It's Time To Turn into a Ghost

 

Havana, 2009. Castro is dead, and Cuba is under threat of a drug lord's power. The Ghosts, an elite faction of the U.S. Army Green Berets, are deployed. Take command of an elite squad of military personnel equipped as you battle against opponents in Cuba's lush jungles, tropical islands, and deadly, decaying urban streets. Grab a friend to form a two-player team and get to your local iGames center to battle against competitors from across North America in the Ubisoft-sponsored Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon(tm): Island Thunder(tm) tournaments on Xbox LIVE!

 

iGames has created two qualifier events that lead up to the Finals on October 19th. Each qualifying round will consist of 2 on 2 games, and split into Eastern and Western regions.
