Issues with Xbox 360 Version

The Xbox 360 version of Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 appears to be defective.[1] Many users on the official Ubisoft forums have complained that the game constantly freezes, while noting that they have no such issues with any other Xbox 360 games.[2] Ubisoft have not acknowledged or commented on the issue, much to the frustration of their customers.

Trivia
