It's like the more realistic these games get the less fun they become.

 

I thought games were meant to be fun.. right?

 

Looooved the original Ghost Recon.. not so interested in this one.

Jonny-Two-Delta 17 pts

Lots of pretty crap games get 7 or 7.5 on GS.I can't imagine that this isn't atleast a slight improvement on GRAW2.

Kickable 23 pts

 Jonny-Two-Delta crappy team/enemy AI can sink a game, it might not be so obvious in gameplay video

What about kinect control; nothing was said about it. Why?

PunkStream 5 pts

 xboxgameman The Kinect is pretty much only used for voice control, such as telling your teammates where to stand or fire. This isn't a massive feature to the game. The only time where you get up wave your hands, is when you construct your weapons. I was watching my brother play it today, and he was pulling apart and replacing attachments to his guns. It's just plain awesome. :D

God this game suck in comparison to the older Tom Clancy games. The old games had decent tactics in them... this one... OH GOD! I've had teammates RUN THROUGH ME FROM BACK TO FRONT when I was taking a sniper shot and I shot my guy in the back of the head... I've got to climb a ladder and got pushed out the the way by the whole damned team... I even got seasick because the damned camera rocked and rolled all over the place...

 

And my biggest gripe... they took away the first person hud view.

 

The game was hilarious too... Ghost Lead shouting at me "THEY ARE GOING TO SEE YOU" when I was like 20ft away from an enemy while he was standing right next to one. And the glitches... Skating Bad Guys... Ever go to shoot one and then SHWWOOOOOP..... they move about 8ft to the side.

 

Sorry, but this game sucks in comparison to Rainbow Six Vegas 1 and 2 and GRAW 1 and 2.

 I don't know what Tom Clancy games you've been playing, but the teammate AI has always been shady, particularly in the Vegas games.

Rewind even further back to the first Ghost Recon and R6 games, I specifically remember restarting missions because my teammates would chase a grenade into a room and die.

 

Somehow I doubt you even played Tom Clancy games prior to this...

NeoMorph1 5 pts

 pvtluca Started playing TC games back when I got Rainbow Six on a 486 back in 1998 and then got a Pentium 133 to run it better. Kind of miss the old "Plan the assault" system that the original had... I have bought most of TC games since but missed out on the Splinter Cell games up until Conviction came out (and still love that game). So yeah... played a few and still got most of them that were released for 360.

 

I do sound as if I am trolling though... sorry about that. Just irritation when the game glitched out again (for the umteenth time). But it's just so damned annoying that there are so many things that could have been done better.

 

For example, add an option for first/third person like in previous Ghost Recon games (friend played it third person while I played it in first). I hate the current sticky reticle aiming system (again, why not give us options to aim manually and not stick on enemies) and I REALLY hate the game_on_rails mechanics that is too Wii like.Ghost Recon seems to get dumbed down more and more as time goes by. Ghost Recon 2 was the peak imho. You can choose the way to assault the target in that one iirc.

 

But  what I really loathe about Future Soldier (and what sent me off on the troll like behaviour) is that the maps has those invisible walls. If not invisible walls you "lose connection" to your own body. Nothing like running for obvious cover spots only to bounce off that force field to ruin your day (the mission in the hold of the ship is where that really pees me off) If it's blocked off PUT A CRATE THERE! Some sort of visual clue at least.

 

Maybe it's rose coloured glasses syndrome... but I do miss the old gameplay from GRAW2. I love shooters that let you choose the tactics like Operation Flashpoint too. Since Tom Clancy sold the name it's not the same anymore.

Purpledust 17 pts

is there a way to play the campaign solo - 1 ghost only - no AI teamates ?

NeoMorph1 5 pts

 Purpledust No unfortunately. In a few cases you need to do 4 way sync shots and other sections need a 4 way diamond extraction of a high value target.

_distemper 5 pts

Does anyone know how this game is on PC?  I've been hearing rave reviews about it on console and it looks great as well, but we all know how PC ports can be a little iffy sometimes nowadays.

ttttkk 5 pts

 _distemper pc version not yet released.

_distemper 5 pts

 ttttkk Well, yeah, that's why I asked in the first place.  If it was released, I'd just look for a review or a gameplay video.

pvtluca 5 pts

 _distemper

 supposedly enhanced for pc - graphics and sound.

Kickable 23 pts

 _distemper so are you asking us to guess?

danieleakes 5 pts

 _distemper  there is actually only a beta for ghost recon online. Im pretty sure its closed and will not be a port

ekhtiarzadeh 6 pts

i'm playin' it and its so fuckin' fun

this is the type of stealth that you really have to think about it

about how to kill 15 peaople one by one... or all at once!

lpsyco666 16 pts

ekhtiarzadeh

and you feel tension?!

i hope you feel:)i like tension in a game.do you have time to complete a mission or is free?!

or complete missions with time we want?!

NeoMorph1 5 pts

 lpsyco666 There is no tension (other than anger) in this game. The last mission will have you throwing the controller because it decides when the enemy gets away (it's a chase).

