Scheduled to be available via the Xbox LIVE! Marketplace at the end of June, this quality premium content will enrich and extend the original game by allowing players to continue the coop campaign through Nicaragua with four all new missions and extend their Live experience with 12 more playable maps.

# Continuation of Co-op Campaign with 4 All New Missions in Chapter 2:

* 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.

# 8 Revisited, Relit MP Adversarial Maps: 8 of GRAW's favorite MP maps are revisited and relit for a new gameplay experience.

* Fishing Village (Dusk)
* Wharf (Late day)
* Old Town (Morning)
* Nowhere (Evening)
* Coffee Plantation (Evening)
* Shipping Port (Sunset)
* River Depot (Day)
* Jungle Mines (Evening)

also: 5 new guns, and a few more skins. No other patch details or price mentioned.
 
So really it's just four new maps, and eight existing ones at a different time of day. Regardless, looks like a great pack.
 
Can't believe they're pushing relit maps back out but I would've been happy with more co-op missions and 4 new maps. So I'm psyched.
 
Meh @ relit maps.
:rock @ new co-op stuff!

Hopefully the new guns and skins are good.

Sounds good. Was hoping to get some winter style maps though. Maybe next batch?
Same here... even if it doesn't exist in the at all in the game. :lol :(
 
Relit maps in general are lame, but the new Fishing Village looks HOT:

If any map need relighting though, it was Dry Dock... ugh

I just like looking at the snow.. :(

Bonfire day and night were really nice looking maps for GR2.
 
The question is, will it be free now, since we've waited so long...

I like the new spin on old maps, as long as we get the option to choose the old or new versions - then it will seem worthwhile...

this quality premium content

I'm thinking it's going to cost something
 
Hugely depending on price/freeness of it, I don't mind relit aps at all. The maps are so solid as is that it doesn't matter, and relighting them totally adds a new dimension to it.

This pack sounds awesome. All around greatness. Skins, weapons, maps, co-op? Who the **** can possibly complain man. Cannot wait, and hopefully it gives all out GAF GRAW nights a comeback.

Waited so long? You mean since the game came out in March? Uh...no. Not free.

As for winter maps, they'd be nice, but it doesn't snow much in Mexico/Nicargua.

The map pack looks nice to me. More co-op is a great thing!
 
I started playing this game again the other night after initially beating it and god it's just so fun. The night missions aren't as fun to me personally. But such a great game all around.

As you said, unless they charge for the relit maps...

I'll gladly pay for co-op and the other stuff, but relit maps... uhh..
 
I hate GRAW deathmatch, so the relit maps don't disappoint me. I'll get some use out of them by playing co-op territory and the like, I suppose. But I'll gladly pay $5 for 4 new co-op campaign maps. The descriptions sound great. Bring. It. On.
 
well ghost recon 2 dlc stuff was free i think. but now that we've enter into the HD ERA, i doubt it too

Good call, I didn't notice that...

You're right, I meant to say waiting for that E3 announcement that they were going to make about this...
 
Didn't someone say, right before E3, that this update would have a true single-player co-op campaign? I'm not a fan of the current co-op mode in GRAW, with its weird lack of single-player control options.
 
I tried some online graw again a few days ago but could not get a nice game going at all due to connection problems mainly. made me realise how much I miss GAF GRAW nights. cant wait for this to hit.
 
I played some of these maps at E3, and let me tell you, the Jungle Mines map will go down at the best GRAW map for online MP. There's a compound in the middle of the map that will make for an intense game of siege/hamburger hill.
 
Damn, I just wanted the new co-op missions to play online with my bro but I guess i'll have to splurge and pay full price for content I don't really use. Oh well, the co-op is worth it, just can't get into the team deathmatch side of multiplayer.
 
Bebpo said:
How is the co-op campaign compared to the single player one btw? Is there a story and stuff?

It's light on story but, thanks to your fellow GAFfers, VERY heavy on character. Seriously, playing co-op campaign with these guys was the absolute funnest.
 
I hope these new maps aren't designed for massive spawn rapage. I don't play the game anymore it's so bad. There needs to be some kind of spawn modification with the new DL. Shit is just getting out of hand.

What does this mean? You *are* paying for the new coop missions. New light on old maps and a few new guns are incredibly trivial to make. I'd bet this all gets included in one pack, but the only part that really took time to develop, and therefore the part that they're really charging for, is the new coop campaign (and obviously maps that are required for that). Just consider the rest free stuff tossed in with the 4 new coop missions.
 
Awesome pics, blim, and holy crap that video was badass...

The co-op stuff looks pretty huge, and dare I say killer, and the relit maps actually do look pretty ****ing badass...

Add to that a silenced sniper rifle for moi, and I'm a happy camper.

No word on price, though. =[
 
They should fix the connection issues first. This game can be a royal pain in the ass if you don't find the right host.
 
they shouldve done drydocks in the day with clearskys :lol that wouldve been funny as hell because of how dependant the map is on the elements and time of day
