Even though this video was sponsored, you did not hesitate to point out the flaws, which I appreciate.
Even Ubisoft admits the flaws of Breakpoint (as the game receives awful sales and reception), so they made Immersive mode to compensate.
Dallas ok and
@@ThemomSlapper and it would've been closer to the core concept of ghost recon six months ago and might not have been such a disappointment at release? I don't see why playing like a ghost recon game wouldn't be important in a ghost recon game
@Dallas Well, they delayed ALL their next games to make some polish and innovate a bit more on each one. So, i hope they finally learned the lesson. Mediocre games not only affects consumers, but their stocks and wallets too.
This game is a piece of turd. Polishing a turd.
Ubisoft wanted another looter shooter to profit from micro transactions. At least they listened to the fans and changed it back. I will load it up this weekend. I need Sam Fisher back in my life!
prepare to be dissapointed then, since the only thing new is removal of tiered loot, because all the ''new'' hud settings you could already change yourself LOLZZZ
And dont get too excited about the sam dlc. Its better than that trash in wildlands but not by much. And they end it with a shitty boss battle.... in a ghost recon game..
Mrpieman92 Isn’t that most DLCs though?
The sam fisher missions weren’t even stealthy some were and some weren’t
It's kinda like what they did with far cry new dawn
So its actually a Ghost Recon game instead of The Division: Jungle Expansion now? Sounds good to me.
Haha so true
@Alex Mercer get rid of the gear level? Nigga that was this mode is about
@Alex Mercer you are misinformed. If you had known better, in the new update, you CAN jump off cliffs with parachute, they fixed the sprint animation long time ago, you CAN get rid off the level gears. Dont comment if you are misinformed.
@Alex Mercer night visions suck because the nights are so bright that dont need them
Still not a Ghost Recon Game it's still dogshit
Finally, this is way better than “Here’s a M4A1, but don’t use this one because these numbers say the other one you found is better.”
And it says a weaker weapon is better. Like i used the sc20k and it worked great, but no, the weak, inaccurate smg from the enemy is better. I'm so happy they fixed it up and added immersive mode
i like it cuz ur constantly changing ur guns n equipment
unless u turn off gear level in the settings
The numbers, Ubi!
WHAT DO THEY MEAN?!?!
You trying to make me cry with that description?
i like the immersive mode so much more
What exactly is the difference? I'm new to this? Not sure which time select. Literally about to play now
SH4F I haven’t played this one as well just wild lands
No gear score can select to have one main and sidearm also can select if being shot will wound u instantly. Map indicator off huds off.
RUclips Account so which one should I play if I want it to feel more like wildlands
@@sh4f660 Haven't you watched the video? Everything gets explained in it. :-)
With the new immersive mode the game feels more like what they've shown in the first gameplay trailer! I hope more is coming in the future like shoot while driving, AI teammates, and more class...by the way nice video!
Idk why they didn't have it they have 3 other characters (fury, fixit and Vasily) who are nomads allies in the trailers
@@geoffreyscrivens3600
The marketing executives demanded a loot system in the game and the Dev team likely ran out of time and manpower to actually implement the AI teammates (amongst other foundational problems) because of the time wasted on the nonsensical loot system.
Geoffrey Scrivens those suppose to be representing online players or it could be
I just wish the game was been like immersive mode just like we want in the first place. No gear level bs and be like wildlands roots but some idiot decides to tell ubisoft community to do the division stances and make it up to level which all players hate our customised outfits and everything been on level which is not sense in a ghost recon title
Plus I really want the ai teammates to be in this game and Idk why they said its hard its cause of someone I. Ubisoft force them to take it and be like division that's why this ai squad gonna take time 😑☹️☹️
A step in the right direction, I'd still like to see AI teammates, offline mode, better vehicle handling and I also wish they make the guns sound better, they sound like nerf guns
Tbe cars and choppers handle so much better than Wildlands wherein they would drift like ballerinas on ice
Totally agree
gninja92 😂😂😂😂😂🤣
@@gninja92 they do handle better than in Wildlands, but it's still pretty bad.
