    A super solid entry for the Ghost Recon franchise. The game offers up an amazing story, maybe the best in the franchise. While I never had the pleasure of playing the multiplayer, I have heard mix things. The game is an superb edition to a dying franchise that desperately needs new life.

    will be content to just play a older game for hours..
    This is why I have two awesome TV's in my ManCave.
    Not for CO-OP/ScreenWatching lol,,but that too..
    But mainly because my friends come over and wanna play a single Player game
    and I got bored watching so I just went a& did my own thing..

    Ghost Recon: Future Soldier: a third person tactical shooter.

    The multiplayer was decent and had it's moments if it weren't for the lag issues and glitches contained in the game that Ubisoft never bothered fixing.

    Gun customization was my favorite feature in the game. Pick your sights, barrel, camo, grip, etc. It was a variety of choices that helped you to decide how you wanted to go into the battle: guns blazing or stealthy. Sadly most of the time, you need a suppressed weapon for the missions where you couldn't raise any alarms.

    An overall good quality game with it's moments. I would recommend this game to those who want something different from games like CoD and Battlefield and have been around the Tom Clancy series.    … Expand

The missions are linear, COD type but the way you do it has variation and requires strategy so that kinda overcomes its "on-rail" gameplay courtesy of Battlefield and CoD games.
    The Graphics is pretty good,not Battlefield 4 great though. The atmosphere is done right and it really feels like you are in a battlefield and not placed in studio with textures of destroyed landscape pasted in the background (like CoD). It was a great move to go 3rd person, and any rabid hater criticizing the game for its 3rd person view should go cry in a corner cuz THIS MAKES THE GAME MECHANICS WORK WELL!!
    The only good military game since Battlefield Bad Company 2...which is a shame for the gaming industry..

The main draw for me is the weapons customization, which is the deepest I've ever seen in a video game. It's even better than Army of Two's weapon customization; everything from the magazines and stocks to the gas systems and triggers can be customized to make your own killing tool. Guerilla Mode is Ghost Recon's take on Gears of War's Horde mode, tasking you to take on waves of enemies. A few gripes, however. The game's too easy at parts and the AI is predictable. And while past Ghost Recon games relied on tactics to complete missions in one piece, in this game it's all about hunkering down and shooting anything that moves. Also, an online pass is required to play the game online, and I absolutely hate when games do that. This game may detract from the tactical roots of its predecessors, but just because it isn't a tactical shooter doesn't mean it's terrible. It's a pretty good game if you find it cheap. Just keep in mind of that infernal online pass...… Expand

I can't comment on the online play but the single player mission is really fun. I had been disappointed about the Advanced Warfighter game mainly because it lacked any single player capability and I'm not much into online. Future Soldier is the game to buy if you want more of a single player experience. I usually like the 1st person shooters but the ability to switch shoulders holding the weapon was a nice feature for the 3rd person view. I only started playing this game but I foresee many more hours of fun. It has great graphics and the strategic addictive quality of eliminating the enemy in different ways (not as linear as Sniper was.). This makes it different than the typical shooters since running and gunning usually gets you killed or spotted. It almost feels like a real-time version of xcom (when battling the enemy) except more of a feeling of being live in the actual battle ordering your teammates to take out strategic positions (or take them out yourself). If you like this game, you may want to look at Brothers In Arms Highway to Hell (older strategic shooter but currently still pricey) I am still curious on how the kinect is going to work with this game. I do feel as though I got my $30 worth of a game and more,… Expand

    Ultimately, what sets GRFS apart from other first person shooters is the tactics that are involved in all facets of the game. The heart of the game lies in it's multiplayer experience, in my opinion. The campaign does some neat and innovative things such as the 'Sync Shot' but what put me off from it, is effectively being penalized for not playing the game a certain way... the way the game wants me to play.

    In the campaign, you can unlock certain things to better your guns and equipment and based off the score of each mission you can potential unlock more things. What I didn't enjoy is that if you do not complete a challenge or have a high enough mission score by playing the game the way the game wants you to play it, you can't unlock items, even if you were highly successful in your mission. I didn't want to use the guns they outlined... I wanted to play the game my way.

    The story, like other military-esque games, has you in various locations and each mission does do something intriguing (like using giant mecha-robots) and those parts were enjoyable and challenges aside, the game is laid out in a tough but fair way that does make you earn mission completion.

