Quick Look: Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier Multiplayer Beta

Shoot some dudes!

Tom Calancy

They need real ghosts in these games.

You were actually dead the whole time!!!

Played for a bit...didn't really enjoy it that much. I feel that GRAW was better.

Finally I can cash in my Splinter Cell Conviction beta key..right guys, RIGHT?

original R6 was the best of the Clancy games

Yup.

Something about this animation doesn't look good... But other than that, it looks like a shooter. It doesn't look "terrible"

Go Team Bodark!

I find it hard to enjoy third person Ghost Recon games, especially now they have cover systems. It ruined how tactical the games once were, Ghost Recon 2 devolved into people using the camera angle to see around corners, it just didn't go well in a game that was somewhat "hardcore".

Fond memories of playing clan matches on Ghost Recon and Island Thunder. Our team won some 50 team league and we all got free copies of Ghost Recon 2 when it came out, unfortunately that was the one that introduced third person.

Edit: Oh I'm just talking about the multiplayer, I didn't mind third person at all in the campaigns.

I enjoyed the GRAW games quite a bit, this don't look so good though. 

is it just me or are the lobby and game summary screens hideous?

Ryan barely touched on the multiplayer I hope it goes more in-depth into it in the full quick look.

Looks kinda slow, but I do dig the shotgun/motion mine combo.

A future full of Soldiers??! never heard of it

As always, the colour pallet of the future is comprised of dull greens, browns and greys.

What colour should a wooded area be? Perhaps the army dudes should wear Hypercolor uniforms.

The dull colour complaint is old even when its applied reasonably, but if you're going to criticize a game trying to evoke a realistic seeming modern military scenario, you are just blowing smoke for the sake of making a fashionable complaint.

If this was Brad playing everyone would be giving him shit about dying, perspective people

I'm sure that when the forests of the future turn fuchsia and mauve soldiers' camouflage will change to match.

Nope.

I was hoping this was going to be the kinect version.

Click the right stick in and you get ironsights on any gun. Also, if you just hold A when coming out of cover you'll run directly to the cover you're highlighting with that big arrow.

GRAW blew me away back when I first got my 360. It made me a huge fan of the series. I played GRAW 2 online for a long time and loved it. Even still, I'm not sure about this one. I really wanna like it but the beta left me a little skeptical.

You know I had zero confidence in this game, but what they're showing here? Doesn't look all that shitty to be honest.

Team Ghost vs Team Witcher

The gunsmith stuff is/was in the beta. Exploded weapons galore.

sure looks like a third person cover based tactical shooter.

It's not the best looking game ever but I like the visual style and the slow pace.

Ah I'm not that bothered by the colour scheme (thanks for not replying with an essay), it just gets a little bit tiresome seeing the same environments over and over in modern shooters.

Second that. Terrorist Hunt was sick.

That basically sums it up.

A GB guy's playing a middle-of-the-run, jack of all traits class? SHOCKER!

Hahaha exactly what I was thinking.

Note to Ryan: You can go into first person, down the sights view by clicking R3 whilst aiming.

To think the beta invite came witha copy of splinter cell I hope the best for this game.

I honestly can't see the point of calling this game "Future Soldier", as the "future" tech and aesthetic is limited at best. And I don't even mean that they should have made the game look like Syndicate or Perfect Dark or something crazy like that. I want it grounded in reality; it's a Ghost Recon game. But this looks like it could be taking place five, ten years (at most) from now, and with that being the case they might as well have just called it GRAW3. The original vision for this game as presented in that first, live-action trailer had me much more intrigued than what this game has ended up becoming. As it stands, it just comes off as a mediocre followup to the GRAW series before it.

Not super interested in this game, but the three times I fast-forwarded to find actual gameplay, it happened to land on when they were in a menu. For a second, I thought this entire QL was them showing off the menus.

"When are they going to get to the fireworks factory?! ::Sobs::"

I've really enjoyed this beta. Definitely going to buy for the multilayer alone.

Ryan, you skimmed over the totally awesome exploding gun menu and all the attachments. Also you can go into first person mode by clicking the right thumb stick. <3

No, he's right. It's not Rayman Origins.

Jeez, I was merely stating my boredom with every modern shooter looking the same. If you guys want to engage with someone this much, try hanging out with your friends.

Ghost is a Reccie in the Future? As a soldier? Reccie Soldier?

It looks totally competent.

You get annoyed and defensive rather than discuss the topic. Why even bother posting your thoughts in public?

This. Posting here is done for the express purpose of 'wanting to engage with someone this much'. Don't want people commenting on your opinions, don't post.

Why should we have to read something if you're unwilling to debate it any further? What makes your opinion so much more important that that of anyone else?

To me it looks like a competent shooter with a bunch of nice ideas. I'm not into shooters so what do I know?

You guys do remember this is a beta,right?
