Featuring MVD Osnaz, Centcom, Danish Forces, A Cold Day in Hell, Sniper Cannon and the UKSF, there is a massive amount of new content on the horizon for Original Ghost Recon.

Posted by Rocky on Thursday, August 17 2006
Back in June, PC Gamer (US) started a "classic game" feature where they wanted gamers to identify which...

"... classic game [at least 5 years old] keeps you coming back for more? What is it about that game that makes you toss aside the latest and greatest technological gaming marvel?"

Dick Splash brought it to the attention of Ghost Recon fans in this thread, where several members subsequently posted the contents of their own e-mail to PC Gamer - and indeed one of them was printed (edited down slightly) in PC Gamer this month!

GR.net v RSE Pt II
Posted by Rocky on Sunday, August 13 2006
A few days ago a select team of GR:AW 360 players representing GhostRecon.net, took part in a return GR:AW 360 challenge match against the games developers, Red Storm Entertainment.

After the first round back in May it was RSE that walked away victorious, leaving the fans licking their wounds. This time around though it was a very different story, with the developers eventually regretting their opening taunt of "ready to lose?". Pabes has posted a match summary over at 2old2kwit, and there are some more details in our forums, pick up the story from this post onwards. Sounds like great games!
