    This is still my favorite Ghost Recon game.
    It’s as hardcore as classic Rainbow Six, but since I can quicksave, it’s much easier to learn as when I inevitably die, I only have to redo the last few seconds rather than the whole mission.
    Also, there is a mod that lets you show your gun model, but it is a bit finnicky.
    EDIT: Also, small correction: The yellow part of the threat indicator isn’t friendlies, it’s pointing towards where enemies are if they’re not close by. When it turns red, it means enemies are close. It’s simply a way for you to know where enemies are, a gamified way of showing data from satellite imagery, through the wall sensors, motion trackers and the like.

    The OG tactical shooter. This, alongwith Rainbow Six is what defined the Tactical Shooter/TacticalFPS genre. I remember how I was once visiting another city and stumbled upon a small CD/DVD store. I went in and bought a CD that had a compedium of the first 3 GR games in it. At that point I did not know what it was. But playing it was an experience in itself. To this day I absoloutely love it and refuse to believe anything beyond Ghost Recon: Phantoms is a Ghost Recon game.
    Here's a recommendation, try the Ghost Recon: Heroes Unleashed MOD. It's even more hardcore than the vanilla game.

    6:24 The yellow is not friendlies, it is pointing to the bad guys afar. It helped a lot to find the last enemies on a map or to make sure that a section of the map was clear. And the central disk is red when an enemy is close, but it obviously do not indicate the direction.

There were players from all over the world in the group and it was my first time experiencing different cultures and languages. This expansion really strikes close because it was the one my father would spend the most time in. Its incredible the memories some games can hold in them. Thanks Drewski. Fantastic video it brought so much back.

Made me feel like I was reading recounts of the things I did in the game years later.
