Username- unknown Same i played the Open Beta with my buddies and i found the game pretty and intressting. Idk why people complain about the graphic Pc is great and Ps4/X Box one too. Looking forward to the 7 march 😍
Monkey D Luffy It that once you finish the game will become stale. But yes playing with friends seems to be more fun and have a longing effect. Like GTA.
That's about 104 hours, considering I took 11 hours to complete both these areas. I hope the missions are diverse with different objectives other than "Interrogate" or "kill"
It's good. Hopefully it's as good as it is in the beta. Driving, is very clunky... A fully armored SUV drives like a little smart car. Flying Controls are odd, but they work. Gunfights, are epic
Gunfights are slow, bullets travel at 50 m/s instead of 762 meters per second. Game is very bad in terms of physics. It's a bit pointless to purchase :/ Rip Ghost Recon.
since i cant do a review on steam i will be doing it here. As a ghost recon veteran since the first one, i quite enjoyed it. I realize times have changed and while i would've liked it to be more hardcore, more tactical but i was positively suprised at the challenge extreme difficulty gave me. I'm just going to do lazy oneline points now. -the vic handling was ok, it was not super bad, neither was it really good. it gets the job done and it's relatively easy to drive and fly 'well' as one might expect from a tier 1 black ops dude. -friendly ai was frustratingly inconsistant. Ubi specifically said that they dont want to make us micromanage so they took off some important controls while keeping none or few of the positives.c example nro 1. The ghost team is assaulting the church and flashing and clearing it, i command the ai to go behind the door to defend the location while i question a prisoner. as we take contact, the ai runs outside and dies when flooded by 10 sicarios. i get killed because i was dumb enough to stand in view of the door while questioning. I try again, this time telling them to hold position and it works flawlesly, the ai teammates kill anyone comign trough the door. perfect! example nro 2: there is a mission where we need to clear a building in 1.30 minutes and hack a computer. i set a c4 charge on the door, take cover and blow the door, flashing and shortly after going in the building. Once again, extreme difficulty gets the better of me and i get blasted in the face by an mpx. since these are the only type of houseclearing mission, being there is no doors in any of the houses except on these missions, I look foward on finishing the roomclearing since it is quite fun. I realize my ai are outside, some distance away. as the timer is about to run out, an AI suddenly teleports to me and revives me. as i get up, realize the whole house that was full of enemies just seconds before now only holds corpses. no bullets were fired, no grenades thrown. they just died so the ai could revive me. boring af! Enemy AI is okay, but there are glaring exceptions. if you shoot a dude that has not yet detected you, he instantly spots you and calls the whole cartel on your ass despite you being a klick away in a bush with a suppressed sniper rifle. you can hear on the comms they say: enemy is out of our reach to (compass point depending on your pos) and then proceed to run exactly into the spot you were in. Same thing with mortars. if you direct mortar fire towards your enemy, no matter your location, they will detect you. kinda negates the advantages of indirect fire imo. (also you cant direct it more than some 800m away from you despite the mortar being a huge ass 120mm heavy mortar) What i do like about the detection, is that once you are detected they will fucking chase you. its not like you can just hide in a bush for a minute and they will lose you. No, they can easily chase you for 15 minutes unless you run into a jungle or take off in a chopper or a boat. if you try to escape in a car, changes are you will run into patrolling cartel units looking for your ass. It's quite fun. almost like a little minigame on its own. the customization is very nice. the gunsmith is extensive and its easy to make gunsetups from spec ops groups from russia, US, canada or britain because of the vast amount of guns and attachments. applying paint on your guns is very nice. it gives me MOH: warfighter vibes when the whole gun is painted and not just the chassi like in GR:FS charactersmith is also very nice. there are enough options to make everything possible. i have minor gripes about the helmets. IMO there should be more ballistic helmets than just one and definetly more helmets overall than just 2. maybe 1-2 more oldschool type helmets like pasgt or ach or some other low-cut helmet and one more high-cut like the mich-2001. There are definelty not enough of vests. there are only 6 overall with 2/6 being variants of eachother. there is only one platecarrier which is what spec ops dudes would wear in a low-threat enviroment such as this. that was also some neverheard wierd looking 5.11 tactec, when it should've been a classic platecarrier used by actual militaries like the LBT-6094 or land-ciras. I liked the fact that you could change camos in all of the garments one chooses to wear, altough some of the camos look like shit. m81 looks like just generic woodlands and AOR2 looks more like discolored surpat and AOR1 looks like CADPAT TW with oversized pattern. My biggest gripe with the game which might make me leave this game on the shelf is that YOU CAN'T CUSTOMIZE YOUR AI TEAMMATES!!!11! this sucks ass for obious reasons. you might be a high speedo low drogo operator operating in the latest gear while your buddies run around in jeans and a bright flannel shirt. IMMERSION--GONE!! overall, im pretty neutral on this. i will definately not preorder it, i will wait to get a good deal on it. its fun but with some of the aspects, what i personally was looking for- that being playing solo and just miding my own business, operating with my operator (AI) friends and rp:ing like the little autist i am, will be hard to achieve. I do recommend to get it, it is still suprisingly solid game from ubi, and something you can rp with, fool around with your friends or go full autism and larp around with friends like you are seal team 4. and tbh, you might aswell preorder it because you will get more missions and the game will not change radically anymore. edit: rewrit the old retarted ending paragraph
also, i realize that i only focused on pure gameplay and not at performance or matchmaking but arma 3 has made me withstand 30fps and bad server joining.
Because it has to go through a bunch of testing before it's released to the public. Thus, the beta build we were building has actually been built quite some time ago and even if there are some minor glitches they find before opening the beta to the public, those will not be touched if they're not deemed critical or game breaking as fixing them can break an unknown amount of other things. The development and testing on the "final" build to be released in two weeks has been going on behind the scenes still and will have some refinement. Of course we won't know how much is changed until it hits, but this is how game (and software in general) development works.
I really, really wanted to hate this game, cause I do not really have a team to play with.. but DAMN! I just can't...Yes the driving is bad, but other than that, it's really fun to play. I look forward to the game, cause I think there will be a lot more in it than we saw in beta. Especially if they introduce PVP! Imagine quests like you have to transport someone from A to B, while an enemy team has to take the target out, or just defend/kill someone in a building.
I think your review is spot on. This game will hopefully get some dlc later to make it even better. I love Arma but this felt ten times more stable. It's a good start to a new era of open world Ghost Recon.
Overall, extremely fun, I will buy for sure as long they full game is largely the same as the beta. But here are some goods and bads: Major complaints that I hope they can fix: 1. The radios all around the world are so damn annoying, and the volume level doesnt change as you get closer or further away from the sound source. If I could turn radio volume to zero all the time I would. The radio content is so cheesy and annoying. (This is my biggest complaint, so that should say something). 2. Driving physics are pretty crappy, but that prob cant be fixed.. 3. The amount of patrol choppers in the difficult territory is ridiculous. Its artificial difficulty and completely unrealistic. I like the harder enemy's, that is a fun challenge. But having to deal with a chopper every time some sees me ruins the fun. 4. Vehicle damage is over the top.. If I barely tap a wall or car, the car looks totaled. Also, APCs do not have enough health. Small arms fire should not destroy an armored vehicle. Especially after a couple 100 rounds or so. Things they got right, please don't change on full release. 1. Targets are not bullet sponges!!! Thank you so much, I am sick of games making me shoot people mindlessly. So unrealistic and game breaking. The one shot sniping lets you play so tactically I love it. 2. No micro transactions for customization! Thank you, in todays day in age I expect shit games to make me pay more for the content the game should already give me for paying full price (Halo 5 for example). Dont mess this up or I will return immediately. 3. Map is huge and detailed. 4. Clothes are realistic and not cheesy. Thank you. Please dont add yeti consumes, or pink camos etc. Keep the guns and clothing realistic. 5. Graphics are good, very detailed character and gun models. 6. Night time is awesome. (Wish there was a way to pass time so I could plan certain attacks for night time only.)
People who say this game is like the Division... why?? This game is more like Far Cry than anything. It's Ghost Recon Far Cry. If you would enjoy that kind of game, you will enjoy this game.
FlyingTurtle this is a problem. You feed the devs and the overall team to produce more of the same stale product because it still sells to people like you
this game is like life is personal preference all you idiots jump on hate bandwagon and hate in almost any game cus it's already been done how many different game do you think the industry can make its got to be rinse and repeat because company's been making games for years now and have made everything you can think of making after playing the open beta I enjoyed the game does not feel new like all games but I had fun with it
Yeah enjoyed it well. And you can actually long range shot with carabines or assault rifles. And it works better like that then using them on close quarter battles.
makes sense. its the highlands of bolivia. imo sometimes there are just too many npc walking the sides of the roads in the nights. besides, if there was no empty land you would never have any place to traverse trough, not every place needs to be interesting and it is completely acceptable to have areas that are just for passing trough. it gives the map a sense of depth, realism and size.
