    Ghost Recon Phantoms is a free to download, but generally pay to play game. Each time the game is "updated" is seems as though the game gets worse and worse. From is original launch, the game has gone in favor of those who purchase the game compared to those who don't. If you do not want to spend roughly $60 to play this game, then don't play it.

    This game is heavily P2W, even looking at the leaderboard and the store(to buy other P2W stuff) cost money, quite ridiculous.

    On a completely unrelated note, the servers are a ghost town now these days, but even if tons of people were playing I would still give this a 1 due to the insane amount of P2W this game tries to shove down your throat.

    Big fan of Ghost Recon. Biggest hater of this game. How on earth do they even dare thinking that this game would work ?

    That's pretty simple, basically, in this game, 99.9% of the "players" I've met in my 3 hours playthrough think "Scr*w the objectives, they just help me camping." AND THAT'S IT. There is no fun in this game. And the worst part of it is that I didn't see anyone    Big fan of Ghost Recon. Biggest hater of this game.

    There is no fun in this game. And the worst part of it is that I didn't see anyone playing with free weapons ! If you just think you will play for free, you'll see your progression not advancing (at all), and the best you'll get in a headshot is 37 damage at close range ??? WTF ???!!!

    If you have a minimum of self-love, or reason, or both, just say no to this piece of junk. Seriously, you'll be doing yourself a life saving gift.    … Expand

    Pay to win design.

    Pay to receive half health, and deal quadruple damage.
    They charge you for each grenade (seriously, not even kidding).
    Bought the top tier equipment? They release a higher tier of equipment for you to buy to stay competitive.

    Want to earn it by playing? Expect to put in years into this game.

    Don't let those tom clancy fanboys fool you. This has got to be the WORST game design I've ever seen in my life (speaking as one involved in game design myself).

This has got to be the WORST game design I've ever seen in my life (speaking as one involved in game design myself). It is a model of creating levels in a game but ignoring them for match making purposes, pitting low levels against high levels, and a steamroll in nearly every match. Once in a blue moon there is a good game that is somewhat close. But the fact is, higher level characters will faceroll you on every factor. There is no balance whatsoever until you reach level 30, which will take eons if you started playing the game after beta, because those who already started can 1 shot you with a p90 for 150 dmg noncrit in the toe, insta-killing you before they even decloak, meanwhile your lmg, ar, or shotguns do 1-2 dmg per shot in the head due to their massive armor mods which you cannot counter until you reach higher levels since higher level equipment is insanely superior to lower level equipment. No balance though they claim there is balance between the stats. But the stats on equipment are not weighted properly at all. Since you cannot get kills, you cannot gain xp, and hence you will be stuck for a long time grinding those levels. Unless you enjoy sitting there and getting slaughtered without actually being able to play, avoid this game. Lag issues are so horrible, more than half the time you seem to get shot through walls before the enemy has shown themselves yet. In addition, only less than 35% of projectiles even show up on max settings. So often you will die from invisible fire you didn't even know were being shot because the visuals (including impacts on the wall) and sound neglected to initiate. Had high hopes for this game, but was a let down in every conceivable way.… Expand

    Mega broken FPS shooter, you can't play this if you dont pay 300 euros for month, this is not FREE shooter, this is payed shooter masked like Free-FPS-online-shooter. But it's not, if you dont pay, they ban you. if you give opinions they ban you. Ultra broken game graphic, FSB exploiters, hackers, full with pay2win users.

    Don't be fooled by this game claiming to be free to play. The pay-to-win nature of this game is blatant and just flat out egregious.

    For example, I was shooting people in the head for 40 damage while they would shoot me in the body for 40. They nickle and dime you unabashedly. You must pay for grenades and pay to replenish them as you use them. You must pay to repair your armor.    Don't be fooled by this game claiming to be free to play.

    People may claim that you are free to play without paying. But that is an extremely disingenuous assertion. Not paying puts you at a severe disadvantage where other players will steam roll you and once you reach a certain level, most players would have paid. Match making does not differentiate between paying and non-paying players.

