Summary
While we had a tremendous
time playing these superb mods, choosing a winner was extremely
difficult. Each mission either managed to introduce a new
concept, or an engaging set of objectives that impressed
the judging panel. Each of the prize winners have put together
a superb mission and are to be congratulated on their excellent
work.
Even though each mission
shares the same map, these missions prove how it is possible
to produce exciting, enjoyable and varied missions that
can bring new life to existing maps.
The final scores, a selection
of judges comments, and download links are below. We hope
the fans enjoy these great missions, and the winners enjoy
their prizes. Thanks to everyone who took part, and Ubi
Soft for sponsorship, from the team at GhostRecon.net!

This mission from acclaimed Ghost Recon modder
Right Hand involves attacking a restricted access position,
capture and extraction, and demo a train. Without spoiling
the surprise of the special restrictions worked into this
mission by Right Hand, suffice to say this mod incorporates
a new concept, and engaging objectives that come together
to make a complete and enjoyable mission - with the difficulty
pitched just right.
Here's a selection of comments from
the Judges, and how they scored it.
Saint "...this
was one of the first in the competition that I had no problems
with and it was fun to play. Good effort resulted in a great
mission"
Daywanderer "Four good,
solid and clear mission objectives - just the way I like
it. Everything worked without a hitch, no funny scripts
or anything."
Rocky "good mission objectives
that worked well, ... requiring careful attention"
2nd : Border
Ambush by TalkinBeerMug 8.40
Download
Installation : Extract to Ghost Recon
Mods folder.
No submission caused more debate than Border
Ambush, one of two mods submitted from the Network
42 camp. Border Ambush is extremely tough, especially
at the outset. Survive the opening few minutes and prevent
any border crossings and the mission takes on an explosive
turn forcing the Ghosts to react quickly before it is too
late and the objectives are lost. But that's not all, this
mission has more to demand of the Ghosts! A great mission
we enjoyed immensely - perhaps set a little to difficult
however.
Saint "If
you like challenges check out this mission...it is very
cool, but extremely difficult...and I do mean extremely"
Rocky "There were a
few things that made this original, the voice-over dialogs,
the nice use of air support, the border crossing, I liked
it"
Daywanderer "Damn!
That's all I can say. This mission is hard, but it's also
fun. I'm not usually this nice, but damn.. this struck
the perfect balance between length, difficulty, and overall
smoothness."
3nd : Jack
Rabbit by Rose 8.26
Download
Installation : Extract to Ghost Recon
Mods folder.
Rose also hails from Tactical Gaming site
Network
42, they know a good mission over there. Rose went for
shock tactics with the plot - a member of the Ghosts has
gone bad, and the rest of the team are tasked with taking
him out. Who is this rogue Ghost? You'll have to download
Jack Rabbit to find out, but don't worry, you'll meet up
with a Ghost already on Recon in the field who'll assist
with this hazardous task! Some clever scripting touches
made this an enjoyable mission, with replay value.
Saint "Offered
NPC's from the game in a mission. All in all, very original"
Rocky "Well thought
out and nicely implemented"
Daywanderer "... the
randomness factor was new to me ... Several "ambushing"
hostiles at the start, which was a nice touch"

This mission starts off in the thick of it,
running along side heavy armour with backup was pretty atmospheric.
Nice changes to the mission depending on the selected difficulty
level.
Saint "The
idea of trailing the tank and watching it mow down the bad
guys was cool"
Rocky "a good fun mission
that did make the heart rate go up"
Vanholt "This guy hauled
@ss in scripting this sucker, lots of work "
