Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon®

Very good game!

It's like a hunting simulator, but with Russians instead of Deer.

the best ghost recon game ever. the ai have simple yet impactul controlls and for cqb or overwatch positions you can seamlessly transition between operators to give each mission a more human touch which is wayyy better than over complex ai whith dozens of useless functions

I am aware that this game is old. It has so many glitches that it is unplayable, Should be removed from the sale list.

One of the best games ever made.

Perfect game, 10/10

Tis a hard game. But only true ghosts may master.

Simple but great

With the cd game I could play this game on easy settings. With the steam version on easy settings I can't complete the first campaign.

Great game. Controlling teams feels seamless. Good solo or co-op.

I live with them.
I fight with them.
I die with them.

Played for the 1st time 20 years ago and my love for this game didn't change. Go silent and detect the enemies and assault them with three full teams, they never seen us coming and that's why we are the ghosts.

Tips: Don't rush the enemies or you will suffers losses, the best combat points to upgrade your soldiers are weapon ability so you don't miss a shot and your aim is more stable and endurance so you can take much more hits before dying. Stealth seems to make you invisible to certain distance. And leadership seems to make a ghost a better leader and better at taking decisions on how to approach enemy teams.

Use the ghosts that have more points obviously and use heartbeat sensors to detect enemies on the map but always leave one with a grenade launcher and blast inside the houses but always open the door with other teammate from the other team example: Teammate from team B opens the door and you from the team A blast the inside of the house to kill enemies inside or just shoot them instead but be careful and if possible shoot them in area exposed like an arm and they die with one shot or two but ofc like any shooter just shoot the head and it's an instant death like how it should be in any shooter.

The best specialist to use early one is Will Jacobs because he can zoom much further than non specialists so he makes all the missions very easy to shoot enemies from far away. Lindy Cohen is the same but i suggest keep using him and Lindy Cohen together in the same team. If you see enemies running to your position make your teams aware by holding their positions also to make a full attack, always make sure you use other team to cover all the angles available.

Most important tip: Don't forget to save and restart using save from the main menu because the game doesn't use the last save, always save before losing a ghost in the first mission and all of them so you don't lose ghosts specially specialists because once they are dead they are gone forever.

This game and many others need to be remastered so newer generations can enjoy them.

A blast from the past

Pro's:
-Hardcore tactical shooter. (Depends of the person if they enjoy the genre or not.)
-Awesome squad mechanics.
-Graphics are still decent.
-Fun missions.
Honorable mention: Reminds me of Delta Force.
Cons:
-Janky.
-The game does not work unless you screw around with the game files.
-Friendly AI can be either the best soldiers anyone has ever seen or the dumbest.
-Pretty slow. (Depends from person to person.)
-Just like in ARMA games the enemy has aimbot.
-You can't see your own weapon.
Overall: A great game if you are into tactical shooters similar to ARMA and Delta force with mechanics unique for their time (2001) and as a enjoyer of this type of games I give it a 8/10.

i cant even reload my weapon and all the control mapping so weird

This game is punishing players who made wrong tactics and choices. If your ghost (or soldier) dead in combat, you'll get replacement with fresh default stats. Even though this game is short alongside 2 additional expansion, I truly enjoyed and got good old nostalgia from my childhood. I recommend player to download additional mod called "Heroes Unleashed" and enjoying more ruthless missions and various weapon choice.

old game, fun

Great game. Aged well.
Yes ai/bots were terrible back then still are after the new patches but I still personally like the game.
Ai, is inconsistent, doesn't listen well, makes weird formations, doesn't follow orders well and the enemies have a insane aimbot but I still like it. It's challenging for once. COD on hardest difficulty is not easy but a lot easier then playing this game on the hardest difficulty. Here you can actually make strategies, have to think from the top of your head, assemble a team like in jagged union brigade e5 & high caliber but you're playing 1st person.

I think it's cool but I am sure opinions differ and somewhere will read this and say "wtf are you talking about?"
Modding community is surprisingly active on moddb. I haven't tried them though, I like the vanilla and can live with the bugs, they are not all too major. DLC's are also good, just confusing as you need the base game installed because they ported this from a dvd/cd age.

Based department

this games sucks balls so bad i know its a classic but its so boring and the enemies have aimbot and 1shot u, super retarded game i DO NOT recommend

used to be a phenomenal game but it's aged incredibly poorly so I can't recommend buying it in 2025

When I got my first PC in early 2000s, I had no games to play in it. At that time, my dad brought 2 CDs -Ghost recon & Burn Out, from the son of one of his colleagues. In the first mission itself idk where I was being shot at from & dying..took me multiple hours to figure it out :D
Reliving the memory in 2025. Crazy!

you have to think....

