Talk:Ghost Recon

Filling out has begun

I've added a few pics to begin my filling out of the first of several Ghost Recon game articles, but I can't seem to get the pics to line up correctly. Spartan198 10:22, 10 March 2009 (UTC) Spartan198

Okay, I've added pics of most of the weapons that were already listed, but left a couple blank (the IMFDB AK74 page doesn't seem to have a pic of the synthetic-stocked AK74M that was used in-game and I'm not quite sure which variant of "M1911A1" was used by the enemy commander in Mission 1). Plus I added a couple of new entries, the start of a good-length list of unique weaponry. Unlockable specialist characters are equipped with weaponry that isn't available to non-specialist Ghost Team operators, so they have specialized equipment. I'm going to play the game, make a list, then outline what is used. Spartan198 21:16, 10 March 2009 (UTC) Spartan198

Oh, and don't let the unorganized manner of the list bother you. I'll be fixing that as soon as I outline how I'm going divide everything. Spartan198 21:23, 10 March 2009 (UTC) Spartan198

I think the CAR-15 in the Box Art has a brass deflector.-Oliveira 22:38, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

PS2 version

I have the ps2 version of this game with the desert siege expansion and a lot of these weapons are not included in the game while I miss others. Should I make a seperate page or just include them on this page, I'm kinda confused since the screenshots have a different HUD than my version. -Deafmatch 12:22, 28 April 2011 (CDT)

Need help with this tank-gun (again)

I know I suck but I just don't like tanks.

A detail is once again amazing. Thanks in advance. - bozitojugg3rn4ut 12:32, 20 October 2011 (CDT)

Looks like a premature-birthed NSV heavy machine gun. - Mr. Wolf 14:26, 20 October 2011 (CDT)

Yeah, the T-72 itself isn't much better. Those weird looking bands on the side of the turret are supposed to be spare belt boxes for the NSV, to give some idea of how they've messed up on details. Evil Tim 14:34, 20 October 2011 (CDT)

Another tank:

Gun looks like a Shipunov.

Can you get me some more angles of the turret? I think that's trying to be a T-90, but I can't really tell. NSV, if it is. Evil Tim 15:33, 21 October 2011 (CDT)

Maybe a DShKM, judging from the "muzzle brake". - Mr. Wolf 18:55, 21 October 2011 (CDT)

The NSVT mounting can end up looking pretty chunky, here's a good example. Evil Tim 03:26, 22 October 2011 (CDT)

But its muzzle brake is not as defined as the DShKM's though. - Mr. Wolf 14:29, 22 October 2011 (CDT)

Yeah, but the last Russian tank to mount a DsHK was the T-62. Maybe just list it as "generic machine gun?" Evil Tim 15:07, 22 October 2011 (CDT)

Honestly no idea.

If that's supposed to be a BMP-2, then it's a Shipunov 2A42. --Funkychinaman 15:25, 21 October 2011 (CDT)

Not really sure if this SAM counts...

SA-13? --Funkychinaman 15:30, 21 October 2011 (CDT)

Yes. Non-portable SAMs are usually going a little far; try to get the launcher in an image with something else and ID it there if you want to include the ID on the page. Evil Tim 15:33, 21 October 2011 (CDT)

Is this image good? Or should I get close-up of the MG?

I think they were trying to make it a T-80. So it's an NSVT. I guess they did give it a flared muzzle at least... Evil Tim 17:31, 21 October 2011 (CDT)

M256 120mm gun, Browning M2 (looking a little small) and a M240. (Two of them if you want to include the coax.) --Funkychinaman 17:01, 21 October 2011 (CDT)

Some more guns:

bozitojugg3rn4ut 08:11, 23 October 2011 (CDT)

First one is an Mi-24 Hind, the gun is a Yakushev-Borzov Yak-B. Second is a Bradley, M242 Bushmaster chaingun and M240C. Evil Tim 11:11, 23 October 2011 (CDT)

A Lost Era in Gaming

It used to be that Tom Clancy's games were serious tactical shooters in a time when that was still a viable genre in PC gaming. Now with the emphasis on console and casual gamers, serious tactical shooters like the early Ghost Recon games or Rainbow Six games or the SWAT series are all pretty much shot dead, with next to no hope of being revived in a form closely resembling their originals. I doubt the original Ghost Recon or Rainbow Six would recognize their modern incarnations (what with quickly regenerating health, Gears of War style cover, etc.), but unfortunately it seems that the more modern incarnations are all that will sell now. Where did we go wrong? --Mazryonh 20:12, 21 October 2011 (CDT)

I played the first Rainbow Six when I was like 9 or 10 (lol), I loved that game and I was very good at it. Aww, good memories... - Mr. Wolf 20:29, 21 October 2011 (CDT)

U.S. Army Helicopter

Black Hawk with Minigun? bozitojugg3rn4ut 15:34, 28 October 2011 (CDT)

Yes. Evil Tim 15:45, 28 October 2011 (CDT)

Ghost Recon 2

I know this is the first GR's page, but I was wondering, should we make a new Ghost Recon 2 page? I know most of the guns from the PS2 verison and some one could do the xbox verison's weapons.--Commandoninja137 (talk) 20:47, 27 September 2012 (EDT)

GR2 had a page but it was deleted (twice) because of lack of effort. If you want to recreate the page it must be top class job. Obviously, it is hard to get caps from a console, but IIRC the page was deleted because it had no descriptions and/or weapon images. - bozitojugg3rn4ut (talk) 02:15, 28 September 2012 (EDT)

I literally just made a whole Ghost recon 2 page with all this information and it wouldn't let me save and it said to log out and log in to save and its all gone. --Commandoninja137 (talk) 15:26, 28 September 2012 (EDT)
