Funny thing about that is can't unlock them yet.<br /><br />The list of eight new achievements come straight from the bowels of Xbox.com and correspond to various <em>GRAW2</em> co-op mission completions as well as killing tasks on any "GRAW 2: CC map". But know that these achievements are not the same ones released with last year's <em>GRAW2</em> <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/10/17/graw-2-getting-co-op-collection-expansion/">Co-Op Collection DLC</a>, these are freshly new and totally unannounced co-op missions. So, that means only one thing to us: more DLC. We expect these new achievements to correspond to another round of paid (or free) <em>GRAW2 </em>DLC that will be making its way to the XBLM soon'ish. You are on alert.<br /><br />[Thanks, Brad]<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p><p><a href=http://www.xbox360achievements.org/news/news.php?id=788>Read</a> | <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2008/02/29/new-graw2-achievements-means-more-dlc/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/forward/1128412/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2008/02/29/new-graw2-achievements-means-more-dlc/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>achievements</category><category>ghost-recon-advanced-warfighter-2</category><category>graw-2</category><category>graw2</category><category>ubisoft</category><category>xblm</category><dc:creator>Dustin Burg</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 29 Feb 2008 17:15:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Video: GRAW 2 co-op DLC</title><link>http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2008/01/30/video-graw-2-co-op-dlc/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2008/01/30/video-graw-2-co-op-dlc/</guid><comments>http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2008/01/30/video-graw-2-co-op-dlc/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/category/news/" rel="tag">News</a>, <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/category/xbox-live-marketplace/" rel="tag">Xbox Live Marketplace</a>, <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/category/ghost-recon-advanced-warfighter-2/" rel="tag">Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2</a></p><center><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"  codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" id="gtembed" width="415" height="339">	<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" /> 	<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /> <param name="movie" value="http://www.gametrailers.com/remote_wrap.php?mid=30069"/> <param name="quality" value="high" /> <embed src="http://www.gametrailers.com/remote_wrap.php?mid=30069" swLiveConnect="true" name="gtembed" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" allowFullScreen="true" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="415" height="339"></embed> </object></center>Hey, kids! Still playing that <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/tag/graw2"><em>Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2</em></a> game? Do you feel like you need something new? Maybe you saw the fancy, newfangled <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2008/01/29/new-graw-2-maps-weapons-and-co-op-content/">Co-op Collection</a> content pack that was released yesterday, and maybe you found yourself wondering if it was worth 800 MS Points. You thought to yourself, "that's a lot of scratch," perhaps. Well, as usual, we're here to help. <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/tag/Ubisoft/">Ubisoft</a> released a little <a href="http://www.gametrailers.com/player/30068.html">teaser video</a> that shows off all the levels available in the new content pack. The co-op campaign is comprised of 5 missions from previous <em>Ghost Recon</em> titles (3 from <em>Ghost Recon</em>, 2 from <em>Ghost Recon: Island Thunder</em>). The pack also includes four new adversarial maps, two of which are remakes of old favorites (Castle and Prison). Check out the video and see if it's worth opening your wallet.<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p><p><a href=http://www.gametrailers.com/player/30068.html>Read</a> | <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2008/01/30/video-graw-2-co-op-dlc/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/forward/1101659/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2008/01/30/video-graw-2-co-op-dlc/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>ghost-recon-advanced-warfighter</category><category>ghost-recon-advanced-warfighter-2</category><category>graw</category><category>graw-2</category><category>graw2</category><category>ubisoft</category><category>xblm</category><dc:creator>Richard Mitchell</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 30 Jan 2008 13:00:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>New GRAW 2 maps, weapons and co-op content [update]</title><link>http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2008/01/29/new-graw-2-maps-weapons-and-co-op-content/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2008/01/29/new-graw-2-maps-weapons-and-co-op-content/</guid><comments>http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2008/01/29/new-graw-2-maps-weapons-and-co-op-content/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/category/news/" rel="tag">News</a>, <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/category/xbox-live-marketplace/" rel="tag">Xbox Live Marketplace</a>, <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/category/ghost-recon-advanced-warfighter-2/" rel="tag">Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2</a></p><a href="http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/3291043913/m/7581028826?r=1091028926#1091028926"><img alt="" hspace="4" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.xbox360fanboy.com/media/2008/01/graw2eyerighrjasd.jpg" align="right" vspace="4" border="0" /></a><font color="#ff0000">Update:</font> The Co-op Collection is now on the XBLM (shame on us for doubting Ubi), but the More Guns Pack is still MIA.