Alright from what I have read many of you writers are very experienced virtual wargame/first person shooter players. So I am asking for a knowledge if anyone has it about the first Ghost Recon Game. I started playing it about 3 and a half years ago. Well for some reason this year I have picked up on it again. Except this time I am going through all 3 levels; recruit, veteran and elite. Plus do all the quick mission levels; mission, firefight, recon and then maybe defend. I know what a dumb arse obsession.
1.?? Has anyone ever accomplished all 50 missions? Has anyone really invested the hundreds of man hours to do this?
2. I am a Sgt E-5 headed for E-6 currently. Has anyone made it to the rank of general? What is the tactical advantage if any to each rank progression. From what I am able to ascertain, there isn't any.
3. What are the signifant factors for the different cheats that are built in with the missions? Such as Helium Head?????
4. Some of these missions? Has anyone actually accomplished them?? Such as #50: Level 015 White Razor, Elite difficulty, Mission: Firefight, accomplish mission with ONLY a Sniper! Are they serious? I have acoomplished White Razor with a team of 6 on Elite-Firefight without a casualty. So maybe it is possible.
I have tried this with a Sniper on Elite several times. Within 2 minutes of firing your first shots, maybe drop four of the enemy. Within 2 minutes you are hit from at least 4 directions with withering small arms fire, then if the bullets do not take you out the grenade from a sapper does. Just like in real life.
So any help or experienced advice that may save me the hundreds of hours solving meaningless curiosity that may amount to nothing but time spent would be appreciated.
