Lots more tactical murdering. But this one seemed the hardest of the bunch yet. Way more goons and lots of tight enclosed spaces causing stand offs. Clever name again also, seeing as it was set in Cuba. Final mission was quite tricky being a capture the enemy alive deal. But my soldiers kept shooting him. So I had to shoot my own men to stop them doing that and then capture him myself. Did enjoy these games. Looking forward to the newer ones a bit more now. Although I'm not sure how well the continuous quick save/quick reload method of play that was required for this will hold up in a co-op game with 2 players...

They didn't call it a desert siege for nothing. More of the same tactical face shooting action.

Serious tactical shooter action. Can be played both in first person direct control mode or in a strategic overseer commanding mode. I preferred the later. Tried to play Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter in co-op before and it didn't seem terribly well suited to it due to it's slow and serious pace. But it seemed to work better in single player where you can take your time to plan things out without boring a 2nd person. Has also held up surprisingly well for a game of it's age. Pleasantly surprising one, this. On to the expansion packs!
