My 3 sons have been into these kinds of games since the early 2000's, but I was given a Div 1 cd by my youngest daugter's ex-boyfriend a few months ago and I haven't stopped playing it. I enjoy the Division franchise.
Upgrading your units, actual strategy being involved when it came to combat, unlocking abilities, seeing world events unfold in real time with your victories/defeats (and who you defeated/lost to) having an effect. Even which faction you chose would cause a different experience towards world events. I even found the voice command system useful believe it or not. Focusing on one unit and its surroundings to order artillery strikes on non radar spotted enemies took up a lot of command time. But being able to simply say "Unit 3, move to alpha" or "calling all tanks, attack hostile 4" helped keep the ball rolling. I still play it from time to time.
Fun fact: the first Rainbow Six game were supposed to be developed alongside the book, but the game were finished already before the original book, the difference were on the later part of the book and the game so the endings and the continuation of the stories were parting away from another. So from there, the book universe (Also known as Ryanverse) were different to the game universe of the game, which it's actually also different to the first Ghost Recon universe.
Ghost recon never changed universes. Unless the universes switched in between ghost recon 1 and 2, as scott michell can be seen in most ghost recon games after the second one
Tom Clancy’s Rainbow 6 book was the first experience. Then after enjoying that book I ended up reading almost everything he directly wrote himself. Rainbow 6 Vegas was the first game I had experienced of Tom Clancy. After Vegas 2 came out, I played Ghost Recon: Future Soldier 1&2. I played Splinter Cell from borrowing from a friend, but never got into it much. Then the Division came out. Which was amazing. I then did Wildlands and fell in love with third person shooters as the preferred style of play. Then Breakpoint and Division 2. I switch back and forth weekly. They are just so good, and the stories are even better.
I personally think that _every_ Tom Clancy dystopia game, including The Division, has completely different timelines. It's just not possible for the US government to send military specialists, such as Rainbow, the Ghosts from Ghost Recon, or Sam Fisher from Splinter Cell, to other countries while being under siege by looters, rioters, and hostile factions, as seen in The Division 2. (And I say "every" since we don't know what the unreleased games are.) PS: I know that Rainbow 6 is a part of the even more popular Ryanverse, since the Rainbow 6 characters, including John Clark, are recurring characters in the Jack Ryan novels.
@@halogalaxy5612 No, tom clancy games are connected to the tom clancy games, ubisoft original's like Assassin's Creed are connected to Watch Dogs and MAYBE Far Cry, but Ubisoft originals aren't connected to the Tom Clancy games
@@DasBetonZockerLP also don't forget End War, because it is confirmed that Ghosts are in the J.S.F. so Hawx, Ghost Recon, Splinter Cell, End War, and Rainbow Six all share a connection. So one could argue that the plot could go any direction, whether it follows the End War route, or the route the video maker here has established.
It all started with sitting down late nights with my dad back when the first splinter cell came out, I was a toddler but I swore I was watching the coolest movies ever created. Then once I was old enough, I had an Xbox 360, it was weird how i stayed in the Tom Clancy universe, but switched to ghost recon, played the hell out of advanced war fighter and future soldier, this whole time I never knew it was all from the same universe. What a world to live in!
Started playing TC with the first splinter cell totally love those and ghost recon wild lands and div 1&2 they are all great games I’ve tried to get into the rainbow series but just doesn’t grab me . Nice work mate keep it up
If you really want to get conspiratorial Far Cry 4, 5 and 6 all have references to Abstergo in them and the war at the end of 5 matches up with the beginning of Endwar and in New Dawn you can find references to Sam Fisher and the Division being activated right after the nukes dropped. Yara is also producing cancer curing poison to sell to the rest of the world. It's not confirmed or anything but if the writers at Ubisoft wanted to, it wouldn't be hard to officially connect everything and have it make sense. I for one think it would be hella funny if it turned out Huntley was working with a Ghost team and the reason Jason and Ajay and Rook were so inexplicably successful was because there were Ghosts doing the heavy lifting behind the scenes lol
Ghost recon 1 that came out in 2001 for ps2 , Xbox and GameCube was the first TC game I've ever played and I've been in love with his games ever since, always have a special place in my life but damm I wished they would stick to their roots, the best Ghost recon game is ghost recon future soldier, hands down the best and it was the definition of how a ghost recon team should be, even advance warfigher 2 was great! Loved it! Great video mate
My love for tactical shooters started with ghost recon. I've enjoyed the division story but both strayed from their origins. We can expect a short life with Frontline, if any. Great vid NGN!
