This game is not as good as Rouge Spear Urban Ops. For starters you can't pick between a list of real guns, grenades are ackward, The whole multiplayer chat and interaction between games is basically nonexistant, and the crosshair is an enourmous yellow thing. This game is more like Half-Life or Quake.

Realistic? Ha!

I'm not trying to start an OFP-GR flame war or anything, but I really am totally unimpressed with GR. The AI is awful (you either run into Supermen with lightning-quick reflexes or parapalegic blind gunmen). Friendly AI thinks that standing up in firefights is a good idea. The missions take place in extremly close-quartered areas (you are almost always trapped in a canyon-like environment with very high walls on everyside, and even then you'll get mini-canyons to move in). Your tactical skills are not put to good use, just your reflexes. The missions are uninspired, though professionally written and voice acted.

The only things that Ghost Recon has that Operation Flashpoint doesn't is good soldier models and textures (OFP is notorious for mini-kevlar helmets), realistic combat loads for soldiers and higher terrain detail (a benefit of having such limited terrain in the first place - you can make it look prettier).

Overall, GR is a nice looking game (NOT a simulation) that will satisfy the people who want an arcade shoot 'em up. Look to Operation Flashpoint for a more cerebral, if not quite as glitzy tactical simulation (yes, it is a SIMULATION, not a game).

And, by the way, YES, I served as an infantryman for six years and YES, I did serve in a combat zone.

Not bad

I'm all about strategy in FPS's, I play on a Tribes2 ladder and so far no game, including GR has come close to T2 in balance, gameplay, strategy, graphics and fun. Here's the thing: too much realism isn't necessarily a good thing. A hit to the chest or head from a 7.62mm, .223, .45 - it doesn't matter, you DIE! Maybe FPS should be a little fantasy oriented. I mean, Juggernaut armor CAN resist a fusion mortar hit at close range I've seen it happen :)
Take my adivice, upgrade your system to at least match mine (TBird1.4,GF3,SBLive,Klipsch etc) get some broadband, and play some Tribes2.

Would like to know how good this game is.....

Don't get me wrong it's an sweet game, but the weapons selsction is very poor. You can unlock more weapons, but it would have been better with them already unlocked (the players). Other than that is is almost the same as the other Tom Clancy games.

Easy easy easy

Now I'm not one to complain but, umm shouldn't this game be difficult? I have had this game about two weeks and played about an hour a day three days out of the twoo weeks. Sad thing is, I have finished my missions. I played this game on veteran mode and found only two of the levels challenging. Most were short and simple. This was sadly disappointing especially because this is one of two shooter games I own and the other is on Xbox. Shouldn't I be challenged more because of my inexperiance with the type of games? Apparentaly not. Although the game was fun and the graphics decent. I only give 3 stars for it being highly unchallenging and short.

Lock and load, this one's here to stay!

After reading on how people with over 1.0 ghtz machines were crying about how things moved so slow, I had to drop my quarter into the bucket. I'm running a P3 800, 256 RDRAM, a geforce 2 video card with 32 meg DDR RAM. My settings are in the medium and I've only come across one multiplayer level to where a LOT of enemies coming at us (3 players total) and then it bogged down. Other than that, I haven't had any problems with the game.
I LOVE this game and the multiplayer matches that we have in our computer group is a non-stop rush!!!

Great gameplay and graphics! A nice challange!

This was a great game! I was impressed with the realistic gameplay! I have beaten the game on recruit, and the veteran and elite settings are much harder! Also a very fun multiplayer mode!

Awesome, as real as it gets with out getting hurt.
I would like to see more weapons that SF uses however.
A lot of fun. Great first person shooter game.

RPG'er Converted to Clancy

I have to admit that the only kind of game I have ever really enjoyed for PC is the RPG genre-Bladur's Gate, Morrowind-you know them. The storylines and tepid action of most other games I've played for PC have left me flat.

But then I get a computer with a Ghost Recon demo on it... along with a Dungeon Seige demo. And I have to say--forget Dungeon Seige -- I want to play the Ghost Recon Demo mission over and over again! (Recruit to Elite levels)

All the technical beauties of this game aside, the one thing that gets me into this game fully is how real it seems. It is a A++ on the intensity scale. I have a real, healthy fear of the enemy while playing this game, and a real sense of regret over any lost man. I also appreciate the strategy aspect of this game, how stealth and position gives the advantage.

The only drawback: This game is so good I have to break down now and buy the full version!
