My personal opinion on this is that anyone that are so affected by games that they actually open fire on their computer-controlled squadmate for saying "Goodbye" when capping a tango.. Well. Erm, anyway - I thought the doctor story preceding that paragraph was completely irrelevant in a game review. Although I must agree that I was surprised to hear my support operative yell "Nailed 'im!" when expecting the emotionless "Threat neutralized" I grew accustomed to in the Rainbow Six games.

"The music is top notch. It's typical of Red Storm to produce such outstanding music in their Tom Clancy games."

I'd like to see the actual creator (who is not part of RSE) Bill Brown get credit for this in the future, thank-you :)

"First of all the interface of the tutorial is really annoying. Certain times, a section of the tutorial can only be triggered by walking into a certain area--which is fine. It is not fine when you get to the section of your tutorial on commands. There you have a small space divided into four sections. As soon as you hit a section a large instructional window pops up, coupled with a little voice message from an annoying female voice. Now, in order to issue commands, you need to open your command window. Unfortunately it was almost impossible to do this in the command tutorial, because the pop up window always overlapped your command menu, making it impossible to do anything. I would naturally move back, so that the pop up would disappear, but I'd walk into the wrong place opening another pop up window, followed by another voice instruction."

Annoying? I found it confusing at first, but quickly got used to it - and quite enjoyed it. The fact that the map is rather free and there are "useless" places to wander around and about made it turn into a fun expedition. No Indiana Jones-esque adventures, but a nice walk nontheless.
Something this reviewer clearly did not have the patience to figure out was that if you just wait a little bit, the pop-up windows disappear, giving you plenty of room to do whatever you were instructed to.

"The reason that you carry only six members on your team is to keep the chances of detection low, but come on! I am sure twelve highly trained professionals could be as stealthy as six. It's really suicidal for six men to take on twenty-four."

I don't see the big deal about this. There's not really any need for more than six squadmembers - and having a dozen would be overdoing it (even in Operation Flashpoint I never controlled more than ten soldiers at a time - including myself).
And most Ghost Recon missions have closer to forty hostiles, not twentyfour :)

"And don't tell me that American soldiers are so stupid that if they ran out of ammo on their weapons they wouldn't pick up the weapon of a fallen soldier."

Probably not - but according to RSE's military advisors it is against Standard Operating Procedure to "loot" dead or incapacitated people - friendlies and hostiles alike. Apparently RSE decided that if you're not supposed to do it, they won't let you do it in the first place (unless it really screws up immersion of course - or else they'd remove friendly fire too).

"It's incredible that since Rainbow Six there have been over five sequels plus expansions, and we still see the same problems that plagued earlier games in the franchise. Another annoying fact is that you can't jump."

What the reviewer fails to consider here is the possibility that these "problems" aren't problems at all, but design decisions the develpers were fully aware of. Now, why would a special operations operative jump? He wouldn't. There's no need to. You can't hit a barn door when you're jumping. You can hardly jump at all while carrying loads of military gear. Jumping does nothing good.
Jumping is bad, mmmm'kay? :)

"Ever since I started playing online, I picked up the word "bots" from the online community. Bots is short for "robots" of course and is a term used for your computer opponents. The term Bots, is no truer for any game than Ghost Recon."

Actually, 'bots' is a term used about A.I. that replaces human players in multiplayer games. Quake III has bots. Unreal Tournament has bots. Return to Castle Wolfenstein does not have bots. Ghost Recon does not have bots.
Technically.

"If you trample the wrong leaf, or if you spit in the wrong direction the enemy will be alerted and finish you off."

In my experience, the tangos won't spot you as easily as you claim. As long as you don't go wandering off straight into their line-of-fire in a standing stance, you'll be relatively fine. Of course, if your Stealth skill is shot, you can barely hide behind an M1 Abrams without being spotted. On the other hand, with a high Stealth skill you can lie in a small bush and a tango patrol can walk by five metres away without suspecting a thing.

It doesn't matter where you fire from, they will know which direction no matter how quiet the shot, or how concealed you are.

If you're in a well-concealed position and fire a loud weapon, they'll hear the approximate source of the gunshot and lay down suppressive fire (though I have yet to be killed by said suppression). If you're using a suppressed weapon (that is, the MP5SD) you can pretty much take down a large patrol and they won't even open fire.

"... the enemy would make accurate long-range shots with their AK-47s. That's very difficult to imagine, as the Kalashnikov isn't known for its accuracy."
