Stockade is an exciting and fun objective-based adversarial gametype, where the situation can be turned around in seconds.

• · When players die they go to a respawn queue - the "Stockade".
• · When a player gets a kill, one dead teammate gets freed from the Stockade.
• · Completing an objective frees all of their teammates from the Stockade.

The overall objective in Stockade is simple: eliminate the entire enemy team before time expires. In the event of a tie, teamwork points are used to determine the winner. Stockade is playable on all 13 multiplayer maps.

Wow they did not include any of the pre-order weapons on this list? You have to be fucking kidding me, so we still can't use the m14 or any of the other weapons that were on the pre order list....sucks!

But those maps look nice, the new mode Stockade where you have to wait in a respawn queue if you die or till someone finishes an objective seems kind of weird , I would have to play it first to see what it feels like.

The should of made that Artice Base Guerilla map a MP map too...seriously this dlc doesn't look like a winner at all. It is going to take a lot for me to buy it.

[Dae Jim]

This DLC offers more content then most DLC and it's cheaper too. I don't know what other stuff you need before you think it's good.
Stockade is actually a very unique and fun to play game mode, it's kinda like Siege but with less down time. Something a lot of you guys and others have been asking.

Seriously I don't know what else you need, new maps, a new game mode, a level cap increase, new weapons ....
And the last couple of days I had ZERO issues with the server.

Dae check this out ok? These new DLCs have no where what DLCs in the past had. Notice what this one had, nine new maps and five co-op campaign missions. On top of that there was a huge download that included over 12 new weapons called the "more guns pack", I will find the article and post that as well. This article says it was only seven new weapons but that was not so.

Before this DLC there was another one and after this one another a well, in total I think there are like 30+ maps for GRAW 2 if I remember correctly.

New GRAW 2 DLC offers new maps, missions, weapons

For those of you still grooving on GRAW 2, grab a buddy and download today's 800 point ($10) "Co-op Collection," a DLC package for Xbox 360 featuring nine new maps (seven inspired from preview Ghost Recon games, two all new) and five co-op campaign missions that pick up where GRAW 2 left off.

If you're too cheap to even consider getting in on the action (feel free to leave your usual diatribe about why additional maps and modes should be on the retail disc in the comments), then Ubisoft has something just for you: a totally freetastic "more guns pack" that locks and loads seven new gats into the single player quick mission mode. Be honest, are you going to drop the points or hold out for a potential future pricedrop that may or may not ever happen? ... Yeah, us too.

I just hope they didn't rush it

Two new DLC packs for Ghost Recon Advance Warfighter 2 now on Xbox Live

4:28 AM on 01.30.2008 | Hamza CTZ Aziz

New content for Ghost Recon Advance Warfighter 2 has just been released onto Xbox Live. The first DLC, called the Co-op Collection, contains five new co-op campaign missions that continues the main storyline of GRAW 2 and will also have nine newish maps. By newish, I mean that two are completely new maps and the other seven maps are remakes of various maps from the history of the GRAW series. The new content also brings in nine new achievements that will add 125 to your Achievements and inflate your Internet ego even more. The Co-op Collection will cost a reasonable 800 MS Points.
The second DLC pack is a free download called the More guns Pack. The pack gives you seven new weapons that are for use in the Single Player Quick Mission mode. Check the video, screenshots and hit the jump for all the intel (see what I did there?!) on the new maps and the plot line.
All this for 800 Points is a bargain. Especially if you compare this to the fact that Halo 3's DLC cost the same and only came with just three new maps. In fact, this makes me a little mad that I spent the $10 for just three maps. In any case, thanks to Niero, I can never play any of the GRAW games now without thinking about bird noises ... GRAW! GRAW! GRAW!

New Co-op Campaign – Story: Rebel leader Manuel Suazo Azcona continues his quest to destabilize the governments of both El Salvador and neighboring Honduras despite the Ghosts’ efforts to disrupt his organization. As the vice begins to tighten on the rebels, more key players begin to fall out and defect. Using the information from the defectors, the Ghosts need to release Azcona’s stranglehold on the country by taking out his supply points and escorting relief trucks into the area. Finally, the Ghosts will need to infiltrate Azcona’s compound and take him out, ending the rebellion once and for all.
Bridges –(Ghost Recon: Island Thunder)
Mission Briefing:We’ve been contacted by an enemy defector with intel on Azcona’s plans. It appears he has since been captured, but not before dumping his laptop in the jungle. Find that laptop, save our turncoat, and extract ASAP – he won’t last long.

Mission Briefing: This one is a bit different, Ghosts: You'll be escorting relief trucks to the refugees along the border. With Azcona’s army falling apart, his men are desperate and have begun raiding aid convoys. Let’s do some good, people, and put a stop to it.

Well, there you have it. I'm not too fond of the GRAW games, but the asking price for this latest offering seems pretty reasonable. What do y'all think?
Oh, and it took me an embarasingly long time to get the goddamn formatting for this post to stop failing, so I hope you're happy.

[CAG CheechDogg]

Huge difference in what is now being "offered" in DLC by Ubisoft. If you guys are are happy with the effort they are putting into this game with the DLC then by all means buy it, but as for me, I will wait till I see that they at least have the server issues fixed before I even spend more money on a game who's developers have no intentions of fixing the current issues.
