I just finished the veteran level of Ghost Recon last night. Great graphics, and pretty good replayability (if thats a word.....LOL)

My only problem with GR is the realism. Going up against trained military, I usually wind up dying like a dog, crawling on the ground, never knowing who the killer was or even where he was.

That game is TOUGH.

"My only problem with GR is the realism. Going up against trained military, I usually wind up dying like a dog, crawling on the ground, never knowing who the killer was or even where he was.

Try the following. In the set up screens, select the modern sniper rifle for your TWO snipers, one for each "team". Select the option that gives you extra ammo, unless its a scenario that requires going through a town or village, if thats the case select the grenades (great for clearing those small buildings and huts).

Next, immediately upon entering the scenario, take a kneeling or prone position for both teams. Then select one of the snipers, and begin to scan the surrounding area. Don't stand til you identify exactly where the target(s) are and you take them out.

Normally, I use the sniper's 85% of the time. End of scenario stats from last night were along the lines of "32 kills" for the sniper, and the remaining few divided between the rest of the "team".

I also normall switch out any "team member" who's accuracy is registered as a "one". When playing campaign, I always give one point to accuracy, then use the remaining point as needed (stealth for the snipers is a big plus, leadership points for the team leaders magnifies all the teams attributes).

btw, make sure you switch initially between both teams to give the "prone" command, else the "other team" will remain standing or kneeling.

Its worked for me.

GR is a great game - especially with all the new mods out there (http://www.ghostrecon.net/) - a great site -

Though it looks like GR2 which is coming out this NOV is going to be a real bust - (somewhat like RVS is to the Rainbow Six ) - the new GR2 seems to be more of a run around and shoot game....much less realism.