@Detective Angor they need to fix a lot of stuff my man, hopefully the game will be worth playing in a year or less
I am quite happy that a lot of games are actually improving and correcting their flaws. That is a very good sign for the industry in my humble opinion.
"This video is brought to you by Ubisoft"
Ooooooh boy.
Indeed it is. But thankfully they let me freely talk about what I felt about the update. I've been waiting for this overhaul for a while.. didn't even bother with a final review last year for Breakpoint. but now that the game has immersive mode, I'm enjoying it a lot more. Feels a lot like wildlands now
@@Nick930 thank God I thought they had bought your soul 😂👍
@@Nick930 Glad they let you say what you want 👍
Nick930 Ngl I was mad worried they were going to make you say what THEY felt about the update but hearing this is honestly relieving.
A man's gotta eat
This is quite literally a gamer moment
Tami Hansen meh a real gamer moment would be them completely scrapping this model of Ghost Recon.
Tyler Brock and adding it to steam
Even tho i'm not a fan of the direction of this franchise, i like how much customization Ubisoft added to this game !
Appreciate the mind-blowing efforts in the videos since the last week.
I have a loot addiction and it gives me a reason to explore in games that have loot but I love realism and immersion
As someone who hugely disliked the direction they took with breakpoint, this update is a welcome one from ubi. The fact there are so much customisable options is really awesome and something more games should do.
Hopefully the next GR leans towards tactical realism and stays far away from any form of loot / tiers.
So much better now. Just feels like a balanced tactical open world shooter
oliver cardenes good now I’m going to go get it
undead twilight same
With terrible enemy AI, laughable animation and terrible gunplay. Games are supposed to get better, Ghost Recon is regressing.
Alexander Cockburn yup. Ghost recon is just another one of Ubisofts money vacuums now, that is quite literally all it is, purely designed to take your money and that is it. No attempt at an actually decent game whatsoever. The ghost mode is simply there to make people say “oh wow maybe I’ll buy the game/spend money it now”, whilst keeping the shitty game design there. No changes as far as that goes.
I started a new character for the new mode yesterday.. about 8 hours in and its like a new game..
the new mode ramps up the difficulty if you don't use your ears and take your time making progress thru even what was the easiest areas in the original mode . And I love it for that fact.. it plays like a milsim now ..with less time being wasted in my inventory pouring over stats and weapons I found my self in the game so much more.. every mission feels life or death and that's the way it should be especially when the game is supposed to be behind enemy lines survival...
In closing I'd love for this game to get a re review as I believe the work here needs to be acknowledged
Awesome vid got ya self a new sub . Keep it up
Just got it for the free weekend to see whats it's all about. Whent straight to the imercive mode at highest difficult. Holy shit a game!
I'm loving it a couple of hours in. Now I just need to find someone that's starting out to to play with 💪
Mark Tadd _“Plays like a milsim now..”_
Kid, you have no idea what a milsim game is..
@@Gunnar001 in comparison to how it was little fella..
And we aren't exactly flooded with anything close to a milsim on console hahaha
@@Gunnar001 I agreed, if you want to play "Milsim", try Flashpoint or more recently, Escape from Tarkov, then you'd know what a real "Milsim" FPS feels like.
Damn ubi really be trying tho
I just got the game and immediately changed to Immersive mode as Im not into the gear levels. With the HUD disabled and enemy icons disabled on the mini map it becomes a great tense game. If theres one thing I cant stand its the super powers in these games - tagging, wallhack, xray vision, alert clouds, explosion warning (silly red circle appears on the ground!) all that nonsense.
