There are a couple of Ghost Recon mod updates worth noting. Firstly Urban Conflict Legacy has been updated to v3.1. This mod was scripted by Legacywork mostly using the GRAW 2 modding wiki, and having just completed this new version I can say it's a great success! There are some cool features in this co-op mission, so launch a server and give it a go. Download Urban Conflict Legacy here. For GRAW1 server admins there are three updates by AmEyeBlind to popular GRAW1 custom missions from Ratte making them compatible with dedicated servers. Downloads are as follows...

Ghost Recon 4
Posted by Rocky on Thursday, November 27 2008
Thanks to the eagles eyes of one of our splended forum members we bring you more news of Ghost Recon 4! Straight from play.com, the first news of an expected release date for the next title in the series. (Edit > Linked removed by Play.com!)
Although Ghost Recon 4 is not yet listed in Ubisoft's release date schedule, it's not unusual to see upcoming titles listed in online stores ahead of any official announcement. The quoted release date of September 2009 could possibly lead to a more realistic Christmas 2009 release going by past delays. Join in the Ghost Recon 4 discussion here.

Ubisoft in the Spotlight
Posted by Rocky on Tuesday, October 28 2008
Publication of Ubisoft's financial statement recently has thrown the publisher into the limelight, with various industry commentators finding plenty to compliment the Ghost Recon publisher with. With a £1.5 billion revenue total demonstrating an increase of 43% over last years figures, Ubisoft's results appear to buck the current economy trends.As NG4's breakdown shows, the Nintendo DS accounts for more Ubisoft sales than any other platform, with the big three consoles left fighting for the scraps.

Next Ghost Recon Merging with End War?
Posted by Rocky on Friday, October 17 2008
Australian site Gameplayer.com had an interesting chat with a lead programmer at Ubisoft his week. With Ubisoft buying the Tom Clancy name for its series of games it was clear Ubisoft had big plans for all their Tom Clancy titles - now that vision is a little bit clearer as according to Gameplayer's interview the Ubisoft Tom Clancy universe is to merge, bringing all the titles home to one combined experience.The next Ghost Recon, and also Rainbow Six are included, with End War being the vehicle to make this all happen. Some of the details in the interview may be speculative, but this is definately something to look out for. Read the full Ghost Recon / End War Super Game Merger interview here. Forum discussion here.

Nvidia PhysX GRAW 2
Posted by Rocky on Thursday, August 28 2008
Until recently the only way to enjoy the advanced physics used for explosions and environemntal effects in GRAW 2 was to have a dedicated PhysX card installed on your PC, or used a processor sapping xml hack. Back in February 2008 Nvidia announced they were going to release drivers that would permit 8800 series upwards to enjoy PhysX without the need for a dedicated card. Earlier this month the driver pack was released, as detailed in our forums here. In addition to the extra effects, they also unlocked the Ageia Island map. How the GRAW 2 maps perform with PhysX set to extreme in the options, will vary greatly depending on the power of our graphics card, but to see the extra effects Thales has posted some videos in three posts starting here. For the very latest drivers see this post by Pave Low.
