Merry Christmas!
Posted by Rocky on Saturday, December 24 2005
On the first day of 2006 we'll look back at the highlights of 2005. We'll also be promoting the forum awards, your chance to vote for your favourite Ghost Recon mods, and other forum awards. The ball has already started rolling on these awards, you can get involved here.

Merry Christmas to all the fans, forum members and GR.net Supporters who have support GhostRecon.net during the past twelve months. A year with no new Ghost Recon titles for the PC, but another year of remarkable enthusiasm from the fanbase that has made this one of the most outstanding gaming communities anywhere.

Merry Christmas to each and every member of Staff here at GhostRecon.net who have put in ridiculous hours to keep this place a pleasant place to visit.

And finally Merry Christmas to Ubisoft, GRIN and Red Storm Entertainment. We know our present isn't arriving on Christmas Day, but we can wait, I think we've proved that!

Of course it's not Christmas without a Ghost Recon Christmas mod, so here's the Save Santa mission by NYR, enjoy!

Red Storm GDC
Posted by Rocky on Friday, December 16 2005
As some of our regulars will know we have some very talented graphic designers amongst our forum members. So keen were they on producing regular designs and competitions, we gave them no less than 6 Design Forums to play in!

One of those forums is called the GDC and is the focal point for a regular Graphic Design Contest. This month they took a close look at our favourite game designers logo - Red Storm Entertainment, with a view to giving the original logo a re-design, and the results are superb!

Take a look at all of the entries for this in house design contest run by GhostRecon.net members, the talent in there is quite amazing!

The Punisher
Posted by Rocky on Thursday, December 1 2005
I promised this a few days ago so apologies for the delay, but as you can see Ghost Recon news has been thick and fast recently.

The Punisher is a cool new mission by GiWeDa for Ghost Recon - with a twist. The twist being it is played out on one of the great The Sum of all Fears maps. In order to play this mod you must already have The Sum of all Fears installed. The clever installer created by GiWeDa will do all the work required to get The Punisher up and running in the quick mission section of Ghost Recon.

Please check the readme file carefully to ensure the installer works correctly the first time! Download here.

GR Widescreen
Posted by Rocky on Thursday, December 1 2005
CR6 has some information about playing Ghost Recon on a widescreen monitor - it looks extremely cool too. Check it out at GR-Retreat.

Redlight
Posted by Rocky on Thursday, December 1 2005
Cobaka is releasing a map he's been working on for quite some time - Redlight.

It's an extremely detailed map with lots of nice features for those who venture into the maps many locations. It'd be great to see this map with some cool missions, until then - download the map and enjoy some urban firefights! Images and feedback starting here, download here.

GR:AW PC Dev Chat
Posted by Rocky on Thursday, December 1 2005
Deosl has posted details from the Advanced Warfighter Dev chat today here. It was nice to see so many of our forum regulars manage to get their question in during the very busy question and answer session! Thanks of course go to the developers for answering so many questions from Ghost Recon's die hard fans!

<Peter> Everyone knows that PC-gamers love cooperative gamestyle - still, almost no game developers seem to understand it. Will Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter for PC support cooperative gamestyle?

[ +Ulf ] Of course - this is one of our main focuses for the entire gameplay. The tactical approach is balanced with the co-op in mind.*

Read the full thing here.