One of the AI team has a drone that does a scan and shows all enemies through walls. Theres also a skill that does this. I disabled AI special abilities and avoid skills that give xray vision. They take away the challenge and tension. I appreciate other gamers like these features though, we are all different. As long as game devs give us the options to turn of HUD elements then both kinds of gamer can be happy :)
Great video btw, nice commentary over calm background music instead of the super loud dubstep and 10 hour intros I see on the other vids lol. Keep up the good work :-)
I just picked up this game and I absolutely love how immersive it can really be. Playing as an Eschelon is really fun ✌
Dude this video really hyped me up to replay it again, thanks Nick! I'm digging back into this very soon!
Oh my god... That part about Splinter Cell gave me chills so much. I bought the gold edition just for that. That was the selling point for me
im glad you did this, straight to the point and clean just like always , keep up the good work my man
on another note, now i have a reason to buy this game.
This is exactly the video I was looking for. You explained everything perfectly!!!!!
Dude your so underrated your content is the best u deserve more subs
Those new splinter cell missions were awesome, especially since I appreciate a stealthy approach more so than my friends. But I’ve noticed a lot of strange bugs surrounding this update. To name a few, even with the year one pass, I cannot use the new classes without starting a new character, mustaches clip through the half face mask, and grabbing seems to be more hit or miss now, having to press and hold the button several times before it finally works. I appreciate the new immersive mode and it’s made the Breakpoint experience significantly better, but I do hope they push out a fix for all these really weird bugs I’ve been experiencing.
Thanks for this! Great game and content! All love and positivity to all watching and to the content creator for helping all who have watched!
Really enjoyed this video. Made me excited about diving back into breakpoint. Earned a sub mate
Currently, the devs are prototyping Offline mode, and working on adding AI
are you sure ? On their last devblog they said they cannot make it offline
if that's true, that's like a miracle
are they actually working on a soonish to release SC Game or not?
@@philippebeauchamp2827 No they're not.
And your proof is where?
The immersive mode is great, and I’ve started playing this game again because of it.
Me too bro
I'm lookin forward to do the same.
@@DanielJW247 me too 👍🏿
Same, totally hooked on it!
this was such a well put together and informative video i thought it was done by ubisoft themself! great job!
This video got me back in....that was one reason why I always bought both the division and this...for the difference...great content bro
I am wondering: How has the game improved on a technical level? When it released it seemed to have been infested with bugs, glitches and weird ai problems. For example I remember watching a streamer doing a railshooter mission, but as soon as he hit an enemy vehicle, the ai would stop and leave the vehicle imediately, which made the whole railshooter mission a farce.
How has the game improved in this regard?
I ran into a few minor things - mainly with the new Deep State missions, but nothing major. just characters clipping here and there...
I would have to spend significantly more time playing to identify all the bugs - maybe create a final review later on.
Razor Calahan There are still many bugs, but at least the performance is much better and there are no more game breaking bugs (as far as I can tell 11 hours into the free weekend)
As someone who has almost 70 hours in Breakpoint and 300 in Wildlands I can tell you that this game has improved in no small way at all since launch, technical wise. Playing in immersive mode is not even hard for me since I have a lot of hours in the game, but it falls into the same reason I died so many times in Wildlands' Ghost mode. Instead of fight enemies you're now fighting the game's engine. Now that health bars are done away with and drones die so much faster the only obstacle left is the game itself. I can attribute almost every swift death I've had so far to buggy enemies, long and unbreakable animations, terrible physics, and a missions system that is built with easy mode and a gear score in mind. Most missions are not scaled toward being in immersive mode and will do frustrating things like spawning 3 or 4 drones and 10+ enemies just around the corner and expecting you to be able to fight that just after spawning and right after a cutscene with no cover.
On top of that stealth means close to nothing and defeats the "immersion" factor right out. Many missions, small or large, will spawn in enemies at certain checkpoints that come out of no where and already know where you are. Even if you haven't done anything and haven't been spotted the game will decide, "Oh, we need a cool game trailer moment now so here's two helicopters and a few dozen enemies from the treeline you already cleared.". The worst part is watching enemies spawn in at random locations the game thinks you aren't watching on thermals. Stealth is constantly broken by the games new and sometimes better character animations. Like Arma 3 you'll sometimes just hit a texture and your character will have no idea what to do and just freak out, stand up, or keep spinning in circles on the ground.