LOVE the video!!!! I've been a fan of the Tom Clancy world since before he started making video games with Red Storm, I had and still do read his novels and love em. The first game I ever played was the very first Splinter Cell game and I remember thinking at that time....GOD...this is going to really be something.
It's content like this video that keeps me firmly a subscriber to the channel... and a huge, shameless fangirl of NGN as a creator! Thanks for this, NGN!
I never played any of the Tom Clancy games until recently I tried Ghost Recon Wildlands then I got curious about the connection between each titles.. it's the reason why I found your video because I'm looking for a reference on their timeline. Thanks!
I remember in Vegas 2 at the penthouse you're in contact with a NSA agent wearing night vision and getting to places undetected, though leaving bishop and his team to fight through them, and then just saying "I can't get in that place you're on your own" just thanks for the help random splinter cell
Started with the OG R6 and the book behind it (im 39yr atm) :-) the first R6 games up to and incl R6: 3 is some of the best most immersive games ive ever played, kept on repeating those maps until I had a perfect score (one shot one kill, no team members down or hit). Dabbled with the first 2 GR games and GRAW, but then came back to the brand and fell totally in love with GRFS and GR:Phantoms. Played both Division games intensively up until Ubi kind of started to show the “new true colors” and started to become the brand they are now, with overpromising, cookiecutter and similar games, mostly dissapointing their OG core audience. Maybe because im getting to old for gaming, and I no longer belong into the “main target group”, but I long for a true “adult”-TC strategic hard and challenging game for the gamer wanting to be taken serious. Atm we dont have any game to turn to for a serious, demanding, strategic and tight story driven game focused toward the ever growing “mature”-gaming audience… Wildlands and now Breakpoint can now “sorta/kinda” be tuned into such an experience but not to a 100%
My first TC game was Rainbow Six Vegas. I played it at my local comic convention. I loved it so much that it was one of the first games I purchased for the 360 even when I did not have one. Once I got the 360 I picked up Advanced Warfighter 1 & 2 but loved 2 more. I then was glued to every announcement from Ubisoft for the next TC game. I picked up Vegas 2, and at that time I also discovered my love for the Ace Combat series and when I heard that H.A.W.X was coming out I was sold. While all this was going on I worked for at a Gamestop and was getting blasted with the new Splinter Cell game, Conviction. I thought it looked really cool and bought it as my first splinter cell game. I have been looking forward to whatever Ubisoft comes up with next but I primarily play single player games, or play solo so I am not too thrilled with these online only game modes or games. However I am starting to lose hope that we will see a return to the campaign mode of Rainbow, and I fear that Splinter Cell has been relegated as nothing more then abandonware at this point.
Well the TC Universe is under siege because Ubisoft are doing the Tom Clancy name dirty with their new releases. Like "oh you want a new Splinter cell, well here's a TC themed Valorant (Xdefiant) and GR Frontline which is just a rip off Warzone".
My first tc game was the division 1 and I have loved the series a lot so much to the point where I accidentally made it to the top 15% of kills in the division 2
I started playing Tom Clancy games way back with one of the Splinter Cell games. Didn't understand it or enjoyed it cuz I was little. Then in 2010 or 11 I got Ghost Recon Predator on the PSP which is where I actually started to like Tom Clancy games. GR Predator is also why I like Ghost Recon the most out of all the Tom Clancy games with connecting stories.
Played R6 on N64 (talk about old school), and later a little of R6 Vegas with a bud. Heavily the Division and only recently getting into Wildlands which I wanted before I got hooked on Division streams. May give Breakpoint a run before Heartland but we'll see.
The Division does exist in the Tom Clancy universe, it’s just that the pandemic didn’t happen. They were mentioned in the book Splinter Cell Firewall which is canon to the Tom Clancy universe
Great video, I still have the discs for the original rainbow 6 and it's dlc 😊. What other Tom Clancy book would make games that could work in the time line you suggest in this video?
The first Hawx game and variety of other Tom Clancy games are playable via the Xbox’s backwards compatibility, so you can play them on the Xbox Series X/S consoles.
Played Rainbow Six on windows 98. Read the books n all. Game development from Ubisoft's standpoint is to make a fun game, opposed to sticking to any Clancyverse type structured lore. For better or worse.