<br /><br />Ubisoft's UK forum manager posted an official press release on the Ubisoft forums telling of new <a href="http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/3291043913/m/7581028826?r=1091028926#1091028926"><em>GRAW 2</em> downloadable content</a> that's scheduled to make its way to the XBLM today. We say scheduled, because it has yet to make it there and to be frank, daylight is running out.<br /><br />The new 800 Microsoft point Co-op Collection DLC will feature five new co-op missions, a total of nine new multiplayer maps (seven of them being remakes) and nine new achievements totaling 125 Gamerscore. Ubisoft is also giving away a free More Guns Pack download that'll add seven new weapons to<em> GRAW 2</em>'s single player campaign. Again, both the Co-op Collection and More Guns Pack DLC should be available sometime today, but we have a hunch that the content will make an appearance sometime later this week. Our fingers are crossed though.<br /><br />[Thanks, xenocidic]<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p><p><a href=http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/3291043913/m/7581028826?r=1091028926#1091028926>Read</a> | <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2008/01/29/new-graw-2-maps-weapons-and-co-op-content/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/forward/1100383/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2008/01/29/new-graw-2-maps-weapons-and-co-op-content/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>ghost-recon-advanced-warfighter-2</category><category>graw-2</category><category>graw-ii</category><category>ubisoft</category><category>xblm</category><dc:creator>Dustin Burg</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 29 Jan 2008 14:15:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>GRAW 2 getting Co-Op Collection expansion</title><link>http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/10/17/graw-2-getting-co-op-collection-expansion/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/10/17/graw-2-getting-co-op-collection-expansion/</guid><comments>http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/10/17/graw-2-getting-co-op-collection-expansion/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/category/news/" rel="tag">News</a>, <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/category/xbox-live-marketplace/" rel="tag">Xbox Live Marketplace</a>, <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/category/ghost-recon-advanced-warfighter-2/" rel="tag">Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2</a></p><center><a href="http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/827/827831p1.html"><img alt="" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.xbox360fanboy.com/media/2007/10/graw2cooooooopcollect.jpg" align="top" vspace="4" border="0" /></a></center>Ubisoft has plans to make <em>GRAW 2</em> fresh again by releasing a new campaign / multiplayer expansion sometime later this month or early November. The <a href="http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/827/827831p2.html"><em>GRAW 2</em> Co-Op Collection</a> expansion includes five new campaign missions and nine new multiplayer maps while adding an additional 125 Gamerscore to the mix with nine achievements. Complete details on all the new campaign missions, maps and achievements can be viewed over at IGN, but after giving the expansion content a look over we still have one question on our mind. We wonder if the Co-Op Collection is going to be enough to draw us away from our current FPS gaming rotation and bring us back to <em>GRAW 2</em>.<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p><p><a href=http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/827/827831p1.html>Read</a> | <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/10/17/graw-2-getting-co-op-collection-expansion/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/forward/1015074/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/10/17/graw-2-getting-co-op-collection-expansion/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>ghost-recon-advanced-warfighter-2</category><category>graw2</category><category>ubisoft</category><category>xblm</category><dc:creator>Dustin Burg</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 17 Oct 2007 10:15:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Second GRAW 2 Throwback Pack is now free</title><link>http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/08/28/second-graw-2-throwback-pack-is-now-free/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/08/28/second-graw-2-throwback-pack-is-now-free/</guid><comments>http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/08/28/second-graw-2-throwback-pack-is-now-free/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/category/news/" rel="tag">News</a>, <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/category/xbox-live-marketplace/" rel="tag">Xbox Live Marketplace</a>, <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/category/ghost-recon-advanced-warfighter-2/" rel="tag">Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2</a></p><center><a href="http://www.majornelson.com/archive/2007/08/28/graw-2-throwback-pack-2-free.aspx"><img  alt="" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.xbox360fanboy.com/media/2007/08/throwbackpack2example3.jpg" align="top" vspace="4" border="0" /></a></center>Piggybacking the free release of the original <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/08/24/graw-2-throwback-pack-is-teh-free/">Throwback Pack</a>, Ubisoft has just made the <em>Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2</em> <a href="http://www.majornelson.com/archive/2007/08/28/graw-2-throwback-pack-2-free.aspx">Throwback Pack 2</a> a free XBLM download! This second Throwback Pack features an additional seven remade multiplayer maps including Ghost Town, Aral Sea and Rocky Cove among others and features an additional gametype called Co-op Exfiltration.