 

Even MW3 is better than this for tactics.

pvtluca 5 pts

 NeoMorph1

Stop trollin NeoMorph - go play MW3 if you love it so much. 

nyran125 84 pts

the original ghost recon got a 9.0 and deservedly so, it would still get a 9.0 today. Games are so bla now. The original game made the player feel like they were truly going into a battle situation.

NeoMorph1 5 pts

 nyran125 Damned right! Personally I would give this game a 4 because whoever wrote the campaign tactics must have got his 4 year old son to write them.

superrichcard4 8 pts

waiting for pc version......do u know when will pc version arrive ????

filben 5 pts

 superrichcard4 in europe it is 14th of june I think

firebreather101 5 pts

Also because of the difference it has with most big games these days, it looks like its very well detailed.

NeoMorph1 5 pts

 firebreather101 Has to be sarcasm... has to be. Look at MW3, then look at GFRF. I call the Ghost team "The Spongebobs" because they all have square heads lol.

firebreather101 5 pts

I hope poeple know what I mean when I say this but I havent played this game yet and Im looking to try it because this game looks like a mix between COD Halo and GOW - Gears of War.

 

Just wondering if anybody would recommed this game to me...

mrppower 6 pts

I would say this game got underrated so hard. 7.5 Really, I'm playing right now and I see nothing but perfect crisp game play, mixed with so many new elements. This game is better than graw in every way, and they got a 9.0 and a 8.8. Gamespot you kinda suck now...

 

NeoMorph1 5 pts

 mrppower Personally I would say the game is OVERRATED. Perhaps it's because I have seen so many faults in the maps, glitches in the game engine, and just total lack of anything resolving real tactics that were in GRAW 1 and 2. Crazy decisions and really weird campaign that doesn't explain what is going on half the time (why was Kozak dropping from orbit lol).

bildevo 6 pts

Guys, not every company is blizzard.

oflow 53 pts

 bildevo thank goodness they've been failing lately.

emperiox 71 pts

 bildevo It's sad that Jagex > Blizzard. Blizzard-activision sucks so hard atm.

bloody_roar_fan 15 pts

 c0kemusheen  Calling everyone foolish when u say something like " Are you people really trying to say that Ubisoft failed to bribe ALL of these sites, hence the lower scores?!?! My God the foolishness of some people..."

When u are even MORE foolish because no one bribes no one! At least with real cash dumba$$!

The way a company bribes is by puting a large amount of publicity in these sites!

And for all that I can remember I havent seen a big publicity in here! So the only Fools are YOU and the people who liked your comment!!!

c0kemusheen 62 pts

 bloody_roar_fan Obviously you need to re-read my comment. It was in reference to previous comments about people saying "Ubisoft didn't bribe Gamestop which is why the score is so low". This is why I listed off multiple websites with the same score and proceeded to ask "do you think Ubi failed to bribe all of these sites?" Make sense now? Not trying to be rude but it's quite simple...

bloody_roar_fan 15 pts

 c0kemusheenOk.. thanks for clarifying that

 
emperiox 71 pts

 bloody_roar_fan Oh really? So Bioware employee Chris Hogen wasn't paid to boost the Metacritic scores for Dragon Age 2?

 
blastmaster2k2 11 pts

The PC version should have better graphics, thus should get an updated higher score. Gamespot probably won't even review the PC version though. smh

Jim60360 16 pts

Oh, and as far as Cod goes, I'm no cod fan, in fact I haven't even played MW3 'cus I'm just sick of the same old thing. But I can tell you this, Call of duty is far more polished than this game, if you play it then I'm sure you'll agree. 

oflow 53 pts

 Jim60360 not really. its apples and oranges FPS & TPS that done play anything alike the onyl thing thats similar are they are modern warfare games.

Jim60360 16 pts

 oflow I agree. I only mention it because people are comparing the scores. I'm just saying, as far as presentation is concerned CoD is far more superior.  

Jim60360 16 pts

Been playing this all day and I have to agree with you, Chris. The game-play is a lot of fun, especially when playing with friends. The graphics, however, are incredibly dated. There's really nothing in this game that looks good. The campaign is loads of fun and the multiplayer is pretty cool but gives nothing I haven't seen before. The Kinect features are great but much like any other Kinect game or the Wii, when you've tried it once you don't really need to try it again. All in all, a solid 7.5.

another_drew 19 pts

For all of you out there hating because you don't agree with this guys review, I've found something that tends to work for my own personal use. Just take this guy's opinion and think the opposite. He say's this games ok I say great, he says MW3 is great I say ok (at best). I really don't even pay attention to anything most of GS' reviewers say anyways. I come for the user reviews. A lot more reliable. Sorry Mr. Watters, but I can't take anyone who says that CoD is "the best in the business" seriously.

burnettaj 21 pts

Picked up the game today. Will be playing later on, popping melons ha!

kuda001 20 pts

I am an R6 man but I will give this one a try.

R1S3Y 5 pts

Game so far seems canny, but there's no excuse for graphics that bad , this game + bf3 graphics would be class but GRFS graphics makes my eyes vomit
