First, your friendlies don't pay attention to where enemies are, they will take cover right next to an enemy because they can't get spotted, this not only breaks immersion, but is just sloppy design and makes no sense. Second, the enemy AI is horrendous. The best way for me to explain this to you is to bring up the moment when I was shot out of a moving helicopter by a regular enemy grunt that was using an automatic pistol from 300 meters. Yes, it's that terrible. I suppose one could say that I've been spoiled when it comes to tactical gameplay and realistic AI because I'm a huge fan of Arma. Why I even expected to get a game of that caliber from Ubisoft is beyond me. Also, my biggest pet-peeve comes with this mess of a game: bum-rushing enemies. If Ubi would take five minutes and do some research into real life firefights, they would realize that people usually stay put during firefights, you know, lest they move out into the open and get shot. The enemies in this game don't care if they die, so they will sprint out into the open, straight at you, and lay fire into you from a position that you can't aim at. Believe me, if you are wanting to waste a few hours of your life doing nothing productive, then get this game. If you're looking for a realistic, open-world co-op shooter, get Arma III or Squad.… Expand

Another plus is the freedom to choose the flow of the story mission and how you approach each one. Graphics are a hit and miss but considering the draw distance, I completely understand. Gun-play is awesome and the weapons do feel different from one another. I highly recommend playing this on the highest difficulty as it gives it a more tactical feel.

You can play Wildlands much more tactically like a Ghost Recon game, or you can go guns blazing, and even that creates some goofy, and entertaining fun. The problem for me I think is the repetitive gameplay. There is sssssoooooo much to do. The map is littered with side missions like getting intel, supplies, rescuing rebels, etc. It just all feels the same. Sure, technically all games are repetitive, especially in shooters like this. There just isn't much to grab on to. I could care less about my character, or any other character for that matter which makes it hard for me to justify doing every mission. There is just a disconnect there. The game shines the most when playing with friends, and NOT the AI buddies. We were able to get into some wacky situations. We also were able to coordinate tactical strikes, and finish missions without being seen at all. We were ghosts, so to speak. :-) In that sense it gives you a feeling of accomplishment. The sync shots are really cool. This is when you have maybe 3 or 4 enemies standing around next to each other or far apart and call your shots. Maybe one friend gets one enemy, another friend gets another enemy, so on and so forth. You all fire at the same time and the enemies drop without alerting anyone nearby. I found though, that going in guns blazing was much more fun to me, and the best part is the game doesn't feel like it's punishing you for doing it that way mostly because of how well the game plays. Just for context sake I liked The Division wwwaaayyyy more. It kinda seems like, (with my friends anyway) that if you hated The Division you might really like Wildlands and if you loved The Division you may not like Wildlands. Either way I would probably wait on this one. At least until the price drops a little bit, or you can find a used copy.… Expand

    Typical Ubisoft. They created huge world, but build on insanely generic content. Why this big world where you are doing few things all over again. Very buggy, vehicles physics is a joke. AI bad.

    What is wrong with people reviewing a game less than minutes after playing, or not playing at all and only the beta!? After 20 hours in and two regions nearly down, so far so good. Some of the best gaming experiences with a coop friend. Really memorable. So we cleared area one, and went a region to the north. Before we knew it we were raiding casino's, destroying slot machines, storming secret cocaine hideouts under mountains, Running through a holiday resort killing cartel, tanking down within a gym and Not a single repetitive mission. the AI was fun. So many times we got spotted, so many times we managed to loose them or they couldn't find us and gave up. Skydiving in at night, under night vision then switching to infrared to pick out those hard to see enemy's. Its incredibly fun and I'm nowhere near completion. I'm hearing the other regions are equally diverse. The gun play is immersive and satisfying and the equipment customisation is rediculously in depth. Long barrels to multiple scopes to all types of grips, so many combinations to explore. I'm hearing comparison with GTA, ok so the driving isn't as good, but this isn't a focused driving game, gta is. However GTA as soon as you step out of the car, the movement mechanics to me are terrible. The duck and cover system is clunky along with the aiming with guns is terrible. This game has nailed that, you can pick off head shots from 400 yards allowing for ballistics (drop, speed distance and gravity). Its completely open for you to play out the missions how you want. My friend and I are still waiting for the other two to buy the game before we go 4 player, but we still managed to setup some of the most amazing moments. We would ambush the cartel, he would sniper and grenade launcher the convoys from a hill while I layed down some heavy fire to clean up the stragglers. It looked incredible coordinating play in this way. Each taking a role, spotting covering each others backs and when it all goes wrong, being able to quickly remove silencers and go loud with all weapons is also amazing.

