- And much more...


While still in beta stage, the mod has matured considerably since its

breathes new life into original Ghost Recon, the classic masterpiece
many consider to be the best tactical shooter ever made.

Thanks Magnum. DL-ing. Classic GR almost always makes a revisit worthwhile.

cool!

Does it add weapon view, or still magical floating crosshairs?
I'm sure there are limitations on what can be done.

this is GR... if you don't know that by now... go play your action games! jk w u.

The biggest failing in the original games was having the damned crosshair. Always hated that. Sign of the times when it came out though. Made me feel like a cyborg with just a HUD. LOL

Health packs? Geez, finding a game now that uses health packs is like finding the Holy Grail! Instead, it's all "stop taking damage for like 10 seconds and magically heal." Yeah, at least patching yourself up with health packs makes some sense...



The Jedi Master

LOL. So true. I don't understand why Ubi won't just make us another clasic type R6/RS/GR hardcore tactical shooter? I want those blueprints and waypoint planning back in the single-player game. I don't understand why they ever turned away from the old Red Storm formula.

Gents, I was thinking of revisiting OGR by re-purchasing it at GOG.com. I haven't made up my mind yet but this mega-mod might well tip the balance if someone can clarify the following:

- It integrates with GR "out of the box", no other mods required (including the 3 addons of blessed memory)?

- I won't be doing multiplayer, so can anyone comment on what the mod brings to the SP experience, i.e. are there standalone campaigns and missions, or just enhancements to the original ones?

Thanks, guys.
