Most of the expansion seems to have been dedicated to improving multiplayer options with the addition of two new modes: domination and siege play. Another problem is the team's inability to climb over obstructions like boxes or tree stumps, though an alternate route is usually available upon close inspection. Under heavy fire, they stop all movement, making them easy targets, until ordered into action. The members return fire, reload, take cover, and lay down cover fire, but won't take the initiative and attack a lingering enemy. The Ghost unit AI has also improved a bit, but not nearly enough. They've also learned to make use of grenades with alarming accuracy. Enemies now hide behind cover to snipe at you and scatter when one is attacked, unlike the previous game. The opponents' AI has been changed to make gameplay even more challenging than in Ghost Recon. Normally one of your team members will take a hit, though, which makes the mission more than a simple walk in the park. Single-player missions are a bit short and the enemies are usually located in the same areas, so memorizing the surroundings can make progress easier in repeat plays. Similar to the parent game, missions include objectives beyond simply killing the enemy and offer rewards of extra specialists and better weapons upon completion. The story is no more than a means to tie the action missions together in a meaningful way, but it is still engrossing. The missions include escorting a convoy through a desert pass, rescuing hostages, disarming bombs, and overrunning an enemy stronghold, just to name a few.

The 'Ghosts' are charged with putting an end to this little war.Įight single-player missions with enough goals, weapons, and tactics make the purchase worthwhile for Ghost Recon fans. The story takes place primarily in East Africa in 2009, where an Ethiopian warlord has invaded peaceful Eritrea and is threatening the Red Sea shipping lanes.

The add-on includes several patches as well as updates to game features, but doesn't alter basic gameplay or enjoyment. Installation of Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon is required for playing the expansion Desert Siege.
