Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter (GRAW) is a 2006 tactical shooter video game developed and published by Ubisoft.

The game places emphasis on using cover effectively in order to stay alive, together with sound strategic co-ordination to successfully complete mission objectives.

Gameplay emphasis in Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter is placed upon the player doing the bulk of the fighting in each mission, while relying on tactical combat rather than arcade run-and-gun shooting to overcome enemies.

GRAW features numerous firearms, many based on real weapons, including the Heckler & Koch G36, the Beretta M9, and the FN SCAR, in addition to prototypes such as the MR-C.

The game also makes use of various other pieces of equipment, including tanks, helicopters, armored personnel carriers, and remote-controlled unmanned aerial vehicles, which can be used tactically to overcome obstacles, and scout out the environment, in order to complete objectives.

One unique feature of the gameplay is the cross-com system, which is designed to allow indirect control over friendly units, assisting them on a mission (e.g. helicopters, UAV drones, etc.

The cross-com system in this version is more flexible, capable of issuing more controlled commands to individual squad members, as well as plotting out attack routes and battle plans for other friendly units.

In the UK, a special Game of the Year edition was released in late 2006 containing a card enabling the player to obtain all marketplace content for free, including the Chapter 2 download.

At the same time, a Ghost team, led by Captain Scott Mitchell, is sent into the city to intercept a deal taking place and recover Guardrail IX, a device capable of disrupting wireless communications, which had been taken from a spy plane that was shot down in Nicaragua.

However, complications arise when a coup d'état takes place in Mexico City, forcing Ghost commander General Joshua Keating to abort the mission so that Mitchell's team can locate and extract both Ballantine and Ruiz-Peña, who both went into hiding shortly after Mexican rebels attacked the summit, killing the Canadian prime minister in the process.

Although they rescue the U.S. president, Keating orders Mitchell and the Ghosts to recover the "Football", after the rebels steal it, but are thwarted by Guardrail IX, which Lieutenant Barnes reveals is being used to monitor and disrupt communications between U.S. forces.

Mitchell quickly manages to find and destroy much of the device, before assisting allied forces pushing into Zocalo Plaza, and rescuing Major General Martin when his Black Hawk is downed.

Mitchell is then ordered to assist in the final push on Palacio Nacional, destroying the last elements of Guardrail IX, and eventually helping to capture General Ontiveros before he can flee, but is unable to find the "Football" with him.

Mitchell quickly learns that Carlos has the "Football", after he manages to escape and hijacks team pilot Bud Aldridge's Black Hawk, killing him in the process.

In May 2005, the Xbox 360 edition of Advanced Warfighter was shown to the press in trailer form at the E3 (Electronic Entertainment Expo) convention in Los Angeles.
