We have a firm date for the release of the Xbox 360 Game - 23 Oct 2007.
It is an excellent product produced by RedStorm games - they make Rainbow Six and other Tom Clancy games.
A recruiting company has taken a lead in using this event as a recruiting opportunity. CPT Jason Brown out in LA has setup a recruiting event with the Virgin Records Mega Store on the launch date.
