When I am creeping through a village in Opfp and I hear enemy armour I like to know I can go to the last LAW soldier I killed and have a go at that armour, rather than run away. Equally when aircraft start to make my life awkward it is good to know I can pick up a strela or stinger and deal with it rather than wait for it to lose interest… having more options doesn’t mean you have to use them.
Also as I mentioned there is nothing worse than not being able to complete a mission because you need to kill a tank and your LAW guy is dead. Infantry are all trained to use disposable LAWs like the AT4 or RPG-22, so there is no argument that other soldiers would not do it in real life.
These are soldier sims after all. (though they lack proper artillery).
Garry- Let me clear some stuff up for you. First you have to try Ghost Recon before you can really critisize it. Second, Ghost Recon takes an extremely hands on approach to combat. You can send your other teams to places on the map with real time waypoints, but by enlarge your fighting the entire battle yourself, which is why for the most part the enemy are stationed in defensive positions as there wouldnt be much of a game if the 100 or so average number of enemy per level all came running from all parts of the combat area to fight your total if six members in one big shootout. Ghost Recon does have anti tank rockets, but eliminating the switching of weapons is more realistic as in real combat where a soldier really isnt going to run back 2 or 3 miles to pick up a RPG off his dead comrad. Ive already admited that OpFP is more a dynamic type of combat and in that sense more realistic. But Ghost Recon simulates a more guerilla type of combat where your on your own, stealthily taking out enemy. For realistic shooting and AI tactics of the enemy, you cant match Ghost Recon. After youve completed at least one level of Island Thunder, then tell me what you think off its realism.
