    Please don't make the same mistake I did, I played the beta and thought boy! there are some mistakes but it's a beta so probably they are gonna improve a lot...But nope, it' s the same. Same horrible AI, same boring missions over and over and bugs (a lot). I am so regretful, I bought the cheapest version but still, I fell like they rip me off... F U ubisoft.. F U

AI is dumb and bugged as hell - you dont need any skill at all even on Extreme difficulty. You dont even need any weapons except for single sidearms until you hit a grind wall in a form of extremely bullet-spongy drones that you must destroy from time to time to progress in story.

    Monetization should be mentioned separately - it is one of the worst pay-2-win even by the standard of free-2-play mobile game: you can literally by everything from start with enough real money including weapons, mods, vehicles, currency etc. This is a ridiculous example of play-2-not-play. No wonder devs did not care about filling open world with any meaningful activities - you are not meant to traverse whole world but instead meant to pay more money to skip intentionally boring lazily copy-pasted grind locations.

    Summary - you will lose nothing if you just skip this one, unless you are some kind of casual whale who dont mind spending a low of cash on a buggy mess just to complete it asap and move on to something more interesting and polished. This game may be worth checking again in 6-12 months when most bugs will be finally fixed and price will drop to 15-20 USD, but is no not really worth a cent more than that    … Expand

I'm not sure of whether or not they're truly looking for an authentic and realistic experience, especially given the added RPG elements and gear score, though that's another thing I don't mind too much honestly given that every gun is pretty much a 1 shot kill to the head, but weirdly it takes multiple shots if hitting center mass or shots to the thorax even with 5.56 and above caliber weapons.

    I really do enjoy realism, but, this game misses the mark entirely in a ton of aspects. The AI are terribly unaware even in the hardest difficulty, the "special operations soldier" you play as wears most of his gear like he's never actually worn any of it in a combat scenario (mags in pouches are facing the wrong direction, plate carriers are worn in a fashion that barely cover vitals, my M4A1 uses STANAG mags but I carry PMAGS, etc..) I could go on about that but I feel as though most people don't care about those things, or they're just unaware of it.

    I am enjoying most of the story but when I got to the part where I had to kill Walker I was extremely upset with how awfully set up the fight was. Abysmal even. The devs have completely raped Tom Clancy of anything he stood for. Not going to spoil how awful it was. But, **** realism.

    Anyways to keep my review more concise; the map is beautiful, the recycled features are a little better than Wildlands imo, if you don't want to give them more money don't buy anything, the 3rd person shooter bug kinda sucks balls, I hate this Division/GR baby they made, they should've remained separate games,

    I will admit that these baguettes did a 10/10 job at completely killing any and all reputation that the new Ghost Recon titles will ever have. You AAA developers and CEOs need to figure it the **** out or you're going to be running out of money in the near future.    … Expand

    Ghost Recon: Breakpoint I think is a downgrade from Ghost Recon: Wildlands if you can view it that way.

    Why is it a downgrade? For one, the "central hub" it has a lot of vibes from Destiny 2 where everyone can meet in this cave to sync up or connect with friends or randoms, buy and sell loot/gear, upgrade gear, get quests and missions and so much more.

The loot is now colorized. Ubisoft needed a way for you to show off your rare and legendary gear so they added colorized tiered items like what you find in The Division 2. Ubisoft literally mixed three games into one game somehow and it's ugly. In Wildlands you had the ability to control your AI partners to have them shoot in specific spots or sync shots, a core mechanic in Ghost Recon games. In this game, Unisoft removed AI partners, so that means they forced online co-op, if you don't like it too bad. Breakpoint turned into a microtransactions heaven, they had the decency to even put them in the Beta to "test the water." Wow

    Performance wise, it ran horrible on my Intel Core i5-6600 and 1070, but now with my 3900X, it runs smooth like cutting butter. Breakpoint just like Wildlands or Battlefield, it's very CPU heavy.

    At the moment, it's not worth $60 nor playing or downloading the Epic Games client for one game and it's not worth it trusting uPlay/Ubisoft with your payment method. You aren't missing out much if you don't play Breakpoint, go buy Wildlands on Steam when it goes on sale for $12 (which is regularly does). If you don't like Wildlands, buy The Division 2 on Steam. Thankfully I didn't spend the $60 on this game, my job did.

    "How deep can a massive publisher / developer sink?"