The helicopter controls were just fine with M/KB. But I will say they're extremely odd and it feels like the game is trying to almost auto pilot for you. So it takes a bit to get used to. Not saying there's no room for improvement with the controls. They're functional at best. But they're plenty functional.
Besides being consistently kicked out of my squad and going back to singleplayer, the game is a lot of fun. I bloody love customization, and this game does it fantastically. You can apply your paint, but then go back into the parts and choose what colors each part is, so if you don't like your whole gun being camo you can change the the barrel, mag, whatever back to black or another color. Small details like that really help this game have a lot to offer, I could spend hours just customizing my gear. The swapping between first and third person for aiming is well done, and I think you covered pretty much everything else in your video.
Yeah only automatic doors. People inside can still spot u of u drive near them. It's not a disguise but just another way to the door. It's still pretty badass
I have noticed that all of the PC players are complaining and the console players are satisfied... I personally think this game is pretty good apart from the driving physics.
You can tell. People are complaining about graphics even though they have the best graphics card, and only PC players would do that. Some people specify if they are on PC.
I really have hate/love fielings about bot teammates, PROTIP! 1. get apc 2. drive to the middle off a camp (or any enemy location) 3. just sit in the apc 4 ...Profit!?
Mucheros you forgot to order them to attack. Yeah had that same mistake before. I guess Ubi placed that in so that AI wouldn't directly attack everything when you're still driving towards the location
The reason people don't trust Ubi isn't really the graphics, the graphics are an issue sometimes, but people don't trust Ubi because they are rapidly catching up to EA in terms of most evil game making company in terms of greedy corporate cash grab pay to win nonsense. Wildlands aside (we won't know for sure till it comes out in full), a lot of people have sworn off UBI because of a string of games that are clearly cranked out to market in an industrial fashion, meant to sell preorders, then deliver a phoned in game. I myself will not touch this till it's been reviewed by people I trust. :)
Yeah, in general, I won't bother with an Ubi or EA game till it's vetted with a good review. I mean look at For honors server issues... Shit server connectivity? Check Pay to win Cash store in a competitive multiplayer game: Check If I knew nothing else about the game, that would be enough to make me swear off ever playing it.
so the heli system works in 2 modes. Hover & cruise. Hover mode is the one you start with, basically pitch change is small, suited for landing. The cruise mode is when you combine pitching and throttling. You get into cruise mode by pitching forward and holding throttle at the same time. By one point your heli will start flying at high speed, noticible when you notice your heli start losing altitude. No need to panic, just release the pitch and hold the throttle, your heki will hold altitude while crusing at high speed. In this mode, you can still change your height bybusing the pitch. As mentioned, cruise mode + forward pitch = dropping altitude. Thus, pitching backward while crusing gains altitude. When you've cruised to about 300m away from your destination, you can release throttle to goback into hover.
I love the Flight Modes! If you know that, when you switch from "hover" to "flight", the nose of the helicopter wipes down, then it is totally easy to fly with the helicopters. You can do incredibly good flight maneuvers, some exercise is only necessary.
I have a 1070 and i7 6700k, and I had to play the game in medium to high settings on 1080p, I should be able to play any game on ultra 1080p. Game definitely needs some optimization, but hey it's a beta, that's what there for.
Get an amd processor, that way you'll get 70 fps like me, or maybe just get a brain? Because you must be lacking in that department some way or another getting that shitty performance.
Jake Gray you must not have played Arma or Squad if you consider this a "realistic open world military shooter" . To me this game feels like Far cry/division shit arcade feeling game. Idk maybe I just have too much salt.
When flying a helicopter this is how you go: gain speed by diving your nose while holding pitch up. Once the helicopter starts loosing altitude use pitch down to level the helicopter. When it's leveled let go of all buttons except pitch up and the helicopter will fly straight and level and actually be maneuverable. Once you get the hang of it, it gets real fun to fly.
I've played the demo for about 4 or so hours already, so let me share my honest opinions. The driving is terrible. Input lag is outrageous on some cars; it feels like they ripped the driving mechanics from Just Cause 3. The gameplay is okay. I like how I feel encouraged to scope out large areas and use stealth instead of going in guns blazing, but the cover system feels very rushed and not fluid. On the flip side, using a cover system that was present in The Division would essentially render this game The Division 2.0 since both games have other mechanics that are very similar. The playable area has a lot of wasted space, often I find myself driving through an empty void with nothing to do between two different areas, this was also a con in The Division. This could have been mitigated with beautiful landscape, but I find the landscape design to be lackluster. Nothing catches my eye and makes me think "Wow this game is gorgeous.".
About the Helicopters, they have two modes (which sadly isn't expalined by the Game) but once you realized it they are extremly easy to control. So, first mode (im going with PC Keys since I played on PC): Start/Landing/more accurate control In this Mode you have to press shift to gain altitude. when you know press W the Helicopter will start to gain speed but as soon as you let go of W it will stop. Now the second mode: Flightmode The transition between the two is seamless but you have to realize it happened or you will screw up. After you started your flight and press shift+w you slowly will gain speed and the nose of your helicopter will point downwards. When the Helicopter transitions into the flight mode the nose will for a very short time go up and then immidialty go down again. Once this happened your Helicopter now is in Flight Mode and you have to let go of W but continue to press Shift. If keep Shift pressed the Helicopter will continue to fly at maximum speed at the same altitude. W and S are now only used to change the altitude. So in this Mode the Helicopter is flying exactly like Planes in Wildlands. If you let go of Shift the Helicopter will switch back into the first Mode and you can land safly.
Tried to play it with 2 friends and couldn't take anymore than half an hour. Absolute abomination of a game imo and I usually really like this type of game, was hyped for this but they fucked up so bad I couldn't believe it. Feels like it was released a decade ago.
The' HappyGamer most of the people who say the game is repetitive and easy play on arcade mode and 1 shot every enemy the way to have fun and play the game is on the hardest difficulty and no HUD
The helicopter controls are contextual sort of like the cover system. So I'm going to share a little "How-To" to clarify some things. Use Shift to take off and you'll be in hover mode. When you get to the height you want you then hold Shift + W for about 2-3 seconds to switch to flight mode. You can tell because the camera will change perspective. When this happens you only need to hold Shift to fly the chopper straight. To go higher you also hold S and to go lower you also hold W. You turn by also holding A or D. To do a sharper turn you also hold A or D and S. To land you hold Ctrl till it changes back to hover mode and then descend with Ctrl. If you find you're having trouble noticing the switch to flight mode you can move your camera so it's facing the bottom of the helicopter. This will make it easier as when the mode switches it will change to show the top of the chopper automatically.
The chopper flying is very controllable but it's more easy than realistic. You should move forward with shift and keep shift pressed and after it dips you can release forward and as long as you keep shift pressed you go forward and than forward is lower backwards is higher(while keeping forward momentum) its more for casual/good looking.
MrJbedo I mean there are encounters throughout the map any a lot of different bases to attack as you head from mission to mission and GTA is the same so I mean GTA has thrived for almost 4-5 years so I'm sure this game will do well
Gta is a multiplayer game this game is a game you play one play through with your friends once and then it's sits in dust till you bring it back to game stop for 5$
I like when you get into random battles in the street. Many people think this game looks repetitive, but it's certainly not. There is a lot to do. Definitely play on the harder difficulties for more fun.
Best PC preview of a game ever made, very detailed! I agree that this game is beautiful and so fucking fun to play. Extreme difficulty all the way! The blackhawks were flyable but the little birds...
I had that running glitch as well. But to comment on the helicopters it is a bit easier on PS4, at least for me. I've heard some complaints from people I've played with that say it is annoying and confusing. The one thing I wish they would add to helicopters would be first person with some sort of sights so if it has a rocket pod or miniguns, you know where you're aiming. Thank you for showing how fun this game can be, I enjoy it so far.
in beta I learned that in the helicopter if you throttle and move forward to start a dive you will pick up speed. keep holding throttle and let go of the forward button and the heli will maintain speed and level out. make sure you're high enough up to pick up momentum or the helicopter will immediately pull back...
