Future Soldier Gorilla Mode? OK, I'm In.

Oh... "guerrilla mode?" Well... uh... oh, wow, look at the time. I... really should get out of here. Thanks for... showing me this trailer though?

I don't know; it totally looks fun, no matter what you call it. It's very obviously a variant of horde mode, but it still looks fun. Could we maybe stop using the word ripoff, people? Horde mode is popular and fun, so why are we chastising a developer for trying to include a variation of it?

Especially since Horde mode was just a ripoff of Quake's Invasion mode.

Exactly. Who wants to play the game of trying to trace the roots of a certain mode to figure out what's ripping off what? What the hell does that even accomplish?

I guess it's some kind of self-affirmation complex so Xbros can feel like they added something relevant to gaming besides fistbumps and making gaming the "new thing" for fratboys.

So when somebody tries to expand on something they consider "theirs" they have to piss all over it just to show how superior they are. I think that's kinda disgusting and just leads to people hampering innovation and creativity.

Because this looks cool enough and adds some gwar'ness to the whole thing by adding the stealth sections and score multipliers. Wish more games would actually do this instead of going the cheap route like ME3, because then we could finnaly get away from idiots going "Oh yeah it's horde mode from gears, gears did it better!!11"

Holy Toledo, this game is so freakin' slow. And this whole Guerilla Mode would be cool if you faced off against waves of human players, and whoever kills the leading team dethrones them and another team of four spawns, but this seems to be another generic Horde Mode. I'm gonna pass on this one.

I love how they try to make it sound more complicated than "Horde Mode" when it's just "Horde Mode".

Did they just take the story line out of Gantz and put in a first person shooter?

Whilst the trailer is marketing driven s**t, the game itself looks okay. I enjoyed GRAW and can't see any reason for me to dislike this despite the negativity.

What's the point of getting Special Forces advisers if you're just gonna make it a huge 4 on 100 one-squad-takes-on-the-world action game? Other than just to say you got Special Forces advisers.

The only reason you get Special Forces advisers is so you can make a trailer where you say "Yo, we got Special Forces advisers", and then idiots buy your game because they think "It got real Special Forces in it!" is some kind of defense against being called a fag.

I don't get it either. The graphics seem fine. It looks like the UI and gameplay isn't that far off from a Syndicate or Deus Ex Human Revolution; the only difference is the desert setting. Maybe Jeff has played it at events and it controls like total garbage?

The game looks sorta average, but I agree with you that I don't get why Jeff seems convinced it will be a throoughly bad game.

I had zero interest in this until I saw this video. This will be a day one purchase for me now. I know I'll play hours in this mode, just like I did with terrorist hunt in R6 Vegas. If the other modes are great then thats a bonus.

I'm concerned about this game and often when I'm concerned for a game after watching gameplay footage I'm nearly always right. Hope I'm wrong.

I'm down. I'm mostly all tapped out in terms of interest in military shooters, but this luckily looks to be taking it back into a tactical approach as opposed to run'n'gun. Plus, I really really loved Splinter Cell: Conviction, and while this isn't exactly the same game or exact genre, I have faith in Ubi.

Looks fine to me. I'm a fan of past ghost recons, so I'll try this. Having not played Gears 3 or the ME3 multiplayer, this might be something new for me.

Man, Ghost Recon, what happened to you? I remember when you were a fun tactical FPS. Then you get less tactical. Then you got slathered in neon. I don't even know who you are anymore.
