Platform XBox One

Played the Beta for about 12 hours. So hereīs my Impression.

Graphics are good, better than expected. The character and all the other models like and vehicles look very detailed. The
landscape is really pretty with a good drawing distance. The weather effects look awesome at night especially the thunderstorms.

But the animations... they are aweful. I hope they will be polished a lot till release. When you go from standing up to prone itīs
so clunky. The melee animation is slow and feels absoluty powerless. I found some cows at night and they just jumped up from a prone
position, as if there was a giant spring underneath them.

The sound is also good overall. Ambient sounds, weapon sounds all fine. Some of the vehicles sound so weak and to polished. For
example thereīs a old motorbike that sounds like a vacuum cleaner. I bet if someone would find a 30 year old motorbike in the
bolivian forest it would be loud as ****. So Iīd like to see that changed.
The voice acting is mediocre at best, at least in german. Also the three lines your character repeats every time you spot/mark an
enemy is so annoying.
Oh, and the explosion sounds were way to low from volume.


The map feels kinda empty. There were just a handful of outposts and the random encounters were nothing to talk about. Like two
enemys standing in the middle of nowhere for no reason? I collected every skil point, intel and weapon attachment, but thatīs it.
The ressources were plenty enough as you find them at almost every corner and donīt forget the redoable sidemissions which gives
you a huge amount of ressources. So youīd probably never run short.

Then weīve got the gameplay. At first I was getting used to the controls and mechanics in the game, which didnīt take too long.
So thatīs good. I was running around solo a bit then a buddy of my friendslist joined me. We finished all the missions and also the
sidemissions in about four hours. And we had no trouble at all, even on the highest difficulty.
The next day I tried the same thing while playing solo again. It was even easier. The AI is so so damn stupid. You can shoot an
enemy and his buddy 5m besides doesnīt care. Sometimes they do, but even then itīs way to easy to kill them. I know this was just
an easy part of the whole map, but I really hope the game getīs challenging at some point. And not just by throwing tons of enemys
at you.
Your AI buddys are only good for sync shots and reviving you. They couldnīt even keep up with me when I was running through the map.
Also need a lot of time to get in vehicle. Yes, I could just drive away and they respawn in my car, but this also breaks the
immersion.

Now here are some quick notes
- weapon switching should only be available at weapon boxes or in a home base
- no full regaining health, at least in Ghost difficulty
- dead bodies shouldnīt despawn, make them at least permanent and maybe moveable
- the collision is bad too. One time I was proning on a stone at a 60 degree angle or standing in the air
- Helicopter controls just suck, motobrbike too


If I remind some other things I might add something here and there