Guided mode is another big thing they advertised in-game a lot. An option that when toggled on or off will remove objective markers so that you have to follow clues and investigate for yourself. But half of the missions clues are "It's by this lake. It's in this house right here. It's on the shelf.". And the other half are "It's in Auroa. It's south of the top of the map. It's by some grass." leading you to finally find whatever it was talking about and rub up against everything in half a kilometer like a horny cat.
@@_Maroi so true. Did yesterday the deep state mission where i have to cover that bee guy while he is deleting his project on the Solar plant and i kept failing for an hour because there were just too many enemies and enemy vehicles to fight off at once if youre playing solo and on the hardest settings
I play on xbox. Ive put about 20 hours into immersive mode on my new file. So far not a single bug. Super smooth and the overall game feels right now.
Can they stop with the Sam Fisher references and just announce the next Splinter Cell game please? I’ve been playing Blacklist again and I can’t wait much longer.
this content hinted at a TON of stuff regarding a future splinter cell, they even teased a new character who will likely end up replacing Grimsdottir
Just please a better studio and next gen graphics. And no looter lol
Blacklist and not chaos theory? Lol
maybe they're constantly making a build up and as soon as there are enough people hooked on to it (on both the Ghost Recon audience and Splinter Cell audience), maybe they'll finally reveal a Splinter Cell game...
@@cashuflakbreakdancer Blacklist and Chaos Theory are the best in the franchise, including Double Agent for me, with conviction being cool but not really the same style.
The abillity to change gameplay settings, is one GIANT leap in the gaming industry.. KEEP AT IT !
Big appreciation to Ubisoft for adding a detailed setting to customize our experience. I personally much prefer the RPG Division-like approach, but appreciate having the option of switching to immersive.
The ai is still seriously broken, enemies still run nonstop into the side of mountains and buildings.
Not only the AI, the all game is broken af
what's an ai?

I haven’t played the game in months, but after starting a new game I’m hooked on the gameplay and immersion.
Same here. It almost feels like a different game now and that's a great thing
Thanks to you, I’m gonna hop back on breakpoint and check out this new stuff 👍🏾
just bought the game because of the discount. I decided to go full hardcore. I jave died more times than I want to admit, and I am only on the first base and have been for the last 4 days (6ish hours of game play). Amazing how you come to appreciate the weather and time of day.
Every cutscene I see, the voice animations make me sad with how rushed and out of sync everything is. Wildlands took it's time. This still feels rushed.
wildlands rulez
Yeah same,nomads voice its like he's always screaming. Atleast thats what happens in spanish
Thank the “fans” for that
(Recently Purchased) Fast Review. I avoided this game for the longest as I have waited for a steam release. I finally got it a few days ago. So far, I started my first playthrough in immersion mode and must say I am highly impressed with both gameplay and visuals. One thing he didn't mention (maybe this didn't exist during the production of this video) the game has a feature called, "Free Friend Pass" which allows you to invite 3+ friends to join you for free without limitation. I'll admit, after watching this video, I been playing the Deep State missions believing the entire time that I was playing the main story. It's a no wonder the missions played Chaos Theory music. Great game so far, I can recommend!
just subscribed! i love it for comparison! make more videos! ❤️❤️
Glad it’s finally a ghost recon game! I’ll be jumping back in today!
the dev call it 2.0, well for me this is finally a solid 1.0 releasestate
I've always loved the gameplay from wildlands. And to see breakpoint turn into a looter shooter kept me from giving it a shot. With this new mode, I'm more than happy to give this game a shot
was it any good?
@@succcc614 just started it’s fun af
I took advantage of the trial, loved it, bought it. I play immersive with gear score enabled, and tweak for a bit of a challenge.
