Mod Synopsis:  A secretive next-generation mod guarunteed to surprise the Ghost Recon community with its originality and refinement. All we know is the following:

Several new sub-classes within the rifleman class, each with their own uniform and dedicated weapons.

A completely new character class: The Grenadier. The sniper class has been completely removed and replaced (including the class name) from the game. Snipers are now only available as specialists.

A ground-breaking non-linear campaign.

New training facilities, and training missions, to help you learn various techniques and tactics.

Accurate represenations of United States military uniforms and equipment. We have two dedicated Military Advisors on this project.

A new style of gameplay, which requires foresight, cunning, and great skill.

Tweaked enemy weapons. Enemy combatants now react more like human beings, and not like uber-soldier robots.

Brand new sounds for DYNACOMP weapons, sampled from recordings of the real weapons, all 100% original.
