The game's story is connected to ''VideoGame/SplinterCellChaosTheory'', potentially putting both games in a SharedUniverse.
''First Contact'' takes place in 2007 when Ghost commandos are deployed to respond to North Korean provocations after a Silkworm missile is used to attack the USS Clarence E. Walsh (CG-80). Among those included in the operation is Captain Scott Mitchell. They later get deployed after Major-General Paik uses a Taepodong-2 equipped with nuclear warheads on South Korean and NATO countries, breaking off a ceasefire signed by North Korea.
In ''Final Assault'', General Jung Chong-Sun launches a revolt against the Korean Workers' Party after the military budget was allocated to civic projects in response to a famine. In response, the US leads a coalition of nations to stop Jung from using North Korean nuclear warheads from being used in another Korean War.
Ghost Recon 2 is known to be one of the few games in the franchise that does not have a PC port. And it was banned by the South Korean government alongside ''Chaos Theory'' for depicting a potential second Korean War, considering that Korean fictional media does the same thing. Bans on the games were lifted eventually.[[note]]Although Ubisoft did not retail them officially, it's possible to obtain them by importing them from overseas if you are from South Korea.[[/note]]
The game is followed by a sequel, ''GhostRecon2SummitStrike''.