    I think this is what must've gone on through the heads of all employee's of Ubisoft, but shivering from fear of losing their jobs, they decided to not say a single word to management, or management simply choose to ignore feedback and criticism. Instead - Ubisoft brought the world the following: - A good looking game. - A game    "How deep can a massive publisher / developer sink?"

    I think this is what must've gone on through the heads of all employee's of Ubisoft, but shivering from fear of losing their jobs, they decided to not say a single word to management, or management simply choose to ignore feedback and criticism.

    Instead - Ubisoft brought the world the following:
    - A good looking game.
    - A game that's fun to play, with your friends, especially when you are drunk and you don't care about using tactics nor effort.

    But sadly, I think with those two points mentioned - that's all the positive I can say about this game, because wow! How did they manage to get this through quality-assurance / quality control, the game is:
    - Buggy
    - Tons of micro-transactions, all optional, it's not as if you have to buy it, but ... come on guys most of these add nothing new to the game compared to what you already paid for (you can literally pay money to unlock a weapon, that you can already get for free in game).
    - Boring & repetitive, as A.I. will simply spawn in the same position over and over again during defend objectives.
    - Cheaply "balanced" - as in, you have something called: "gear score" / levels of your equipment, if your score is too low - due to outdated gear - you'll do less damage a system similar to TC: The Division, and I wasn't too happy about that game either.

    On top of that, you can clearly notice where A.I. spawns, as you might've just checked a certain corner / bush - and then a couple seconds later: Bam - an enemy in a previously cleared sector, as someone who likes to play a bit tactical and challenging (as was possible in TC: Wildlands !) - this completely ruined my gameplay.

    And no - I didn't mind them not putting this game on Steam, but I do hate myself for not being able to refund this anymore as it was hardly worth the effort.

I find that the overall game design, gameplay loop and open world much better in the predecessor. A huge emphasis on the open world, because Breakpoint is afflicted with what I think is a boring and repetitive level design that made traversing and exploring easily one of the most exhausting and dull I've felt among the plethora of open world games I've played.

    I cannot say much about this game on launch, as I have heard the initial looter shooter design and predatory microtransaction was abhorrent, but the way I experienced it on a game configuration similar to Wildlands, along with free DLCs on the standard edition -- I'd say this game is okay in this regard.    … Expand

    Ubisoft yet again destroyes a game with good ideas by trying to pander the game to everyone. Listen, i bet it has been said a million times, but a good game that does a specific, targeted thing very good, is almost everytime better than a game which does everyting mediocre or in this case bad. The Open World looks good but is empty and shallow. Enemy have next to no AI. The Story has an interesting cocept but fails miserably at execution. Again, you could cut out like 70% of the map and make them concentrated, well made Levels. You are supposed to be "like a paratrooper behind enemy lines" right? You never feel like that, the only thing that a little bit resemble that, are these surveillance drones that spot you from high in the sky. Again, what were the thoughts behind that? You are alone (or in a team of 4) behind enemy lines, every step, every attack must be wisely chosen, keeping your ressources in mind. Are the risks worth it? But no you have a huge safezone in the mountain with free chopper right from the start with unlimited ressources.

    Atleast the keep updating the game, even though these updates really show that the developers (or who was responsible) didnt think things through. We know have a realism mode, were you can adjust the games difficulty , the hud and turn off weapon levels and some world stuff (like the drones). These are in generel great, especially the difficulty options so i can make the game like a Ghost Recon back in the day, where every shot is deadly and stealth is mandatory. Though as mentioned before this clashes hard with the game design at its core. So, for example, before i actually played the main story, i spend like 2 hours adjusting the difficulty options just right, and then i got into a story mission where you have to blow up some bomb drones with a chopper. Now you can of course land for all 5 objectives, each in different bases, kilometers appart, but the way the developers apparently wanted you to play the mission, was to take the npc with you in an attack chopper, and bomb them on the way. Now, you have made a "tactical" "realistic" "stealth" shooter, and decide to put in vehicles, choppers and planes, even though there is fast travel. How can you then f**ck up the helicopter controls so badly in your sequel? Helicopters are not only barebones, with no flares and you can only shoot ones and then wait for them to reload. Problem is, that they as well have put a WASD control fused together with a mouse fixed "look-to-steer" control, which results in aiming with the mouse being absolut horrible and trying to aim carefully and precisly with a helicopter is near impossible.

