterns were added, one of which being Canadian, how could I not give in.

Included in the package are 4 new co-op campaign missions: Coffee Plantation (Day), Shipping Port (Evening), River Depot (Dawn), and Jungle Mine (Day). 8 favorite maps, revisited and more importantly relit, for a new playing experience. May I interject and I say I loathe night maps, and I refuse to play multiplayer on them. There are also two new game types to one game mode: Team Battle, with Team Blind Siege and Team Battle. 4 New Faces have been added -- where are the ladies?! -- with new camouflage patterns.

And lastly, new weapons! I generally stick to the MR-C, though on occasion I'll use a SCAR-L. Anyhow, here is the list of new weapons:

SR-25 SD (Marksman)
Description - "7.62x51mmSS - Combining the power of the SR-25 rifle with a suppressor, the SR-25 SD Sniper rifle is lethal, accurate, and quiet."
Game Info - Silenced, 20 rounds per mag, 10 mags (increased for marksmen), Single Shot, 8x and 16x Zoom

M468 (Rifleman)
Description - "6.8x43mm - This updated version of the standard US carbine uses a larger round to provide greater lethality against both armored and unarmored targets."
Game Info - 28 rounds per mag, 10 mags (increased for grenadiers), Single Shot and Full Auto, 3x Zoom

M468/M320 (Grenadier)
Description - "6.8x43mm/40mm - The standard M468 with attached M320 grenade launcher provides a versatile dual-purpose firing platform."
Game Info - 28 rounds per mag, 10 mags (increased for grenadiers), Single Shot and Full Auto, 3x Zoom

AK-47 LMG (Gunner)
Description - "7.62x39mm - Modified from the classic AK-47 the AK-47 LMG includes a 75 round drum magazine, and shares most of the characteristics of the AK-47."
Game Info - 75 rounds per magazine, 6 mags (increased for gunners). Fully Auto Only, no zoom

SCAR-H SV (Rifleman)
Description - "7.62x51mm - This version of the SCAR-H rifle comes with a standard barrel and improved optics, making it better for long-range shooting."

See y'all in game!

Best Title Ever.

It's about time Hollywood and game developers stop giving us communists, arabs, and space aliens to gun down. Now we can fight the real enemy. Mexicans from the future in home made Road Warrior like trucks!

They chucked some (free) new content out for the PC version as well, although it doesn't look like it's as extensive. (Map editor, though.)
