About 3 minutes in I paused it and started looking for ways to buy it now.

More of the same with more, really liked the 1st one in Coop.

I enjoyed the first one too but do I want to play the exact same thing again? Nope

Bring back Splinter cell and park Ghost Recon for a few years, it’s exhausted now

I do and expect many others do too.

The new features are really needed, body hiding being the most important. Hopefully the bipods in the game work.

Few features taken from others games Tomb Raiders Camp Fires, Division Cover lock. But most importantly shoot someone in the head and they dead is still there.

Finishing one of the other idiotslads games the last week and he literally does not comprehend stealth, everything ends in a firefight....everything. Driving from A to B....firefight. Checking the map....firefight. Collecting a weapon....firefight.

Excellent game but really needs to be played in Coop to appreciate its awesomeness and downright stupidity.

Dcully · 10-05-2019 9:22am

So GR Wildlands , that game that i regretted buying after a few hours playing.
It was just a generic point and click with no challenge at max difficulty because enemies were lit up like christmas trees.
It really felt like a hold you hand dumbed down console snoozefest until i turned off the hud,the map,the spotting and all of a sudden we had the best tactical game in many years in an a huge open world.
I spend hundreds of hours playing like this and i firmly believe its the only way to play unless you want a generic no skill run and gun shooter that feels like you playing whack a mole.

Checkout this gameplay for an example.

Only a matter of time till cully came in and start talking about the HUD being turned off,we get it,your hardcore to the max:P

Mickeroo · 10-05-2019 12:43pm

Any chance of a BR mode I wonder. Was never arsed with the co-op but really liked the PvP they added.

I wasnt a huge fan of the original,it was definitely fun in coop but i felt the objectives were a bit repetitive. Might go back and give it another go at some point before this comes out.

Dcully · 10-05-2019 1:20pm

I admit i do go on about it a bit though lol

Polar101 · 11-05-2019 1:44am

I really enjoyed the campaign in Wildlands, the open world was absolutely amazing. I did make the mistake of playing it on 'normal' setting, but it was still fun in co-op even if it was fairly repetitive. After finishing the campaign I stopped playing, didn't have interest in pvp or the (whatever the prestige point mode was called).

So if this not a reskin like Farcry New Dawn, then I'm very excited.

Zero-Cool · 11-05-2019 10:05am

I remember playing the beta for Wildlands and thought it had some cool mechanics, I don't play many tactical shooters but this new one looks really interesting. Is Wildlands payable solo? Scheduling to be online at certain times is impossible for me and I don't fancy teaming up with randomers. I see it's currently 15 euro on PSN so wondering if worth a go.

Fwiw, Cully that no hud, no map gameplay looks class and has me interested in buying it just to try that.

lol you are kind spot on tho. For a challenging tactical shooter you have to turn off all the HUD stuff.

But for utter stupidity and craic leave it on and play with idiots.

"someone" tried to land a chopper on the Predator this week. In their brain they actually thought it would work.

it didnt.

Yeah its fine for SP and playing coop doenst affect anyones game progress.

as above turn off everything and this gets very very hard, I think playing SP in ghost mode with hud off would be extremely difficult.

Was just a friendly jest:P

Didnt even know you could turn off the hud till you posted it about the original!

Shiminay · 11-05-2019 5:32pm

I saw the reveal for it and whilst I'm mostly onboard, I'm a little bit apprehensive about having fiddly little flying things zipping around that I have to shoot in the form of the swarms of drones. A very minor bugbear I concede and it won't stop me keeping a close eye on how this looks closer to release. The best fun I had with Wildlands was crashing helicopters into things with the lads here on Boards and I think I might just have to reinstall it cause I'm not sure if I ever finished off the campaign.

Ah i know lol but i have gone on about it a bit too often , does transform the game though

Shiminay · 11-05-2019 10:53pm

So, fun fact, I just reinstalled Wildlands and got notice that there was a side mission awaiting me and without spoiling anything, it seems to be feeding into the story for the new game. I really like that they've done that and that they're tying both games together like that with a content update

dreamers75 · 11-05-2019 11:36pm

A few "new" missions added, Rainbow 6 Siege crossover, Splinter Cell, Future Soldier, Predator and the last one with Jon Berental.

Forgot I had the season pass, just finished fallen ghosts, didnt like the Narco wars one at the time. Too much driving in a game with ****ty driving controls.

It's fine solo, the other teammates will be AI so you still have your 'squad'. The enemies don't seem to detect the AI teammates, so stealthy stuff works too. But they're only good for reviving you and doing the 'sync' shot, you will be doing all the work.

