massively multiplayer

If you like combat games, but don't mind being patient and planning the strategy, then you will LOVE Ghost Recon. And Xbox Live makes it much better.

If you like non-stop, frontal assault games (Halo), then you will probably find Ghost Recon frustrating or boring.

In this game, you have to use planning and stealth.

Planning means that you have to decide how to navigate 2 teams of 3 soldiers through an area to minimize casualties, eliminate enemies and protect your teammates. Halo is a great game - but you'll never experience this element of strategy in it.

Stealth means you have to be prepared to go slowly and patiently. If you move as fast as you can towards a goal, you're bound to get shot by an enemy hiding behind a tree. In some cases, you have to crawl into position. In others, you have to continuously scan an area to find a camouflaged enemy soldier.

There is plenty of challenge and variety in this game. And, once you go live, the team play and strategy take on a whole new dimension.

This is a great game. It has its flaws, but what game doesn't? I mean even Halo has its problems. The invisible barriers are annoying, and no jumping, but really doesn't hurt the overall experience too much. Night vision is a little weird but after getting used to it you won't mind it. Not picking up dead guys weapons is not a real problem (not being able to is realistic if you think about it, Bond can carry 13 guns but not real people) and don't have you demo guy die if you need to blow a bridge. That's about it for bad stuff. I haven't played online yet but I've heard good and bad things but I can't comment. It is very realistic. It isn't just point and shoot. You actually have to take time to aim. Slow paced but very fun and has its action filled moments. It gives you a real feeling of what war is. Graphics are outstanding. Play is good. I've heard complaints about the movement, but I play some paintball and I can tell you its hard to move with all that [stuff] on your back. Also, nice that there are real world connections, such as Russia and real guns. Its a real treat to blow the [stuff]out of a tank with a rocket. Oh, ya the bodies don't disappear and neither do dead tanks, adding to realism (but also making this game not for kiddies). Sound is excellent. Gun shots sound very realistic, the background noise is good too (I mean footsteps, birds, planes, tank shots, etc.) Turning up the brightness/ contrast on your TV will help with any vision problems you have, even though the way things look in the game are how they really look. Buy this game its worth the money!