So far, I think the shared Clancyverse only interests Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon, Splinter Cell, and HAWX (we've had multiple crossovers and crossreferences between Ghost Recon, Splinter Cell and Rainbow Six, and HAWX was born, as you said, to support Ghost Recons). EndWar was an alternate history situation that branches off from the R6/GR Clancyverse, but given that the game ends with nuclear annihilation of either factions (and that the Rainbow and Ghosts end up being on opposite fronts and thus one or the other gets annihilated even before GR:Breakpoint is supposed to happen), I'd say it's meant to be a separate road to explore the RTS possibilities of a East-West conflict within the Tom Clancy franchise, probably inspired by Clancy's books like "The Bear and the Dragon" or "Red Storm Rising". As for The Division, that's an entirely different Universe, and in fact the game basically has no other Clancyverse references (except for small easter eggs) and is not referenced in any other Tom Clancy games (except for some promotional skins for guns and gear in Ghost Recon Wildlands).
I love your videos with facts and theories. I have one for you and I would love to hear your thoughts on it: What if Hitman (2016 series) and Ghost Recon (Wildlands & Breakpoint) are set in the same universe? I speculate Diana Burnwood and Karen Bowman are the same person. They are both voiced by the same actress. Their jobs are basically the same - espionage - collate intel from around the world and provide target information to an assassin (Agent 47) or to a squad (Ghost Team). We know the name 'Karen' is an alias. We have heard Sam Fisher call her 'Linda'. Maybe 'Diana' is also an alias. Diana and Karen may look a little different but maybe she is a master of disguise. Finally, In GR:Wildlands mission Operation Archangel, when Ghost Team is searching for Caveira's brother in an apartment, we see a suit very similar to what Hitman wears. This is an easter egg but it only adds fuel this speculation.
Here some of the my lore rumors to be seen in the Clancyverse: - *Rainbow Six seeks help from Scott Mitchell to send Ghost Recon teams to joining with Rainbow Six to neutralizing the members of the White Masks. Kozak, 30K, Pepper, Nomad, Fury, Vasily & Fixit as their new operators in the Rainbow Six: Siege DLC. Some of the cosmetics from the Future Soldier will be applied on all Rainbow Six operators.* - *The Division alongside w/ Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon & the Forth Echelon formed a joint operations team to eliminate a bioterrorist organization that created a "Million Dollar Flu" Virus that spreads the whole entire planet & rescue doctors & scientists that created a new flu vaccine to end the global pandemic. Weapons & equipment from Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon & Splinter Cell will be now available in The Division sequel DLC.* - *EndWar must to be a reboot. This time, a new private military empire to seek a totalitarian new world order that military alliances to start the big conflict. Now, 7 military alliances joined together to stop an another bigger conflicts & topple down the military empire for good. Characters from Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon, Splinter Cell, The Division, H.A.W.X., Assassin's Creed (modern day), Far Cry & Watch Dogs will be seen in their bios as their commanders. Here some of 7 military alliances will be playable:* - *North American Joint Strike Force (JSF),* Canada & Mexico joining together with the United States. - *European Federation Enforcer Corps (EFEC),* United Kingdom & Ireland will officially returned to the EFEC. Israel, Turkey, Cyprus, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Armenia, Georgia & Ukraine among the countries joined the EFEC. - *Russian Federation Spetsnaz Guards Brigade (SGB),* CSTO joins SGB. - *South American Confederation Confederate Republic Forces (CRF),* Colombia & Brazil are co-de facto capitals. - *Middle Eastern Sultan's Coalition (MESU),* Saudi Arabia is the de facto leading country. - *Chinese Peoples Liberation Army (PLA)* - *Asian-Pacific Self-Defense Forces (APSDF),* Australia, New Zealand, India & United Koreas absorbed to the APSDF. Japan & United Koreas as their co-de facto countries.
i played a little baby bit of ghost recon splinter cell and rainbow six back in the day but didnt know what i was doing i only really started with div and wildlands
When I started playing the division 2 and the division itself I started playing at 1 year I believe it was in 2015 or 16 when my son got the flu to one year I've heard of Tom Clancy before that I never thought I was going to get into it and then all sudden I started playing the game after I bought it and it just grabbed the hold of me the entire story the way you were able to build your gear up and strengthen your guns and just the the all over way that you were able to do things in it and I've always been the third shooter type of person never first shooter whenever I got into this game and saw how cool it was and all that I never dropped the controller after that
I know they said the first Rainbow game was in New York, but its gotta relate to Bartlett University in Massachusetts right when Rainbow six siege was released. There is clear inspiration behind the original game and the first map in Rainbow Six siege.
