Official Ghost Recon: Future Soldier Thread

[XReflection]

Put all the stuff related to this game in here!

I'll add some links to trailers in the wiki. Feel free to edit and add more news articles you find.


I hope this isn't a repost :(

[wikipost]

Wiki info is not representative of the final game. Game was overhauled in 2011.
"It was at this moment where we thought that we're too sci-fi - we had some good input from Special Forces who told us what really is their job. It was the right moment to change. We didn't change the engine, we didn't change a lot of stuff - but we changed the design, the visuals and the mission system."

● The story starts ~15 years after GRAW2 and as the Ghost's commando (Kozak) you'll lead a sniper (Pepper), a reconnaissance expert (30K), and an engineer (Bones) against an ultra-nationalist force that took control of Russia and invading neighboring countries (Norway, Asia, Middle East).

http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/9595/007tt.jpg
● Controversial lack of squad commands, instead uses a 'Link-Up' button to tether (up to 4) in a tight radius. 1 player "pilots", others just control their camera while their character dynamically navigates environment. This is encouraged by "buffs" where players share their abilities (ex: share/increase optical camo. ability).
● Faster movement explained by exo-skeleton. Allows for rolls, sliding tackles, and melee Israeli krav maga/Russian systema.
http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/9306/001tcwu.jpg
● 4 classes with exclusive abilities, but all able to revive each other (last stand mechanic):
○ "Recon" has thermo-optic camo. that turns off when you shoot.
○ "Engineer" controls drones and has sound/emp emitters.
○ "Sniper" has sensors like audio detectors and heartbeat monitors to locate targets and share intel in Cross Com.
○ "Commando" has a shoulder-mounted mortar launcher and a modular assault rifle outfitted with: bayonet hook, scope, grenade launcher (or shotgun).

If you're talking about release date, take a look at the GOW3 thread :P.

I more started it because stuff is slowly starting to come out about it in terms of trailers and news. *shrugs*

[homer2324]

Screw Ubisoft and its DRM policy.

[Decipi55]

I never played the other ghost recons, did play rainbow six vegas though. How do these compare, if they do at all?

[Nikzilla90]

Thanks for making the official thread, revised the Wiki if you didn't mind. Will polish tomorrow.

I knew once that new Assassins Creed: Revelations for 2011 was announced that this was going to get delayed just like last year with A.C.: Brotherhood...

[Nikzilla90]

More info. today for those of us who care (updated in the Wiki).

The new box art has me scared. The guy on the front doesn't look as badass as the one before, he looks more like Captain Mitchell from G.R.A.W. (he isn't)...

http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/9219/boxart002.jpg

Kinect would be good for hand signals, but last I heard, they dropped squad commands in favor of the tether button. The fidelity better not of dropped due to Kinect or I'll be pissed.

[ssjmichael]

Man, and I thought the PS3's Move cover advertising was obnoxious.

[SAIY0]

Man I pre-ordered this last year over the 4th of July b/c Ubisoft was having a promo and I was able to pre-order for $40. It's looking really promising now, I'm curious to see if the kinect works as well as they are saying it will.

Well... they just killed my excitement with these new Ghost designs. Just not as cool as last year.

Exposed skin is uncloakable...

Something is way off on the lighting too compared to last year, just not as pretty with muddy textures.

Wow, holy old original official thread! :woot: search button!

just got my beta keys. 3 for the Xbox 360 if any one else is interested. The email also says you get in with just having the Splinter Cell Conviction disc.

[brendo927]

So I finally got a beta key for

The Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Future Soldier™ Closed Beta is live! As a thank you for purchasing Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Conviction®, we have given you access to the Closed Beta, which will run from April 19 to May 2.

Problem is I sold my game a long time ago. It says I need the disk to play the beta. Am I SOL?

if only someone had JUST bumped the Official thread this morning...I wouldn't have had to have your post merged, haha

You didn't get 3 other codes to share with your friends? In the bottom of that email I got those codes...my assumption was that if you didn't have the disc anymore you could just use one of those codes for yourself.

PM sent.

I have one left, but wanted to make sure I could get in with the disc before I gave it out. I'll try tonight (hopefully) to see if it will all boot up for me, and if it does boot from the disc I'll send the last code over to you.

[brendo927]

PM me I got two codes to give away.

[godfather927]

PM sent.



Thanks man!

[ASeven721]

All set. I have one left.


Thanks Brendo, gonna set this to download soon.

[MasterHoots]

Does anyone have an extra BETA key for me? I really want to play for 360

[DiarrheaRobusto]

So how is it?

[godfather927]

[desrtrnnr]

[DiarrheaRobusto]

If its for 360 id take it

[appleyum]

If its for 360 id take it
There's only 360 beta :sadwalk:

[brendo927]

I got one code left PM me. I will only give it to someone that has higher than a 10 rep though.

