Top 5 Updates that would make this game great | Forums

• Make the Gadget Wheel bigger
  It is frustrating to no end that I have to CONSTANTLY go to the menu to switch my gadgets because I'm only allowed to have 2 at a time. The gadget wheel should have at least 10 slots and each slot should NOT be locked to a certain item type, let me put whatever I want in each slot. I hate getting caught, then having to go into these menus with a pointer that was clearly designed for PC and not console, SLOWLY move the pointer the slot, then SLOWLY move over to the gadget I want, then do it again for the other gadget, all the while I'm getting shot at (assuming I'm playing online with a friend). If I get killed from doing this, it doesn't feel like it's my fault that I died, this is such a far cry from Splinter Cell Blacklist where you had 8 gadget slots in your wheel and each one was y'know, an actual gadget? Not a syringe or some bandages.
• Have AI teammates join you when playing coop
  Why can't me and my buddy play together with 2 AI teammates? Why couldn't we in Wildlands? This is again a far cry from Ghost Recon: Future Soldier that would give you 2 AI guys if you only had 1 friend with you, or 1 AI guy if you had 2 friends. Hell, this is even a far cry from friggen Rainbow Six: Vegas 2! Remember in that game you had 2 AI guys with you, but if your friend joined they stayed around and you were still able to give them orders? That game came out in 2008!
• Fix the cover system
  This one may be a little hard to explain using only text but I'll try my best. In other stealth games like MGS5 or even Ubisoft's own Splinter Cell Blacklist, when you take cover you feel comfortably locked into the cover. This game's cover system allows you to move past the end of the cover, but technically you are still "in cover", resulting in you getting caught A LOT. No other stealth game I have ever played (except for Ghost Recon: Wildlands obviously) does this, Metal Gear Solid doesn't do this, Splinter Cell Blacklist doesn't do this, and Ghost Recon: Future Soldier didn't do this. And the reason that they don't do this is because its infuriating.
• Cover takedowns
  Where are the cover takedowns? Why can't I drag a guy over cover to do a takedown? Why can't I do corner takedowns? I would list other games that have these features but you already likely know which ones I'm going to say.
• Make the takedown animations shorter
  Why does it take 8 years to melee kill someone in this game? I will admit the animations look freaking sick, but they take WAY too long and sometimes don't even make any sense with how long they take. For example, if you stealth kill a guy from behind with a karambit, it actually takes longer than it would if you stealth kill him from the front! I think I would be ok with these longer animations playing out when you are already in a firefight, but from stealth, they should only be like 3 seconds tops.(The same thing applies to the grab animations, it takes actual eons to grab someone in this game, and even when you do you don't seem to take less damage than if you didn't have a human shield so what's the point?)
• BONUS #6
  Ability to play offline, but I kind of put this here as a joke because they already said they can't do this.