I still don't understand how how the division has any connection to tom Clancy. Atleast ghost recon, rainbow six, hawx,splinter cell and endwar reference each other.
I’ve only played the Splinter Cell series since the first trilogy edition released. I’m wondering if the first game is seperated from Pandora Tomorrow onwards. The other games have clear connection to one another. But the first one feels like originally it was based on a book and later they decide to spin-off to a full series. That’s how I feel for someone who haven’t read any of the books or played the other games. 😅
The first TC game I ever played was Splinter Cell Conviction at my Uncle's house about 3/4 years ago. I didn't think it was bad. Though I didn't play much of it
I believe The Division 1 and 2 may be a scenario where Rainbow, the Ghosts, and 3rd/4th Echelon failed in their missions to protect the US and world from attack. PS: Love your content, you feel like the "MyNameIsByf" or Myelin Games (both Destiny lore nerds) of the Clancyverse Games!
Yep, thus splitting the continuities in two. Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon and Splinter Cell on one. While the Division 1 and rests on the other. As it should be.
Hey, I wanted to reach out and let you know that the statement about Elite Squad not fitting into the timeline isn't entirely correct. I can actually provide you with resources and information from the game to give you the whole picture how it fits into the timeline and the major players involved. If you are interested, let me know and I'll compile it for you. The story actually primarily revolved around the events of The Division and gets pretty interesting.
Man i cant even remember the title of the first ghist recon game i played back in like 2005 or 6. All i know is that it was on the O.G. Xbox. I stopped playing tom clancy games after rainbowsix vegas 2 cause every game after that just bored me. A guy at work got me into the division literally a week ago and im genuinely addicted
I started with Rainbow Six for the Nintendo 64, then played R6 1, 2, and 3, and all expansions for them. Skipped Lockdown, played but lost interest in Rainbow Six Vegas, and didn't bother with the series ever since due to Ubisoft's loss of vision and gutting the series of what made it special. Splinter Cell, I've played and finished every game in the series except for Double Agent. Ghost Recon, I played a little bit of the first game, but didn't get into it until Wildlands. It and breakpoint are the only two Tom Clancy games I play now. Would love to see Ubisoft stop using his name to sell video games, as they have lost touch in what kinds of stories he's told.
I kept dying on the original R6 from a Gaming Cafe near Uni decades ago. Then I micro managed my way into Ghost Recon when I got a beefier PC then. And well we can now write off elite squad :D They've shut off the servers (damnit, I've plunked down some cash in that game)
I've heard it said in other videos that the division is not in the same universe as the other clancy titles. Their claim was the developer made that statement.
My head cannon dictates that The Division was a divergence of the timeline. Making it an alternate timeline. Hell, maybe there are Ghost/Rainbow/Echelon operators that are now Division Agents littered across The World, protecting what remains.
Never thought how messed up it must be to live in the Clancyverse where there's a new terrorist or military plot for world destruction or domination every other month,and where WW3 has already happened multiple times
End wars has multiple endings too, even if more later games reference to it, they'll have to rewrite the Endwar storyline to fit the continuing universe. I do want to see the uplink system play more roles in the other games. Chaos Theory was my first game, I really wanted to play one of the Ghost Recon game that takes place concurrently, but I didn't have the version differences was to confusing at the time. As much as I like Sam Fisher, I hope they retire him into an arm chair role already. He was already getting up there in age during Chaos Theory, he should be enjoying retirement fishing on his private boat in 2025.
for a guy that has sold so many books that have characters crossing over from each one you would think there would be more than none videos talking about his books
Ok, so you mentioned Operation Amber Sky from Breakpoint and include Rainbow Six Siege and Sam Fisher having to stop the production of the gas from wiping out humanity, wouldn't that be similar to the Green Poison in the Division that actually did wipe out humanity? It's like you mentioned how timelines can change. Like everything is leading towards Division, especially when everything about Breakpoint (not including Operation Motherland) feels like The Division.
