Tom Clancys Ghost Recon

The Year is 2008... And this is still it - THE best tactical shooter on the market today! I started playing Ghost Recon when it had just been released in 2002, and I loved the game from the very beginning. Other shooters have come and gone since then, with better graphics, better physics engine, better this, better that... but none come close to the depth of gameplay Ghost Recon provides. Sure, it has its visual and maybe technical shortcomings in today's gaming world, but GhR compensates you with its unrivaled immersive atmosphere, with an unparalleled sense of realism, and with an amount of replayability never again found in any other shooter game offering. Playing GhR multiplayer Co-Op with some friends against enemy AI - whether in full-scale campaign missions or the simpler Firefight mode - is still a sheer joy, and so it comes as no surprise that you will find GhR online games running on GameRanger pretty much 24/7, even today. To resort to the old cliche: If there was but ONE game I could take with me on a desolate island (that happens to house a powered Mac), this is it - Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon - the only REAL tactical shooter out there, the best of its kind!

PROBLEM FIXED "Theres only one problem with Ghost Recon for me: when i try to shoot at a person or enemy with the targeting riticle it seems to have only certain spots on the screen to point to and if im aiming at a person it will jump to the spot where it targets and it wont go smoothly with all the points on the screen. Example (T=Target and o=Riticle) oTo" - Problem fixed by turning down the sensitivity(i was at ten) and when i turned it down everything went smoothly.Sry for the complaint about that and i take everything back about the aiming problems.

Ghost Recon is a awesome game in GameRanger multiplayer(even though i always get killed :D ). I still think the playability of the game is great.Even the Single Player AI is challenging.Theres only one problem with Ghost Recon for me: when i try to shoot at a person or enemy with the targeting riticle it seems to have only certain spots on the screen to point to and if im aiming at a person it will jump to the spot where it targets and it wont go smoothly with all the points on the screen. Example (T=Target and o=Riticle) oTo This means you can shoot only in the place where the Riticle is and if the target happens to not be in the point where you can fire then you miss your target and usually your dead if that is the target is aiming at you.I have come to a solution to this problem which would be sidestepping until your Reticle gets centered on your target which when sidestepping becomes smooth and you can easily lock onto your target.Overall Ghost Recon is a really good game thats challenging and fun to play.

Okay, I give up, I'm playing the 1.0 version of this game and while it is like the most awesome game ever, how do you get the guys to switch weapons (in example from the rifler to pistol, or from rifle to explosives). Rather frustrating.

I love it all around. Although if you play with a lot of players over a network, it lags badly, but there's nothing we can do about that.

I played the Demo with no Mods for about 15 weeks solid. Thats averaging about 2/3 hours of play a day, so about 45 hours in all. I got bored then as all the AI kept on appearing in the same places. I then discovered a little application and website called GameRanger. www.gameranger.com is a Mac only internet gaming service. GR Demo is so much fun on that! I then acquired a second iMac (for other reasons) and created a LAN, then figured I could play against my mates locally! I have a 450mhz iMac Indigo with 384mb Memory and a 400mhz iMac graphite with 256mb Memory. They both play excellent under OS 9, however the 400mhz Graphite struggles under OS X. Then I discovered the Mods. There are quite alot of mods for GRD. My favourite are sensors and weapon mods. I love this game and am looking to purchase the full version very soon! Good Gaming, Nemo 450mhz iMac Indigo / 384MB / 20GB 400mhz iMac Graphite / 256MB / 13GB 300mhz iBook Lime / 128MB / 3GB

This game is extremely replayable. I played the demo at least 35 times before stopping. This game surprisingly runs fine on my 400 mhz Imac. The AI is extremely intelligent And macy times I found myself saying "How can they be so smart?" you should definitely get this game.

Good game for people who like to play games like Rainbow Six and such.
