Selecting targets and when to fire is one of the most fun and most rewarding gameplay aspects - and if players do it right, they can progress through a lot of the game like a true Ghost, entirely unseen. The sync shot system lets players tag enemies simply by pointing at them, or by scouting with a drone, which then show up in the Cross Com display and players can initiate the shoot order, slowing down time for everyone involved to perform their kill. Not many shooter titles can do co-op quite like Ubisoft with Ghost Recon and Future Soldier delivers, building in even more features to keep team play dynamic. Again, nothing that really detracts from the success of the experience.įor the most part, Future Soldier is one of the most polished and stylistic Ghost Recon titles to date and, like the last three installments, absolutely delivers on the co-op front. In the later missions, when Future Soldier eases up on the strict linearity and players begin mastering the tech, the campaign really shines and players will be able to overlook the nitpicks which include odd animations and friendly AI hiccups, to an inventory system which gives sidearms the equal weight of rifles, but provides players a sidearm anyway during aforementioned on-rails moments and cutscenes. Players will experience sand storms, blizzards, rain and nifty lighting effects in day/night missions out in the wilderness and in detailed urban downtown areas - all having an effect on gameplay which heavily relies on the Ghosts remaining hidden. Travelling through enemy-occupied areas in Africa, Russia, the Artic and other international locations, the game's locales bring more environmental variety than any other series installment. Ghost Recon: Future Soldier moves the series even further into the near future than the Advanced Warfighter games did previously, again putting players in the shoes of four 'Ghosts,' the special ops of special ops who do the missions nobody knows about and are equipped with the Army's best tech.
