The WhatsNext verdict
Advanced Warfighter is a standout 2006 tactical shooter for players who want cinematic military combat with real battlefield decision-making and strong co-op teamwork. Expect a harsher, more linear experience than modern Ghost Recon, especially on PC.

The setup
What you are walking into
The year is 2013 and you play as Captain Mitchell, commander of a Ghost Recon team, on a mission in Mexico City where rebels are attempting a coup, putting Mexico and the USA in danger. To deal with the different situations you have to face, taking out AA-guns or defending injured personnel until the rescue team arrives, you do not only have access to top-notch weapons like the different versions of the MR-C, but also to futuristic equipment like a drone that flies over the battlefield to spot enemy units.