So, we advise finding your <em>GRAW 2</em> disc, downloading the newly free maps and getting back into some online multiplayer.

Well, look no further than Circuit City and the Sunday newspaper ads. This week, Circuit City is slashing $20 off select games including titles like <em><a href="http://www.circuitcity.com/ccd/productDetail.do?oid=175812&amp;cm_keycode=85">TMNT</a></em> ($29.99), <em><a href="http://www.circuitcity.com/ccd/productDetail.do?oid=173406&amp;cm_keycode=85">GRAW 2</a></em> ($39.99), <em><a href="http://www.circuitcity.com/ccd/productDetail.do?oid=176554&amp;cm_keycode=85">Spider-Man 3</a></em> ($39.99) and<em> <a href="http://www.circuitcity.com/ccd/productDetail.do?oid=162060&amp;cm_keycode=85">Call of Duty 3</a></em> ($39.99). Also, since both the Red and Black Edition Player Packs will be <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/06/30/rainbow-six-vegas-red-and-black-edition-now-free/">free downloads</a>, why not pick up <em><a href="http://www.circuitcity.com/ccd/productDetail.do?oid=163176&amp;cm_keycode=85">Rainbow Six Vegas</a></em> for the low, low price of $39.99 too?

Of course, we already know that <span style="font-style: italic;">GRAW 2</span> is the <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/04/17/graw-2-border-security-mega-64-style/">most realistic game ever</a> produced, but how realistic is it really? Popular Mechanics compares the Cross-Com of <em>GRAW 2</em> with the American Army's <a href="http://www.popularmechanics.com/%20technology/military_law/4215725.html">Land Warrior</a> system. So, how does <em>GRAW 2</em>'s system compare? First of all, both systems allow for the tracking of friendly units. In <em>Ghost Recon</em>, these are indicated by blue diamonds that move in real time. The Land Warrior system has a similar system that uses blue circles on a GPS map. The only difference here is that the tracking is far from real time. In fact, it takes a full minute to register new movement. The article notes that the GPS system is useful for large, conventional battles, but that it proves far less useful for the smaller, faster battles of modern day warfare.<p><a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/04/18/graw2-vs-the-real-world-graw2-wins/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>GRAW2 vs. the real world: GRAW2 wins</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p><p><a href=http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/reviews/4215749.html>Read</a> | <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/04/18/graw2-vs-the-real-world-graw2-wins/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/forward/877341/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/04/18/graw2-vs-the-real-world-graw2-wins/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>ghost recon advance warfighter</category><category>ghost recon advanced warfighter 2</category><category>GhostReconAdvancedWarfighter2</category><category>GhostReconAdvanceWarfighter</category><category>graw</category><category>graw 2</category><category>Graw2</category><category>land warrior</category><category>LandWarrior</category><category>ubisoft</category><dc:creator>Richard Mitchell</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 18 Apr 2007 16:30:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>GRAW 2 border security: MEGA 64 style</title><link>http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/04/17/graw-2-border-security-mega-64-style/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/04/17/graw-2-border-security-mega-64-style/</guid><comments>http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/04/17/graw-2-border-security-mega-64-style/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/category/fan-stuff/" rel="tag">Fan stuff</a>, <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/category/ghost-recon-advanced-warfighter-2/" rel="tag">Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2</a></p><object width="425" height="350">

That really goes without saying (which kind of nullifies the first sentence ... never mind). The latest video from the group is actually an advertisement for <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/tag/graw2"><em>GRAW 2</em></a> but, as usual, it's pretty damned funny. Given the <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/03/23/graw-2-being-pulled-from-mexican-retailers/">reaction</a> from the Mexican government concerning <em>GRAW 2</em>, the video is also surprisingly relevant (in addition to the obvious hilarity). We won't spoil the video, so let's just say that it's worth watching.

