Advanced Warfighter Downloadable content revealed

Ubisoft has released full details of its upcoming premium downloadable content package, which is scheduled for release at the end of June.

The update, which will be delivered over Xbox Live for the Xbox 360, includes a plethora of new content. The bulk of the update is chapter two of the co-op campaign, featuring four new missions: Coffee Plantation (Day), Shipping Port (Evening), River Depot (Dawn), and Jungle Mine (Day).

Coffee Plantation (Day): This takes place on a coffee plantation embedded deep in Nicaragua. The map is littered with good cover options that appear in the form of a centrally located plantation house, coffee processing equipment, growing coffee plants, and stacked bags of coffee beans ready for transport. The Ghosts' overall goal of this mission is to eliminate the arms dealer and shut down his operations.

Shipping Port (Evening): The next mission takes place at a shipping port and the Ghosts' objective is to stop the enemy from smuggling weapons into the country. The player will interact with rebel troops through warehouses, decks of ships, and on massive shipping cranes. This night mission provides an eerie backdrop for Ghosts to move in take out the weapon shipments and ensure that the illegal smuggling of arms will stop.

River Depot (Dawn): This map puts the Ghosts in a jungle area that the Rebel forces have infiltrated and are using for storing and shipping out illegal weapons. The goal of the Ghosts is to secure the warehouse facility that holds crucial information concerning the placement and shipment of weapons. As the player weaves through the jungle and eliminates the patrols of enemies, they must also destroy all the weapon shipments and keep the Rebels from extracting from the area. Massive trees, loads of weapon shipments, and enemy transports are unique characteristics of this mission.

Jungle Mine (Day): The last mission in this co-op campaign chapter takes place in a mine that is vital to the Rebel force's regime and the Ghosts are tasked with securing the area, destroying the weapons, and eliminating the Rebel leader. The central location on this map is the mine itself and it provides a place for multi-tiered gameplay surrounded by good cover. This mission provides a new gameplay experience for Ghost Recon fans and it will surely be one of the more memorable missions in GR history.

In addition to the new co-op missions, eight of the game's favourite multiplayer maps have been revisited and relit, providing gamers with a new experience. The maps are Fishing Village (Dusk), Wharf (Late day), Old Town (Morning), Nowhere (Evening), Coffee Plantation (Evening), Shipping Port (Sunset), River Depot (Day), and Jungle Mines (Evening). Together with these maps are two new game types: Team Blind Siege and Team Battle.

The update also contains two new camouflage patterns, four new character customisation faces (each with new camo), and five new weapons: SR-25 SD (Marksman), M468 (Rifleman), M468/M320 (Grenadier), AK-47 LMG (Gunner), and SCAR-H SV (Rifleman).

More details on the new co-op missions will be released shortly.
