GRAW 2 to get SIXAXIS support, 14 new maps for PS3 version
Making its rounds on Digg today is word of some new additions to the PS3 version of Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2. The additions are making us rather excited for the video game’s release, but we’re tempering our enthusiasm so we don’t get let down if some of it doesn’t actually come to fruition.
The main draw behind these additions to the PS3 version of GRAW 2 happen to center around the addition of SIXAXIS support and additional multiplayer goodness in the form of new maps and extra co-op modes. We traced the Digg source back to PlayStation Online, and here’s what they said were the key differences for the PS3 version:
SIXAXIS Features
- Controller features used for Mitchell & Cross-com control
- SP : Drive the supports (drone, M.U.LE) with the Six Axis functionality
- SP/MP : Change Mitchell stances with the Six Axis
- SP : change the Rules of Engagement with the Six Axis
- Consistency increased between SP & MP: Scope, Movement, AimingÂ…
- PS3 specifics adaptation of controls: Menus, Shoot buttonÂ…
- 14 additional maps resulting in a total of 32 MP maps!!!
Multiplayer Additional Information
- 32 new adversarial multiplayer maps up to 16 players, an expanded arsenal of multinational weapons, character customization options, new optimizing re-spawn system, new female operatives and hundreds of new game mode options are available.
- 2 new coop modes, “Evasion” and “Exfiltration”, to vary the game experience in multiplayer.
- 6 missions co-op campaign with a fully immersive experience and storyline. Featuring open-ended play that rewards teamwork as you play with up to sixteen players.
As you can see, it’s not exactly the most well-ordered news bit we’ve found on the internet. The additions are definitely sweet and all, but we’re hesitant to make this official until word comes straight from Ubisoft about these features.
For now at least, it seems reasonable to assume that some of this is bound to be part of the future of the PS3 version. We are waiting for Q3 of this year for GRAW 2 to come out for PS3s after all. Hopefully, a future press release will tell us that all of this is real, and not just speculation.
UPDATE: A big “Thank You” goes out to No name in our comments section! He’s pointed out that the original news tidbit posted on PlayStation Online came from Ubisoft’s UK features list. As such, we’ve removed the rumor status of this article, and changed the source link to Ubisoft’s webpage.
