You go into virtual reality to meet with people instead of just looking at a camera and a screen. I guess to help fully immerse you in the group dynamics of the meeting or whatever bullshit excuse corporate overlords of the future will come up with to force their employees into ridiculous situations.

Yes, basically give the face-to-face feel when its impractical to actually meet (like long distance.)

And another idea is that the mercs are on a deniable op so they cant bring around uber tactical super guns. That may explain using today's technology

That makes no sense. Would people on a deniable op today use weapons from 50 years ago?

Ghost recon stuff? Only super-high tech stuff they have is the Cross-Com thingy and the MR-C with the look-around-corner sight. Both are too expensive, complex, or just useless for the heros. They don't have the massive funding or satellite support the Ghosts enjoy, caseless weapons are not either available or not reliable enough for mercenaries. Besides, with the present weapons, you can always use ammo and parts form dead enemies in a pinch. A simple mirror will let you look around corners just fine without requiring 8x AAA batteries, a well-cushioned carry case, and an MIT degree to use/fix/understand the manual. Besides, the mirror can help you shave your face/legs.
