Ghost Recon 2 Xbox DLC on Monday

That's "downloadable content" of course. Meantime, there's a patch ("auto-upgrade") today, details of which we have inside.

Ubisoft is planning to release new downloadable content for the Xbox version of Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon 2 next Monday, 7th March. The update will consist of three maps, two new game modes, eight new weapons and two new skins, which sounds like quite a bundle to us.

That news is buried somewhat though at the bottom of a brief missive pointing out that Ubi has released an "auto-upgrade" for the Xbox title. So, a patch, then. The auto-upgrade "accomplishes the following":

  • Add User Interface element to indicate which players are entering and leaving lobby
  • Add User Interface element to indicate which player(s) are talking
  • Improve network stability
  • Fix a respawn issue where respawned players could get killed immediately
  • Reduce the amount of time needed to validate downloadable content
  • Address Minor sound issue with sound effects and voice over
  • Localize an error message
  • The Friend's List is easier to scroll through and use

Good news for Ghost Recon 2 fans, then. You'll be patched as soon as you go online, and we'll let you know more about the downloadable content next week.