Shiminay · 13-05-2019 10:18am

Yea, the AI soldiers are a bit pants. If you get into an open firefight, they don't do much to help beyond reviving, but if you use the order wheel, they can sometimes be a bit more responsive. It's worth remembering that order wheel too for calling in Rebel assistance - I used to forget all about it, but now I'll use it to spot all enemies in an area and to mortar something I'm about to attack and so on.

penev10 · 13-05-2019 2:11pm

Is this like metal gear solid 5? As in you can approach missions in a manner of your choosing. Really miss mgs5

Live now apparently.

dreamers75 · 27-09-2019 11:10pm

Yeah im gonna buy this, the "rpg" stuff is not even a thing, its a number to keep you playing after the story ends with harder and harder enemies(drones) and a headshot is still a head shot. And missions, they need to mix up the faction missions which I guess they are doing by public vote (F9 to like)

From what I can see the end game is not going to be hardcore no hud type stuff but soldier placement and damage output, kinda on the fence about that but it is a robot tank you are killing so.......

CQB still sucks, they need an FOV or of button switch for FPS when you have to go CQB. in fairness thats the 3rd person problem every game has but it would be a nice option for 1st person.

Dcully · 28-09-2019 10:37am

Played a bit of this lastnight and i doubt ill be buying, it just feels meh to play.

I tend to agree with this vid.

DarC_Kn1ght · 28-09-2019 11:00am

I hope the demo (beta) build is a atleast a few months old. Game releases in 6 days and i ran into so many bugs.

You can get the HTI .50cal almost immediateley in the full game, not sure what else you need in this game.

dreamers75 · 03-10-2019 8:37am

Bastards moved the HTI behind a level 150 Drone, so the TAC 50 is easy to get within minutes of starting.

Not sure why anyone would need to buy perk points or skell credits.

ZiabR · 03-10-2019 10:22am

Two videos from people who haven't played the game. One is a clickbait Youtuber that just pukes out garbage. And the other guy while he seems to make considered content his video is still clickbait as the feedback is based on the beta not the game.

Not saying it is going to be good or bad, but don't go on the opinion of people who make money from these clickbait videos.

Dcully · 03-10-2019 4:40pm

Joker has played the game.
Trust me im the first to not go by a content creators opinion, im a firm believer in experiencing games for myself.
I played the beta for 6 hours and it sucked, and i loved wildlands as did the joker guy.
Hes never struck me as having clickbait videos then again its probably subjective.

Grumpypants · 05-10-2019 1:21pm

Spent 6 hours on it last night. It's great fun.

Was just exploring, if you turn off the navigation you have to follow directions, study the map, find intel, talk to people to figure out what to do.

One example is you meet a guy he says there is a weird noise coming from the x mountains near the Y water fall that is bringing drones around.

You have to find that rough location on the map. Go there, look around find a cave with a weird noise. Head in kill some bad guys, find some intel that explains why the drones are drawn to the noise. Then later you find more intel that tracks the pathing the drones are on. That lets you find the antenna and blow it up.

So much better than drive towards a marker and shoot things.

Weapons and gear are found in crates and on dead bodies and in certain bases around the map. Worse weapons can be broken down and used to increase stats.

There is a lot to earn and unlock. And then there is a great skill system.

Dcully · 05-10-2019 2:14pm

Ill grab uplay+ to try it out , few friends started playing too.
Some of the transactions are hilarious, buy a way to bypass the whole point of the progression system, some people would buy anything .

EoinHef · 05-10-2019 3:02pm

Every single game ever..

Survival mechanics = a water meter

This looks like evrything i hate about most Ubi games. And some of the most brzen MTs ever to boot.

Grumpypants · 05-10-2019 3:52pm

I haven't seen any mtx yet. But I'm playing single player. Will play co-op when others get it.

Prob won't go near the multiplayer but since nothing you buy makes a difference in pvp i really dont care if people buy fancy clothes.

dreamers75 · 05-10-2019 4:10pm

Only gripe now after about 20 hours is that stealth is an option for a little bit but you are going to have a very noisy fire fight.

Any of the larger factories you are not going to clear it with stealth alone. The LMG and shotguns are options now because of the above.

A decent squad could stealth somewhere but you have to very fast and accurate and work together.

In Single play you stealth your way to a position you can defend from, you can sneak in get what you want and run but if you want to clear the area, be prepared to take the silencer off:)

The high horse brigade · 05-10-2019 4:15pm

Loved Wildlands, can't grow to this at all, it feels a little pointless

Dcully · 06-10-2019 1:45pm

Played some this morning, need to give it a bit more time but so far its not doing it for me.
Ai really are terrible.