FPSTiger Yeah. I can run Steep on high at around 40-50 FPS with my 2gb GPU. This game graphics aren't any better, I shouldn't have to turn everything on low to play at 1080p 30 FPS :/
I thought flying was tough in the beginning. But once I "got it", it worked and I actually kind of liked the Helicopter controls more than the Cars. Basically, for the Helicopter you just need to continue holding Accelerate, unless you want to stop, Accelerate is NOT W, it's Shift, or Space, or w/e you use to take off. You only use W or S to tilt the helicopter forwards or backwards. So when you hold Shaift (or w/e) it prevents the chopper from flaring backwards, maintains your altitude and your speed. If you look at the controls for Helicopter W isn't "Forward" it's "Pitch Down" which means tip forward, this is why you KEEP going into a nose dive it you keep holding it. S isn't "Backwards" It's Pitch Up... The controls for the Helicopter worked perfectly if you just knew what they were....
Drewski I know how the helicopter flight works it's weird and not good but I figured it out, so once you go into that dive when flying forwards you have to let it dive for a second or two and then release W or up on the analog stick and it will still feel like it's in auto hover but it won't come to a stop it will keep its speed and continue to go forward as long as you have the throttle still going up, from there you can pretty much fly it how you want but the second you release throttle it will go back to its auto hover phase and kill your speed. :)
Between the closed and open beta I put in about 57 hours into the game and I gotta say I agree with everything you said in this video. I myself will playing it on launch day, I just love how you can be as serious or as goofy as you feel like (I play both ways) and I also really enjoy just kicking back and enjoying the scenery. I mean a lot of the time I was just exploring and taking in the view as well as murdering more than my fair share of llamas and flamingos.
I played it on extreme difficulty and I agree the enemy AI is way more sensitive to sound and aims alot better than in most games. However, I was able to finish so many objectives by just using the drone and the sync shot and the rebel help such as the mortar shot. At first I didn't try and use it but after awhile I just kept doing it cause it was hilarious. I would mark an enemy that was hiding behind cover way accross the map and my AI team mate shot him so quickly. And the fact that you can basically finish most of these objectives with you actually doing it is just hilarious. So yeah the game can be tough, like last night it me over half hour to take out one base in the new province, I wanted to be totally stealthy but at the same time the game just feels too easy at times. And the driving is just horrible haha
In all honesty I was overall impressed with the gameplay, my only concern about it was the driving and flying controls, it was really tough chasing down a hostile vehicle with a helicopter and made me a little frustrated. Other than that the gameplay was amazing, and I'm excited to pick up this copy on the 7th! Thoughts anyone?
You are spot on with vehicles. You are spot on with the controls for the helicopter. The current design just doesn't work. Please just make it like ARMA 3 or even Battlefield. Land vehicles are also not good. You can drive up a mountain no sweat, but the worst part is that there is no risk to just putting the pedal to the medal through downhill through a forest. These problems with vehicle controls are unnecessary in an otherwise immersive experience.
Great job on your review. I played the betas as well and agree with your comments. Especially, the chopper controls and driving cars down a mountain. Both need work but I'm still excited about the game coming out.
Hey man! Great video! I agree with 90% of what you said in this video. I play on console, PS4. I figured out what happens with the helicopter to make it work. (R2 is up, joystick is move) If you hold the joystick forward and r2. Then let go of the joystick, and not r2. The helicopter pulls back to cancel out DOWNWARD momentum. You maintain forward speed as long as you hold r2. If you pull the joystick back on your own the helicopter will slow to a hover, and begin to ascend. Let him know guys the helicopter is just a bit finicky
When flying the helicopters, treat it like flying a harrier jet in GTA. The helicopters have two modes, horizontal and vertical flight. Try to notice the transition from one mode to another, and you will not be so frustrated with flight. I spent all of my time flying during both betas and I enjoy the helicopters.
I felt your review was spot on! I'm came into the betas and with a healthy dose of skepticism due being burned by The Division but I enjoyed it enough to buy it. I do I agree with you're criticism of the flight modeling and vehicle physics here's hoping the address that with a fix sooner rather than later.
My absolute favourite moment playing the beta, that raised the mental score of the game by a lot was evading a UNIDAD patrol that was literally on me. I was playing with my wife as a squad of two and we were searching the outskirts of a town when we were suddenly spotted by a UNIDAD patrol coming round the corner. I downed this patrol quick-ish, but they managed to call HQ and another patrol was sent to investigate. I quickly hid in some bushes to investigate, while my wife was hiding on the nearby cliffs, doing drone reconnaisance. After not finding me at the site, the patrol unfortunately meanders off to the direction I'd hid (saw enough of these in the beta to know this was just bad luck on my part). I really didn't want to raise the alert level and they were in a tight group of four, so I was anxiously trying to decide what to do, while the enemy advances towards me at less than 20m. I then decided that I really want to test out the concealment system in the game, so I just lay as low to the ground as I can and try to wait them out. Holding my finger off the trigger took some willing, but it paid off! One of the enemies actually walked right by the bush I was in, brushing past it and pretty much literally standing on top of me at one point, but he did not spot me. I was wearing all ATACS gear, which really did blend in splendidly, but I'm pretty sure that doesn't really matter. It is a game after all and simulating the effects of camo is so hard, nothing properly does it yet. They stood there for a minute or so, but then decided we're long gone and took off. And like that, the situation was resolved with not a single shot fired (after the initial group) and we still remaining in the area. That's when I knew I was buying the game (or, well, two).
Excellent job; you've gained a subscriber! I downloaded the open beta this morning, and I personally don't understand all of the criticism this game is receiving. Granted; I know that Ubisoft has a history of taking a dump on its customers, but to me; this is shaping up to be a good one. (Minus the driving mechanics! LOL) To me; this game is a team base version of MGS V, but with a lot less repetitiveness and a more complete story. ...but I'm certain that it won't get any perfect 10 ratings. Let's be fair in our critiques people!!!
its a good game, but your lying if you arent saying its not repetitive, the whole interrogate this guy, or capture this, or kill that guy gets pretty boring after a while
This has got to be one of the best reviews of Ghost Recon I've seen yet. I'd have to agree with just about everything here. I didn't do closed beta but I did open beta honestly not expecting to enjoy it but I was curious. I don't have a regular group I play with but I did get to play some two man with my son which was a blast and a ton of AI squad play. By the end of beta I had pre-ordered my copy and now I can't wait for its release.
the helicopter flies fine on PS4. you push forward for a bit, it'll go forwards, then it'll dive, once it starts diving you just hold the throttle up button and you go forwards.
With the helicopter flying, in order to go forward, you have to dive down while pressing up for a bit, then let go and you should be able to go foward easily without pressing w
if you are playing with ai, you can mark up to three enemies at a time and order a sync shot from command menu thing, it actually works, the ai friendlies get into position before you even finish making
helicopters are easy! Shift is more of a toggle. You hold Shift + W, after the heli starts dipping down hard, you lay off W while still holding shift and boom, you'll be moving forward real fast and if you need to elevate just hold S (holding shift through all of this) and you'll tilt up perfectly. Easy, i had no problems with heli simulation. I thoroughly enjoyed it, but we need more barrel rolls.
VERY, VERY, good review of the open beta. You really explained how good this game can be. Not to mention, showing how diverse the game is. Many say, it's repetitive. I disagree. Cool channel! I'll sub!
if you record at 2k you can downscale it to 1080p and it will look better. However to get the full benefit upload at 2k with 50bit which is the actual limit of 2k for youtube. I do that in my airsoft videos.
I refused to absorb any data on the game until after I played the beta out. IMO, this is going to be a terrific game. I had a great time jamming around solo, had tons of fun playing with friends. I don't even meet the min-specs for the game to run, yet it ran flawlessly...albeit with fairly rough graphics, but that's my own fault. The helicopters have a really weird two-stage flight model, maybe like an Osprey with automatic rotor tilt at a certain speed. Once I figured it out, was easy to handle. I kind of assumed the vehicle controls were due to the use of A/S to steer, instead of a thumbstick with detailed turnrate. Oh, and I noticed the flip-to-side optics had a hard time syncing the zoom level to the animation/model state, would go backwards and zoom when it shouldn't, stuff like that. All in all, I really don't know what a lot of the fuss is about. Aside from those things, like...the game did exactly what it was supposed to, and I loved every minute of it. I look forward to obsessing over gun design and kit loadouts, finding vantage points for an afternoon of casual target practice at extended range, racing friends in those terrific sports cars...and occasionally, even playing the game properly. Like I said, I think this is gonna be a great game.