Honestly one of my top favorite "classic" games, I remember when I was a kid the graphics felt so real, now they feel so nostalgic, I'd recommend this game to anyone who's into commanding squads and enjoying a fire fight. You will lose troops due to sneaky combatants but you will learn not to rush through levels and take your time and strategies. Good luck and have fun 10/10 game.

Absolutely love this classic.

Remember playing this as a kid and I could not pass the first level. Tried it now and I still can not ;^(

Got the game in a bundle, but the game didn't work, not even after a week of back and forth with the developer to see where the issue was. I wanted to return the game (I played less than 2 hours, 5 minutes at most and all of it was spent on attempting to open the game, which my pc turned off imminently after starting) but Steam didn't allow it to do so because I played more than 2 hours in one of the other games in the bundle and I can't refund one game when you buy in bulk, you refund the whole bundle *sight*
Anyway, managed to make it play on an old Laptop, other than the quality since it's an old game, it's doable, wouldn't buy it if you aren't a die-hard Ghost Recon fan.

not working

The original Ghost Recon is an amazing and hardcore tactical experience that differs greatly from its more modern sequels.

You start each mission on the loadout screen where you can choose the ghosts you want to send out, each of whom have certain skills and equipment that others don't. You have to plan carefully depending on the mission description. If you choose the wrong loadout, you could be in for a world of pain and sometimes it's even close to impossible to finish certain missions if you're not careful. Enemies mostly die after taking one bullet to the chest, but so do you, so be very careful. From a technical standpoint, it's astonishing that this game doesn't need any mods or community patches. It runs at high resolutions and 60+ fps without any issue out of the box and that should be commended.

The only thing I didn't like is that sometimes the AI pathfinding is awful and your teammates get stuck on walls or doorways. You can switch to them and move them around, so it's not gamebreaking, but it's definitely annoying.

Even though it's 24 years old, Ghost Recon is truly a timeless masterpiece. 10/10

this is a free roam game. you can follow the intended path, or choose your own. old graphics,old engines, still a good first person shooter.

.

Well developed storyline.
Relatively old fashioned but still tense and challenging.

I have played this game alot more hours than steam says. I played it alot on boarding school with one of my current friends - so many good memories with this game. Of playing in co-op and using tactial coordination to complte mission together.

I wish Ubisoft makes a modern remake of this!

Old, clunky, unbalanced
Enemy encounters are as brutal as Sniper class is OP.
Engage in fair combat - you will take losses. Take a sniper and solo wipe out the whole map - you win. Have a mission where you have to rely on other troop members to defend certain position, when the enemy count is too high - well, on max difficulty they will just die regardless of what you do. You have to defend that stupid position, so you leave troops there, and you can't solo the enemy army properly in time, so they die, you lose.

its old school gamin, loved playing co-op with the family

When the name Clancy meant something instead of being the usual Ubisoft slop with his name slapped on it. The best Ghost Recon and it isn't even close.

Old, classic strategic game that still makes a person think, plan, and allows for having a great time with friends.

Just like Rainbow Six, it's globalist neocon propaganda, but you can't see your gun.

i love ghost recon

by far the best tactical experience in a ghost recon game ever imo

Amazing game, especially for it's time. For 2001, the graphics hold up well and the game runs perfectly fine on Windows 11 (Atleast in my case), works on 1920x1080 monitor like a charm, except the main menu forces the game into lower resolution which does funky stuff if you have multiple monitor setup.
The missions are amazing and varied, the only thing holding back the game is the AI, which is not the smartest, Friendly AI is quite dumb and will get stuck on rocks and doorframes, so alot of times you have to switch to the team member and do the walking yourself. The enemy AI is also quite dumb, but in the Overpowered way, their aim is better than your friendly ai's and your own aim, their reaction time is insane and they will kill you with one shot the second you go around a corner, but even that doesn't stop the game from being great.
It's unfortunate that we don't get games like this anymore, the old school hardcore tactical shooter genre died and now the closest thing we get to these games are stupid tacticool slops that have no soul.

Its great

Doesn't work on Windows 11. I was really excited to play this on my brand new gaming pc. I had only played both PS2 and original Xbox versions. I was so disappointed when I realized the game doesn't work on anything other than the base low resolution. If I tried to change the resolution to anything higher, it would go windowed mode, then crash.

👍

despite being very old, it is a realistic war simutator

Croatian translation: Duševna izvidnica Tome Klančevića

hm fun

A nice tactical shooter with 15 varied, interesting levels. Controlling three squads at once is intuitive and cool.

The friendly AI is dumb as rocks, and the enemy AI is inconsistently, unfairly accurate, and it almost ruins the game. Quick saving and loading helps a lot.
