<a href="http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/050512/125856.html">Ubisoft announce</a> the arrival of the third installment in their squad-based tactical shooter, <i>Ghost Recon</i>. The announcement is a precursor to unveiling the game at next weeks E3.

Ubisoft said in the press release: [sic]

<i>The year is 2013. The U.S. Army has been developing – and can now deploy – the Integrated Warfighter System (IWS), a complex combination of cutting-edge technologies that transforms an individual soldier into the ultimate fighting force. IWS combines advanced weapons systems, satellite communication devices and enhanced survivability into one fully integrated combat system that is finally ready for the true test of the battlefield. Combining the advantages of next-generation console technology with future military technologies, Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon® 3 includes a wealth of groundbreaking features, including the Cross-Com, a communication device attached to the soldier’s monocle and powered by satellite technology, which will deliver constant and complete battlefield awareness seamlessly within the action. In addition, Ubisoft will employ increased processing power to its fullest, with breathtaking graphics, lighting and textures, multi-windowing, and state-of-the-art physics. Current-generation versions of the game will be custom-built using top technologies that push each platform to its limits</i>

The game is set to come out on DVD for the PC, with Ubisoft hoping to heal some of the wounds caused by the cancellation of <i>Ghost Recon 2</i> for the PC platform.

I take it you meant buy but if you bothered to read the post above in full it does say that the game was never released. I have always been a fan off the tom clancy games but one thing i have always noticed is that UBI always delay any game they release by atleats 3 months. For example they delayed splinter cell to try and sell more ghost recon then they delayed raven sheild to a later date as splinter cell was coming out on the same day. And then to top it all they cancel a game that was origianally for the PC as the console market has a bigger profit margin.

Well to me they have sold out all the PC gamers out there and can stick there games. Plus with the stupid things they put in GR2 on the comsole (camera on gun so can fire round corners) they just making it a big joke. But i think they scrapped GR2 on PC as they knew most people were waiting for battlefield2 and wouldnt but it anyway.
