Good attempt at
Back in the day when GR was new I was already a Rogue Spear fan. that game alone solidified my interest in realistic squad based shooters. I always wanted to play a more special forces/covert ops shooter and there came out Tom Clancy`s Ghost Recon. Compared to Rainbow six, It featured: larger areas, long range combat, ability to go prone, minor RPG elements, grenade and rocket launchers and destroyable enemy vehicles. You could also unlock some pretty interesting characters like the russian female sniper with SVD or a british demolitions guy with L85A1 who looked exactly like the sapper from Commandos series :). Unfortunately you can`t pick your own guns, uniforms and equipment like in Rainbow six. Every character has a few loadout options and that`s it. The squad command system is a bit wonky and could have used more control. Whenever I wanted to go in as 2 teams, the other one usually died. The game is also rather easy and doesn`t force You to use multi squad tactics. I`ve managed to beat the entire campaign on elite difficulty with just one full team in every mission. I just didn`t want guys in the other team dead and the game didn`t give me IMO sufficient squad control tools. I know that hardcore GR fans won`t agree on this, but I liked the AI and squad system from GRAW on PC much better. I`m giving it 4 stars because of the lack of freedom with choosing equipment and the squad control system.
Is this helpful to you?