You just helped me decide whether to get breakpoint. I'm getting it immediately
i dont mind the looter mode as it gives me a purpose for raiding a base but i also like the choice of going full hardcore as i already play on the hardest difficulty
I don’t have this game but these changes are much welcomed I think it adds the fun back in I really enjoyed the game before this one and I was hesitant on the new one. The new colours tiers remind me of Far Cry New Dawn. That change alone makes a nice difference.
Thanks for the very informative video Nick, great content as always. This is how the game should have launched, keen to try it this weekend with the ghost experience turned on...
I was already ok with regular mode but having a new way to play is good too. i plan on exploring it more when i feel like changing my gameplay up. The update did fix the crash bug i was having in the mountains so i was very happy about that. Half of the comments sound like people who dont even play the game. i started playing this more then GTA because of how stealthy and tactical you can get in engagements. as long as new missions and more ways to customize my character come in.
Pretty nice overview of the new content, good job.
One of the things I really liked in Wildlands was how well the weapons were balanced and how all the clothing and such were 100% cosmetic so I was quite upset when I learned that Breakpoint is going to include leveled gear because I really dislike that concept in modern games that also try to be realistic at least to some degree. If the game is a looter shooter like let's say Borderlands, then it's fine. I almost didn't even buy the game because of this. That's why I was super happy when I heard that the game is getting an update where you can turn off leveled gear completely making it more like Wildlands was and now I'm happily playing the game without leveled gear.
I was wondering about this. Thanks :)
I still play this game to this day. Its probably my favourite game on PS4. I just reached level 9 on the engineer class.
Great, its a step in the right direction. Another update to make this game offline and I can give it a chance.
They already made a statement that they can’t fully implement an total offline mode
Papi Slayer Since I’m on Xbox do i only need WiFi or do I need Xbox live gold too
@@incognito9221 just wifi but you need gold to play with friends
imv 99 Thanks man.
@@Afterthought_ which is Bs. It's not impossible they're just too lazy to do it. They said they cant because you have shared progression in the campaign and multiplayer but both rainbow six Vegas games had that feature with offline included. You just earned a little less when offline.
It’s funny because for no reason I was like ima give this game another chance n I was pleased with this today...
I appreciate what they’ve done here. I might actually pick it up now.
I've been playing in extreme immersive mode and almost no hud ever since the mode was released, and now with the option to reduce drones and improved stealth against drones, I find the game finally enjoyable
I enjoy both elements, gear score and realistic.
Gear score pushed me to try new guns that I’d have otherwise avoided, realistic? Well,it’s on the label 👍🏻
Immersive sounds really fun, I have wildlands and wanted breakpoint but played it awhile back before this was an option. Looks like I’ll get breakpoint. I love a challenge and all those ways to really customize the game is pretty cool
I love how you started playing the Chaos theory sound track when you start talking about deep state.
The chaos theory soundtrack plays during the deep state missions
Great video, this definitely persuaded me into buying the DLC’s!
Nice I quit this game after like 2 missions but now I'm going to boot it back up
Same here.... I haven't played in over a month
THIS is more like it. Totally buying it for the Immersive mode.
Really great vid dogg i love wildlands and from all the reviews and what ive herd was never even going to try Breakpoint but this vid
it got me bout to get from gamefly or buy on PSS when before i was never going to touch this one immersive mode comparison is what sold me on it will certainly be updating this to let everyone know what i think bout it
I had no idea this game was so dynamic. I had no idea that I could play this game solo. I bought the base game today, but will wait for a sale to likely buy ALL of the DLC available. Thanks for the vid.
I got this game for 80% off not too long ago, I’m so happy that I did find this game, it’s incredible
I’m actually in shock, Ubisoft just fixed a game without breaking it even more. Is this even real life?
Here’s my suspicion. They had all of this finished and ready to go. They decided to release the game only with leveled loot so the die hards would buy them then after they get obvious back lash they “listen to the fans” and then release the complete game.