    The questions that arise in the campaign are redeemed somewhat in the multiplayer experience. Each level designed is great, in that, you are able to flank (or be flanked) in each and every position you are attacking/defending. The progression of each character is reasonable but the stratification is not significant... so a level 5 character does have the ability to challenge a level 45 character well, where skill is the deciding factor (as it should be, in my opinion). 'Conflict' mode is especially fun and my favorite though being placed in a team that is not up to par is frustrating (but that could be said for any game). This feeling seems accentuated in GRFS as the normal k/d ratio, as in other FPS', is not relevant and taking objectives is... and newcomers to the game are often lost or "camp" and until they learn that, make it slow going. It is very possible to be the MVP of a match without killing anyone... which was great to do.

    Ultimately, the game... particularly the online experiences, are definitely worth the purchase, in my opinion. (8/10)    … Expand

    Multiplayer launched with the game almost still in beta. There were many glitches, bugs, and exploits when it launched. Luckily most of them had been patched. I think of the reason for this is Ubisoft didn't know truely how many people were going to be playing the multiplayer which also led to some lag issues and I assure you, they won't make the same mistake. Multiplayer overall is intensely fun, stressful, difficult, tactical, teamwork based, and stategic.Never have I been in a game that I cared so much about the objective that it made me want to throw a grenade at my feet to save it.

Cover mechanics and invisible cloaking could be a lot better, I mean, who wants to crouch for a couple of seconds before entering "invisible mode" and then not be able to stand up without blowing cover? Also, the cover mechanics can be buggy at some parts and even non responsive.Also, there is little to no story line and you have no emotional feelings for your squad mates or even your own character.

You will have to be stealthy on most parts so if you like running in there gunGhost Recon Future Soldier overall is a great game but it does have its cons. Lets break it down and talk about the game as a whole. First is the campaign. You have three difficulties; Recruit / Veteran / Elite (Easy, Normal, Hard). The storyline is very strong and has a good amount of humor in the dialog. You will have to be stealthy on most parts so if you like running in there gun blazing your never going to finish a mission or the campaign. There will be parts when your not in control of your character other than shooting enemies where the camera move to, which can be a pain at time, but you get use to it after a few times. It is best to play with 3 other friends so you have a 4 player squad and this can only be done over Xbox Live. Campaign gets a 4.5 out of 5.

    You have three characters throughout the game. Scout: This is your recon class; Engineer: This is your support class; & Rifleman: This is your strength class. Multiplayer is a whole different ball game and is where most of the community goes. Multiplayer as a whole is great because you have four modes. Conflict: Which is a objective Team Death Match.

    Decoy: Which is also a objective Team Death Match, but you have to defend or capture 3 objectives and if you get the Intel you go to the second stage which is planting C4 on another objective and then its round over. First team to win 2 rounds wins the whole game.

    Saboteur: A bomb spawns in the center of the map and both teams go after it and first team to arm the bomb and have it explode wins the game. Siege: Objective Team Death Match but no respawn. So if you die you spectate for the entire round until the next round starts up.

    Now all of these modes are fun in their own way, but that isn't the only great part about multiplayer. You have the gun smith which lets you take apart your weapons and customize them in any way you can. You just have to unlock parts as you level up. To purchase items you have tokens and each item costs only 1 token, but majority you unlock when you get to a certain level. You can even go to a unlocked gun and take it into the firing range to test it out so you know how it is before you unlock it and you can do this same process with items and guns you currently have unlocked. If you want to see how a scope looks on your gun or any other type of configuration before going into the multiplayer, firing range is your friend.

