i really want this game it looks awsome and i think that i should be able to ger it when it comes out!
GRAW2 MP demo en route
Player-versus-player, player-with-player sample of Ubisoft's tactical shooter headed to Xbox Live Marketplace on February 26.
Last year, Ubisoft took the tactic of releasing demos for Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advance Warfighter after the game was released. A multiplayer demo was released about three weeks after the game hit shelves, and a single-player demo hit Xbox Live almost a month after that.
But with the next-gen software war in full swing, the publisher is changing its tactics for Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2. Earlier this month, Ubisoft dispatched the game's single-player demo and left gamers wanting more by ending the demo during a hectic firefight against a helicopter with the words "To be continued."
Now, Ubisoft is sending another preemptive strike on the game's March release by deploying a second GRAW2 demo early next week. On Monday, February 26, gamers will get a taste of the multiplayer portion of the shooter.
The demo features one map--dubbed Outpost--and features both cooperative and versus play. Those who want to test their mettle can also enter to play against the game's developers at Red Storm Entertainment by heading over to the UK Ghost Recon Web site.
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 for the Xbox 360 is due out in early March. The game is also in development for the PC, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation Portable. For more information, read GameSpot's previous coverage.

I'll wait to buy the game when it comes out but I'm sure it'll be great, don't wanna tease myself with that download
Advanced Warfighter has brought excitement back to the franchise, which had sort of lost its way after migrating from the PC onto the XBOX. Hopefully they'll do better on the non-Microsoft versions of the game this time around.
I have no doubts the single player will be awesome. The multi-player should have major improvements over GRAW , can't wait to check this out!
I've never liked multiplayer demos. They normally tend to pull me away from the game rather than draw me to it. I still might try it anyways though.
So, let me guess? It's going to be as much crap as the GRAW 2 campaigne demo? Start a 20 minute round, then 5 minutes into the match - as things start to heat up - the game will fade into a nice, "To Be Continued..."
The only reason X360 are getting these exclusive demos first before PS3 is by MS paying them sellout developers. I think it's dumn on the developers part in making exclusive demos, it's not going to help them sell on the PS3 doing stupid moves like that.
Yes another demo. I wanted to see how it would holdup on ps3 but i guess without dls for PSN i will have to wait till the game comes out or until some reviews come out
WTF... where is the PS3 demo? Why the heck are the devs ditching the PSN? This is seriously angering me.
Nice, but i'll buy the game anyway. Plus i still have to actually start playing the first one for real...
Hmmm. . . I wasn't very interested in this game, but maybe the co-op multiplayer will convince me. We need more games with co-op multiplayer!
lol funny how people say stuff like "take that PSN!" how does this not being on the psn benefit you? i have a ps3 and wish i got this demo too, but i don't understand statements like that. grow up.
