Multiplayer Pack 2
Posted by Rocky on Monday, July 31 2006
The release of the second multiplayer pack for Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter PC must be just around the corner, as Ubisoft have released some detailed information on the contents.

In addition to screenshots from the new maps, there is a Question and Answer session that reveals details on two new game types and how they can be customised, the new maps, playability fixes, and interface improvements. Forum discussion underway here.

Teen Nomination
Posted by Rocky on Wednesday, July 26 2006
So what's Jessica Simpson doing on the front page of GhostRecon.net (as if we needed an excuse)?

Well, her picture is on the front page of TeenPeople.com, whose Teen Choice 2006 award show is airing live on Fox next month, with Jessica as co-host.

Why is this of interest? Because Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter has been nominated in the Teen Choice 2006 : Video Game category! The bad news is, in order to vote, you have to be a teenager, that probably rules out about 80% of our members here. But hey - it was worth mentioning for the link action - enjoy!

Sig Awards #27!
Posted by zjj on Tuesday, July 25 2006
Due to our GDC guru taking an unexpected vacation (Mexican prison?) we're reopening the Sig Award Contest for session 27! Lower key than the full blown Graphic Design contests of late, but still award-winning. The current theme is "As Time Goes By".

Improvise, design, splat emotions onto paper, whatever works for you, but keep it within the forum rules, get it in before August 6, and get a chance at fame, fortune, well, neither of those, but a nifty special award image for the best interpretation.

Enter soon, and have fun!

GR:AW PC Map Pack #2
Posted by Rocky on Friday, July 21 2006
Ubisoft have announced the next official update for Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter on the PC. There's a screenshot from the new Hamburgerhill gametype, and word on a new killcam feature. The actual function of the killcam may not be as described in the official news post, and could actually be an observer mode for dead players, not a conventional killcam like in the Xbox 360 version, which reveals who made the kill shot. You can find clarification on that in our forums here.
