Why do railguns emit harmful radiation? --Dthaiger 19:06, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

That's the rationale. Plus, we do not know what kind of power source the weapon uses (possibly Tiberium) and just how exactly it works. And, it fits. Mikael Grizzly 19:08, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

I always rationalized it as a matter of recoil - in the hands of any normal human, any sort of powerful railgun would probably break the person's shoulder in addition to firing the round. --Dthaiger 05:40, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

I was under the impression that a Ghost stalker was simply a kind of special commando rank, and not an individual character. The article makes this unclear (it doesn't go either way). What do other people think? --Snow93^{(talk)(contrib)} 16:21, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Well, the Ghostalker was an unique character in the GDI campaign, remember the long haired muscled guy? MikaelGrizzly 16:46, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

I don't think that's necessarily a unique character; you can build a ghost stalker in skirmishes and any mission if you reach the required tech level, and doesn't "the" ghoststalker die after TS, only to come back in FS? --Snow93^{(talk)(contrib)} 12:47, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

There was a build limit of one Ghostalker, implying his uniquity. Also, consult the promotional material and GDI campaign vids and missions, Ghostalker in TS always appears as a unique person. MikaelGrizzly 14:10, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

I haven't played Tiberian Sun (much), but by the sounds of things Ghoststalker is rather like Colonel Burton (or any hero) in Generals. Anyone can build him in a skirmish/multiplayer game, but in the single-player game he is a unique person, rather than simply being a 'commando' or somesuch. I would suggest that Ghoststalker is similarly a unique character, who just happens to be buildable in multiplayer (you know, to add a bit of fun). Makron1n 14:17, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

The Cyborg Commando and Mammoth MK II had the same build limit. I think the ghostalker is just a hightly trained mutant, likely by GDI, that has advanced (and expensive) weapons. The recoil effect suggested above may explain why they only have such weapons to mutants. I beleive that was a discripton about them in the manual.--24.172.193.143 20:18, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

The mutants were not allied with the GDI prior to TWII. The manual states that he's a Forgotten commando, not GDI trained Forgotten commando. MikaelGrizzly 21:49, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Where is the unit after the Firestorm crisis?

Just letting you know, in the mission that you free the Mutants from the Prison camp (Misson 9 part 1), if you go north and around then behind the cliff near your starting position you'll find a building where Ghoststalker and the Mutant Hjacker will join up with your forces. --68.219.76.197 20:21, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
