Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter Download PC

The Microsoft Windows version of Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter is played from a first-person perspective. This version features larger levels than those of the console versions with enemy AI more likely to use ambush tactics, thus greater emphasises is placed upon using squad tactics and having more situational awareness in each mission in order to achieve success. The cross-com system in this version is more flexible, capable of issuing more controlled commands to individual squad members, as well as plotting out attack routes and battle plans for other friendly units. In addition, player's cannot take discarded weapons, unlike the other versions, but can take ammunition from the weapons of dead enemies or allies, if the player's weapon is of the same caliber.

Unlike other versions, players may choose the weapons for their selected Ghost team before the start of a mission, although this is done with no briefing given, with each Ghost member being able to carry a primary weapon and a secondary weapon, while either carrying extra ammunition or a heat-seeking anti-tank weapon. Unlike other versions, every Ghost member has a maximum weight limit on how much they can carry, with them becoming fatigued from sprinting at a much faster rate, the more equipment they are carrying, while weapons may be modified with various attachments, such as optical sights, grenade launchers, silencers, and vertical foregrips. Every modification has used on a weapon has its advantages and disadvantages. For example, attaching a grenade launcher reduce accuracy and adds weight, but adds extra firepower including the ability to take out multiple targets with grenades, while adding a silencer reduces noise and muzzle flash of a weapon at the expense of accuracy and range.

The Microsoft Windows version can take advantage of the presence of a PhysX card, however the enhancements are only cosmetic and do not affect gameplay.

Multiplayer

Online multiplayer on the Microsoft Windows edition has both versus and co-op mode. Versus mode features 32 players, which is double that of the Xbox 360 version. The online co-op mode only supports up to 4 players maximum on Windows (the Xbox 360 version supports up to 16 co-op players).

For those with the Xbox 360 version, some new Xbox Live features are included. For the Xbox 360 version the co-operative campaign (which currently features 8 missions - 4 of which are now available on the Xbox Live Marketplace) and multiplayer maps are all set in Nicaragua as a follow-up to the Mexico City missions of the single player campaign.

On June 22, Ubisoft released the Chapter 2 Downloadable Content for 1,200 Microsoft Points on the Xbox Live Marketplace.

The price of 1,200 Points was later reduced to 600.

In the UK, a special Game of the Year edition was released in late 2006 containing a card enabling the player to obtain (for free) all the marketplace content, including the Chapter 2 download. The game is also budget priced.

The PlayStation 2 and Xbox versions have some similar online game modes and can be played with up to 8 players.

Plot

Setting

The story, written by Gérard Lehiany, unfolds entirely across a realistic and detailed modelling of Mexico City, one of the world's largest cities. The events take place in 2013 and over a period of three days, and each mission's environment ranges from heavily industrialized areas to local parks and landmarks to office districts.

Story

In 2013, seeking to unify their countries' security and to combat the smuggling of drugs and weapons, and the movement of terrorists between their borders, the Canadian prime minister and U.S. President Ballantine travel to Mexico City for a summit with Mexican President Ruiz-Peña, to sign an important treaty known as the North American Joint Security Agreement (NAJSA). At the same time, a team of the elite Ghost Recon force, led by Captain Scott Mitchell, is sent into the city to intercept a deal taking place and recover Guardrail IX, a U.S. device capable of disrupting wireless communications, which had been taken from a spy plane that was shot down in Nicaragua. However, complications arise when a coup d'état begins in Mexico City, forcing General Joshua Keating, the Ghost's primary commander, to abort the mission so that Mitchell can locate and extract both Ballantine and Ruiz-Peña, who both went into hiding shortly after Mexican rebels attacked the summit, killing the Canadian prime minister in the process.

Although the Ghosts rescue both VIPs, rebel anti-air forces Ballantine to hold at the perimeter of the city's airport until it is neutralized, while an attempt by rebels to kill the Mexican president fails after he survives an explosion at the U.S. embassy and a massive assault by them is thwarted by the Ghosts. During this time, news reports confirm that the coup is being spearheaded by a rebel special forces group called the Aguila 7, led by members opposed to NAJSA, including General Ontiveros, and his son Colonel Carlos Ontiveros, a former student of Bud, Mitchell's friend and a UH-60 pilot. Seeking to re-establish order, Ruiz-Peña allows U.S. forces to combat the rebellion, with Mitchell ordered by Major General Martin to help clear a path into the city, whereupon he neutralizes artillery and anti-air weapons, assaults Chapultepec Castle, and eventually secures some of the 50 M1A2 Abrams tanks given to the Mexican government as part of NAJSA signing, to help combat rebel armor. But during his efforts to secure the tanks, Aguila 7 ambush the troops guarding Ballantine and capture the U.S. president, forcing Mitchell to locate him in the city's shanty district and extract him once more.
