Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2 Multiplayer Demo

Tactical shooters usually do not feature endless hordes of monsters and over-sized rocket launchers, because they emphasize on an entirely different set of mechanics. Whether alone or with a team, the gameplay revolves around making calculated moves and exploiting the weaknesses of your enemies, instead of barging in with all weapons blazing.

Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2 is the second entry in the Advanced Warfighter series and it picks up where the previous episode left off, when it comes to gameplay. Just like before, you play as the leader of a four-man team and you must infiltrate various locations from around the world, trying to accomplish certain objectives without causing too much fuss.

This demo presents the multiplayer mode, which focuses on teamwork and co-op mechanics. Thus, you are able to be a part of the same team with your friends and move in unison through the scenarios, as well as applying various military tactics to minimize your losses. Versus modes are available as well, in which you get to confront against human opponents and see who can accumulate the most frags.

In case you are not familiar with the franchise, the commander of the team uses certain commands to position his squad members, which are now even more easy to access and put into practice. Whether you just want one of the soldiers to advance to cover, throw a grenade, or engage in suppressive fire, every command is no more than two clicks away.

The graphics quality has been significantly improved as well, especially when it comes to special effects and textures. The environments look much better now and they are much more open as well, with gorgeous environments featuring mountains, canyons, and many other such beautiful vistas. Moreover, the game is neatly optimized to run well in slower PCs as well, although the effects are mostly observable in multiplayer.

All things considered, Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2 capitalizes on the success of its predecessor and it manages to improve almost every aspect, in some cases considerably. Hence, if you are a fan of tactical shooters and you have friends to share your passions with, then the game at hand should provide you with a healthy dose of tactics.
