EDITOR NOTES
DESCRIPTION
Ghost Recon: Heroes Unleashed is a mod (as in modification) for the squad-based military tactical shooter game "Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon", which was published for PC by Red Storm Entertainment and Ubisoft in 2001, and for Macintosh by Aspyr Media in 2002. (For additional information on Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon visit www.Ubisoft.com and www.Aspyr.com.)

This mod is a tribute to the Ghost Recon community. Its aspiration is to honor the makers and fans of this great game, and to be a token of appreciation for all the people who contributed to the Ghost Recon universe over the years.

Ghost Recon: Heroes Unleashed is the redux of popular content that has been introduced to the game by various other mods in the past, and it strives to incorporate those elements of Ghost Recon's history into a timeless collection, meticulously complemented by novel features.

The mod makes more than 100 maps and missions available in single and multiplayer mode and offers over 200 different weapons to choose from. All additions have been carefully integrated and balanced to provide a homogeneous level of professional audio-visual and technical finish.

Heroes Unleashed is aiming to improve and expand many aspects of the original game to increase its already highly addictive replayability, while remaining true to Ghost Recon's unique character and concept.

It also tries to intensify the realistic feel and immersive qualities of the game, making it more challenging and emphasizing the atypical Ghost Recon game style: Tactical team play rather than the "solo, run and shoot, wanna-live-forever" style found in many other FPS games.

If you are looking for killing sprees and fragfests, move right along, there is nothing to see here. Just as the original, Heroes Unleashed is predominantly about tactics and teamwork, and a good strategy will serve you much better than quick reflexes and an itchy trigger finger.

With the combination of all of its features, Heroes Unleashed seeks to create the optimum Ghost Recon experience for both single player games as well as multiplayer battles, whether Co-Op, Solo or Team based ones. The mod wants to accommodate a full spectrum of players from the casual gamer, over regular clan and guild players, up to league professionals.

I hope that Heroes Unleashed will provide you with many extra hours of fun in playing one of the best computer games ever devised.

Respectfully, ApexMods

      D9  Yes, I agree with all the previous posts. This is a MUST for anyone who plays Ghost Recon. The intensity has been raised thanks to this mod as well as the amount of gameplay.

      Ghost Recon has always been one of my closet favorites among games...old school game you don't want to admit you still play! But I love how it works and looks. AI is a bit dumb at times but the overall game is splendid, for my tastes at least.

      Do yourself a favor and load this mod. You will not be disappointed.

      ANONYMOUS  First of all, many thanks for the very nice feedback! It is very much appreciated and a great encouragement to continue development of the Heroes Unleashed mod. The new version 1.0.0b4 is available as of today. It contains a number of bug fixes and fine-tuning of many features, plus there are new maps, weapons, and a couple of game types for you to enjoy.

      The main download link is for the full install, and there's a small link at the top of the page for the updater, which comes as an installer application that automatically patches your old installation of Heroes Unleashed v1.0.0b3 to the new version 1.0.0b4.

      Have fun with a new version of Heroes Unleashed!

      ANONYMOUS  After a (slightly longer than planned) hiatus I am happy to announce that I finished the next update (v1.0.0b5) for Heroes Unleashed. It's a major one - with tons of balancing and fine tuning, and again there are new maps, weapons, and game types.

      Additionally, I have created another add-on mod, plus an info sheet with a comprehensive listing of all weapons in Heroes Unleashed and their key specs (as usual, those bonus items are "hidden away" in the X-TRAS folder).

      Hope you'll enjoy the next version of Heroes Unleashed!

      Cheers,

      ApexMods