The Governor's knee jerk reaction to the game seems to be coming from the city of Juarez's mayor who has openly criticized<em> GRAW 2</em>'s content calling it "<em>a crime against the intellectual capacity of Juarez residents</em>". And if you don't know, <em>GRAW 2</em>'s storyline does deal with Mexican rebels and US forces duking it out on the US / Mexican border ... something the Mexican government obviously doesn't like.

This <em>GRAW 2</em> picture pack is only available to United States and Canadian residents, but so is the 72-Hour Weekend ... so it kind of makes sense. We just downloaded the gamer pictures and found three stylized blue and white characters with the fourth picture stating "GRAW Has A Posse". Now we can finally put a name to the loyal <em>GRAW 2</em> fanboys ... a posse. Jump online this weekend for a chance to win a few prizes and have a whole lot of fun with your posse.

What's interesting about these pieces of headgear is that they are only unlockable if you've previously played other Tom Clancy games on your Xbox 360. To unlock them, <em>GRAW 2</em> will search your hard drive for game saves of either <em>Rainbow Six: Vegas</em> or <em>Splinter Cell: Double Agent</em> and unlock the corresponding headgear. It's kind of an interesting way to unlock goodies, but forces players to either borrow the other games or purchase them. Marketing 101 for the win! So, what do you think about this interesting way of unlocking extra items? Is it innovative or just pure sales and marketing bologna?<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p><p><a href=http://www.videogame-news.com/2007/03/07/graw-2-special-unlocks-for-owners-of-other-clancy-titles/>Read</a> | <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/03/07/game-saves-unlock-headgear-in-graw-2/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/forward/847684/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/03/07/game-saves-unlock-headgear-in-graw-2/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>ghost recon advanced warfighter 2</category><category>GhostReconAdvancedWarfighter2</category><category>graw 2</category><category>Graw2</category><category>rainbow six vegas</category><category>RainbowSixVegas</category><category>splinter cell double agent</category><category>SplinterCellDoubleAgent</category><category>tom clancy</category><category>TomClancy</category><category>ubisoft</category><dc:creator>Dustin Burg</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 07 Mar 2007 15:00:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>$10 off GRAW 2 this week only</title><link>http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/03/05/10-off-graw-2-this-week-only/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/03/05/10-off-graw-2-this-week-only/</guid><comments>http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/03/05/10-off-graw-2-this-week-only/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/category/news/" rel="tag">News</a>, <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/category/deals-and-bargains/" rel="tag">Deals and Bargains</a>, <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/category/ghost-recon-advanced-warfighter-2/" rel="tag">Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2</a></p><a href="http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Tom-Clancy-s-Ghost-Recon-Advanced-Warfighter-2-Xbox-360/sem/rpsm/oid/173406/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do"><img alt="" hspace="4" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.xbox360fanboy.com/media/2007/03/graw2box.jpg" align="right" vspace="4" border="0" /></a>If you've been in search for one of the best <em>GRAW 2</em> deals this week, it looks like <a href="http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Tom-Clancy-s-Ghost-Recon-Advanced-Warfighter-2-Xbox-360/sem/rpsm/oid/173406/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do">Circuit City</a> is the winner. For this week's release of <em>GRAW 2 </em>Circuit City will be discounting the game by $10 and will retail for $49.99. It's not an amazing offer, but it sure beats paying the full $59.99 price tag. And, as an added bonus, if the game isn't in store by 2PM on Wednesday they'll give you a $20 gift card. So, save yourself $10 on the (very similar to <em>GRAW</em>) sequel and hope the UPS guy gets lost in the massive urban sprawl.<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p><p><a href=http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Tom-Clancy-s-Ghost-Recon-Advanced-Warfighter-2-Xbox-360/sem/rpsm/oid/173406/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do>Read</a> | <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/03/05/10-off-graw-2-this-week-only/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/forward/845279/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/03/05/10-off-graw-2-this-week-only/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>deals</category><category>ghost recon advanced warfighter 2</category><category>GhostReconAdvancedWarfighter2</category><category>graw</category><category>graw 2</category><category>Graw2</category><category>ubisoft</category><dc:creator>Dustin Burg</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 05 Mar 2007 16:00:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>UK GRAW 2 preorders getting exclusive weapon [update 