You read it here first, because the announcement is hidden away amongst Ubisoft's financial statement released today, but there it is in black and white...

"Ubisoft today announces the launch in the fiscal fourth quarter of Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter™ 2, which will capitalize on the first episode’s success (more than 2.4 millions copies sold).This launch will take the place of Assassin’s Creed™ and Brothers In Arms Hell’s Highway™..."

GR:AW is also singled out in the 2nd Quarter Highlights where it's success at the BAFTA awards and on Xbox live are singled out as a major success.

Posted by Dannik on Tuesday, October 24 2006
Sig Awards #29 is now in progress!

This one is an homage to our missing Graphics Master, the.ronin

Is he on a sabbatical? Mexican prison? Undercover with the CIA? Drunk on a beach in Majorca? We don't know, but we're counting on you, trusty sig masters, to find out for us!

Prizes, as always, include absolutely nothing, other than bragging rights. That and a t-shirt. To claim your prize, find a t-shirt you already have, pull out a marker, and write "I won my own shirt in a GR.net sig contest." We won't laugh. A lot.

With GR:AW Xbox 360 winning Game of the Year this month at the BAFTA awards, we thought fans of the game might like an insiders view of the development process the game went through. So with that in mind, today we are publishing a four page interview with the developers, taken at their studios in North Carolina just as they were taking GR:AW to beta stage of development.

Five of the Red Storm Entertainment team gave HatchetForce and ZJJ a superb interview, revealing much of the development process that GR:AW went through. We hope you enjoy the interview, as it took many hours of transcription by ZJJ and coding by Dannik to get it online, read it here!
