Ghost Recon - PC
I just played the single-mission demo of this, and thought it was pretty good. Anyone have any thoughts about the game in whole?
I was a little iffy about it, since I barely meet the specs. Right now I'm running a p3/450 with 384MB and a GeForce 32MB card (Asus V6600). The demo ran fine with everything set to "medium" at 1024x768x16. I'll probably use the demo to see where I can top off, performance-wise.
Anyway, just looking for thoughts about the full game; whether it's worth a pick-up.

I love it! The action is really intense, the interface is easy to use, the graphics are stunning, the sound is top-notch, and the missions are interesting. My only beef is that friendly troops seem a bit dumb. Anyways, if you have any questions about the game I'll be happy to answer them.

Been playing it for the past month. Great game. Especially fun in multiplayer mode with friends.
Once you get all the levels down you can start downloading mods to change things up a bit.

I can't wait for the mission pack; hopefully, it'll include the 3DStudio Max plug-in's as rumored, so that modders can create their own maps.

I plan well. For example, I put my guys where I want them to be so they can pick off resistance coming up behind my lead team, but they never shoot and always get pinned down. In this game if you don't do it yourself, it doesn't get down. The Rainbow 6 games were a lot better in this respect.

I knew you weren't picking on me. This flaw in the game just gets my blood boiling. I was thinking about it though and I remember having some success using a sniper in a defensive position. He wouldn't really 'snipe' people but he would kill them before he got killed. This worked especially well on the bridge demolition mission. My sniper would just chill in those nice hills and pick off the patrols as they came by. That allowed me to do all the other stuff in the mission without worrying too much.
