Very interesting game I had.
I loved it. The “final boss fight” at the end was tense.

(In case you guys haven’t heard of it, I inverted the lines using this nifty site.)

undefined- Day 0, Billy is starting his adventures.

Try Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon from 2001. In my opinion it feels almost exactly like what Recon might be if it were an FPS. There’s a solid emphasis on stealth and positioning, and the AI is absolutely brutal when they start training their guns on you. So it really sucks it was the only game of its kind in the series; the rest were the…[Read more]

King Crimson + STWALT = Absolute epicness.

Actually all enemies have a certain chance to come equipped with US weapons. I think it’s related to leveling and/or red folder weapons stat. Don’t be too surprised after seeing farmers with M60’s late in the game.
In fact regional force and NVA seem to have a higher chance to have them. Needless to say they’re more skilled too. Watch…[Read more]

Man have I missed Recon suggestion threads.

Don’t currently have too much time to catch up with everything else, so in the meantime I’ll talk about rocket launchers! The game needs more.

Flamethrowers have been mentioned a bit. Why not just go with the M202A1 FLASH?

Four rockets! And it’s reloadable…[Read more]

Good article, Lance. It’s not my style personally, but taking it slow exp-wise has its benefits.

Additional notes:
An advantage of easy early rank missions is that it’s much easier to get certain pretty useful ribbons, namely First Recon, Dedication, EOD (with good luck, that is!) and the various X Recon Operations and Conduct ribbons whose…[Read more]

If you’re gonna listen to anything today, do listen to this. Preferably at a good, high volume.

Obscure Seventies rock/metal does have its shining moments among its shining moments.

The Philippines, specifically in a city a good distance from the capital, Manila in southern Luzon. Hot as hell, especially now with the summer season. Expect temperatures rising to around 37°C or more come the afternoon.

A major salute to whoever invented the air-conditioner. We’re used to heat, but that doesn’t mean we like it. Voting last…[Read more]

Ah yes, gotta love good historical YouTubers.
I love CrashCourse (loved the Vlogbrothers for a long time but I have yet to catch up to their newer stuff) and Military History Visualized. Essential stuff. I’ve never been a huge LindyBeige fan, though. His style just doesn’t appeal to me.
Here’s a bit more.

(Still) got you a guy who can do both.
After another long, unintended hiatus, I decided to pull up Recon the other day and see if I still got the moves.

Not to brag, but it looks like I only got better. Two missions with ≥50% coverage. Looks like my tactical FPS sessions seem to have payed off. Thanks, Tom Clancy!

This here was from a POW R…[Read more]