    And the end of the day, i can see the thoughts behind everything, but again i guess Ubisofts higher ups just dont care and scream "Ship it!", or the project leads are so blind to everything that they sincerely thought this would turn out good. To the people working in any Ubi dev team, im sincerely sorry. It must be hard, having to crunch for something you know will probably turn out mediocre at best, even though you put your heart into.

    Ok, here we go for a solid review, after roughly 40 hours on this game.

    Let's start with the good:
    - Jon Bernthal

    ... Yep, that's it. Let's be real for a moment; this game was supposed to be the follow-up for Wildlands. The previous opus had everything we could dream of: a massive open world quest, in a gorgeous reconstitution of Bolivia. Sure, there were some flaws, but still, the game was fun as hell.

    Now, we're in the south Pacific, on a remote lonely island. And even Farcry 3 did a better job at recreating such an atmosphere.

    Here, we've got nothing. The island is mostly empty, the game is boring as hell, the quest system is a mess, the AI is dumb as **** (We're fighting Ghosts, and a top-level AI, but it feels like we're facing your local paintball team and asthmatic roombas).

    But the main flaw, the one that ruins EVERYTHING, is that they removed the squad system. From the very start of the game, everything is set to make you fell like you're investigating, piece by piece, finding pieces of evidence to find bad guys, who will eventually lead you to the main bad guys. So far so good. But the villains are colorless, the scenario is bad, the dialogues are awful, the NPCs feel like robots. The only good thing is, again, Jon Bernthal playing Colonel Walker.

    I bought the game because it was 75% off, and I still feel let down.    … Expand

    With that being said - This game is like taking GR: Wildlands, the good stuff from The Division 2, and then merging the two games together. There are new Item Level mechanics, crafting systems, map, characters, guns. There are a lot of assets that were re-used from Wildlands in the form of gun models, textures, sounds, etc. but this doesn't bother me a ton because I thought they weren't in need of a massive re-do in this department anyway.

    The single biggest complaint with this game, and seems to be a recurring theme for Ubisoft developed titles, is that the menu navigation and design is G A R B A G E. Navigating through the mission objectives page, inventory menus, gunsmith, and just the menu in general is designed poorly. Too many keybinds change depending on what menu you're in, and just overall the clarity of the menus is awful. I'm not going to hold it against this game specifically too much though, because it seems to be a recurring theme with Ubisoft titles.

    IMO - If you enjoyed Wildlands, you will enjoy Breakpoint. If you didn't enjoy Wildlands, you aren't going to enjoy Breakpoint.    … Expand

It's an online virtual casino/ clothing/ armor/ weapon shop that no rational, actually thinking gamer ever wanted. You can literally get almot any virtual thing that is in game, even worse - it's pay to win, which means any weapon you buy for real world money to play in singleplayer, you can also use same weapon in PvP, so it's total pay to win. Of course you can also get most of stuff by playing the game, which is sh*t - grinding repetitive quests, daily missions, gathering resources, all the boring and monotonous stuff over and over again for hours. Basically, you have to "live" in this game to actually get items in it, you have to have no real life. Or of course you can buy some in-game credits for a real money, spend an extra let's say 300-500 euros/dollars and get some items, boosters etc in matter of seconds.

    So fellow gamers - be sure to put half of your hard worked monthly income into this f**king virtual shop, buy some boosters and some "time savers", support such piece of s**t companies like Ubisoft, to get even more incomplete products in the future.

