The four multiplayer maps are:
  • Embassy: Set in the Georgian city of Tibilisi, players can test their mettle engaging in intense close quarters combat in this urban environment. Team Ghost takes the action to the streets, parks, rooftops and underground parking garages of Tibilisi.
  • Battlefield: Set in a small abandoned village that still bears evidence of a destructive battle, the Ghosts pass the remains of military vehicles, squinting through thick smoke so they can make out the horizon ahead. Limited visibility and echoing sounds of combat across the terrain increases the tension, as teams battle to gain control of the ruined village.
  • Castle: Under a full moon, Castle's setting in an ancient medieval fortress provides tactical options for players as they fight across the forest, and the village around the castle with night vision as a necessary tool.
  • Wilderness: For team combat play, pine forests, rolling hills and plywood kill houses throughout the Wilderness map is a perfect and exciting combat killing field.

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Island Thunder promises more heated battlefield action for the Ghosts. This first-ever campaign disk for the Xbox video game system from Microsoft will not require players to have a retail copy of the original game to enjoy a new Ghost campaign.. Both new recruits and seasoned vets who earned their stripes playing the original Xbox game will enjoy the camaraderie of the shared battlefield.
