We've been asked if all the Ghost Recon mods work on the Steam version of Ghost Recon. The answer of course is YES! Steam has become the best option for purchasing Ghost Recon for gamers looking for a tactical shooter challenge, and they want to know if they can play the hundreds of Ghost Recon mods that are available.

To help Steam Ghost Recon gamers get started we've published a QuickStart guide for Ghost Recon mods on Steam, enjoy!

Continuing our Ghost Recon 10th Birthday celebrations we are today delighted to have an interview with Darren Chukitus, Lead Producer on Ghost Recon in 2001.

Long Live Ghost Recon!

Over the years there have been a few realism mods for Ghost Recon, created to satisfy the hardcore thirst for even more realism from what is still one of the most realistic tactical shooters today.

Today thanks to Riley Fletcher we have another, extremely detailed realism mod - The Ghost Recon Realism Enhancer. There's a lot of content in there, including reworked weapon stats, character strengths adjusted, and many individual adjustments to make specific weapons operate more realistically.

Download it now!

Claiming Liberty is a brand new unofficial expansion pack for Ghost Recon from Riley Fletcher. What we like about this particular mod is not just that it's release is timed perfectly for the Ghost Recon 10th year anniversary, but that it is packed full of really great content.

We've had a sneak peak and the new content is superb; new vehicles, new specialists, new kits, new gametypes and 15 brand new missions. The campaign missions we've played are classic Ghost Recon tactical missions, very enjoyable.

Expect to see the public release in around 2 weeks!

It's a great summary article that hits on the main points of why 10 years later there is still no single game that can pull of what Ghost Recon with ease - accessible squad tactical gaming. I'm sure we could easily ramp that report up to twenty reasons instead of ten without even pushing the boat out, but it is a good hit list that developers would do well to mull over now and then if they want to revive this particular gaming niche.

Apex has started the discussion going in our forums, chip in with an aspect of Ghost Recon that YOU would put in a top 20, I'm going to kick it off with one of my own highlights, this way folks...

Harnessing the artificial inteeligence of ArmAII and using some custom scripts, Lightspeed has pulled together what he would like to think is a worthy Ghost Recon replacement, and the feedback is already very good.

He's so confident that this ArmAII mod will impress Ghost Recon fans that he has even issued a challenge; play his reworking of the Island Thunder campaign, solo or co-op, and see if it meets your expectations.

Watch a trailer about this amazing project at YouTube, and if you are looking for fellow tactical fans to join in enjoying this mod, we recommend Legion of Spartans.

There's also a behind the scenes explanation on how they achieved some of the shots, check it out.

Remarkably, the original (almost 10 years old) Ghost Recon supports these high resolutions and offers them as an option from the ingame settings. Thales explains..

You can download the superwide screenshots in the forums here, and also check out these other superwide screeshots from Thales; Doom3, Quake4, Wings of Prey, Assassin's Creed 2.

a lot of my own personal feelings about co-operative play in Conviction were strongly influenced by the campaigns in Ghost Recon, Gears Of War 2 and Left 4 Dead - it's just trying to find ways to encourage players to work together without necessarily forcing them to by making them jump through the bottle neck"

But then we've always known that Ghost Recon co-op is the best!

Many modders have contributed to this mod which has had a rocky road to release. It almost never saw the light of day, if it wasn't for a band of dedicated Ghost Recon modders.  So many thanks to Tinker for pulling it all together and all the contributing modders for their awesome talents and the time they put into this huge mod, eventually released after 2 years in development.