    First, micro transaction. Yes, it is happening. But is it pay-to-win? No. If someone wants to fast-track progress on his own single-player game, or “cheat” on his own single-player game, that’s their choice and I don’t see any problem of it as long as it does not give him/her advantage over other players in PVP, which will not since player stats are normalized in Ghost War. It is annoying that some cosmetics are locked behind pay wall and I feel the frustration. I agree it will be better if those customizations are free for all. But majority of the items are unlockable through gameplay and ignoring the store does not impede your gameplay much. You still have the experience. So yes I wish there are more free stuffs but for now I am fine with the store.
    Combat wise, it still has the basic ghost recon formula and it is still satisfying landing headshot with a sniper rifle or storming a building and give every enemy you encounter a 12-gauge on the face. It works well for me and I enjoy the gun fight pretty much. The CQC animation is also improved from wildland. Instead of just try to suffocate your enemy, your nomad use his/her knife and show off some fancy moves. It’s a welcoming change. Yet, one issue that undermines the combat experience is the enemy AI, especially the human’s. They mainly just rushed you, or just stay behind cover and do nothing. The latter is more understandable as they try to avoid sniper fire. But rushing is rather stupid, especially inside a building. A way to quickly clear out the enemies is to sneak into a building, place some mine at the stairs, alert the enemy, and crouch at the end of a corridor and wait for the enemies to trip over your mine and line themselves up in front of you for your perfect headshot. It is fun at the beginning but it quickly loses its charm. The most disappointing enemy type is the Wolves. These so-called elite soldiers may hit harder and take a few extra bullet to kill (if not headshot), but their behavior is exactly the same as the normal grunts. In comparison, drones do much better work 
    In terms of gameplay, it is still very much wildland template, but slightly more straight-forward in terms of main story progression. But it is still the same routine. Get to a base, find clue, go to the next and repeat until you reach your final target. It is standard, but to be honest not very engaging especially after the initial few hours. There are considerably more side quest in breakpoint than in wildland and a few of them is intriguing. For example, Mads asks you to find out what happen to his cold-war buddy and you end up solving a mystery. But I am really disappointed that there are no AI teammates. While the game is not too difficult that they are necessary, without it does feel something is amiss. When you are trying, it is… just so quiet. It misses the sense of brotherhood and I do miss the chatter and jokes when travelled through Bolivia with my AI teammates. Another immersion killer is the social hub. You are stranded alone behind enemy line but inside your safe house you have 50 different strangers in every possible costume crowding around the NPC you need to talk to… Oh man
    Most of the surviving elements are not important. You will get injured in the fight sure, but there is nothing a syringe can’t fix. Eating and other survival option can give you temporary buff but most of time they are not a necessity. The only thing I like is the movement restriction. In wildland, you have to be careful not to climb or descend slope that’s too steep or you will lose control and fall and roll. It makes you feel your character as human, who can’t just walk up a steep slope like it’s nothing. It really enhances the realism for me.
    And Ubisoft did not really dig deep enough in terms of characters and story. Most of the characters are indeed shallow, without back stories and simply bland. Jon Bernthal did a good job performing Cole Walker. But the story itself does not give the character much soul. You hardly encounter him in your story progression. Most of his scenes are flashbacks that do not tell much about him. Same for the elite wolf lieutenants. Those characters can have intriguing background that makes players more interested but instead there are just brief description or one or two piece of evidence that show nothing significant about them. I would think Ubisoft did a better job in Wildland in terms of character development. La Gringa for example.
    And I agree with the majority that gear score is pointless in a GR series.
    So I gave a passing score of 7 out of 10. It has its moment of fun and excitement but it definitely needs more polishing and updates.    … Expand

    The game gave me at the moment 42 hours more the 3 beta days not sure how many hours but at least 20h more so probably 60h total at least of great fun and i hope i don't get bored, i can put some game hours and for those that can't put the game hours there are some micro transactions on the store, i haven't bought any cause i didn't felt the need but think some might, think they took some out the store and i'm glad they did, lot's of people were trash talking Ubisoft because of it, but this days youtubers and "reviewers" do that for all games that come out.    … Expand

    Alright hear me out before you mindlessly rate this review 'unhelpful'.

    I hate microtransactions as much as the next guy but the game doesn't shove them in your face at all. At least at the time I'm writing this review, the 'time savers' are gone and the progressing doesn't feel slow in my opinion. Most of the negative reviews I see here are full of nitpicking as well and rate the game    Alright hear me out before you mindlessly rate this review 'unhelpful'.

At least at the time I'm writing this review, the 'time savers' are gone and the progressing doesn't feel slow in my opinion. Most of the negative reviews I see here are full of nitpicking as well and rate the game 0 when there's a lot to like about it.

    Positives:
    + The open world is massive and beautiful with a lot of interesting places to explore.
    + The general gameplay is fun. So like in Ghost Recon Wildlands for example, roaming around the world in various ways, killing enemies in stealth or full assault.
    + Co-Op is great fun just like it was in Wildlands.
    + There's a huge amount of main and side missions to do.
    + A lot less cheap deaths than in Wildlands (e.g. dual uzis from 100m distance).
    + I personally like the whole injury system. Something about limping from cover to cover in combat is thrilling and fun.
    + I like the fact that there are different classes with their own special equipment and apparently there's gonna be more of them in the future.