L have r6, ghost recon bold and the devision 1,2 and l can say that l am feeling little creeps and real excitement from knowing that they are only one virus and island from nomad(leader of ghost recon) joining the devision if there is outbreak of virus or joining r6 if it needs to. Or how Saw Fisher could be one of the devision agents or even how the whole r6 teams to be fighting in the devision timeline and we just still to not know it
it would be something though to have the Ghosts, Rainbow, and/or Splinter Cell to show up in either NY or DC during The Division timeline. Honestly, Amhurst could have worked on the nerve gas agent before choosing to work on his own. What it was like in 2025 may not have been able to be possible without his initial contact in some form or fashion 10 or 15 years beforehand. Maybe a conflict with how his work was being used set him on the path to building the dollar flu.
Splinter cell 1 take place four years before ghost recon 1 and rainbow six take place before ghost recon and splinter cell they take place before endwar and the division that was a tom Clancy timeline
Division virus only got hit in the US and it can still make sense because with the new rainbow six game (quarantine) we have an alien virus thats being somewhat contained in places in the US and you also had a small breakout with the chimera event ages ago but you dont see ghosts/hawks/splinter cell agents get involved. Also say what you will but the tom clancy games also connected with far cry games which themselves are connected to assassins creed and watch dogs. Division virus (lasted about year really)1st game - 2015. 2nd game - a few months after. 3rd game aint even released.
I’ve been playing Tom Clancy games since the originals way back and I can’t say I’m happy where Ubisoft has taken the R6 and Ghost Recon franchises. I wish Red Storm would be key decision makers as they know or knew best. Now, its just a fancy word they that’s used for marketing. Maybe GR:Breakpoint drastic change since launch could be almost a turnaround but we’ll see. R6 is just not what it should be. R6: Vegas 1 & 2 were the best but umm I may be biased. SC is no show and that should be a more linear story-driven game. ;-) I only care about R^, GR, SC, and TD as they respect the Tom Clancy name…. Well more or less.
Well, since it's YouBuySoft and not anyone who actually understands Tom Clancy's works that's writing these stories, I'm constantly pretty underwhelmed

That's why it is consensus among fans that only Rainbow, Splitter Cell, Ghosts and Hawx share a connection.
The only connected games are ghost recon, rainbow and splinter cell, all the others are different universes, but those are connected
@@michael-dumbleyI think far cry, assassins creed and watch dogs are also in the same universe.

Like "oh you want a new Splinter cell, well here's a TC themed Valorant (Xdefiant) and GR Frontline which is just a rip off Warzone".
My first tc game was the division 1 and I have loved the series a lot so much to the point where I accidentally made it to the top 15% of kills in the division 2
Thank you for all you do, I love your content.
Thanks mate, I'm glad people still find my... slightly different style of content interesting 😊
I have never heard of Endwar or Hawx, elite squad I have but ain't played
Hawx was an ace combat like arcade flight simulator. It was released during the PS3/360 era. Its an amazing game and one of my fav og games.
@@Canadian_Ale so ace combat and project wingman?
I started playing Tom Clancy games way back with one of the Splinter Cell games. Didn't understand it or enjoyed it cuz I was little. Then in 2010 or 11 I got Ghost Recon Predator on the PSP which is where I actually started to like Tom Clancy games. GR Predator is also why I like Ghost Recon the most out of all the Tom Clancy games with connecting stories.
Played R6 on N64 (talk about old school), and later a little of R6 Vegas with a bud. Heavily the Division and only recently getting into Wildlands which I wanted before I got hooked on Division streams. May give Breakpoint a run before Heartland but we'll see.
The Division does exist in the Tom Clancy universe, it’s just that the pandemic didn’t happen. They were mentioned in the book Splinter Cell Firewall which is canon to the Tom Clancy universe
Great video, I still have the discs for the original rainbow 6 and it's dlc 😊. What other Tom Clancy book would make games that could work in the time line you suggest in this video?
I think it stands to reason that The Division as an organization probably still exists in this universe, even if the events of the games don’t
It’s a shame hawx isn’t available for Xbox anymore, always was obsessed with that game
The first Hawx game and variety of other Tom Clancy games are playable via the Xbox’s backwards compatibility, so you can play them on the Xbox Series X/S consoles.
@@user-MidwayDisc I’m talking about available on the Xbox store
Played Rainbow Six on windows 98. Read the books n all.
Game development from Ubisoft's standpoint is to make a fun game, opposed to sticking to any Clancyverse type structured lore. For better or worse.
So far, I think the shared Clancyverse only interests Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon, Splinter Cell, and HAWX (we've had multiple crossovers and crossreferences between Ghost Recon, Splinter Cell and Rainbow Six, and HAWX was born, as you said, to support Ghost Recons).