1]</title><link>http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/03/05/uk-graw-2-preorders-getting-exclusive-weapon/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/03/05/uk-graw-2-preorders-getting-exclusive-weapon/</guid><comments>http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/03/05/uk-graw-2-preorders-getting-exclusive-weapon/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/category/news/" rel="tag">News</a>, <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/category/xbox-live/" rel="tag">Xbox Live</a>, <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/category/ghost-recon-advanced-warfighter-2/" rel="tag">Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2</a></p><a href="http://www.xboxic.com/news/2517"><img alt="" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.xbox360fanboy.com/media/2007/03/ghostgun2.gif" align="top" vspace="4" border="0" /></a><br />Our UK friends who preordered <em>Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2</em> at their local GAME store will be receiving a special treat. <a href="http://www.xboxic.com/news/2517">Xboxic</a> discovered that <a href="http://www.game.co.uk/ViewProduct.aspx?cat=11303&amp;mid=330194&amp;cm_sp=graw2-_-thegame-_-freebie">preorders</a> will be emailed a code that will allow them to download a new gun called the Famas. Of course this begs the question whether or not it is really fair for certain players to have weapons that others either can't get or would have to pay for. We don't agree with messing up the "balance" of <em>GRAW 2</em>'s multiplayer weapons system (if there is balance) by allowing exclusive weapons and not having a level playing field. What do you think, should developers offer rare or purchasable weapons in FPS or do you think it just isn't fair?<br /><br /><font color="#ff0000">Update 1:</font> Chris <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/03/05/uk-graw-2-preorders-getting-exclusive-weapon/#c3833759">stopped by</a> the forums to set things straight. This free code is for the Famas gun in the single player campaign and not multiplayer. Everyone will have the gun in multiplayer. You can now rest, everything is zen-like in the world.<br /><br />[Thanks, <a href="http://dpcough.wordpress.com">dpcough</a>]<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p><p><a href=http://www.xboxic.com/news/2517>Read</a> | <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/03/05/uk-graw-2-preorders-getting-exclusive-weapon/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/forward/845498/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/03/05/uk-graw-2-preorders-getting-exclusive-weapon/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>downloadable content</category><category>DownloadableContent</category><category>game</category><category>ghost recon advanced warfighter</category><category>GhostReconAdvancedWarfighter</category><category>graw 2</category><category>Graw2</category><category>ubisoft</category><category>xbox live</category><category>XboxLive</category><dc:creator>Dustin Burg</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 05 Mar 2007 11:30:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>GRAW 2 MP Demo Impressions</title><link>http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/03/01/graw-2-mp-demo-impressions/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/03/01/graw-2-mp-demo-impressions/</guid><comments>http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/03/01/graw-2-mp-demo-impressions/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/category/xbox-live/" rel="tag">Xbox Live</a>, <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/category/multiplayer/" rel="tag">Multiplayer</a>, <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/category/ghost-recon-advanced-warfighter-2/" rel="tag">Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2</a></p><img width="425" vspace="4" hspace="0" height="238" border="1" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.xbox360fanboy.com/media/2007/02/graw2boom.jpg" alt="" /><br />After having had a few days to delve deep into the <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/02/26/graw-2-mp-demo-assaults-xbox-live/">demo</a> for <em>GRAW 2</em>'s multiplayer, we don't feel that it has made the same steps forward as the single player has. We're still stuck with no cover system, but we do get the new full screen cross-com by holding down the right bumper. The Co-Op missions are a lot of fun, and the ability to invite friends to games in a demo is really nice, but the user interface is more or less identical to the previous version. Sure, if it ain't broke, don't fix it, but <em>GRAW's</em> UI wasn't exactly perfect. The graphics in multiplayer did however look closer to the caliber of the single player, but their still is a noticeable difference between the two. With the game having <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/02/28/graw-2-is-gold-new-feature-revealed/">gone gold</a> recently, it looks like we won't have long to find out how the retail version is. What did you think of the demo? Does it make you want to buy <em>GRAW 2</em>, or do you pretty much have to because "everyone else" is?