    Mixed:
    ~ The mission pin system could use some work (you can pin up to three different missions but they'll cover like 1/3 of your screen and if you hide them with tab, you'll also hide the map).
    ~ The menus are pretty confusing at start but after some time you'll be going through them with ease.
    ~ Dismantling single items is pretty quick but it's a bit tedious to do it on a dozen of them (could possibly be fixed with a 'dismantle all' button or something).
    ~ You spend a lot of time changing your equipment but I guess you could just not do that whenever you get something new.
    ~ The A.I. squad you had in Wildlands is gone but I personally wouldn't care less.
    ~ Borrows a lot of things from other games but they're implemented just fine.

    Negatives:
    - The enemy A.I. is just dumb at times (e.g. running in circles or just standing still when their friend died next to them) and could be slightly harder.
    - The shop feels kinda pointless except for buying cosmetic stuff.
    - Some slightly annoying bugs related to changing your skin overlay and actual equipment.
    - Some visual bugs.
    - Some network related problems I guess but I haven't been affected by them so far.
    - The 'time savers' if they ever come back.

    TL:DR, the game might not be the most original piece out there but it certainly isn't terrible. If you liked Ghost Recon Wildlands, you'll probably enjoy Breakpoint as well.    … Expand

    Do not buy this game.

    There used to be a time when a $60 game was released with all its content. Nowadays, we get "games as service" with content hidden behind paywalls and microtransactions. You would have thought Ubisoft would have learnt from EA's debacle with Anthem, but instead, they've gone down the cliff like a lemming.

    This is utter garbage, a storefront, disguised as a game.

    The initial previews and reviews had me worried. I loved Ghost recon wildlands, but I mostly play single player. Imagine my dissapointment that there is no ghost team to play with unless you play multi player. So I decided to get the game via Uplay+, and if I didn't like it then I was just out 15 bucks.

    It's now been a couple weeks and I am hooked. I've played the entire game so far    The initial previews and reviews had me worried.

So I decided to get the game via Uplay+, and if I didn't like it then I was just out 15 bucks.

    It's now been a couple weeks and I am hooked. I've played the entire game so far single player. It plays like Sniper Elite 4, and although I want to have my ghost team back, this is a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The gameplay is solid and is what you come to expect from GR:W. And the game is absolutely gorgeous- everytime I enter the game I am overwhelmed with how realistic everything looks. Playing almost entire on Ultra 1440p, with an i7 7700k and a 1080 graphics card. It is absolutely stunning to see, particularly with grass swaying nearby or distant mountain backgrounds. Add to that, the atmosphere and the ambient sound effects- from animals nearby to the wind blowing across the trees. Gunshots ring out and sound so realistic. If you have some noise cancelling headphones and enable DTS sound effects through windows, it is mindblowing.

    Where this game struggles is the AI and the implementation of the division gamestyle gear. The way gear is tiered just doesn't work- a level 42 cap will give you better protection than a level 40 helmet? Come on. Same for weapons- you can literally keep the first rifle at the beginning of the game and use it all the way to the end. They should have kept the gear system from the last GR game.

    The AI is just bad. You can snipe three enemies before they react- they get this deer in the headlights look. I thought these were professional soldiers? If you're caught in a base, it's easy to hunker down and just let enemies come through the doorway like lemmings. I guess they've never heard of grenades or flashbangs.

    Despite this, I keep wanting to go in and explore this open world- it still is fun casing out bases and planning to sneak in, and I don't even care if I get caught. The story is meh at the most- I've skipped most of the cut scenes. I just want to go in and shoot stuff!!

    Bottom line: totally worth it for Uplay+ 15 bucks. Finish it in a month and be done with it.

    Side note: Am I the only one that wants a ghost recon: Afghanistan???    … Expand

    I am not exaggerating when I say that it's not only garbage, it's garbage by design. This game is designed around the idea of full spectrum profitability; charging the $60 for the game itself and following that up with mobile-style f2p/ptw mechanics.

    Putting aside that the game is lousy with bugs to the point of near-unplayability (for now, we'll get to that part later), Everything,    I am not exaggerating when I say that it's not only garbage, it's garbage by design. This game is designed around the idea of full spectrum profitability; charging the $60 for the game itself and following that up with mobile-style f2p/ptw mechanics.

