Introduction
Back in 2002 the well known DTD Pro Mod Team (line-up 2002: Cocobolo, Cobra6, WardenMac) released its first modification for Ghost Recon, based on the Israel Defence Forces. You might think that the first work for a new game won't be as good as latter. Wrong! The IDF mod features the same high-quality work as newer projects from DTD, like No Easy Day or the DTD Team Mod
Content
All new uniforms for all regular and specialist characters for Ghost Recon Desert Seige, and Island Thunder; new MP-Only characters;
Over 70 new weapon models;
Hundreds of new weapon kits, specialist kits, and multiplayer kits;
Over 10 new MP restrictions, including All UZI, AK vs Colt, Tavor vs Colt, all Suppressed, Snipers only, etc;
New sounds, all new kit icons, totally new splash and background screens, new interface, and all new credits screens.
Characters
Cocobolo did an awesome job on the character models and skins. A research on various IDF sites result that all characters are as close to the real world soldiers as possible. Most units of the IDF appear in this modification, the counter terror units only appear under the unlocked specialists (also Shayetet 13 combat divers, and alpine soldiers) . The standard soldiers are skinned for all 3 environments in Ghost Recon and they come with many different attachments per character. Here are pics of some.
Flashlight
Mit'znefet
A quote from Suicide Commando's No Easy Day review. It suits perfectly to this mod too: "Each rsb file really needs to be opened in Photoshop to grasp how perfect these skins truly are. Most everything contained within was not duplicated but put together from actual pictures of gear and fatigues."
Weapons
Every weapon that is listed on this site of the Israel Special Forces ( http://www.isayeret.com/weapons/overview.htm ) and even some extra variations are included in IDF 1.3. The weapons come with an enormous amount of details on the model and on the texture and my personal favourite is the IMI Tavor/M203. New sounds and reticles have also been added and they are top notch too.
The Rest
Included for the users enjoyment are new menu screens and credit images, interface and load icon. Also the arrow has been reworked. All these things make playing this modification to a new experience.
Conclusion
This mod is an oldie, but goldie! It's a must-have for every GR player. You won't find many realistic equipment mods like this with so much high-quality work included.
Overall score for DTD Israel Defence Forces 1.3 >>> 10/10
