    I'll pass

    I'm not going to knock this game too hard. Though I am going to state that I just don't like it. I do like FPS games, I really do. In fact I'm currently playing Battlefield 3 nightly.

    Here's the thing, I was offered Beta testing for this game prior release. I was not really a fan of character movement & in general game play. I think if you are going to play a FPS game, choose your side of either MW3 or BF3.

    I know it might sound generic to some to just suggest the 2 most popular FPS games at the moment but, Ghost Recon Future Soldier for me was not anything special.

    One example of dislike towards the game play was the shooting range. If you zeroed in on the target farthest from you. & Hit it dead on, then while never moving the controls, Unzoom your sights, pull the trigger, you miss.

    Think about it, I'm not saying the game should give you lucky shots from hip fire accuracy. I'm saying the game's interface should be realistic or at least be what you know from 1 second ago. How do you go from perfect dead on to missing the target because you zoomed out? If you did this in real life, & pulled the trigger -moved nothing else- you will hit the target.

    I also watched this on twitch.tv while fragdolls played this with the developer there answering questions.

    I just think it's a little too over hyped, & advertised too much with said female presence.

    Don't buy it just because girls happen to stream it.

    If you're going to buy this for simply being a Tom Clancy fan, or like the game play. Then yea, go for it.

    I personally think BF3 or MW3 has the character control/interface all worked out compared to this game.

    Not to be mean, & it might sound mean, I am just telling you the truth, if 6 months went by, & this was at gamestop for $5.99 I wouldn't buy it. That's how much interest I have in this game. The only reason it received such a star rating is because it has effort put into it, though, just not for me.

      Tom Clancy Ghost Recon games should be synonymous with the phrase “There is no I in team”, because that’s what the tactical squad, third person shooter series is all about: teamwork.

      Future So Bleak 0

      While I, personally, have never had a significant investment in the Ghost Recon franchise, there are many people that have. The earlier games in the franchise gained significant fame and love from critics and normal folk alike due to its unique and tense stealth action sequences. That praise arguably piqued with the release of Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter. Its name wasn’t the only thing was ridiculously long as so was the games lifespan. The engaging multiplayer and sheer beauty ...
