The Ghost Recon series from Ubisoft teaches gamers a thing or two about patience. Rather than the run-and-gun style of most war games, the franchise places an emphasis on tactics, and can result in gamers waiting patiently and silently in the brush to try to get the perfect shot.
However, gamers have been neither patient nor silent since Ubisoft tantalized them with the announcement that an Xbox 360 demo of Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter was coming soon. Across the Web, Xbox 360 owners have vocally pleaded for the file so they can get their GRAW on. Ubisoft has announced that those waiting for the demo will finally be able to pull the trigger, as it will be available today for free on Xbox Live Marketplace.
The multiplayer sampling of the popular game, which was released on March 9, features one map, the military junkyard known as the Boneyard. There won't be any cooperative modes in the demo, but all multiplayer competitive modes will be available and up to 16 players can play at once.
A demo for one of the game's biggest competitors in retail, Battlefield 2: Modern Combat, just went live yesterday. BF2:MC is set for release in April.
[UPDATE] The demo is now up and ready for download from Xbox Live Marketplace.
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advance Warfighter is rated T for Teen and retails for $59.99. For more information on the game, read GameSpot's review.
hi my name is edd
i can't wait for it
I don't consider this one multiplayer level doing this game justice just buy the damn thing go crazy in the single player then have some fun later on in the multiplayer.
Its better to get the 360 version of this game the pc version wont be nearly as good (its just a port of the ps2 and xbox versions of the game)
Neat. Two great demos to download tonight! But i'll most probably end up buying both games...
I think I saw some one trying it out in bestbuy last weekend.
man - they picked the only map I don't like for the DEMO. Oh well, hopefully prospective buyers can see past that.
Cool, I'll download it tonight.
good i dont have it yet now i can try it first
I'll give it a try.
Dont waste your time on the demo!! Just drop what you are doing and go buy it right now. You wont be sorry.
Bit late but I guess it's good for people who weren't too sure about the whole squad based aspect of the game, oh wait it's the multiplayer part, bah >.
i want a demo for the pc..
I hope the boneyard becomes available in multiplayer for regular gameplay.
Why couldn't the demo come out before the game did? Doesn't that make more sense or is it just me?
What do you mean it's too late? If everybody already has the game then that's great. But that's not the case, there are alwase poeple without it, so a demo can never be too late.
Just like with most video game magazine's, it's too late to deliver a demo for a hit game. Everyone has it !!! To little, too late.
Already have it, a little late for a demo but it might push some potential buyers over the fence.
Where is this demo? All I get are trailers. Is it for Gold account members only (I have a silver account).
the map is terrible so is the MP
Ghost Recon is a good series of games...but I think I've had my fill of them.
its unfortunate they're using the worest map to represent their demo. should have used Wharf or Rocky cove
oh yeah!!
yay for demos!
WTH. Copying SOCOM eh? SOCOM 3 has a Boneyard map. Pfft, go with your own style and maps Ubisoft.
Heray!!!...I think ?!
Great! When will I get a 360!
No need to try it. Go get it (and a 360 if you don't have one!)
am i in a time warp here or something,the game came out ages ago!!!!
Great news, not to mention it's a free multiplayer weekend too! Viva 360!
cant wait!
Sounds good to me.
Right in time for the Xbox 360 free gold weekend.
already bought it so this demo really doesn't matter to me.
ill sell you mine for 34 bucks.
I wish I could try a demo on PC...
EXCELLENT. It's the only reason why I haven't bought the game by now. Thanks, Ubi.
G'luck to them and their future endeavors.
Why the hell would you not have this game already if you own a 360? This game is really, really good. It deserves the rating it got on Gamespot.
this game looks freakin awesome...
Yah, I kinda have the game...
You don't need to try this game just buy the damn thing lol.
man first EA makes shiatty games and now Ubi is slowly ignoring the PC market. Maybe Ill give up games and learn to sew. everyone says they beat it and are tired of it, the original GR on live is still being played by alot, maybe you guys should try it online.
it seams like it would have been a better idea to release this before the game came out
Sweet getting my 360 this weekend..... oh crap i forgot my live is messed up.... damn it
really cool
Too late , I already finished on normal and hard.
its a great game but it doesnt compare to oblivion
This game looks friggin' sweet. It'll be one of my first purchases on the 360 when I get it.
They are really ramping up on the Demos that will be availabile for the FREE online weekend