    If your not familiar with the maps in multiplayer you can host your own lobby and no one can join you if you want to just roam through the maps. You can pick any gametypes you want and just run through the maps. In the custom lobby mode you also have everything unlocked so you can experiment with all the guns and equipment as well. Now lets talk about the cons of multiplayer. When using the cover system your body sometimes peeks out and then can get a headshot on you. Your character can get stuck on the wall at times. Kill cam is sometimes off. Not everyone uses a mic to communicate and plays the game like its made for run-n-gun (COD, HALO, Gears of War, Battlefield). You will find spawn campers, players that don't go for objectives or cover their teammates. The most frustrating thing about multiplayer is the lag and "connection to server lost". What everyone is going to have to accept and ignore is being detected all the time, just become well at knowing the map and create the best class you can and travel in squads so you can take them down. Guerrilla mode is just one word: Amazing! This is what the multiplayer should be like when there is no lag. Best way to play it is with 2-3 other players and unfortunately there is no online search. You have to invite friends to come play, but in a way that is good because what if you get matched up with some lone wolf player. So you will have 5-6 maps to play on and each map is different. Your first wave is all stealthy and then after that its all firefight. You will have three supply crates drop at the end of each wave and about 40 seconds to supply up and set your equipment up where you need to. At the end of each wave you will also get a wave streak. By wave 10 you will be on the edge of your chair because it gets very intense right there. Overall Ghost Recon Future Soldier is a great game and full of intense action that everyone wants. It is not like COD where you call in kill streaks, etc. Its a tactical shooter that requires team work and actual thinking. To win you must obtain all the objectives and team work. Overall though go in there, try to obtain the objectives but have fun while doing so. Thanks for reading this review.

    Two outstanding problems are the AI getting stuck on walls (On the nights a fourth member could not play) causing us to reset. The other, not having drop in capability which harmed us when one group member locked up and had to reset causing him to not get credit for the very long mission we had been playing.

    Overall a solid experience, a good mix between stealth and action, with an addition of melee take downs from Splinter Cell: Conviction, which is always a welcome touch when being sneaky or closing in on an enemy.

The multiplayer isn't too great as it gets difficult to react during close quarters and aiming in this game is annoying since you have to click to ADS.

May not have split-screen co-op, but guess what 99% of the games this generation don't have split-screen co-op so that's not really a huge deal to me. Definitely a buy… Expand

    Multiplayer opinions: If you are looking for a hardcore, third person shooter, that focusses on you and your team mate/friends, then this is the game for you.

    Multiplayer review. Is familiar enough to the earlier G.R.A.W. games while refreshingly different and more advanced to incorporate some of the advances other games have added the last few years. The maps are great. Many different nooks and crannies, multiple level with stuff in between (i.e. you run up and down sloping gradients within the map structure). Great evolution of the seriesMultiplayer review. Is familiar enough to the earlier G.R.A.W. games while refreshingly different and more advanced to incorporate some of the advances other games have added the last few years. The maps are great. Many different nooks and crannies, multiple level with stuff in between (i.e. you run up and down sloping gradients within the map structure). Great evolution of the series and absolutely a needed entry back into the genre. This game like the others is much more tactical than the CoD/BF3 games. CoD obviously the least. BF3 a bit more medium, except when you play the 64 person maps in a narrow passageway/vehicles. But this multiplayer YOU have to be the man. No killstreaks. No vehicles. Sure you have some tactical toys to play with, but you can't just call in an AH-6 overwatch, and don't have to worry about BF3 air vehicles devastating the entire map's groundforces.

    I disagree that you can't run and gun. The difference is, you have to be a little bit more reserved, a bit more tactical with it, and it is easier to get nailed because of it. Snipers get good views of you through obscure spots, and sensors can allow you to be shown as you are running towards people. So maybe a more accurate way to describe is jog and pause rather than run and gun. The weighting system also changes your speed and determines how fast you can get past snipers on the run and such. The game is also FAR more realistic than CoD in the sense of it doesn't take 10 shots to take someone down. One clip on a standard assault rifle can easily take out five guys. While I like CoD as it has a place, the whole 1 shot or 10 shots is really kind of lame. I wish they'd tighten that down a bit. In Future Soldier a normal clip is enough to lay waste to most of the opposing side and you can do it faster. The hit detection is good and because it doesn't take 10 hits, it allows for a more realistic aim worsening to be more realistic but not entirely hampering. It works, it's more realistic, and even adds a bit of skill and real time processing while in a medium-long range firefight. While it sucks when someone hacks your data stream, it is a cool feature and awesome when someone on your team hacks the others.

    I love this game. Max Payne 3 is pretty fun. But of the two I opened on the same day, THIS is the game that has gotten my attention and the one I can't put down. (though my 360 keeps crashing with Max Payne 3 might have a bit to do with that as well...seems like all 360 Rockstar games are buggy as hell). Easy to fall in love with this multiplayer. May still grow quite attached to Max Payne 3's, but already have with TC:FS. If you liked the GRAW series, this is a no brainer. If not, the additions make this quite a different game as well. Again great blend of familiarity, yet major differences. Been a long time coming for this game and glad UBI finally got another out. 10 for multiplayer.    … Expand

    This is a definite 10/10, the campaign blew me away and the multiplayer it's just pure fun, If you want a long and amazing campaign and a fun and tactical multiplayer this game is a must-buy and it is also a refreshing change from call of duty and battlefield, I think every gamer should try it

    An awesome campaign ( also playable in 4-coop! ) + a fantastic guerrilla mode ( GRFS Horde ) + a funny and tactical multiplayer ( great but a little boring ) : Buy it !
    The gameplay's awesome and a lot tactical, different from CoD or BF; this is the new generation of military third person shooter!

