Games like the original Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon (beehaw.org)

Wondering if there are any good games out there which play like the original Rainbow Six/Ghost Recon games. Games where tactics are completely necessary to survive, and one shot will kill you.

Only looking for single player experiences.

Glad to see all these recommendations -- I hadn't heard of Ground Branch, I'll have to check it out. This post is reminding me of how great the original Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon games where.

Also, there is a forgotten entry from the original developer! There was a video game tie-in for The Sum of All Fears movie, and it was basically a reskin of the original Ghost Recon with indoor maps. I remember playing the demo back when it first came out. Looks like it's on Steam, and the critics agree: it's meh! But I want to play it anyway now. https://store.steampowered.com/app/19810/The_Sum_of_All_Fears/

Side note: does anyone know a legit way to get Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear? I swear it was on Steam or GOG at one point, but I can't find it now. Thankfully, I have it on a CD from when it first came out, but I wish I could recommend it to other people.

Yeah, I was also wondering about Rogue Spear. My CDs for these games are long gone. I purchased Rainbow Six on GoG, but unfortunately it just doesn't seem to want to start on my computer. So I'm guessing the same would probably be true of Rogue Spear.
