Ghost Recon Wildlands PvP is 180

The tactics you have to use to consistently succeed mirror real world military tactics closer than any other video game I've played. Also, judging from the online chat, a fair number of players are IRL military bros who are fun to talk to. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3854114&forum_id=2).#35116539) |

Date: January 9th, 2018 10:30 AM Author: histrionic rough-skinned pervert whorehouse No it's totally different actually. There's no gay weapons upgrades or mods either really. Advancing just allows you to unlock additional player classes. Just pay $15 to unlock Predator class and you basically have 90% of what people at level 45 have.
You do need a decent gaming headset though because you have to listen for enemy footsteps a lot. |

Date: January 9th, 2018 10:34 AM Author: histrionic rough-skinned pervert whorehouse It is very slow paced, but even after you die you can still talk to dudes who are alive and look over their shoulders to spot enemies. Also there is always a chance they'll resurrect you if the enemy isn't camping your body or hasn't booby trapped it. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3854114&forum_id=2).#35116579) |

Date: January 9th, 2018 11:02 AM Author: histrionic rough-skinned pervert whorehouse The "realism" in this game is implemented in intriguing ways. Like, whenever you shoot a non-silenced gun (basically anything but a handgun), you briefly alert the enemy to your position. You don't totally give away your position, but it gives them an idea of where to look so you really have to think hard before you pull the trigger. Drones can be useful for drawing enemy fire, and there is one character class called the tank who's main job is literally to get shot at so that your teammates can try to locate enemies. Artillery is also good for drawing enemies out of hiding spots and forcing them into open areas if you have a pretty good sense of where they're hiding
Camouflage is a big deal too. Missions vary not only by the type of terrain but by weather conditions and time of day, so you have to create preset character configs for the different scenarios. If the mission involves an outpost in the middle of the jungle, you have to decide in advance whether you want to move from building to building or stick to the jungle and keep a lookout for anyone crossing the road. Ghillie suits aren't great if you're in a shack next a warehouse.
Also the level of teamwork needed to be successful it's impressive. If you play an assault class you really need someone to do you recon for you. If the other team has a medic you need to find that out really fast and make it a priority to destroy that fucker.
Also, you always have to mindful of where the dead bodies are, because you know the enemy is going to try to resurrect them. A credited tactic is to lure multiple enemies into one area and pick them off one by one so that all the bodies are in one place, making it easier to mine them or have your sniper take out anyone who makes a move for them.
I have no idea whether these things make the game more "realistic" in the sense you mean, but they add new levels of dimension to what would otherwise be a fairly standard 3rd person shooter.
Devs are also good too. I have not encountered any hacking and they are quick to modify shit like thermal vision and drones so they aren't overpowered. Maps are really works of art. |

Date: January 9th, 2018 1:14 PM Author: histrionic rough-skinned pervert whorehouse OFS. I got it on sale for $25. I think if you buy direct from ubisoft it's like $30 now, though you'll want the $15 season pass to unlock the predator class. I know the season pass shit is gay but I feel good about it in this case because the game has a small userbase and I want ubisoft to keep investing in it.
Don't worry about paying more to unlock guns or any of that stuff. You can buy "credits" but they just unlock different skins for the same guns you already get with the base game + season pass. Nothing you can pay to unlock gives you an advantage in the game itself. |

Date: December 26th, 2018 3:37 PM Author: floppy flirting abode reading party Hacking was out of control for a while but seems to be better now. Also some of the new classes seem pointless. Like they're adding content just to say they added content. New maps are 180 though. Noobs always rush the warehouse on Outskirts so I'll wait for them to go the roof and then gas it while my teammate lays mines around the exit doors.

Date: January 9th, 2018 1:47 PM Author: histrionic rough-skinned pervert whorehouse LOAL brother, I know what you mean but in this game those faggots always get kicked when the round starts. You only get 4 players per team so there's basically zero tolerance for anyone who fucks around. You do need to talk if you want to win because teamwork it essential, but in my experience the players are quite mature and many of them seem familiar with military concepts. I'm not even a very good player but I've gotten invited to join squads with experienced players because I'm a good talker and I watch for gunfire on the tactical map when I'm dead.

Lots of regulars left due to hackers and now that the game costs $20 there are a fuckload of noobs. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3854114&forum_id=2).#37474261) |

Date: October 9th, 2019 3:35 PM Author: Stimulating slate athletic conference Ghost Recon Breakpoint just dropped. PvP is different in a lot of ways now. Just getting into it and it's kind of gay how you have to do some single player missions to level up your PvP character and get weapons. PvP gameplay is generally good although 95% of players are total n00bs at the moment. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3854114&forum_id=2).#38953352) |
