Why I brought Breakpoint
Im the first person to write about why i wouldn't buy breakpoint. I did that in closed beat after doing that in the second OTT. The first OTT was fantastic. But as long as ubi continue to promote ai and gameplay that is tactical i don't see why a true Ghost wouldn't want in.
I don't like the level system or collecting crap that i have to then delete. Looting is a pain in the Division and i don't play it for that. I play division for the team play in the DZ. That is great and has place, but I dislike chasing the meta. If breakpoint goes that why it trashed and will be the first to refuse to buy anyother ubi game.
For its merits, Beta open reduced the level system to be something that didn't matter anymore, just as it was with the first OTT. Then the AI was change to be tactical. This is better now than wildlands. I can act as a sniper should. Its brilliant and its clear to me that someone with the experience of sniping has designed the environment. Breakpoint has slaughter holes. I can sit completely out of sight and take down what ever comes. The ai has no idea what is happening and it shouldn't. Wildlands doesn't do that. The original Ghost recon did. Thankfully Ubi seems to be listening and has made Breakpoint something like it. Breakpoint could be anything.
Im not interesting in robots or the terminator turning up. that is not Ghost recon as far as im concerned and its does little to take wildlands forward to include the terminator imo. Raids meh, I've had enough of those in Division 2. Perhaps it will be different, have to see.
The open beta for me has been a snipers dream. I hit with head shots btw so the sponge effect has not fulled me with fury as it has with others. Sponge effect is Ubis way to balancing.
the story seems good. helping a hunter was a great way to explore some of the environment. The missions are all to easy at the mo but quality of experience is high. To push ubi for higher difficulty for probably mess things up.
I hope to find other players to play a sniper recon style of play. There is potential to this game. As long as ubi continue to promote ai and gameplay that is tactical i don't see why a true Ghost wouldn't want in.