I got a feeling of games like, Farcry, Division, Mercenaries (Playground of Destruction)... ive messed around with the Uni"corn"dad's they have an Attack Heli and an MRAP style truck that will come after you on 4 patrols. Motorbikes are the shit, love them to death. the paradrop system is great, combat and stealh is fun as hell, i dont like the flight mechanics, i personally dont like it, but it still works well, the diverse envirnoment is great (jungle, desert, snow, etc.) also i agree with what you said about the difficulty, It takes alot more planning and teamwork to do a simple mission. the customization isn't the best ive seen but it is still very good, and ill let drew handle the graphics and shit.
Glad I got to play the BETA because I would have been mad at myself shelling out $80.00 Canadian for this second rate military version of a Far Cry game. So excited for Horizon Zero Dawn tomorrow!
I love this game, it's so much fun. I'm all about the customization, the gunplay is great as well! I can't wait to change my character and adapt to each region/situation. The missions may be very similar, but there's enough different ones that'll keep it fresh. Plus, you can role play as a different type of soldier each time. You can play as a ghillie sniper in the forest, a winter marksman in the snowy mountains and so on. The game is fun!
HUD and Markers off, Difficult High, gather Friends...and than yes..its realy good. The Beta was waayyy better than i ever would have expected. And it looks very good on PC.
I found this out accidently. If you leave a helicopter or armored vehicle usually Unidad will guard it and have a makeshift patrol. I crashed a helicopter and they reacted towards but when I was I flying they started running towards. It was hilarious
I mean I like it so far... It's really fun if you play it with people who work well together and people who are tactically smart. The customization is really good. I made a Marine Raider loudout.
Loved it. Day 1 cop. They need to tone down Unibad though, it's literally just wave after wave after wave not to mention the armed vechiles and copters they send in. Would be cool too if you could request an ammo drop
the helicopter is easy to fly - when you are in air - push W and Shift together untill it dives a bit and then stabilizes camera and dives again, let go of W while holding down shift - then you got a perfect controlled chopper. just wante to let you know - REALLY enjoyed the game but really hated the driving :D
I played this for 10 and i tought it was a bad game, so i stop.then i played it again and i found it good and addictive.i like the weapons and the upgrades.but flying needs to be improve.
RocKdBeSt999 I did the same. Played for 30 minutes the first time and was unimpressed.. I got on again and then I couldn't put it down especially once I played with friends. Still on the fence about buying it tho
While this game is not the super realistic tactical shooter a lot of us thought it was going to be, it still is a lot of fun to play. I personally compare this game to Far Cry 4 with a more sophisticated weapon dynamic. The way the map is laid out and how you can get the rebels to help you. Once you learn how to control your AI teammates, it's a lot of fun. I'm expecting at least 60-80 hours of game play.
IMO with HUD on (mainly enemy markers and minimap) Ghost difficulty is the way to go. Elite is better for no HUD though, the AI's reaction and accuracy is too much without being able to see them with a minimap or through walls. It's ridiculous, the split second they see you they hit you. Elite is just good enough for No HUD.
The game is 14x14 kilometers. Actually measurements are like 13.6 x13.8 or something according to a video that used the map. Might be off but probably not by much
Enemies on extreme were blind. I was crouched out in the open and as I spin camera I realise there is an enemy about 5m away, looking in my direction and didn't spot me. That was about 5 mins into game and destroyed any immersion.
The open beta surpassed my expectations for giant open world freedom and exploration with plenty of great character options, weapon options and nice camera view/control. The size of the map is something I would expect in an open world car game.
Hardest difficulty, turn off all your hud, get your best MILSIM buddies, THAT is how to play this game
Tom Eason exactly that's how I'm going to play this game for sure
Tom Eason what you playing on?
Me and 3 friends spent nearly 2 hours on one mission, having the HUD off is a pain but so damn cool
Indeed, the HUD is a point i shouldve made in the video. I dislike the HUD amount in the game because the game is so pretty XD
David Mc Cartney PC mate
I personally liked the game....i spent 30 mins in custimazion to make a perfect navy seal outfit......
Noreaga914 same dude😂😂😂😂
Noreaga914 I did the same thing haha
Noreaga914 same
Nathaniel North same here im on ps4. Zero Dark thirty. who wants to team up
Nathaniel North same here im on ps4. Zero Dark thirty who wants to team up ADD StillTooCold
idk how people can complain, game is fun as hell. and the beta alone is bigger than most games.
Username- unknown Same i played the Open Beta with my buddies and i found the game pretty and intressting. Idk why people complain about the graphic Pc is great and Ps4/X Box one too. Looking forward to the 7 march 😍
Monkey D Luffy It that once you finish the game will become stale. But yes playing with friends seems to be more fun and have a longing effect. Like GTA.
People complain because it's another shitty open world game with nothing to do, with the same old repetitive missions.
Username- unknown I thought the same thing when I first played this, but then I opened my eyes.
They say its shit cause they heard people say its shit.
in terms of diversity, you only played 2 areas, there's 25 more so it will be interesting to see the diversity in all the other regions
Hitman3000hawk Gaming 19*
19 regions
bbody1000 ???
That's about 104 hours, considering I took 11 hours to complete both these areas. I hope the missions are diverse with different objectives other than "Interrogate" or "kill"
Zax tbh i think they are and rarely they will change however I'm not hating I love the game
Needs a bit of tweaking but overall i found it brilliant, definetly not a let down
Doodle bear yeah
Ruins no, needs work yes.
dsa0224 I'm a pretty easy gamer to please. gimme a tonne of guns and a big map and I'm happy
went back and played mgs 5 after the beta and now im going to wait for a sale on this game. mgs 5 is so much more polished
Matthew Morvillo you are high
It's good. Hopefully it's as good as it is in the beta.
Driving, is very clunky... A fully armored SUV drives like a little smart car.
Flying Controls are odd, but they work.
Gunfights, are epic
Gunfights are slow, bullets travel at 50 m/s instead of 762 meters per second. Game is very bad in terms of physics. It's a bit pointless to purchase :/ Rip Ghost Recon.
i mean its still a really fun game. physics are cool and all but a fun game with decent physics is better then a boring game with perfect physics.
matty1053 ahahahaha he said gun fights are epic 😂😂😂👍🏽
since i cant do a review on steam i will be doing it here.
As a ghost recon veteran since the first one, i quite enjoyed it. I realize times have changed and while i would've liked it to be more hardcore, more tactical but i was positively suprised at the challenge extreme difficulty gave me.
I'm just going to do lazy oneline points now.
-the vic handling was ok, it was not super bad, neither was it really good. it gets the job done and it's relatively easy to drive and fly 'well' as one might expect from a tier 1 black ops dude.
-friendly ai was frustratingly inconsistant. Ubi specifically said that they dont want to make us micromanage so they took off some important controls while keeping none or few of the positives.c
example nro 1. The ghost team is assaulting the church and flashing and clearing it, i command the ai to go behind the door to defend the location while i question a prisoner. as we take contact, the ai runs outside and dies when flooded by 10 sicarios. i get killed because i was dumb enough to stand in view of the door while questioning.
I try again, this time telling them to hold position and it works flawlesly, the ai teammates kill anyone comign trough the door. perfect!
example nro 2:
there is a mission where we need to clear a building in 1.30 minutes and hack a computer.
i set a c4 charge on the door, take cover and blow the door, flashing and shortly after going in the building. Once again, extreme difficulty gets the better of me and i get blasted in the face by an mpx. since these are the only type of houseclearing mission, being there is no doors in any of the houses except on these missions, I look foward on finishing the roomclearing since it is quite fun.
I realize my ai are outside, some distance away. as the timer is about to run out, an AI suddenly teleports to me and revives me. as i get up, realize the whole house that was full of enemies just seconds before now only holds corpses. no bullets were fired, no grenades thrown. they just died so the ai could revive me. boring af!
Enemy AI is okay, but there are glaring exceptions.
if you shoot a dude that has not yet detected you, he instantly spots you and calls the whole cartel on your ass despite you being a klick away in a bush with a suppressed sniper rifle. you can hear on the comms they say: enemy is out of our reach to (compass point depending on your pos) and then proceed to run exactly into the spot you were in.
Same thing with mortars. if you direct mortar fire towards your enemy, no matter your location, they will detect you. kinda negates the advantages of indirect fire imo. (also you cant direct it more than some 800m away from you despite the mortar being a huge ass 120mm heavy mortar)
What i do like about the detection, is that once you are detected they will fucking chase you. its not like you can just hide in a bush for a minute and they will lose you. No, they can easily chase you for 15 minutes unless you run into a jungle or take off in a chopper or a boat. if you try to escape in a car, changes are you will run into patrolling cartel units looking for your ass. It's quite fun. almost like a little minigame on its own.
the customization is very nice. the gunsmith is extensive and its easy to make gunsetups from spec ops groups from russia, US, canada or britain because of the vast amount of guns and attachments. applying paint on your guns is very nice. it gives me MOH: warfighter vibes when the whole gun is painted and not just the chassi like in GR:FS charactersmith is also very nice. there are enough options to make everything possible. i have minor gripes about the helmets. IMO there should be more ballistic helmets than just one and definetly more helmets overall than just 2. maybe 1-2 more oldschool type helmets like pasgt or ach or some other low-cut helmet and one more high-cut like the mich-2001.