They knew what fans wanted from the get go, but they still wanted to cash grab.
They have to add a long reload option to hold onto ammo. Probably just double tap x or something
It sucks if you have a lmg or something
This imo was the best review. I still would like to see a clip where someone switches back and forth between immersion mode and regular mode. If you played the game from prior to the update, like myself, I am hesitant to try immersion because I don’t want to lose all the weapons I hoarded. I have not seen a clip where someone jumps back and forth
Love all your vids nic ... keep it up .
This update brought me back after about 150 hours into the game. I really like the fact that I can tweak and make adjustments in immersive mode.
Being able to disable the loot and levels is great. The new Deep State is better than I thought it would be. The new Echelon class is excellent. You feel like you are playing as a Splinter Cell agent. It's fantastic and I'm really enjoying it. It's awesome that they even added in the outfits and weapons too.
All in all I have been really impressed with the new update and the new Deep State mission.
Still waiting for AI squad and changing the way Nomah runs lol but I understand those are more core changes and aren't that easy on a released game, still great changes it brought me back to the game for a second chance, I'm enjoying a bit more myself in the immersive mode
If they add in squad AI, I hope they're more refined than the squad in Wildlands.. those guys weren't worth keeping around.
Hector Rodriguez yes that running animation and not having the ability to holster your weapons bugs the crap out of me!
Love the explanation... Great Job Bud!! 😉😎👍
It seems to have everything now! I just bought it and it’s a riot. Loving it
Ubisoft, that's how it should have launched!
@WarnerAnime 020that is correct
Yes true
They try with fix the offline mode for this game and they tell us by there post it's not that working for them and it's hard to put it back way it is sorry for use don't get the offline mode and yeah I feel the same too
Apparently a exec at Ubisoft thought since the Division and Assassin's Creed sold pretty well with the new systems that GR would too.
Problem is, those systems were advertised up front. Breakpoint was touted to be what Immersive Mode is without a single mention of gear score, and now look.
Ubisoft, at least, can learn from their mistakes. Activision and EA...not so much.
My character in this game be looking hella fly though 🔥
Flick there is like no customization in breakpoint I don’t even think there is 100 things unlike wildlands who had over hundreds and a lot were free
Thank you for this! I'm going to go play the Splinter Cell missions now. How did you like the Terminator missions?
Thanks a lot, looking forward to my new ordered copy.
Have one question how do you get metal parts in Immersive mode?
I found them inside crates around the island.
Destroy drones
I'm loving these changes, this is great progress. Still waiting for offline and AI teammates though but I LOVE what I'm seeing here
I loved wildlands. And I was waiting for breakpoint to go on sale and picked it up recently. And i am playing it in mostly immersions difficultly. So far I’m enjoying it.
I always give it a shot on not guided but after i miss a couple guesses, i just turn guided on then off. Very nice feature.
Breakpoint is pretty damn good now.
Definitely a way better game now than it was before.
Tip : you can "toggle" Guided and Unguided Mode when you are stuck or if the clues were not so great :P
8:16 I saw what you said about the dead body and the Emp, but if you want to be the sneakster you can just crawl under them
I'm just thankful for the damn geared score level removal .. why install it in the first place
because people including me like it... it's not that hard to see that
I noticed that they still haven’t fixed the player character’s goofy walking animation
It's the same as wildlands. Wildlands has a more fixed camera angle so it's less noticable
I think what I love most is just the fact that the game has multiple profile saves so I can play one way for myself and another with my friend. Because we like to play on the same settings
I bought the game a month ago, and I had no doubt about going with the immersive mode, it does get the tactical shooter feeling, and makes the game so much better
I’ll never understand how gameplay for breakpoint they make it look so easy but when I play I’m getting shot all tf over. And HAVENT reached certain DRONES and cut scenes. Wtf
Got to be honest they kind of fixed all my complaints in that case I mean not all of them but the ones that really annoyed me. Jesus bless y’all.
