Best Ghost Recon Classic Game?

[Yawzee]

Other then Future Soldier (which was the last Ghost Recon game i played), I used to play Advanced Warfighter series. But never got a chance to try out the original or classic Ghost Recon games.

Got any recommendations on which Ghost Recon classic games or expansion i should try?

If so, would nice if you guys could share some pros and cons, and maybe some guides for a proper experience like widescreen fix and etc.

Thank you :)

The Original, then Desert Siege and Island Thunder. If you need more of that then Sum of All Fears, SWAT3 and SWAT4

Exactly. The first three Ghost Recon games - in my opinion - are the best of them all for many reasons. Sum Of All Fears is not quite as good as the originals, but worth the few bucks you have to pay to add it. Although I would not consider the SWAT games in the Ghost Recon category, they are great games and are worth playing.

Ghost Recon 2001, obviously.

GRAW 1 and 2 on PC were admirable and even pretty decent, but some of the levels suffer from "BS-itus", where enemies are strategically placed to insta-kill players the first time on a map. I like the health system of it as well, which is a decent evolution of the system in GR 2001, giving it a fairer approach compared to a more realistic one, and the addition of controlling vehicles with commands was a true step up in the right direction. If consoles actually got the GRAW that PC players got, I don't think it would have sold as well, due to players moving towards faster paced, less realistic gameplay, but they were good games. The skirmish missions on console were the closest the console games got to the PC versions, where the levels were wide open and you could die a lot faster.

After that it's a wash. I haven't played Wildlands but I think I saw an enemy take like half a mag from a 5.56 rifle and went "Yea no, this is not for me."

If an enemy can take 10+ shots from a rifle, it's not a tactical shooter.