There are definelty not enough of vests. there are only 6 overall with 2/6 being variants of eachother. there is only one platecarrier which is what spec ops dudes would wear in a low-threat enviroment such as this. that was also some neverheard wierd looking 5.11 tactec, when it should've been a classic platecarrier used by actual militaries like the LBT-6094 or land-ciras.
I liked the fact that you could change camos in all of the garments one chooses to wear, altough some of the camos look like shit. m81 looks like just generic woodlands and AOR2 looks more like discolored surpat and AOR1 looks like CADPAT TW with oversized pattern.
My biggest gripe with the game which might make me leave this game on the shelf is that YOU CAN'T CUSTOMIZE YOUR AI TEAMMATES!!!11!
this sucks ass for obious reasons. you might be a high speedo low drogo operator operating in the latest gear while your buddies run around in jeans and a bright flannel shirt. IMMERSION--GONE!!
overall, im pretty neutral on this. i will definately not preorder it, i will wait to get a good deal on it. its fun but with some of the aspects, what i personally was looking for- that being playing solo and just miding my own business, operating with my operator (AI) friends and rp:ing like the little autist i am, will be hard to achieve.
I do recommend to get it, it is still suprisingly solid game from ubi, and something you can rp with, fool around with your friends or go full autism and larp around with friends like you are seal team 4.
and tbh, you might aswell preorder it because you will get more missions and the game will not change radically anymore.
edit: rewrit the old retarted ending paragraph
gonna bump this because i spent way too much time on this for it to get lost in the comment flood.
also, i realize that i only focused on pure gameplay and not at performance or matchmaking but arma 3 has made me withstand 30fps and bad server joining.
True, i really wanna customize the AI teammates. they're wearing tank tops on snowy mountains ffs
Great review! I'm also one fan of GR since the very first one...
You should try make a video and share your thoughts!
pikkuhakki2 noice
The dope outfits you can make is one of the reasons I'm gonna have to pick up this game
Gage Birchett same here
The driving is so bad lmao
yes, drive a van straight up a mountain with out any hiccups
Johnny Dingles I know it sucks but learning when to use the handbrake is the trick to making it doable.
and planes are hard to use. Helicopters are the easiest way to get around.
truuu
nah its hella fun drifting everywhere xD
Pretty scary that there's only like 2 weeks left and this is what the state of the beta is in...
Yeah, I'm just really excited for this game and the beta was okay but.. I'm glad to know that now though, thanks a lot man. :)
TrUmP iS LiTeralLy Hitler DURhurrr because the full game will most likely have the same bugs and glitches
fucking lul
Because it has to go through a bunch of testing before it's released to the public. Thus, the beta build we were building has actually been built quite some time ago and even if there are some minor glitches they find before opening the beta to the public, those will not be touched if they're not deemed critical or game breaking as fixing them can break an unknown amount of other things. The development and testing on the "final" build to be released in two weeks has been going on behind the scenes still and will have some refinement. Of course we won't know how much is changed until it hits, but this is how game (and software in general) development works.
Sam22112 Remember BF3 beta? players would look like they are 30 feet long and would sink into the ground......came out to be a great game
I was pleasantly surprised I was getting ready to be dissapointed
i know right xD
fucking hate it when ubisoft makes a good enough game.
Finally, someone who doesn't judge game on wether it is a ubisoft game or not. Great review!
I really, really wanted to hate this game, cause I do not really have a team to play with.. but DAMN! I just can't...Yes the driving is bad, but other than that, it's really fun to play. I look forward to the game, cause I think there will be a lot more in it than we saw in beta. Especially if they introduce PVP! Imagine quests like you have to transport someone from A to B, while an enemy team has to take the target out, or just defend/kill someone in a building.
I tought its bad untill I played it. I didnt had this good feeling in an action game in a long time.
the beta has done it for me. I'm buying.
TOMORROW IS THE DAY O_O
Too bad I will buy it a week later...
I think your review is spot on. This game will hopefully get some dlc later to make it even better. I love Arma but this felt ten times more stable. It's a good start to a new era of open world Ghost Recon.
Overall, extremely fun, I will buy for sure as long they full game is largely the same as the beta. But here are some goods and bads:
Major complaints that I hope they can fix:
1. The radios all around the world are so damn annoying, and the volume level doesnt change as you get closer or further away from the sound source. If I could turn radio volume to zero all the time I would. The radio content is so cheesy and annoying. (This is my biggest complaint, so that should say something).
2. Driving physics are pretty crappy, but that prob cant be fixed..
3. The amount of patrol choppers in the difficult territory is ridiculous. Its artificial difficulty and completely unrealistic. I like the harder enemy's, that is a fun challenge. But having to deal with a chopper every time some sees me ruins the fun.
4. Vehicle damage is over the top.. If I barely tap a wall or car, the car looks totaled. Also, APCs do not have enough health. Small arms fire should not destroy an armored vehicle. Especially after a couple 100 rounds or so.
Things they got right, please don't change on full release.
1. Targets are not bullet sponges!!! Thank you so much, I am sick of games making me shoot people mindlessly. So unrealistic and game breaking. The one shot sniping lets you play so tactically I love it.
2. No micro transactions for customization! Thank you, in todays day in age I expect shit games to make me pay more for the content the game should already give me for paying full price (Halo 5 for example). Dont mess this up or I will return immediately.
3. Map is huge and detailed.
4. Clothes are realistic and not cheesy. Thank you. Please dont add yeti consumes, or pink camos etc. Keep the guns and clothing realistic.
5. Graphics are good, very detailed character and gun models.
6. Night time is awesome. (Wish there was a way to pass time so I could plan certain attacks for night time only.)
Chosenhunter7 I like the passing time idea I love being sneaky at night
Agreed! Thanks for reading all the way to the end haha
they should have mini games inside a home base to pass the time till night lol
actually I think you can inside the base of operations
Chosenhunter7, They just added pink camo's, as well as transactions for customisation.. I'm sorry to ruin your dream, Ubisoft did it again..
People who say this game is like the Division... why?? This game is more like Far Cry than anything. It's Ghost Recon Far Cry. If you would enjoy that kind of game, you will enjoy this game.
I feel likes its a mixture between Far Cry and Metal Gear Solid
CrzBonKerz21 this game is what I wanted The Division to be.
After two hours of this beta I never wanted to play The Division again.
CrzBonKerz21 ikr I dont see anything like the division
"Ghost Recon Far Cry" ahhhahahha.... Its a tactical Just Cause!
Feels kinda stale and repetitive but ill probably get it anyway
FlyingTurtle just like every other gamer no matter how bad the game is people will still get it and still complain lmao
FlyingTurtle then your just telling ubisoft to make these repetitive games
FlyingTurtle this is a problem. You feed the devs and the overall team to produce more of the same stale product because it still sells to people like you
this game is like life is personal preference all you idiots jump on hate bandwagon and hate in almost any game cus it's already been done how many different game do you think the industry can make its got to be rinse and repeat because company's been making games for years now and have made everything you can think of making after playing the open beta I enjoyed the game does not feel new like all games but I had fun with it
NG HEADSHOTZ "hate bandwagon"?! Nothing bad was even said to call it "hate". Dude chill out.
I thought it was pretty fun
corps 21 same
me too!
Yeah enjoyed it well. And you can actually long range shot with carabines or assault rifles. And it works better like that then using them on close quarter battles.
Havock very true
Sniped U1872 yes they need to fix but the the crashing looks very good lol I swear you have to be using semi soft body phsyics
the map is basically gta v times 3
greg quick It's not as alive though. A ton of it is just empty area.
Comparing Bolivia to Los Santos is asinine
it's NOT GTA (good)
makes sense. its the highlands of bolivia. imo sometimes there are just too many npc walking the sides of the roads in the nights.
besides, if there was no empty land you would never have any place to traverse trough, not every place needs to be interesting and it is completely acceptable to have areas that are just for passing trough. it gives the map a sense of depth, realism and size.
jaangsee I'm talking about the map
The helicopter controls must be a pc thing because I have no trouble whatsoever on PS4. I can fully control a heli and do so often.