    I have played about 4 hours of Wildlands and have really enjoyed it so far. I have been playing solo at the moment before I jump in with some friends. The Solo experience is really good and was surprised about that. Normally team mates in games are terrible. You can sync shots with team mates really easily and give them orders by the D-pad, they even revived me when I went down.

    The map is really big and all the vehicles that I have drove handle fine and haven’t had a problem. So many different ways to complete missions you can scout out the location with your drone and pop people off with a sniper or go in guns blazing. Every time you level up you get points to unlock or make things better eg: Better drone battery life, Stamina for when running and so on. I haven’t found any bugs yet but I would like to see a dark zone PVP mode like in the Division tho. I know a update is coming out with 4 v 4 PVP but I liked the dark zone module. I feel this game will only get better with some friends. I would say this game is cross between the Division and GTA. Definitely give this game a go if you like open world games.    … Expand

Enemies are abundant and appear to have better AI then your NPC counterparts.

    With that said, there are some minor bugs that I've noticed so far. None of which are game breaking and some are pretty hilarious. One in particular seems to occur at random when you and your Co-op team load up in a vehicle. If done in the right sequence you will notice that one of the three passengers will never appear to have entered the vehicle even though they most certainly have. When you drive away this team member will appear as being behind the vehicle running at a high rate speed to keep up with you. This also occurs in helicopters. I'm not 100% sure how to recreate the bug but it does not occur all the time.

    Nevertheless, this game is great fun and if you are a fan of open world shooters this is the right game for you.    … Expand

    The visuals are stunning without a doubt and the realism definitely sticks out, however, the open world is almost too open. I actually preferred the small scale of the Division's NY setting. Probably because of the vast amount of time I spent travelling to a mission apparently only 2 miles away, but 10 minutes to get to. If you aren't playing with friends, the AI can be hit or miss if not given specific demands. The cartel idea actually makes for a really good story, it just isn't executed well. I feel like this game struggles to identify what type of shooter it wants to be. The various amount of ways you can take on a mission is great, but if you plan on doing stealth, you are better off doing it with the AI.

    The multiplayer was frustrating. You HAVE to have a set group before the mission or else randomly selecting people, you end up with people 3-4 miles away. This game isn't terrible, it just doesn't feel like a Ghost Recon. More like a Mercenaries with better graphics and a more straightforward story.    … Expand

I was and still am a huge fan of the original Ghost Recon Future Solider. I was a huge fan of Battlefield Games. (Notice the "was"). I give this a 10 for quite a few reasons, but being a hard core gamer I am filled with hope on this.
    First off, the map size. What made Battlefield appealing was the ability to disappear on a map, but also the ability to fly planes, drive tanks, jeeps..you get the point. G.R. brings that in on co-op. There is so much that can happen in one flight with your team. Parachuting and bullet drop add a flavor of complexity and realism to this. Especially when you do a "HALO" jump at night over a lighted city into a compound.
    Like GTA, you can pull a gun and get a free car. Shooting the innocent people will cause you to restart a mission, it makes the challenge that much more harder as even the bad guys are hiding in some of those vehicles.
    Did I mention Co-OP?! When you get into a game this size your missions are endless. From the simple roadside help, checkpoint clean up, and even taking on UniDad. (Organized police). You get rewarded for finding supplies, aircraft, ammo dumps..all for those rebels your team is there to help out.
    Visually stunning, this is one to grab, and plan on spending some time being part of a special force. There is a grind factor, but name a game that doesn't have that?

