Plainsman, you're old gang never sees you on ICQ, or SimHQ server - but we still to this day occasionally yell in the midst of Steel Beasts or ArmA, "HEY! These guys are SHOOTING AT ME!!", and raise a toast to you.


LOL! I don't have Steel Beasts or ARMA2. I guess I do have ARMA1 but uninstalled. I've been playing a lot of Ghost Recon lately. I still find people to play with on ubi.com. I'd rather play with you guys, but you're always playing ARMA.
Anyway, single-player is fun too. I'm able to try out all these add-on maps, missions, mods and equipment.

You guys absolutely HAVE TO TRY the friggin' weapons mod with the Star Wars/Star Trek Pulse Rifles and Phaser pistols. The Pulse Rifles are unbelievable. Literally lighting guys up! And there is an add-on mission called Fort Apache that's crazy. You're in this Fort and the enemy is coming at you from outside and they've got tanks!

I liked to give ghost recon a try online, is there a guide for getting it to work with the D link 4100 gaming router. Yes Steel Beasts the original was a fantastic game to play online, had a little of everything to offer. Would still like to play Steel Beast online as well, me and polak and a few others had some great battles and fun, then I moved and was stuck with dial up for awhile, now I am back online with cable.

I still play GR1 single player. I'm not even sure where to find a game online.

My big turn off to online play was the OICW. People gamed, the game out of that crappy weapon. automatic grenade launcher and 9x zoom. Lame.

GR1 is a great game. They just dont make games like that anymore.

Take a swing by GR.net where there's still a very active GR community. I'm sure you'll be able to find some MP games smile

Just FYI... SimHQ is looking into a summer weekly classic event where we get together for co-op play using classics like GR, R6, SWAT... etc etc... more on that later.

I'd say it will be 3 months long, the 3 classics in rotation once a week for about 3 hours give or take.

Nothing overly fancy or complicated, and a simple come when you can.

I agree with you guys. After I read this thread I installed the game again and played the first three mission. Unbelievable, but it's still a great game, even after all the years. I say it has some great immersion to it and for whatever reason, I feel like Ghost Recon is more fun than the two other tactical games I've installed right now, ArmA 2 and OFP:DR.

I just ordered the 6xDVD mod collection from Ghost Recon.net and am really looking forward to it.

I'm pretty sure Nephilim, Striker and Recluse will want to join in, as long as RL doesn't get in the way and we get a heads up. We've had some great times with GR over the years.