    Putting aside that the game is lousy with bugs to the point of near-unplayability (for now, we'll get to that part later), Everything, (literally EVERYTHING!) is built around the prospect of incentivizing you to visit the in-game store. For example; there's an in-game progression cap that refreshes every day that stops you from unlocking everything at your own pace in order to nudge you towards the store to simply buy it. Yes, you read that right; there are free-to-play progression mechanics in a $60 game, and the always-online requirement has nothing to do with character progression as Ubisoft claims so much as it's meant to accommodate this (after all; you can't implement mobile-style f2p/ptw mechanics in a game you can play offline.) What's more, the Gunsmith options (such as barrel length, stocks, triggers, scopes, and foregrips) have been neutered wholesale to instead accommodate different weapon "variants" that fill in the role of the weapon you would otherwise have the freedom to create yourself in Wildlands or Future Soldier, and these variants are not only subject to the aformentioned progression system, but are limited in terms of attachment options to force them into a particular combat role, all in order to push you to buy/unlock the other variants in that weapon tree.

    To add to this, the game is in worse shape than it was in the beta. The game has weird problems loading assets in a timely manner that borders on comical, at times; I can't count the number of instances. I completed an objective by airdropping in, doing what I needed to do, and getting out before the game could load the enemies that are supposed to be in my way. Alternatively, there's also been occasions where mission completion was hampered not by the enemies themselves, but instead the fact that the game quite literally FORGOT TO LOAD THE MISSION'S TARGET OBJECTIVE, at which point I turned on guided mode to realize the game was only showing me an objective marker in an empty space where the objective was supposed to be. I am not making this up, and this has happened at least twice a play session.

    The framework of an exceedingly average, but functional military shooter with some nice co-op potential is there, but the vision, coherence, and logical in-game progression is absent in favor of a business model, and unless they rework the entirety of this game's business model from the ground up, it absolutely deserves to fail.    … Expand

    Certainly NOT a Ghost Recon game. Let's get this out in the open now, if Ubisoft had chosen to produce this game without the "Tom Clancy", "Ghost Recon" or some of the signature characters attached to it, I don't believe that many people would be so upset about the end result. Unfortunately though this game is a Frankenstein's Monster owing far more of its core mechanics to OTHER UbisoftCertainly NOT a Ghost Recon game. Let's get this out in the open now, if Ubisoft had chosen to produce this game without the "Tom Clancy", "Ghost Recon" or some of the signature characters attached to it, I don't believe that many people would be so upset about the end result. Unfortunately though this game is a Frankenstein's Monster owing far more of its core mechanics to OTHER Ubisoft titles such as Far Cry: New Dawn, Assassins Creed: Odyssey and The Divison 2 than ANY relationship with previous Ghost Recon Titles.

    Whilst if deemed a stand alone title of an unrelated genre, this game might score at least a mediocre 5/10 based on its solid open world adventure, a relatively interesting story and its plethora of long side missions (Faction missions). However, above that is a game which is an unfocused buggy mess in other respects. Movement is "unnatural", numerous game breaking bugs remain past all the closed and open tests.

    However, the largest slap in the face of fans of the more hard core TACTICAL shooter genre is the incidious creep into the game of Looter-Shooter mechanics and full flooded loot boxes. We were led to believe this game, at its core, was about Survival...alone, behind enemy lines, ever hunted...however what we have is an endless wave of loot dropping at our feet and to add injury to insult, a shop...in a CAVE....where we can just buy whatever we feel we might need.

    Oh, and the final nail dear gamer, the final nail. Gear...Scores. Often the game will subtily tell you that the level, the fictional and unnatrual strength of the weapons, your gear, isn't "high" enough by allowing you to shoot 30+ rounds into an enemies chest at 5m and for him to just shrug it off...because he happens to be level 100 and you a mere level 15.

    Let me just close with a note at the stupidity of the Ai. A significant step down from even Wildlands!! They charge at you, single file to be mowed down or they notice a dead body only to calm down within 2mins as if nothing has happened. They have no tactics, the ONLY reason you can't walk in and kill everyone with abandon is...oh yeah, I forgot, i'm only level 15 and they're level 100.

    I could say more but you get the idea. I played for more than 15hrs, at extreme difficulty, hardly used any of the healing items you have, never felt I was threatened or involved in anything. Don't buy this game please.    … Expand

    While we wait for the hopeful announcement of a new Splinter Cell game in the future, Tom Clancy’s fans will be happy to know that Breakpoint is actually fun, now. The new Ghost Mode solved many of the issues that plagued the original version, and while it isn’t fully healed from its painful stint as a non-Ghost Recon game, the latest entry in the franchise is trying its best to course-correct. If you are one of the many people who were put off by it at launch, I would recommend you try and give it a try now – just like the eponymous Group for Specialised Tactics, Ubisoft might yet turn this near-miss of the series’ breakpoint into a franchise victory.