    Ultimately, you will have two choices when you play this game. Either stop playing because you are out-competed or start shelling out tons of cash, and I mean tons of it. Everything in this game is extremely expensive.    … Expand

    This game has very good concept but when it comes to execution,it has one of the poorest.Match making system is so flawed,there are two levels one is beginners (till lvl 8 ) then rest of the pack.so if start matchmaking after lvl 8 you may end very high level players with far far strong weapons and armor and they will just kill you like an insect.then there is another thing as this is F2P,This game has very good concept but when it comes to execution,it has one of the poorest.Match making system is so flawed,there are two levels one is beginners (till lvl 8 ) then rest of the pack.so if start matchmaking after lvl 8 you may end very high level players with far far strong weapons and armor and they will just kill you like an insect.then there is another thing as this is F2P, devs will sell weapons forged in asgard,which are impossible to beat.we all will be taking cover and those people will walk like a beast and kill you,then server crashes,freezes frequently but no one bothers to fix it.players keep reporting issues but developers just don't do anything.In-fact I had a hard time believing that there is a F2P game from ubisoft and thought UBIsoft has changed but once you get inside the game then only you will know its the same money sucking Ubisoft.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game has a HUGE PAY TO WIN WALL after you leave the beginners server. The matchmaking is random and the game pretty much FORCES you to spend real money if you want to keep up. They have new guns coming out all the time that are a little better than the set from the previous week. never any new maps though. The clan games are pointless. you can never find 2 clans ready to play. The way they sell you items is a huge scam. you get so many multiples of crap items. you never get your moneys worth..dont bother reaching out to UBISOFT for support or complaints with this game as it is hosted in signapore and not the Normal US branch so customer service will do nothing to help you and are rude. they will take money out of your in game wallet bcuz they feel like it. no money back. play CS:GO instead. at least the items you buy in that game you can turn around and sell for real money… Expand

    PROS:
    - I cant remember any.
    CONS: - A very few maps, all of them are just corridors. - Everybody are camping and sniping on the same places all the time. - Paying customers are hugely privileged with ammo, damage, armor, etc.. (Pay to Win!) - To get anything you need to play same three maps over and over again, because retarded children always vote for most sniping friendly    PROS:

    - No memorable music.

    The game while presented "free to play", is definitely just "pay to play" or "pain to play". It is just a quick cashgrab.    … Expand

    This game is absolute garbage, don't even think about wasting your time with it. Here are my main issues with this game:

    1) The matchmaking is atrocious. This game basically has two different queues for players, noobs (levels one through ten) and everyone else. I just hit level ten so I get to play in the big boy group, should be okay though, right? Wrong.

    1) The matchmaking is atrocious. This game basically has two different queues for players, noobs (levels one through ten) and everyone else. I just hit level ten so I get to play in the big boy group, should be okay though, right? Wrong. My first four games I played again a group of three guys who are ranked 6th, 9th, and 14th in the WORLD (as I later found out by checking the world athena rank leaders). The best guy on my team is ranked Colonel 1, which is basically Gold is Starcraft or League of Legends. Obviously, the unbalanced teams leads to the game being super boring.

    2) This game is the very definition of pay to win. Sure, you can buy most of the equipment in the store with money you earn by playing the game, but expect to spend 10+ hours of game play for a simple upgrade or a new gun. On the other hand, you get to play again people who have invested money into the game, take 1/4 damage and deal 10x as much as you.

    3) The server connection is horrid. I have a beautiful internet connection, never had any trouble with it. I then get a message saying "Your connection to the server has been lost". Once I log back in, I notice that my ranking has dropped by two or three spaces. So to get this straight, I'm being penalized (as if I rage quit) because of your horrible servers?

    4) Lastly, the game encourages objectives, which is awesome, however, the community doesn't seem to grasp this concept. Most players will be recons (snipers) and camp all game long.

    Again, please don't waste your time with this game.    … Expand

    It's basically the same game as Ghost Recon Online but with not so many more maps: a third person shooter that aims to be tactical without being able to provide fun for more than a few hours. It deserves to be tried only because it's free and nothing else.

    Classes and skills are well-balanced, and even though you’ll cycle through the small map selection quickly, they offer enough possibilities to stave off fatigue until Ubisoft adds more arenas. With more modes and maps, Phantoms would be a formidable offering, but it’s worth dipping into until then.

    Considering this is completely free to play, Phantoms has a lot to offer in terms of tight controls, nifty cooperation and a neat ranking system. Given the fact that it will keep evolving, it looks like fans will have good reason to stay.