    Amazing game. Graphicly epic, and so is the gameplay. One of my favorite shooters. It contians so many elements. Stealth, gunplay, and a huge amount of tactics. Even the online does! If you are one of the many who does nothing but play cod, becuase its fast paced and easy, dont play this.. Extremly tactical, and hard to get used to. The single player was fun, but the online is better. IAmazing game. Graphicly epic, and so is the gameplay. One of my favorite shooters. It contians so many elements.

    Fantastic game. Campaign reminds me of the old SOCOM games (1,2, & 3): very tactical and serious. The multiplayer is addictive and tactical as well. If you want a tactical TPS, look no further.

    I have been following this game for quite some time now. Tom Clancy games rarely disappoint and usually deliver a somewhat authentic experience that games like Call of Duty and Battlefield have brushed aside. It's safe to say Future Soldier is no different. The game plays out similar to Splinter Cell Conviction, but stays relatively grounded like a Rainbow Six game.

Tom Clancy games rarely disappoint and usually deliver a somewhat authentic experience that games like Call of Duty and Battlefield have brushed aside. It's safe to say Future Soldier is no different. The game plays out similar to Splinter Cell Conviction, but stays relatively grounded like a Rainbow Six game. The gameplay is not necessarily innovative, but it has a satisfying blend of stealth and gunplay. To make things better the Campaign set pieces do a good job of changing the pace and keeping it fresh. Every mission offers something unique which has become a rarity in the shooter genre. With that said, the story is dull and feels like it has been copy and pated from almost every other military shooter (Russians, Nukes, EMPs, every clique is there). I found myself skipping past all the cutscenes. Another issue with the campaign was the team AI. While playing the campaign I found myself babysitting my teammates through many areas. This however can be easily solved by playing through the campaign cooperatively. Co-op is a superb addition to the game and adds another level of depth. Fans will also be glad to know that multiplayer does not feel tacked on, in fact it is quite good. It is definitely not for everyone, but if you want a more unforgiving and tactical experience than that of Call of Duty, Future Soldier's multiplayer is a good place to start. If you run and gun, you will die. It's all about working as a team and taking objectives. Lastly Guerilla mode. Guerilla mode feels like somewhat of an afterthought. It is fun, but it could have been so much more. The biggest gripe I have with it is that you cannot use gunsmith for Guerilla mode. Considering how deep and how much of a big deal Ubisoft made of gunsmith it seems strange for them to leave it out of Guerilla mode. All in all Future Soldier is a fun and complete package that does not disappoint.

    Wow, this was good. As far as tactical games, nothing gets better outside an RTS. Sync Shot is unlike anything else, if your looking for a third person shooter that stands out above all us in graphics and rich story, this is your answer. The technology within the game, is pretty cool. Please understand I am MGS guy, so this kind of game is right up my alley. It has a nice rich story lineWow, this was good.

The technology within the game, is pretty cool. Please understand I am MGS guy, so this kind of game is right up my alley. It has a nice rich story line with your typical Clancy plot twists and dialogue. The only issue would be the lack of control at multiple points, you think your playing but if you try moving you realize it is a cutscene, which gets frustrating, but still a great game and worth your time from start to finish.

    A tactical shooter with focus on stealth and teamwork. Buy it for the multiplayer modes and play with a team of friends, as the campaign is missing a large portion of the Ghost Recon-identity.

    A surprisingly engaging campaign with a slew of co-op options, let down by okay graphics and inconsistent connectivity. Get some. [Aug 2012, p.66]

    So what did I think of my first Ghost Recon experience? Well, I think it did a lot of things well. Despite lacking any kind of coherent plot, Future Soldier's campaign had the hooks in me and I couldn't help but finish it off, despite having no interest in the pay-off. Chalk this up to a great combat system and some pretty satisfying stealth segments.