[cheap_ass_dude]

I kinda like the beta. It's a nice change of pace from the Call of Duty and Battlefield gameplay...

I hope they keep the coop missions like they had in all of the other Ghost Recons.

Also, I have a bunch of beta codes for 360 and about 3 for PS3 if you'd like 1 Pm me.

[SkeezaPleez]

Played for about a half hour by my lonesome last night. I felt like the team we were playing against already knew the game inside and out. I still didn't figure out how to throw a frag. The game play seems fun and I like the separate objective based combat, surprisingly.

[DiarrheaRobusto]

There's only 360 beta :sadwalk:

Its also out on PS3

i'm sure he is back somewhere

[Nikzilla90]

FYI the campaign is totally different than what's shown in the current Wiki (from E3 2010) - can't be arsed to change everything since I hate the overhauled game.

"It was at this moment where we thought that we're too sci-fi - we had some good input from Special Forces who told us what really is their job. It was the right moment to change. We didn't change the engine, we didn't change a lot of stuff - but we changed the design, the visuals and the mission system."

This game is awful. It's like a homeless man's online third person shooter.

I like the game a lot.. The servers are pretty bad, but I saw some note about maintenance going on yesterday.

What do you like about the game? The graphics are terrible, movement and cover system is clunky, and the action is boring.

Socom 4 does everything this game is trying to do better.

I've never played a SOCOM game so I don't know what it's like.

I think the graphics are pretty good, but I'm not really picky to be honest. It took a couple games to get used to moving while in cover, but I got used to it and no longer have a problem with it.

Maybe I'm just really excited that I don't have to play COD anymore....

If you enjoyed any aspect of this beta then you will be blown away by Socom 4.

[cheap_ass_dude]

So you don't like it...when did one persons opinion become a fact?

If you're familiar with the Ghost Recon franchise, then you won't be dissapointed. The game doesn't play like Battlefield or Call of Duty, that doesn't make it a bad game.

PS. get over yourself.

Socom 4 was such a good game....what happened to the guys that made it? Oh yeah....

[Curtieson]

Finally got on to play it last night. Nice looking game, but it is just a $60 sequel to Blacklight: Tango Down. I forgot this was the game with the Kinect enable gun working area, that was pretty sweet in the demo (but don't think it's in the Beta)...but it feels clumsy to me.

So many people would just sit with some crazy scope and snipe you, the replays were never ever close...it NEVER looked like they could see me yet I would die of a head shot. Currently I think there is just too much disparage between the starting guns and what you can earn later.

The whole squad setup felt awkward too, I couldn't find a way to swap squads for when I was stuck with only 1 other guy.

I LOVE the point to point running between cover though,great feature! I think the game would be a ton more fun to play with a good crew, or just some people that ran in a clan...but currently it is very hard to understand the objectives I felt...

[brendo927]

Depending on the reviews I'd probably wait for a price drop. I also thought the controls were clunky. Max Payne 3, Diablo 3<Ghost Recon

I just wanted to give a heads up this was leaked online.

[Nikzilla90]

I'm just glad this is out before E3 so there's hope they spill the beans on another Tom Clancy game at the Ubisoft Conference (Rainbow Six Patriots and/or Splinter Cell 6).

Crazy how it went from the best looking game I ever saw in 2010 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hhq7-wo11h4) to a real muddy and generic shooter now (game was overhauled in 2011).

[ant0n]

I just wanted to give a heads up this was leaked online.
Nice... gonna try it.

[Nikzilla90]

Watching an online playthough of the first 5 or 6 missions and man, the faces barely look better than those from last-gen Xbox. Also the CO's voice (Steven Blum) really highlight's the game's [lack of] identity. Very, very linear missions with weak set-pieces (blowing up cars and hostage escorts).

And the story is a far cry from a Russian expansion invasion in the original 2010 concept - here you're just tracking a dirty bomb's origin from dealer to seller to dealer to seller which mean's the game's a cakewalk since the enemy won't have any tech to go toe-to-toe (amplified by 3 teammates).

[Jedi5]

Anyone get this game yet? Any reviews or thoughts to share?
Wanna go out and get it but I'm hesitant that it is going to be another MW3.

[brendo927]

As far as I've seen from reviews its not even close to MW3 as far as gameplay.

[Nikzilla90]

The cutscenes and dialogues are one of the most cringe-worthy things I've ever seen/heard this gen.

[UMN_Gophers]

How's the multiplayer been? The beta MP gameplay was fun, but the servers made it almost unplayable.

Did they fix it?

My buddy just bought Ghost Recon. He said he played for about 30 minutes before he put the game away to return it. Said it was a horrible game. He compared it to MoH and GoW. I've never played those games so I have no idea how those comparisons work.

From how he described the game, it sounded like Socom Confrontation with the 3rd person view.

I'd have to agree, I rented from red box and there is no way I would buy it