EndWar was an alternate history situation that branches off from the R6/GR Clancyverse, but given that the game ends with nuclear annihilation of either factions (and that the Rainbow and Ghosts end up being on opposite fronts and thus one or the other gets annihilated even before GR:Breakpoint is supposed to happen), I'd say it's meant to be a separate road to explore the RTS possibilities of a East-West conflict within the Tom Clancy franchise, probably inspired by Clancy's books like "The Bear and the Dragon" or "Red Storm Rising".
As for The Division, that's an entirely different Universe, and in fact the game basically has no other Clancyverse references (except for small easter eggs) and is not referenced in any other Tom Clancy games (except for some promotional skins for guns and gear in Ghost Recon Wildlands).
This universe has so much potential
I love your videos with facts and theories. I have one for you and I would love to hear your thoughts on it: What if Hitman (2016 series) and Ghost Recon (Wildlands & Breakpoint) are set in the same universe? I speculate Diana Burnwood and Karen Bowman are the same person. They are both voiced by the same actress. Their jobs are basically the same - espionage - collate intel from around the world and provide target information to an assassin (Agent 47) or to a squad (Ghost Team). We know the name 'Karen' is an alias. We have heard Sam Fisher call her 'Linda'. Maybe 'Diana' is also an alias. Diana and Karen may look a little different but maybe she is a master of disguise. Finally, In GR:Wildlands mission Operation Archangel, when Ghost Team is searching for Caveira's brother in an apartment, we see a suit very similar to what Hitman wears. This is an easter egg but it only adds fuel this speculation.
I started with the REAL Rainbow 6 (Online and offline) and Ghost Recon :)
Here some of the my lore rumors to be seen in the Clancyverse:
- *Rainbow Six seeks help from Scott Mitchell to send Ghost Recon teams to joining with Rainbow Six to neutralizing the members of the White Masks. Kozak, 30K, Pepper, Nomad, Fury, Vasily & Fixit as their new operators in the Rainbow Six: Siege DLC. Some of the cosmetics from the Future Soldier will be applied on all Rainbow Six operators.*
- *The Division alongside w/ Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon & the Forth Echelon formed a joint operations team to eliminate a bioterrorist organization that created a "Million Dollar Flu" Virus that spreads the whole entire planet & rescue doctors & scientists that created a new flu vaccine to end the global pandemic. Weapons & equipment from Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon & Splinter Cell will be now available in The Division sequel DLC.*
- *EndWar must to be a reboot. This time, a new private military empire to seek a totalitarian new world order that military alliances to start the big conflict. Now, 7 military alliances joined together to stop an another bigger conflicts & topple down the military empire for good. Characters from Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon, Splinter Cell, The Division, H.A.W.X., Assassin's Creed (modern day), Far Cry & Watch Dogs will be seen in their bios as their commanders. Here some of 7 military alliances will be playable:*
- *North American Joint Strike Force (JSF),* Canada & Mexico joining together with the United States.
- *European Federation Enforcer Corps (EFEC),* United Kingdom & Ireland will officially returned to the EFEC. Israel, Turkey, Cyprus, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Armenia, Georgia & Ukraine among the countries joined the EFEC.
- *Russian Federation Spetsnaz Guards Brigade (SGB),* CSTO joins SGB.
- *South American Confederation Confederate Republic Forces (CRF),* Colombia & Brazil are co-de facto capitals.
- *Middle Eastern Sultan's Coalition (MESU),* Saudi Arabia is the de facto leading country.
- *Chinese Peoples Liberation Army (PLA)*
- *Asian-Pacific Self-Defense Forces (APSDF),* Australia, New Zealand, India & United Koreas absorbed to the APSDF. Japan & United Koreas as their co-de facto countries.
i played a little baby bit of ghost recon splinter cell and rainbow six back in the day but didnt know what i was doing i only really started with div and wildlands
When I started playing the division 2 and the division itself I started playing at 1 year I believe it was in 2015 or 16 when my son got the flu to one year I've heard of Tom Clancy before that I never thought I was going to get into it and then all sudden I started playing the game after I bought it and it just grabbed the hold of me the entire story the way you were able to build your gear up and strengthen your guns and just the the all over way that you were able to do things in it and I've always been the third shooter type of person never first shooter whenever I got into this game and saw how cool it was and all that I never dropped the controller after that
The Timeline might get weirder now with Ghost Recon Frontline and Rainbow Six Extraction coming out eventually.