I’m glad they actually added this. I’m sure that like a LOT of other people, the whole gear level just completely turned off a lot of people. And it’s got a huge sale right now, so I might very well actually get it now
Best thing about immersive mode is the reload-lost ammo. Personally i never has see this in a game and i love it also love the splinter cell crossover old sam is still badass as i remember from double agent for example
8:25 "felt more like a new splinter cell game than Blacklist"
That's a bit of a reach. The AI GRB is still as dumb as ever and the stealth is still just as bland as ever. No amount of dressing up in a SC outfit and skulking around in the dark will change that. The melee takedowns are still just as excruciatingly slow as before and your movement options are the same (no hanging off ledges, no context takedowns etc.)
If you already prioritize the stealth approach this DLC won't change anything in terms of gameplay except maybe the AOE stun gun. The sonar is pretty much just a sniper detection "nade" launcher.
And the writing is just as lacking as the rest of GRB's writing. Even Ironside sounds robotic.
On a positive note the music brings back good memories and the immersive mode feels like a step in the right direction.
Blacklist is way better than this
it's obviously not a splinter cell game. No you can't hang off ledges and such.. my point is, it felt more like a classic splinter cell game than what the series had turned into. Just sneaking from shadow to shadow.. interrogating enemies (which you CANT do in blacklist outside of cutscenes). Hacking computers... amon tobin's music.. Michael ironside.
And btw.. the AI in splinter cell (aside from chaos theory maybe when it first came out) has always been dumb as a bag of bricks. "Huh......... I guess it was just the ghosts!"
@@Nick930 I respectfully disagree, Blacklist is no Chaos Theory but it felt like a return to form in some aspects especially after Conviction and feels a lot more "classic SC" than anything in GRB.
Even the AI in Wildlands was more believable when it came to detection because you had partial visual detection (if enemies caught enough of a glimpse of you they'd become suspicious and investigate). In GRB unless the the visual detection meter fills fully you're good and it just dumbs the whole experience down. It's a step back and one of the main reasons why stealth feels so gutted.
@@HellKnightX88 It's certainly a return to form I can't deny that. And don't get me wrong.. I love blacklist, I think the guy that played Sam managed to deliver a solid performance, the story was intense, and the takedown animations are easily the best in the series.
But I did not like the fact that the levels were all designed with the annoying "waist-high" cover in mind... looked like a gears of war game. I also didn't like the more linear level structure, the lack of night-time missions, the missing "Split jump," no ability to hack computers and read emails, no interrogation, no lockpicking.. it was a return to form.. but only a little bit. I also HATE the "First person" briggs stuff.. huge mistep. And then there's the Spy v Merc mode... not even remotely as good as the Chaos Theory/Pandora version. The "Death from above" thing was not balanced at all, and the lack of a FOV option for mercs was a big issue.
Now as far as my comment regarding Ghost Recon and how this felt like a classic splinter cell, I say this simply because it had ironside, the classic music, and things like lasers, traditional nightvision/thermal, and emp to disable tripwires. It had a lot of inspiration from the classic games and reminded me of playing the originals. It didn't feel like Conviction or Blacklist because those games rely so heavily on fast movement and the "mark&execute" thing.
This sounded a bit too much for me also. While Blacklist surely made some concessions towards being more action oriented, at its core it was still very much a Splinter Cell game. Even though Sam is not voiced by Micheal Ironside, over the years I have started to consider Blacklist to being one of the better SC games.
"Smarter Enemies" means that the enemies to not obey the same rules as the player.
@Eriko. Oy at least it's not as bad as in wildlands. you can use your drone as a bomb. Once you detonate it and kill and enemy NPC. They will know exactly where you are at controlling it and come for you LOL. In breakpoint I've noticed that if you use a gun with a silencer on it enemies don't automatically know where the shot is coming but not in wildlands they still know where it came from lol.
I DEFINITELY want to get the expansion. Thanks
