Phoenix Soldiers

Silent Op sent in The Phoenix Soldiers Mission Pack 1 missions today. These missions are designed to sharpen team work and communication skills. If co-op play is your forte, you and your teammates will appreciate the tactical minded approach required to complete each mission.

Dogs of War
Posted by Rocky on Tuesday, June 21 2005
Dogs of War is the latest mission pack from Trench Soldier. There are 10 missions included, inspired by the film of the same name, and also by ex SAS Simon Mann. Read more details on Trench Soldiers site. It's interesting to note that mission 4 has never succesfully been completed, not even by the author - so there's a challenge! Desert Siege and Island Thunder are required, download here.

YOTM Interview
Posted by Rocky on Saturday, June 18 2005
Year of the Monkey (YOTM) promises to be one of the most exciting mod releases for Ghost Recon this year, infact it could be one of the greatest mods ever released for Ghost Recon if it reaches its potential.

You may be surprised to hear that YOTM has actually been in progress for around 3 years, and it's never been closer to release than now. With that in mind we interviewed project leader The Blakeness and snagged a few screenshots while we were at it. Read the full YOTM interview for details on the talented team working on YOTM, the maps, the missions and the weapons.

Swartsz.com
Posted by Rocky on Wednesday, June 15 2005
Ghost Recon weapon modeller Swartsz has opened up his own brand new website to display his work at swartsz.com.

Swartsz has been responsible for some of the best weapon models ever seen in Ghost Recon and was the holder of our Best New Modder award in 2004. It was just over 2 years ago that Swartsz installed Ghost Recon and started posting in the forums here. Not long after that he released his first mod - Silent Warrior. Ever since then he has been working on improving his weapon modelling skills, and recently landed work at a game design studio. Catch up with Swartsz's latest models in our forums here.

Trainride Movie
Posted by Rocky on Tuesday, June 14 2005
Deleyt continues to make progress with his promising Trainride mod for Ghost Recon. This week he blessed us with a great movie showing how things are coming along. As you'll see you can ride on a moving train, with awesome sounds, and operating doors. You'll also see how it's possible to run up and down the carriages, run over the train tacks from train to train using convenient planks of wood, all at breakneck train speed!

It really is very cool, CQB Rainbow Six fans are going to wonder why on earth they've never had this! Check it out and post some feedback for Deleyt here.

The result is a very candid, detailed and open interview that includes references to Rogue Spear, Ghost Recon, Combat Elite and the time John spent with another game design team before starting his own studio.

In the second new mission pack from Trench Soldier today there are 13 missions based around a fictitional battle in present day Somalia.