<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p><p><a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/03/01/graw-2-mp-demo-impressions/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/forward/841131/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/03/01/graw-2-mp-demo-impressions/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>G R A W 2</category><category>G R A W II</category><category>Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter II</category><category>GhostReconAdvancedWarfighterIi</category><category>GRAW2</category><category>GRAWIi</category><category>Ubisoft</category><dc:creator>David Dreger</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 01 Mar 2007 11:15:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>GRAW 2 is gold, new feature revealed</title><link>http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/02/28/graw-2-is-gold-new-feature-revealed/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/02/28/graw-2-is-gold-new-feature-revealed/</guid><comments>http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/02/28/graw-2-is-gold-new-feature-revealed/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/category/news/" rel="tag">News</a>, <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/category/ghost-recon-advanced-warfighter-2/" rel="tag">Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2</a></p><a href="http://news.teamxbox.com/xbox/12893/GRAW-2-Xbox-360-Gone-Gold-Achievements-Revealed/"><img width="468" vspace="4" hspace="0" height="263" border="1" alt="" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.xbox360fanboy.com/media/2007/01/graw2pic.jpg" /></a><br />Tom Clancy fans eager to get their hands on <em>GRAW 2</em> will be happy to learn that the game has officially gone gold. TeamXbox reports that Ubisoft made the <a href="http://news.teamxbox.com/xbox/12893/GRAW-2-Xbox-360-Gone-Gold-Achievements-Revealed/">announcement</a> today, stating that the game should be available on store shelves by Thursday, March 8th (just in time for our heads to asplode from covering GDC). In celebration of this momentous occasion, Ubisoft also revealed the entire list of achievements for the game. Achievements are more or less evenly spread among campaign, co-op, and adversarial modes. The adversarial achievements all require that at least 5 gamertags be in the session, presumably to prevent boosting. So, the game has gone gold and the achievements have been uncovered, but that's not the best part. No, Ubisoft had one more surprise for us. <em>GRAW 2</em> will feature an in game achievement tracker. The achievement tracker, surprisingly, keeps track of your achievement progress. In other words, if you're wondering how many more sniper kills you have to make to acquire the "100 sniper kills" achievement, all you have to do is pull up the tracker and check. We're going to go on record and say that this feature should be in <em>every </em>game. You listening Microsoft?<br /><br />Now that we've all had a chance to try both <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/01/31/graw-2-demo-assaults-xbox-live/">campaign</a> and <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/02/26/graw-2-mp-demo-assaults-xbox-live/">multiplayer</a> demos, what do you think? Is a <em>GRAW 2</em> purchase inevitable?<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p><p><a href=http://news.teamxbox.com/xbox/12893/GRAW-2-Xbox-360-Gone-Gold-Achievements-Revealed/>Read</a> | <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/02/28/graw-2-is-gold-new-feature-revealed/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/forward/842940/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/02/28/graw-2-is-gold-new-feature-revealed/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>ghost recon advanced warfighter</category><category>ghost recon advanced warfighter 2</category><category>GhostReconAdvancedWarfighter</category><category>GhostReconAdvancedWarfighter2</category><category>graw</category><category>graw 2</category><category>Graw2</category><category>tom clancy</category><category>TomClancy</category><category>ubisoft</category><dc:creator>Richard Mitchell</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 28 Feb 2007 17:15:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>GRAW 2 MP demo assaults Xbox Live</title><link>http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/02/26/graw-2-mp-demo-assaults-xbox-live/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/02/26/graw-2-mp-demo-assaults-xbox-live/</guid><comments>http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/02/26/graw-2-mp-demo-assaults-xbox-live/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/category/news/" rel="tag">News</a>, <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/category/ghost-recon-advanced-warfighter-2/" rel="tag">Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2</a></p><a href="http://www.majornelson.com/archive/2007/02/26/demo-graw-2-mp-demo.aspx"><img width="425" vspace="4" hspace="0" height="238" border="1" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.xbox360fanboy.com/media/2007/02/graw2boom.jpg" alt="" /></a><br />The <em>GRAW 2</em> multiplayer demo that was <a href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/02/22/graw-2-multi-demo-coming-monday/">promised</a> last week is now <a href="http://www.majornelson.com/archive/2007/02/26/demo-graw-2-mp-demo.aspx">available</a> on Xbox Live Marketplace. Clocking in at around 300 MB, the demo allows up to 16 players on one map called Outpost. It's arguable that this demo is more important than the recently released campaign demo, as players will be spending most of their time in multiplayer. The demo is currently only available to gold members.<br /><br />In a surprise twist, a much larger <em>MLB 2K7</em> demo is available as well.
