stop ruining ghost recon | Forums

That is a pretty clever video. The long stretches of absolutely nothing where the Ghosts were just wandering from fight to fight (as he mentions that dang staircase) opening doors, climbing over stuff, etc., served three purposes...
1.) Drag the game out so it felt longer.
2.) Allowed pointless and annoying exposition to be spouted between the Ghosts for "story" purposes.
3.) Gave them a reason to use those mo-cap'd SEAL animations.

Interesting that he mentions the COD connection with the VA but not the obvious "Hunter" and "Overlord" callsigns ripped straight from MW2; not to mention the near identical tourist-video-showing-a-WMD-attack-on-London cut scene between MW3 and FS. Ugh, even seeing video footage of Future Soldier just irritates me. FS was a god awful, derivative, me-too third person cover based shooter made for 2012 and only 2012...it's just so dated in nearly every freakin' way from its overuse of cliche modern military shooter conventions to its annoying dubstep-ish soundtrack.

OH CRAP! THE BODARK ARE ATTACKING! WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB! GO INTO A DIAMOND FORMATION TO PROTECT THE VIP WITH INFINITE AMMO WHILE WALKING OUT INTO THE OPEN AS A MILLION DUDES AND A HIND HELICOPTER SHOOT AT US!! WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB!

You see Future Soldier, Ubisoft? You see it? Yeah, don't do that ever again.

Another thing that his YouTube reminded me of was that in 2010 the game had, tethering, shoulder rockets and full on invisibility. The demo was due in Summer 2010, but I think by then Ubisoft realised the game had lost its way and there was a bad reaction from the fans.

Similarly to Wildlands, Future Soldier had been developed on the quiet, but then had to be rushed through a rehash to get it out. We can see that in the reduction of 8 players to 6 after the lobby layout was already set, the inability to search guerrilla lobbies and even perhaps the lack of customisation options in multiplayer lobbies which may have been a rushed decision rather than a deliberated one. It all struck me as a hurried development cycle not the 5 years worth it had. My suspicion is that FS had 2 years from the demo being pulled in order to carry out major surgery.

This time, the reception to Wildlands has been positive - tempered with the understandable hesitation and caution that a lot of fans have - and there doesn't need to be major direction shift to produce a Ghost Recon game. All the potential is there, and it should all be choices from now on, not rework.

ok Blue this is driving me nuts!!

I was okay with you guys taking away thermal it was Op and that's cool. I was okay for you guys taking away the Recon drones and the ability to see them once again okay. But when you put me in a Timeout for joining my friends game for 3 hours you just lost a customer.
