Tom Clancys Ghost Recon Wildlands

What I want is original Ghost Recon redone in 2016 skin and playing like Siege.

What I hope its not is The Division and bullet sponge enemies.

What we get I dont know.

Any 4 player open world coop game could be prone to being very easy so either the AI are lethal or there is something to make it difficult.

From the look of the map it looks less division more far cry/ just cause.

Edit: Just saw an email form gamestop advertising pre-orders, among other things it mentions an XP boost and a 'gear set', that could be purely cosmetic though

Visually though it does look nice from the small piece of in game footage at the end of the trailer of the squad taking position on a village.

From what I've heard, you will have a team of 4 operators you can customize and play single play, but friends can drop in to control one of them. Doesnt look as MMO-ish as the Division was so hopefully there will be no bullet sponges.

I just love the views of the walking single file across Bolivian mountain ranges.

It will be drop in drop out from what I understand but it's not designed to be an always online co-op to win game like Division.
As this is supposed to be a realistic squad shooter and not an RPG so one shot to had should kill anyone, if it's not them I'm not touching this.

Yeah, I don't like what Ubi is doing with all it's games. First they added exp points to Rainbow Six, then Splinter Cell and now this.

They are an elite team going after drug cartels in central America, they don't need exp to get better guns or pink paint to put on said guns ffs.

The extra crap in Siege is purely cosmetic and user has the choice to use it or not. I like its that way.

Siege is Ubis best game in a long long time.

Siege is a joke to the Rainbox Six games, restricted weapon loads, and over the top weapons damage to walls.

Swat 3 released around 13 years ago did it all better and more realistic.

Agree with Swat but Raven Shield et all have not aged well and Siege is obviously technically far superior to it.

Loadouts are perfect for me otherwise everyone be running around with L8A2s and grenades.

Siege is a good as your gonna get in tactical CQB FPS in this day and age.

Sweet!

Ideally the Platinum trophy will be locked behind doing lots of online activities you don't want to do

Very excited for this game, but wary also. Ubi games are consistent if anything. I liked Siege and The Division was enjoyable, a bit disappointing in endgame, but it shows they're shifting their scope slightly away from the traditional Assassin's Creed/Far Cry formula.

I love tactical games, and hopefully if Wildlands is good I'll finally have a good tactical game to play with my friends on console, I'm a bit stuck on my own atm playing Arma 3 and SWAT 4.

Probably nit picking here, but that AI seemed a bit... poor. 3 AI in the room and they run away instead opening fire, only to hide beside an open door, allow the player to walk up and knock him out. And the pickup they are chasing seems very tanky. Tires not being blown out. Windows not taking much damage.

Not sold on this one.

My concern is that also but I assume there will be high difficulty levels. I have found 4 players in COOP vs AI generally destroy AI after a while.

My other concern would be seems like a lot of land with fcuk all to do in it. Impromptu vehicle races would get old.

From that trailer, the game looks to be setup to promote proper tactical assaults; sniper overlooking the zone, the other 3 infiltrating pincer style. You would expect to have better AI when, by the looks of it, it'll be 1, possibly 2, players up against multiple AI in different locations.

I am still interested in it, but those graphics (while they maybe still alpha), look pretty bland. Or am I blind?

paul_booth_fan

I was looking forward to this game. Seemed like a decent squad based shooter, the bullet spongey grind fest that is the Division really doesn't appeal to me. That E3 gameplay video has definitely changed my opinion though. Can't explain it, but something doesn't sit well with me.

Sometime this year?

Sephiroth_dude

It's being released in March yeah?

DeadlyByDesign

Has anyone gotten into the beta? I haven't signed up for it.

I have a lot of concerns;

* Destroying AI after a decent amount of time with the game
* Repetition- what is the post release schedule- new missions/maps? How does that work?
* Reward system- now admittedly I have not read up on this. Is there a loot/reward system?
* Ubisoft game
*Ubisoft
*Ubisoft have a tendency to drop the ball

GerB40

They do drop the ball quite a bit. The Division was unforgivably bad. But the beta hasn't been released yet so we play the waiting game which, ironically, isn't that much worse than The Division.

johnnybucks

So no is the answer to the date of the Beta.....?

Wonda-Boy

Once bitten and all that, not gonna even keep up to date with this. I will give it 2 mnths after release and see how the land lies.....no way on earth I am going through another Division scenario.

A wise move, everything I've seen of this so far screams Division to me. I never ever want to play a borefest like that again so won't be touching this until the gampelay/progression/structure and end goals are clearer.

Yes, 7th of March.

But I thought this wasn't an mmo like the division ? So why are ye all worried it's gonna be another division? No bullet sponge etc

Gway lads, ye're all getting it Day 1 plus the season pass and ye know it.

Week ending 29th of Jan rumouringly.

I say I wont buy it on day 1 ......


Will check out the Beta and decide from that. Once its proper ****ing hard in coop like the original Ghost Recon games and not bullet spongies like the Division I will be somewhat happy, plenty of missions after wards will help.

I'd have thought that serious lessons would've been learnt from The Division.

Wonda-Boy

We are gamers ffs, we dont learn lessons. We constantly live in hope that the DEVS learn from their own mistakes from the last game they made!!!!

DURP!

I paid 30 for the Division and I enjoyed it for a number of hours with other people, I was on the beta.

It was not the game I seen at e3 and bullet sponge was added sometime between. I dont regret buying The Division (havent played in months and not much intention too).

So yeah ....learned nothing

bigphil2

this seems to be defintiely more of a shooter that an rpg (which The Division definitely is,hence the bullet sponge shooting)

Ill try the Beta but im not confident that it will be anything other than Far Cry four player co-op..

DeadlyByDesign

Plus to throw another spanner in the works here.

Ya know all that super smooth co-op you see in the trailers? It's in no way going to be like that in a live environment with strangers. You will have at least the majority of playing sessions ending with the one twat that insists on playing it like John Rambo and ruining it for everyone.

The worst thing is, I reckon judging by what i have seen of the AI so far, it is possible to do this.

Plus coupled with the fact Ubisoft gameplay demos are always scripted to the nth degree. Even if you have a good squad with everyone playing in full co-op mode working as a team, it's never going to be like what the trailers make it seem like.

I played a **** load of Wow since vanilla and just never found that funny at all. Ok bye

awec

Is this game supposed to be like a MGS5 / Division hybrid thing? I'm not really clear.

Pre ordered it based on that.

Only gripe is that the player should have died numerous times, hoping its on easy or something for the videos sake.

And if you die its mission failed.
