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.

I agree with what many others are saying:

Ground Branch gameplay is very reminiscent of old Ghost Recon. Probably the standout feature is the customization/loadouts.
Ready Or Not is like SWAT, which has a lot of similarities to old Rainbow Six. The atmosphere is a lot more grim compared to the others. This also has decent AI teammates and commanding over them when playing single player.
Arma 3. In a lot of ways, the Arma series can be compared to Ghost Recon, but with a ton of extra realism/depth/scale/gameplay possibilities. There is also a ton of single player content across the base game, DLCs, and community-made missions and mods. Or you can make your own missions. The official single player content has a surprising amount of lore, if you are into that. Compared to the rest of my suggestions, this is the only game that isn't in early access (and it shows). There is so much more to say about Arma 3, if you have interest, but I don't want to write too much here if you don't need to hear more.
Zero Hour has had a lot of its thunder stolen by Ready Or Not, but it might still be worth looking into if you want more options.
