Instead, what we receive are more team-based and strategic offerings. The first thing that you’ll notice is that Future Solider forgoes any traditional deathmatch modes.

And although there are dramatic changes, some that series fans may not be happy with, I think that the overall feel Future Soldier gives off aligns pretty well with what militaty shooter fans have come accustomed to in this “post modern warfare” era. Like previous Ghost Recon titles, F uture Soldier’s main event is multiplayer. The reason that you’re probably reading this review to begin with. Okay, now it’s time for the real meat and potatoes here. It helps to add some extra tension to what would otherwise become a routine, stop and pop affair. One of the game’s best uses of the feature is when you’re thrown into a scenario where there are more enemies than what you can take down with a sync shot, then it’s your job figure out which pocket of enemies to take out and when. It’s an efficient way of approaching situations where there is no room for error but also provides for a unique way of approaching every single situation. It’s a mode of enemy engagement that allows you to plan out the kills for your team to take down a group of baddies in one fell swoop. One standout gameplay element that never gets old, especially because of the air drone, is Sync Shot.

The biggest standout by far being the unmanned air drone not because we haven’t seen it before but how Future Soldier incorporates it. The best part about it here is that since the game takes place in the not too distant future you get some cool toys at your disposal. The Ghost series was always known about bringing tactical gameplay to the forefront - it’s what has always set it apart from other titles in the past and luckily it returns once again in Future Soldier. But I digress, luckily no one will play Ghost Recon: Future Soldier for the story, right? With such a serious “missing warhead” storyline you would think that the game’s characters would help add weight to the situation, instead we’re left with dialogue and set pieces who seem more to get in the way than anything else. Normally wouldn’t have been a bad thing but it just feels a bit over done here. It’s to the point that, at times, it felt like a terrible Battlefield Bad Company impersonation.

During the gameplay, characters are professional and engaging, then through the game’s cutscenes they become total goofballs. While the game’s main story isn’t exactly the most engaging, it’s characters are what make it even less so. Your travels start out in South America and thanks to some sloppy gun runners and warlords, your journey will have you spanning the globe throughout various hot zones in Africa as well as Russia. Unfortunately, with all of that globetrotting and objective changes along the way, the campaign is - for the most part - somewhat forgettable. You’re a part of a Ghost team that is sent on a mission to recover a missing nuclear warhead. But does this experiment pay off?Īs par for the course military shooter campaigns go, Future Solider’s story doesn’t jump off the page with anything unexpected. With the new Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, RedStorm’s mission was to rid themselves of that high barrier of entry it’s known for and at the same time try to sustain their core fan base as well.

Ghost Recon was notoriously known to be among the most technical shooters on the market a dead man’s land for causals. Long before the video game world found itself consumed by warfare of the modern variety, it was the team at RedStorm and Ubisoft that helped to pave the way to bring services like Xbox Live to the forefront for console gamers.