Extraction, and Operation: Outbreak, the event it's a sequel to, were never cannon
I know they said the first Rainbow game was in New York, but its gotta relate to Bartlett University in Massachusetts right when Rainbow six siege was released. There is clear inspiration behind the original game and the first map in Rainbow Six siege.
The Splinter Cell games got me into Tom Clancy
I still don't understand how how the division has any connection to tom Clancy. Atleast ghost recon, rainbow six, hawx,splinter cell and endwar reference each other.
Been playing tom clancy since the OG Rainbow 6, and ghost recon days. I honestly miss the more milsim nature the games had back then.
I’ve only played the Splinter Cell series since the first trilogy edition released.
I’m wondering if the first game is seperated from Pandora Tomorrow onwards.
The other games have clear connection to one another.
But the first one feels like originally it was based on a book and later they decide to spin-off to a full series.
That’s how I feel for someone who haven’t read any of the books or played the other games. 😅
The first Tom Clancy game I played was Island Thunder on the OG Xbox, eons ago..
The first TC game I ever played was Splinter Cell Conviction at my Uncle's house about 3/4 years ago. I didn't think it was bad. Though I didn't play much of it
R6:S and The Division (1 and 2) are undoubtedly connected,with R6:S having JTF2 (Frost and Buck) and The Division has JTF (Joint Task Force)
Tom Clancy's games are so awesome.
the Division was my first in the Tom Clancy universe.
I believe The Division 1 and 2 may be a scenario where Rainbow, the Ghosts, and 3rd/4th Echelon failed in their missions to protect the US and world from attack.
PS: Love your content, you feel like the "MyNameIsByf" or Myelin Games (both Destiny lore nerds) of the Clancyverse Games!
Yep, thus splitting the continuities in two. Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon and Splinter Cell on one. While the Division 1 and rests on the other. As it should be.
Hey, I wanted to reach out and let you know that the statement about Elite Squad not fitting into the timeline isn't entirely correct. I can actually provide you with resources and information from the game to give you the whole picture how it fits into the timeline and the major players involved. If you are interested, let me know and I'll compile it for you. The story actually primarily revolved around the events of The Division and gets pretty interesting.
I was there, 3000 years ago...
Man i cant even remember the title of the first ghist recon game i played back in like 2005 or 6. All i know is that it was on the O.G. Xbox. I stopped playing tom clancy games after rainbowsix vegas 2 cause every game after that just bored me. A guy at work got me into the division literally a week ago and im genuinely addicted
I started with Rainbow Six for the Nintendo 64, then played R6 1, 2, and 3, and all expansions for them. Skipped Lockdown, played but lost interest in Rainbow Six Vegas, and didn't bother with the series ever since due to Ubisoft's loss of vision and gutting the series of what made it special.
Splinter Cell, I've played and finished every game in the series except for Double Agent. Ghost Recon, I played a little bit of the first game, but didn't get into it until Wildlands. It and breakpoint are the only two Tom Clancy games I play now. Would love to see Ubisoft stop using his name to sell video games, as they have lost touch in what kinds of stories he's told.
I kept dying on the original R6 from a Gaming Cafe near Uni decades ago. Then I micro managed my way into Ghost Recon when I got a beefier PC then. And well we can now write off elite squad :D They've shut off the servers (damnit, I've plunked down some cash in that game)
I've heard it said in other videos that the division is not in the same universe as the other clancy titles. Their claim was the developer made that statement.
This is correct
I love all Tom Clancy games
My head cannon dictates that The Division was a divergence of the timeline. Making it an alternate timeline.
Hell, maybe there are Ghost/Rainbow/Echelon operators that are now Division Agents littered across The World, protecting what remains.
Damn, i forgot about H.A.W.X. I really liked that game, had it on my iPod touch, lol. And Splinter Cell Conviction
I started play Tom clancy games since the frist rainbow 6 was released
Never thought how messed up it must be to live in the Clancyverse where there's a new terrorist or military plot for world destruction or domination every other month,and where WW3 has already happened multiple times
Babe NGN just posted a new vid
End wars has multiple endings too, even if more later games reference to it, they'll have to rewrite the Endwar storyline to fit the continuing universe. I do want to see the uplink system play more roles in the other games.
Chaos Theory was my first game, I really wanted to play one of the Ghost Recon game that takes place concurrently, but I didn't have the version differences was to confusing at the time.
