In Predator, players control a squad of three Ghost special forces soldiers (from a selection of 8 possible characters from 5 different classes including scout, support gunner, marksman, shotgunner, and medic) to hunt terrorists in jungles and bases in

Ghost Recon 2
or Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter, the player is able to dynamically switch between control of all three of their Ghost squad mates, instead of only controlling a single main character.

Plot

Setting

The game is set in

Patriotic People's Front
, the military branch of the JVP.

Story

After the crew of several

U.S.
mining vessels off the coast of Sri Lanka are massacred by unknown assailants, a team of Ghost special forces soldiers led by Colonel Scott Mitchell are covertly sent into Sri Lanka to deal with the situation. On the ground in Sri Lanka, the Ghosts are assisted by Mister Hisan and the Mumpuri Guard, a non-political group formed to protect the civilian population from various armed factions that are currently fighting for control of the country.

The Ghosts receive intelligence from the

CIA identifying one of the armed groups, the People's Action Front (also known as the Activists) as being responsible for the massacre of the U.S. ship crews. The Ghosts take out several Activist bases and eventually assassinate their leader, "The Teacher". However, once the Teacher is dead, the Ghosts are ambushed by a much better equipped and more paramilitary
-style faction known as the Loyalists. After being rescued by the Mumpuri Guard, the Ghosts engage in activities against the Loyalists, including rescuing Colonel Mitchell after his helicopter is shot down by them.

The Ghosts eventually learn that the CIA's informant in Sri Lanka, Dilip Khan, is a member of the Loyalists and gave the U.S. false information implicating the Teacher in the attacks on U.S. ships. The attacks were actually conducted by the Loyalists as a

Minister of Energy
.

The Ghosts infiltrate Ranga's mansion estate, where Ranga is either killed or captured, bringing an end to the hostilities. They are thanked by Mister Hisan for their actions, and inform him that "they were never here."

Reception

The game was met with mixed reception upon release; GameRankings gave it a score of 56%,[2] while Metacritic gave it 54 out of 100.[3]