    - uninteresting story
    - AI sucks ( but not on higher difficulty)
    - limitless trolling ( you only can kill only 4 civils like WTF )
    I only discovered 1 bug so i don't see the negativety on that
    Also are the controls good . People who say the controls are bad have this on pc or didn't play this game
    I didn't really focus that much so ....... yeah ( i will rate the game lower if it sucks)
    I did focuse on the first 6-7 missions . Now i play a lot of side missions and a lot of trolling ( riding in on my friends with a burning car , jump out of it and BOUM on my friends HAHAHAHAH)

    Do yourself a favor and skip this one. Ubisoft has failed miserably with both Watchdogs, For Honor, and the Uplay disaster. The customer support is also a disaster. Only replying to those who approve of their downscaled games. Plauged with bugs, server issues, and framerate drop offs, this is game is going to die a quick death.

    Firstly, I'm appreciative to Ubisoft for the beta. I feel that no one can complain that they feel cheated in buying this game since the beta gave them the opportunity to try it out.

I feel that no one can complain that they feel cheated in buying this game since the beta gave them the opportunity to try it out. That said, the beta convinced me to not purchase it. I had high hopes for Ghost Recon Wildlands, and honestly, I thought the beta would help me in deciding whether to go ahead and purchase the Gold version with all the planned DLC. Wow. Talk about disappointment. This has been described as a mash-up of Far Cry 4 and The Division? I have the full DLC of both of those game and love both. Ghost Recon Wildlands is a far weaker version of either. The landscape, while looking absolutely gorgeous, has no substance. You can literally drive straight through bushes, plants, large trees, mostly everything except unlevel terrain, exactly as you would empty fields. Until you get to a spot where there is supposed to be action, and then WHAM! even the smallest fence brings your vehicle to a dead stop. I just drove through a massive tree and yet a tiny wooden fence is an impenetrable barrier? Otherwise, for the most part, driving land based vehicles is pretty decent - I especially like the controls. Helicopters are another story and feel like cars in the air.
    The AI feels like it cheats. It has a detection meter but it feels inconsistent. I realize in real life that random things happen that affect whether you might be seen, but even if I grant that to the AI, it just seems phony. Sometimes it is so easy to get seen and other times I can waltz around like an idiot without so much as a glance by the bad guys. Seems slightly pre-scripted. And then several dozen bad guys immediately show up. From where? I just spent 20 minutes circling the place and yet it only took 20 seconds from being detected for 4 vehicles full of baddies to arrive. Sigh.
    Finally, this is mostly a shooting game. You gotta get that right and they didn't. I like the little bob and sway when moving the gun side-to-side, but that pretty much ends my list of positives. Both Far Cry 4 and The Division had far better shooting. No real ability to use cover either. And the sync shot gimmick and in the entire process of handling the other team members is annoying and useless anyway. Maybe it would be better with 4 real live players but in single player mode it is not worth the effort.
    I had such high hopes. Thank you, Ubisoft, for allowing the beta to demo your product. Honestly, it was the deciding factor between scoring your game a 6 rather than a 5.    … Expand

Playing solo is easier to playing in coop and the game shines most whe you go for stealth, yes some tasks may seem repetitive, however soldiers do the same, it is not like you should expect karaoke, bowling and making Polish kielbasa in between. Simply getting the pawns out of the way. This game is 100x better than future soldier and yes mgs5 and the best of The Division's elements are present here as well, much to its credit.

    Really complete game. I like to say that ths is the game that we were expecting when The Division launched.
    Graphically its not marvelous, but it delivers.
    Game play is wicked fun (great explosions).
    Sounds and music are a bit shallow.
    Nice variety in missions.
    A gigantic map to explore.

    Co-op on this game is the best Co-op experience out there at the moment for this type of game. Vehicles are refreshingly usable and don't get in the way of playing the game and completing objectives. In singleplayer AI teammates do let the side down somewhat as they are prone to blundering into enemy camps as you sneak up to them. Overall though, this is a great game!

    If that doesn't turn you off then maybe in-game radio stations and cringe-worthy squad attempts at jokes will. Unfortunately Ubisoft continues to prefer quantity over quality and the final result is
    mediocre gta clone at best. I can't recommend this game at full rsmp at all, maybe 3 months down the road when the price drops in half or even further if you think season pass content might be worth your money.    … Expand

    Ghost Recon: Wildlands excels in the sheer size of it and has a ton of content which offers you and your friends endless possibilities and lots of fun. The gameplay, on the other hand, is often repetitive, which causes the game to be just a little less than fantastic.
