Ghost Recon: Wildlands

I'm getting a far cry 4 vibe which is a good thing. Coop is hella fun. Game runs and plays great on my i3 7870 using high settings with a steady 30fps. Probably me but the graphic wasnt that great on very high settings. I thought far cry 4 looks better. Not a day 1 purchase but will get it once it's like half off just because I really like the coop.
My and my buddy REALLY enjoyed this. Being free to go anywhere was very cool. Gun Smith was awesome again. I liked the full day and night cycle. The driving is a little wonky, but it's livable. The character customization is pretty in depth and they have a lot cool stuff. My buddy and I only played for a few hours, but already have some cool stories.
This was a wait and see prior to this beta, but know it's a must have.

Too bad they couldn't make these betas last a little longer. Only had a chance to play it Friday night and not sure I'll get to it tonight either.
Looked okay I guess. I watched some vids and it was guys going from area to area in a jeep clearing out encampments. After one is done, they'd get a mission briefing to go to another part of the map and do the same thing.
- Get mission briefing
- Get close to location
- Do overhead drone marking
- Clear out camp
- Mission complete
Repeat.
I don't know, maybe there's more to it than that. One thing the game has is good looking environments and big scope.

There's definitely more to it than that. We had a mission were we had to take out a convo, another mission were we had to take out two radio towers 60 seconds apart from each other, a rescue mission, and a helicopter hi-jacking.
Ahhh. That sounds better. I guess the beta clips I saw so happened to show gamers doing similar kinds of "clear the camp" tasks where they'd drive there by jeep along narrow dusty trails.
I got some game time in with Hazard71 and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Though Hazard didn't have his MIC ON....silly little bitch 
. But I haven't played a good co-op game with a good gamer in ages, so it was refreshing to play it with him, as short as the time was.
Oh, and did you like my driving down that hill? ROFL!

Yes it was very fun and your driving had me laughing my ass off. Sorry I didn't have a mic was hoping I could at least issues commands suggestions without one but didn't see a option.I got some game time in with Hazard71 and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Question for you Beta players...in the offline mode, can you go solo, i.e. play alone without the stupid AI teammates? Or, can you at least play by yourself, or with one other person, in the online coop mode, or are you forced to be with a 4 man team? Hopefully there's a way to not be rounded out with AI teammates. (If any of you remember the pitiful AI squadmates in Operation Flashpoint 2, they pretty much ruined the game for me. Well, one of several things that ruined that game for me 
)
)Yeah the sync shot is about the only good thing they can do. That's easily my biggest disappointment with the game... the lack of any orders or formation options with your squad.

I don't think so. i think if you play solo you just have the tree AI team members. They are much better than the AI in OpFlash but still pretty bad.
Yeah, especially when there are specific incidences where you need to storm buildings. There should at least be simple stack and clear commands.
Honestly, I'd pass if I didn't have someone to play it with. It's also much, much better if you commit to playing stealth. The enemy ai is easy to exploit in a firefight/seaching stance.
I had great fun with my brother syncing up attacks and recon, but solo feels like every other open world game with throw away characters. I just found myself rushing to the next icon.
Stealth and co-op are this games strong points.
Try the open beta so. I played with it using a good amount of strategy and planning but you don't have to. Also play it on Elite or Ghost difficulty to make it that more unforgiving. The team AI is terrible though. All they can do is take Sync Shots with you. It's much much better when played in coop.
Ghost Recon is just a brand for this game. It's not really like the old ghost recon games at all. It has elements of Terrorist Hunt in but thats about it.
I do not mind old school shooters moving in new directions if done right. I still need to get around to Rainbow Six Siege. Another old shooter I loved and I've heard good things about the new game's MP.
Agreed. This game is the definition of a co-op game. The teammate AI is just too terrible. Especially at the higher difficulties.
They should have just named this game Wildlands and left out the Ghost Recon game. Just make it entirely about the war on drugs and taking on cartels. Leave Ghost Recon to true tactical, stealth combat. And of course Russia being the enemy. *goes and plays original GR*
If you play solo, are the teammate AI mandatory? Or can you so a mission totally solo? If not, can you at least command the AI to stay put?
If the AI is as terrible as you guys say and they are mandatory in some fashion, it sounds like it's be frustrating to play. Like any game with friendly AI, the first thing I think of is.... "ah shyt, AI helpers, looks like it'll be an escort mission to save their asses, while I do all the work"

They aren't really frustrating, they are just useless save for Sync Shot and reviving you. And yes, they are mandatory if you play solo.
Preloaded the open beta. Gonna give this a go and then decide between either this or year 2 of Siege.