As much as I like Sam Fisher, I hope they retire him into an arm chair role already. He was already getting up there in age during Chaos Theory, he should be enjoying retirement fishing on his private boat in 2025.
for a guy that has sold so many books that have characters crossing over from each one you would think there would be more than none videos talking about his books
i looked up his books in ten different ways and kept getting this
My apologies, I only cover the games 😅
Recently I just read Tom Clancy Code of Honor
Elite squad was canceled, it consumed a lot of battery of the cell phone and the game played itself.
Ok, so you mentioned Operation Amber Sky from Breakpoint and include Rainbow Six Siege and Sam Fisher having to stop the production of the gas from wiping out humanity, wouldn't that be similar to the Green Poison in the Division that actually did wipe out humanity? It's like you mentioned how timelines can change. Like everything is leading towards Division, especially when everything about Breakpoint (not including Operation Motherland) feels like The Division.
Man I loved EndWar. I thought that was such a cool setting and I loved the visual look of the game. Shame the game play was so weak killing the series
I started playing when Lockdown came out on the original Xbox
nice
L have r6, ghost recon bold and the devision 1,2 and l can say that l am feeling little creeps and real excitement from knowing that they are only one virus and island from nomad(leader of ghost recon) joining the devision if there is outbreak of virus or joining r6 if it needs to. Or how Saw Fisher could be one of the devision agents or even how the whole r6 teams to be fighting in the devision timeline and we just still to not know it
it would be something though to have the Ghosts, Rainbow, and/or Splinter Cell to show up in either NY or DC during The Division timeline.
Honestly, Amhurst could have worked on the nerve gas agent before choosing to work on his own.
What it was like in 2025 may not have been able to be possible without his initial contact in some form or fashion 10 or 15 years beforehand. Maybe a conflict with how his work was being used set him on the path to building the dollar flu.
Idk if you will see this but please can you make a updated version with Tom clancy rainbow six seige extract its connect also
I started with Rogue Spear!
None of them got me Hooked Like The Division did.
not gonna talk about how metal gear might be in the same universe?
So glad to see End War get the recognition it deserves
BRO i played ghost recon for hours with my cousin back when it was free on 360, and i swear i thought he was just a fictional character 😂
Isn't Team Rainbow a Nato force? Not US only? Or am I missing something? I mean that explains the soldiers nations.
What does NGN stand for?
Not Gonna Nut?
No Giant Nipples
LOL 😂
The division does not tie into the Clancy universe timeline, The division takes place in its own timeline.
Splinter cell 1 take place four years before ghost recon 1 and rainbow six take place before ghost recon and splinter cell they take place before endwar and the division that was a tom Clancy timeline
Wildlands has an Easter egg of the first division game, it was a radio call.. funny I played wildlands after Division.
Just got done watching “ without a remorse “ and no life. If they make sequels would be sick! Michael b Jordan was nice!
Division virus only got hit in the US and it can still make sense because with the new rainbow six game (quarantine) we have an alien virus thats being somewhat contained in places in the US and you also had a small breakout with the chimera event ages ago but you dont see ghosts/hawks/splinter cell agents get involved. Also say what you will but the tom clancy games also connected with far cry games which themselves are connected to assassins creed and watch dogs. Division virus (lasted about year really)1st game - 2015. 2nd game - a few months after. 3rd game aint even released.
Ubisoft can say they have their own universes but thats because they cant be arsed with lore in general just look at how they're handling the AC games
If Watch Dogs is part of the Clancyverse, it would not explain how Chicago seems to be fine in 2029 during the events in Legion.
Jack Ryan crossover when?
I’ve been playing Tom Clancy games since the originals way back and I can’t say I’m happy where Ubisoft has taken the R6 and Ghost Recon franchises. I wish Red Storm would be key decision makers as they know or knew best. Now, its just a fancy word they that’s used for marketing. Maybe GR:Breakpoint drastic change since launch could be almost a turnaround but we’ll see. R6 is just not what it should be. R6: Vegas 1 & 2 were the best but umm I may be biased. SC is no show and that should be a more linear story-driven game. ;-) I only care about R^, GR, SC, and TD as they respect the Tom Clancy name…. Well more or less.
I wish Tom Clancy only allowed his name on things he worked on it derectly related to his work, basically so Ubisoft didn't S**t on his name
NGN akways makes everything more intresting...
Well, since it's YouBuySoft and not anyone who actually understands Tom Clancy's works that's writing these stories, I'm constantly pretty underwhelmed