ShadowPulse02 I'm on psR and it's a bit wonky tbh
The helicopter controls were just fine with M/KB. But I will say they're extremely odd and it feels like the game is trying to almost auto pilot for you. So it takes a bit to get used to.
Not saying there's no room for improvement with the controls. They're functional at best. But they're plenty functional.
Besides being consistently kicked out of my squad and going back to singleplayer, the game is a lot of fun. I bloody love customization, and this game does it fantastically. You can apply your paint, but then go back into the parts and choose what colors each part is, so if you don't like your whole gun being camo you can change the the barrel, mag, whatever back to black or another color. Small details like that really help this game have a lot to offer, I could spend hours just customizing my gear. The swapping between first and third person for aiming is well done, and I think you covered pretty much everything else in your video.
Great review. Detailed and very fair!
I wonder if the cartel truck is able to be used to drive into enemy bases. They performed it well in the gameplay they showcased
DenNation You can, the doors will open..
Yeah only automatic doors. People inside can still spot u of u drive near them. It's not a disguise but just another way to the door. It's still pretty badass
Miss it already, luckily I bought the Gold Edition.
I have noticed that all of the PC players are complaining and the console players are satisfied... I personally think this game is pretty good apart from the driving physics.
You can tell. People are complaining about graphics even though they have the best graphics card, and only PC players would do that. Some people specify if they are on PC.
I really have hate/love fielings about bot teammates, PROTIP!
1. get apc
2. drive to the middle off a camp (or any enemy location)
3. just sit in the apc
4 ...Profit!?
Mucheros you forgot to order them to attack. Yeah had that same mistake before. I guess Ubi placed that in so that AI wouldn't directly attack everything when you're still driving towards the location
The reason people don't trust Ubi isn't really the graphics, the graphics are an issue sometimes, but people don't trust Ubi because they are rapidly catching up to EA in terms of most evil game making company in terms of greedy corporate cash grab pay to win nonsense.
Wildlands aside (we won't know for sure till it comes out in full), a lot of people have sworn off UBI because of a string of games that are clearly cranked out to market in an industrial fashion, meant to sell preorders, then deliver a phoned in game.
I myself will not touch this till it's been reviewed by people I trust.
:)
FateBinder UBI will never get $60 from me ever again. not until they prove they know what they are doing with servers.
Yeah, in general, I won't bother with an Ubi or EA game till it's vetted with a good review.
I mean look at For honors server issues...
Shit server connectivity? Check
Pay to win Cash store in a competitive multiplayer game: Check
If I knew nothing else about the game, that would be enough to make me swear off ever playing it.
Clearly you've never heard of Activision (Yes, I know they are a publisher but lets be honest they have a say in things)
FateBinder never had issues with for honor, its lit
so the heli system works in 2 modes. Hover & cruise. Hover mode is the one you start with, basically pitch change is small, suited for landing. The cruise mode is when you combine pitching and throttling. You get into cruise mode by pitching forward and holding throttle at the same time. By one point your heli will start flying at high speed, noticible when you notice your heli start losing altitude. No need to panic, just release the pitch and hold the throttle, your heki will hold altitude while crusing at high speed. In this mode, you can still change your height bybusing the pitch. As mentioned, cruise mode + forward pitch = dropping altitude. Thus, pitching backward while crusing gains altitude. When you've cruised to about 300m away from your destination, you can release throttle to goback into hover.
I love the Flight Modes!
If you know that, when you switch from "hover" to "flight", the nose of the helicopter wipes down, then it is totally easy to fly with the helicopters.
You can do incredibly good flight maneuvers, some exercise is only necessary.
If your game is running shit there are 3 reasons that might cause this .
1.U dont have NVIDIA
2.U have AMD
3.U have a potato
So I should get a GTX 560 to replace my 290?
u should always get nvidia
suomiman100 1070 gives70 fps at 1440
I have a 1070 and i7 6700k, and I had to play the game in medium to high settings on 1080p, I should be able to play any game on ultra 1080p. Game definitely needs some optimization, but hey it's a beta, that's what there for.
Get an amd processor, that way you'll get 70 fps like me, or maybe just get a brain? Because you must be lacking in that department some way or another getting that shitty performance.
If you're looking for GTA 6, sorry bud.
If you're looking for a realistic open world military shooter, Welcome to Wildlands.
not at all realistic.
Jake Gray you must not have played Arma or Squad if you consider this a "realistic open world military shooter" . To me this game feels like Far cry/division shit arcade feeling game. Idk maybe I just have too much salt.
Jordan Taranto still salty
Jake Gray if you're looking for a realistic open world, military shooter, join the fucking military.
It's fucking amazing
Shayne O'meara its average at best its definitely not amazing, unless your very young or new at gaming.
Shayne O'meara I am ten times smarter and more mature and it's a fucking great game, your clearly an inbred imbecile
PuppetMaster "I am ten times smarter... your clearly..." 👌
Ops Racing rofl
I wrote that on my tablet. *you're
When flying a helicopter this is how you go: gain speed by diving your nose while holding pitch up. Once the helicopter starts loosing altitude use pitch down to level the helicopter. When it's leveled let go of all buttons except pitch up and the helicopter will fly straight and level and actually be maneuverable. Once you get the hang of it, it gets real fun to fly.
I've played the demo for about 4 or so hours already, so let me share my honest opinions. The driving is terrible. Input lag is outrageous on some cars; it feels like they ripped the driving mechanics from Just Cause 3. The gameplay is okay. I like how I feel encouraged to scope out large areas and use stealth instead of going in guns blazing, but the cover system feels very rushed and not fluid. On the flip side, using a cover system that was present in The Division would essentially render this game The Division 2.0 since both games have other mechanics that are very similar. The playable area has a lot of wasted space, often I find myself driving through an empty void with nothing to do between two different areas, this was also a con in The Division. This could have been mitigated with beautiful landscape, but I find the landscape design to be lackluster. Nothing catches my eye and makes me think "Wow this game is gorgeous.".
About the Helicopters, they have two modes (which sadly isn't expalined by the Game) but once you realized it they are extremly easy to control.
So, first mode (im going with PC Keys since I played on PC): Start/Landing/more accurate control
In this Mode you have to press shift to gain altitude. when you know press W the Helicopter will start to gain speed but as soon as you let go of W it will stop.
Now the second mode: Flightmode
The transition between the two is seamless but you have to realize it happened or you will screw up. After you started your flight and press shift+w you slowly will gain speed and the nose of your helicopter will point downwards. When the Helicopter transitions into the flight mode the nose will for a very short time go up and then immidialty go down again. Once this happened your Helicopter now is in Flight Mode and you have to let go of W but continue to press Shift. If keep Shift pressed the Helicopter will continue to fly at maximum speed at the same altitude. W and S are now only used to change the altitude. So in this Mode the Helicopter is flying exactly like Planes in Wildlands. If you let go of Shift the Helicopter will switch back into the first Mode and you can land safly.
Tried to play it with 2 friends and couldn't take anymore than half an hour. Absolute abomination of a game imo and I usually really like this type of game, was hyped for this but they fucked up so bad I couldn't believe it. Feels like it was released a decade ago.
BananiaMan™ I played it with my friend and we got bored in less than 15 minutes after we stopped laughing at climbing up a mountain with a shitty car
i played it with a friend and we have 10+ hours and still have fun.
Disphoni cause you probably didnt play how it should be played
The' HappyGamer most of the people who say the game is repetitive and easy play on arcade mode and 1 shot every enemy the way to have fun and play the game is on the hardest difficulty and no HUD
I do the same :) Just with a friend ;) IzKwazza
The helicopter controls are contextual sort of like the cover system. So I'm going to share a little "How-To" to clarify some things.
Use Shift to take off and you'll be in hover mode. When you get to the height you want you then hold Shift + W for about 2-3 seconds to switch to flight mode. You can tell because the camera will change perspective.
When this happens you only need to hold Shift to fly the chopper straight. To go higher you also hold S and to go lower you also hold W. You turn by also holding A or D. To do a sharper turn you also hold A or D and S. To land you hold Ctrl till it changes back to hover mode and then descend with Ctrl.
If you find you're having trouble noticing the switch to flight mode you can move your camera so it's facing the bottom of the helicopter. This will make it easier as when the mode switches it will change to show the top of the chopper automatically.
im annoyed as shit about the ghillies
Brendan Doherty but you can use a ghillie pants and cover all your back
Meatman there is more than one. There is like 5 different ones
The chopper flying is very controllable but it's more easy than realistic. You should move forward with shift and keep shift pressed and after it dips you can release forward and as long as you keep shift pressed you go forward and than forward is lower backwards is higher(while keeping forward momentum) its more for casual/good looking.
the map is 3x bigger than GTA'S to put it in perspective
CheeseBurgerWithCheese but the worlds feel pretty damn empty.
