Wait killing anybody else? | Forums

I'm not dying from the wait, in the past couple days I read Bravo Two Zero and I'm about to start reading Red Storm Rising to occupy my time for the next day or so.

Reading bravo two zero really made me wish I hadn't sold dragon rising around the time of bf3 release, I miss the special operations missions... patrolling under cover of night and whatnot.

and I'm about to start reading Red Storm Rising to occupy my time for the next day or so.

I read that book recently. I didn't enjoy it as much as other Tom Clancy titles, but I can't deny it was a good read.
Guess I preferred books with a more infantry-based focus. Red Storm Rising has more of a global focus.

Which of his had a more infantry focus outside of Rainbow 6?

From what I've heard he doesn't have a lot of real infantry focused books. They are CIA task forces and things like that. ( I wanted to see if andy mcnab had some good fiction I could get into with his fiction novel series... but his use of language is just annoying and confusing. I loved bravo two zero, but I have a hard time understanding british/scottish slang as it is... and his is 2 decade old slang or actually 2 decade old military slang for vehicles and equipment I've never heard of because my country doesn't use it, doesn't use it anymore, or our troops called it something different.

If any US military buffs want to understand what people are talking about when they complain about games like dragon rising being hard to understand with it's military lingo.... read the first half of bravo two zero by andy mcnab. For the first chapter I had my hand holding my place in the f***ing glossary for british terms/slang at the end of the book and only about a third of it was there, everything else you had to just kinda figure out.

Well I use infantry in the broadest of meanings, basically firefights and the like.
I've read Against All Enemies and Without Remorse, which are more focused on individual characters than Red Storm Rising.
