Trivia :
- It may seem strange to PS2 owners that second add-on to Ghost Recon, yes this very Island Thunder was released for Xbox and PC, yet not for PS2. Well, it may be hard to notice, but the third add-on, Jungle Storm, which is PS2 exclusive contains both Jungle Storm and Island Thunder full scenarios. There is very little of it said on the box cover as it looks like Jungle Storm only, but once you start the game you see Jungle Storm is the main game, but Island Thunder that was amiss for PS2 players is full contained as an alternate scenario to be played.

Using hero or specialist kits for others:
This application is used for using hero or specialists kits for your ordinary riflemen, demo, support or snipers. Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup copy of the file before proceeding. Go into your game directory, and open the "\red storm entertainment\ghost recon\mods\origmiss\kits\hero\" folder. There you will find a file corresponding to each hero. For example. "henry_ramirez". Open his or her file, copy all the *.kit files and paste them into "\red storm entertainment\ghost recon\mods\origmiss\kits\rifleman" (or "demolitions", "heavy-weapons", "sniper", or whichever class you want to add the kit to. Now even your ordinary riflemen can use the OICW, or even a sniper rifle.
Use multi-player weapons in single player mode:
Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup copy of the file before proceeding. Go into your game directory, and open the "\red storm entertainment\ghost recon\mods\mp1\" "\red storm entertainment\ghost recon\mods\mp2\" folder. Open the "kits" file, then the "multiplayer" file. There you will find the extra kits that you would normally find only in multi-player mode. Copy those kits into your "\red storm entertainment\ghost recon\mods\origmiss\kits\rifleman (or demolitions, etc.).
Hint: Boost stats:
Start a private game in cooperative mode. Play the game on the elite difficulty setting with unlimited respawns and grenades. You will get a win and 45 kills easily.
Hint: Recommended weapons:
The best series of weapon combinations to use for online play are the SA80/M136 (Anti-Tank 4) and OICW/20mm Grenade Launcher. It is not recommended that you become a sniper for online play. Many of the players that play online rush other players when each game begins, and a sniper does not have the time to find an area for spotting. Typically, the game will not last long enough for you to be a sniper and many players do not like to wait for another player to find a sniper.
If you are able to effectively use your Threat Indicator (radar), you will be able to know where an enemy opponent is, and which direction he or she may be moving. There are two colors, yellow and red. The red circle in the middle of the Threat Indicator indicates that the enemy is 15 meters from your current position. On the outer most ring of the Threat Indicator, you will see flashes of red when opponents shoot in your direction. The yellow is a 90° viewing angle of where your enemies are. If you have a 90° angle, naturally you have four quarters to work with. When you look left and right, notice that the yellow will transfer to another quarter of the circle. The best way to find your opponent's location is to look left until the yellow changes. At the exact point that it changes, stop. Your opponent is exactly in the direction that is on the far right of your screen. The same applies to looking right and at the same point that the yellow changes to a different quarter your opponent is at the very left of your screen.