MrJbedo that's what happens when people make maps this big
+MrJbedo so does GTA
MrJbedo I mean there are encounters throughout the map any a lot of different bases to attack as you head from mission to mission and GTA is the same so I mean GTA has thrived for almost 4-5 years so I'm sure this game will do well
Gta is a multiplayer game this game is a game you play one play through with your friends once and then it's sits in dust till you bring it back to game stop for 5$
I like when you get into random battles in the street. Many people think this game looks repetitive, but it's certainly not. There is a lot to do. Definitely play on the harder difficulties for more fun.
23:10 BF5 confirmed
TheDamnSwede lol
Best PC preview of a game ever made, very detailed! I agree that this game is beautiful and so fucking fun to play. Extreme difficulty all the way! The blackhawks were flyable but the little birds...
kinda reminds me of mercenaries. but I like it alot it's fun trying to do shit different ways.
but the driving sucks. an shooting attached weapons on helis kinda blow too...
James Smith Is it fun to play on your own? Cause I don't have online.
James Smith my exact thoughts
MrWulfric1 yeah it's alright
I had that running glitch as well. But to comment on the helicopters it is a bit easier on PS4, at least for me. I've heard some complaints from people I've played with that say it is annoying and confusing. The one thing I wish they would add to helicopters would be first person with some sort of sights so if it has a rocket pod or miniguns, you know where you're aiming. Thank you for showing how fun this game can be, I enjoy it so far.
I didn't like it that much
I hope they let the driving better like forza horizon 3
in beta I learned that in the helicopter if you throttle and move forward to start a dive you will pick up speed. keep holding throttle and let go of the forward button and the heli will maintain speed and level out. make sure you're high enough up to pick up momentum or the helicopter will immediately pull back...
Runs like shit but pretty fun
FPSTiger Yeah. I can run Steep on high at around 40-50 FPS with my 2gb GPU. This game graphics aren't any better, I shouldn't have to turn everything on low to play at 1080p 30 FPS :/
FPSTiger i can run it 1440p 144fps i dont know what u are talking about
What GPU?
Tuiderru what GPU? I'm using a Fury X which should have no issue playing it but I have to set things to medium to get consistent 1080p60fps
FPSTiger I have a 1070 and it runs at 35-55 fps on ultra with stuttering lol, optimization sucks
I thought flying was tough in the beginning. But once I "got it", it worked and I actually kind of liked the Helicopter controls more than the Cars. Basically, for the Helicopter you just need to continue holding Accelerate, unless you want to stop, Accelerate is NOT W, it's Shift, or Space, or w/e you use to take off. You only use W or S to tilt the helicopter forwards or backwards. So when you hold Shaift (or w/e) it prevents the chopper from flaring backwards, maintains your altitude and your speed. If you look at the controls for Helicopter W isn't "Forward" it's "Pitch Down" which means tip forward, this is why you KEEP going into a nose dive it you keep holding it. S isn't "Backwards" It's Pitch Up... The controls for the Helicopter worked perfectly if you just knew what they were....
helicopters physics are good on console lol
You would understand what he means if you've ever played a game with realistic helicopter physics.
Levi B no they are not
They are far from it. They are terrible. If you try flying forward in a helicopter you will be going down instead of forward.
Drewski I know how the helicopter flight works it's weird and not good but I figured it out, so once you go into that dive when flying forwards you have to let it dive for a second or two and then release W or up on the analog stick and it will still feel like it's in auto hover but it won't come to a stop it will keep its speed and continue to go forward as long as you have the throttle still going up, from there you can pretty much fly it how you want but the second you release throttle it will go back to its auto hover phase and kill your speed. :)
exactly!! I figured this out too. Will you be buying the game? I played with AI and thought it was pretty fun and tactical
Gideon van Niekerk I loved the beta so I had to go buy the game after I finished playing XD can't wait to go and explore the new regions
It feels a lot like just cause 3 when you play it
FROST_ Yeah!
FROST_ its like divison..gta..and just cause.
nope only just cause at least from how I played it
Its a tactical Just Cause, correct and i love it!
Between the closed and open beta I put in about 57 hours into the game and I gotta say I agree with everything you said in this video. I myself will playing it on launch day, I just love how you can be as serious or as goofy as you feel like (I play both ways) and I also really enjoy just kicking back and enjoying the scenery. I mean a lot of the time I was just exploring and taking in the view as well as murdering more than my fair share of llamas and flamingos.
To me it feels like an Far Cry 4 update...
HOW ! do you get a Far Cry out of this game ?! how ?
Thexan It's a far cry. Hah.
The way the AI is, the driving, the flying, the whole gameplay is far cry 4, if you played far cry 4 and this beta you would know.
Thexan It feels like far cry + the division tbh
I played it on extreme difficulty and I agree the enemy AI is way more sensitive to sound and aims alot better than in most games. However, I was able to finish so many objectives by just using the drone and the sync shot and the rebel help such as the mortar shot. At first I didn't try and use it but after awhile I just kept doing it cause it was hilarious. I would mark an enemy that was hiding behind cover way accross the map and my AI team mate shot him so quickly. And the fact that you can basically finish most of these objectives with you actually doing it is just hilarious.
So yeah the game can be tough, like last night it me over half hour to take out one base in the new province, I wanted to be totally stealthy but at the same time the game just feels too easy at times. And the driving is just horrible haha
markieman999 turn hud off
"To have the best Wildlands experience go to PS4 Settings find the game, hit Options and press Delete" Boring ever game played...
World Guest why play it then?
Green pac man how would he know if he didn't play the game think before you talk
"Boring ever game played" :P
World Guest so let me guess you played on the easiest difficulty and didn't do any stealth
Yeah he is an idiot lol.
In all honesty I was overall impressed with the gameplay, my only concern about it was the driving and flying controls, it was really tough chasing down a hostile vehicle with a helicopter and made me a little frustrated. Other than that the gameplay was amazing, and I'm excited to pick up this copy on the 7th! Thoughts anyone?
This is the most excited and hyped I've been about a game in a long time.
You are spot on with vehicles.
You are spot on with the controls for the helicopter. The current design just doesn't work. Please just make it like ARMA 3 or even Battlefield.
Land vehicles are also not good. You can drive up a mountain no sweat, but the worst part is that there is no risk to just putting the pedal to the medal through downhill through a forest.
These problems with vehicle controls are unnecessary in an otherwise immersive experience.
Great job on your review. I played the betas as well and agree with your comments. Especially, the chopper controls and driving cars down a mountain. Both need work but I'm still excited about the game coming out.
Hey man! Great video! I agree with 90% of what you said in this video. I play on console, PS4. I figured out what happens with the helicopter to make it work. (R2 is up, joystick is move)
If you hold the joystick forward and r2. Then let go of the joystick, and not r2. The helicopter pulls back to cancel out DOWNWARD momentum. You maintain forward speed as long as you hold r2. If you pull the joystick back on your own the helicopter will slow to a hover, and begin to ascend. Let him know guys the helicopter is just a bit finicky
Note: the helicopter does slow for a moment after cancelling downward speed
It's a bit dumb but it works well once you understand the scheme
This video seriously needs much more views.
When flying the helicopters, treat it like flying a harrier jet in GTA. The helicopters have two modes, horizontal and vertical flight. Try to notice the transition from one mode to another, and you will not be so frustrated with flight. I spent all of my time flying during both betas and I enjoy the helicopters.
Amazing video, just the right amount of details and also dispelled many myths around graphics. And very entertaining also :)
I felt your review was spot on! I'm came into the betas and with a healthy dose of skepticism due being burned by The Division but I enjoyed it enough to buy it. I do I agree with you're criticism of the flight modeling and vehicle physics here's hoping the address that with a fix sooner rather than later.
My absolute favourite moment playing the beta, that raised the mental score of the game by a lot was evading a UNIDAD patrol that was literally on me. I was playing with my wife as a squad of two and we were searching the outskirts of a town when we were suddenly spotted by a UNIDAD patrol coming round the corner. I downed this patrol quick-ish, but they managed to call HQ and another patrol was sent to investigate.
I quickly hid in some bushes to investigate, while my wife was hiding on the nearby cliffs, doing drone reconnaisance. After not finding me at the site, the patrol unfortunately meanders off to the direction I'd hid (saw enough of these in the beta to know this was just bad luck on my part). I really didn't want to raise the alert level and they were in a tight group of four, so I was anxiously trying to decide what to do, while the enemy advances towards me at less than 20m.
