"GRAW 2 Legacy Edition
Posted by Rocky on Tuesday, February 19 2008
Ubisoft will be releasing GRAW 2 Legacy Edition for the X360 on the 20th of March 2008. Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 Legacy Edition will include the full original GRAW2 as well as all the downloadable packs previously available on Xbox LIVE, that's a total of over 60 maps."

Im trying to figure what 60 maps, my count, even with the differnt lighting of graw2 maps i come up with a total of 49. What am i missing? Where do they get 60 from?

GRAW 2 shipped maps = 18
GRAW2 shipped Relit Maps = 8 ( cant remember if this is right )
Throwback Map Pack 1 = 7
Throwback Map PAck 2 = 7
Co-op collection 1 = 9

Thats 49 maps.

Maybe we will see 11 new maps in a Co-op collection 2. Or maybe we will see all the GRAW 1 maps ported over.

Thats what i came up with is 49 maps. So can anyone tell us what the 11 other maps are? im sure the admins in here could tell us right? since its being released by ubisoft!

GRAW 1 shipped maps = 10
GRAW 1 Chapter 2 maps = 4
GRAW 1 Chapter 2 relit maps = 8
-------------------------------
GRAW 1 maps in GRAW 2 = 7

So that leaves 15 maps from GRAW 1 that could be ported over if you include the relit maps, 7 maps from GRAW 1 if you don't count relit maps.

If you count the relit maps it doesn't exactly add up to 60, but the description says over 60, so maybe that is what it is after all. Guess we'll have to wait for an official announcement, which will probably be the same day as release.

Maybe it's in octal.

add in the 1250 achievement points and the 16 co-op missions and looks like we will be getting another GRAW 2 DLC.

Nice.. Given that there are 11 co-op missions now, that would imply a second 5-mission pack coming out in March. It's kind of strange that they'd release it the same week as R6 Vegas 2 - maybe they want to squeeze it in before the end of their Q4.

Why not announce it though? It's only a few weeks away.

We will probably see a announcment within a week or 2.

They probably don't want a repeat of the Coop Collection 1 "incident" when they prematurely announced a release date.

do u think this will be available for the ps3?

They've already said that the last map pack will not be coming to PS3, so I don't see how it could be.

i'm bummed. the ps3 is all i got. my pc won't run graw2. dang it!...

I wonder why they released the achievements for the "legacy pack" already? Is it to wet our appetite.

a level 5 user on the xbox forums posted the achievements

If this is true then it looks like we are getting massive maps again. Riverbed, Ghost Town and Bridges are huge and open. I hope they are using Stronghold from OGR ( the woody rural map ) and not the GRIT map. Depot could be new or maybe its either Fuel Depot or Train Depot. I wonder what other maps are including. Fingers crossed for Tank, Lost Convoy and Training.

Just a FYI I'm looking into this. I'll let you all know when I've got some information for you

Its a real shame that these maps weren't released sooner. They show a great willingness on behalf of the developers to give us back the old Ghost Recon feeling. Some more great open maps to go with the corkers we already have.

Riverbed and Bridges are huge. In fact i cant see Bridges coming to us in its original form. Maybe the biggest GR map ever. Its make a mockery of the siege system. For future games tweak the gametypes to utilise the entire area of the map.

Both Riverbed and Bridges will be very very welcome in my book

Its very evident that we are seeing a greater emphasis on bigger and more open maps; which is a great thing. If GRAW 2 had of shipped with maps of the quality of Riverbed, Bridges, Mountain Falls, Caves and Battlefield then we wouldn't have seen such a drastic decline in the community.

Lets hope the next Ghost Recon ships with maps of this quality.