I then decided that I really want to test out the concealment system in the game, so I just lay as low to the ground as I can and try to wait them out. Holding my finger off the trigger took some willing, but it paid off! One of the enemies actually walked right by the bush I was in, brushing past it and pretty much literally standing on top of me at one point, but he did not spot me. I was wearing all ATACS gear, which really did blend in splendidly, but I'm pretty sure that doesn't really matter. It is a game after all and simulating the effects of camo is so hard, nothing properly does it yet.
They stood there for a minute or so, but then decided we're long gone and took off. And like that, the situation was resolved with not a single shot fired (after the initial group) and we still remaining in the area. That's when I knew I was buying the game (or, well, two).
Excellent job; you've gained a subscriber! I downloaded the open beta this morning, and I personally don't understand all of the criticism this game is receiving. Granted; I know that Ubisoft has a history of taking a dump on its customers, but to me; this is shaping up to be a good one. (Minus the driving mechanics! LOL) To me; this game is a team base version of MGS V, but with a lot less repetitiveness and a more complete story. ...but I'm certain that it won't get any perfect 10 ratings. Let's be fair in our critiques people!!!
its a good game, but your lying if you arent saying its not repetitive, the whole interrogate this guy, or capture this, or kill that guy gets pretty boring after a while
This has got to be one of the best reviews of Ghost Recon I've seen yet. I'd have to agree with just about everything here. I didn't do closed beta but I did open beta honestly not expecting to enjoy it but I was curious. I don't have a regular group I play with but I did get to play some two man with my son which was a blast and a ton of AI squad play. By the end of beta I had pre-ordered my copy and now I can't wait for its release.
Such awes inspiring transition to snow that you can count the pixels in the snow. *Sarcasm*
the helicopter flies fine on PS4. you push forward for a bit, it'll go forwards, then it'll dive, once it starts diving you just hold the throttle up button and you go forwards.
With the helicopter flying, in order to go forward, you have to dive down while pressing up for a bit, then let go and you should be able to go foward easily without pressing w
if you are playing with ai, you can mark up to three enemies at a time and order a sync shot from command menu thing, it actually works, the ai friendlies get into position before you even finish making
helicopters are easy! Shift is more of a toggle. You hold Shift + W, after the heli starts dipping down hard, you lay off W while still holding shift and boom, you'll be moving forward real fast and if you need to elevate just hold S (holding shift through all of this) and you'll tilt up perfectly. Easy, i had no problems with heli simulation. I thoroughly enjoyed it, but we need more barrel rolls.
for anyone wanting to know the actual size of the map is roughly 31-32km, might be off by 1km at most. :)
I've noticed that in some loading screens, there are huge mansions that are guarded by gunmen. I'm excited to tackle some of those.
VERY, VERY, good review of the open beta. You really explained how good this game can be. Not to mention, showing how diverse the game is. Many say, it's repetitive. I disagree. Cool channel! I'll sub!
if you record at 2k you can downscale it to 1080p and it will look better. However to get the full benefit upload at 2k with 50bit which is the actual limit of 2k for youtube. I do that in my airsoft videos.
The game looks great. I pre purchased after playing the beta for 20 hours and loving it.
I refused to absorb any data on the game until after I played the beta out.
IMO, this is going to be a terrific game. I had a great time jamming around solo, had tons of fun playing with friends. I don't even meet the min-specs for the game to run, yet it ran flawlessly...albeit with fairly rough graphics, but that's my own fault.
The helicopters have a really weird two-stage flight model, maybe like an Osprey with automatic rotor tilt at a certain speed. Once I figured it out, was easy to handle. I kind of assumed the vehicle controls were due to the use of A/S to steer, instead of a thumbstick with detailed turnrate.
Oh, and I noticed the flip-to-side optics had a hard time syncing the zoom level to the animation/model state, would go backwards and zoom when it shouldn't, stuff like that.
All in all, I really don't know what a lot of the fuss is about. Aside from those things, like...the game did exactly what it was supposed to, and I loved every minute of it. I look forward to obsessing over gun design and kit loadouts, finding vantage points for an afternoon of casual target practice at extended range, racing friends in those terrific sports cars...and occasionally, even playing the game properly.
Like I said, I think this is gonna be a great game.
I got a feeling of games like, Farcry, Division, Mercenaries (Playground of Destruction)... ive messed around with the Uni"corn"dad's they have an Attack Heli and an MRAP style truck that will come after you on 4 patrols. Motorbikes are the shit, love them to death. the paradrop system is great, combat and stealh is fun as hell, i dont like the flight mechanics, i personally dont like it, but it still works well, the diverse envirnoment is great (jungle, desert, snow, etc.) also i agree with what you said about the difficulty, It takes alot more planning and teamwork to do a simple mission. the customization isn't the best ive seen but it is still very good, and ill let drew handle the graphics and shit.
Glad I got to play the BETA because I would have been mad at myself shelling out $80.00 Canadian for this second rate military version of a Far Cry game. So excited for Horizon Zero Dawn tomorrow!
I love this game, it's so much fun. I'm all about the customization, the gunplay is great as well! I can't wait to change my character and adapt to each region/situation. The missions may be very similar, but there's enough different ones that'll keep it fresh. Plus, you can role play as a different type of soldier each time. You can play as a ghillie sniper in the forest, a winter marksman in the snowy mountains and so on. The game is fun!
my opinion as a tom clancey fan the game isn't fun alone.... But when u have friends its the best Ubisoft game....
HUD and Markers off, Difficult High, gather Friends...and than yes..its realy good. The Beta was waayyy better than i ever would have expected. And it looks very good on PC.
I found this out accidently. If you leave a helicopter or armored vehicle usually Unidad will guard it and have a makeshift patrol. I crashed a helicopter and they reacted towards but when I was I flying they started running towards. It was hilarious
when you get the lads on and put the extreme difficulty on. I'm buying this game
I mean I like it so far... It's really fun if you play it with people who work well together and people who are tactically smart. The customization is really good. I made a Marine Raider loudout.
I drove a motorcycle off the top of a mountain, no damage taken and bike perfectly intact.
I drove a motorcycle off a small cliff, i didnt hit anything on the way down, yet i went flying off my bike and then died when i hit the ground 10/10
Touched a car with a tree and it made my car look like someone dropped an APC on it.
Loved it. Day 1 cop.
They need to tone down Unibad though, it's literally just wave after wave after wave not to mention the armed vechiles and copters they send in.
Would be cool too if you could request an ammo drop
the helicopter is easy to fly - when you are in air - push W and Shift together untill it dives a bit and then stabilizes camera and dives again, let go of W while holding down shift - then you got a perfect controlled chopper. just wante to let you know - REALLY enjoyed the game but really hated the driving :D
I played this for 10 and i tought it was a bad game, so i stop.then i played it again and i found it good and addictive.i like the weapons and the upgrades.but flying needs to be improve.
RocKdBeSt999 I did the same. Played for 30 minutes the first time and was unimpressed.. I got on again and then I couldn't put it down especially once I played with friends. Still on the fence about buying it tho
After spending time of creating my character as if I'm really in the military I enjoyed the game. Best military game I've played since Battlefield 1.
Driving down hills with a dirtbike is the derpiest thing ever, but I loved the beta from what i played of it.
While this game is not the super realistic tactical shooter a lot of us thought it was going to be, it still is a lot of fun to play. I personally compare this game to Far Cry 4 with a more sophisticated weapon dynamic. The way the map is laid out and how you can get the rebels to help you. Once you learn how to control your AI teammates, it's a lot of fun. I'm expecting at least 60-80 hours of game play.
Just subscribed I love what you're doing, hopefully you do a lot of this game when it comes out.
+Universal Gamer 101 thank you :)
IMO with HUD on (mainly enemy markers and minimap) Ghost difficulty is the way to go. Elite is better for no HUD though, the AI's reaction and accuracy is too much without being able to see them with a minimap or through walls. It's ridiculous, the split second they see you they hit you. Elite is just good enough for No HUD.
The game is 14x14 kilometers. Actually measurements are like 13.6 x13.8 or something according to a video that used the map. Might be off but probably not by much
I have play over 25h on this open bêta and damn i cant wait to have it home!
Enemies on extreme were blind. I was crouched out in the open and as I spin camera I realise there is an enemy about 5m away, looking in my direction and didn't spot me. That was about 5 mins into game and destroyed any immersion.
Something that bugged me was the skydiving, it's more like a wing-suit. Beta was really fun though.
The open beta surpassed my expectations for giant open world freedom and exploration with plenty of great character options, weapon options and nice camera view/control. The size of the map is something I would expect in an open world car game.
