Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier
About the Game
Future Soldier is the fifth main game in the Ghost Recon series. Just like the other installments it is a tactical 3rd-person shooter where a strategic approach based on cover and stealth is favoured over going in all guns blazing. The game is set in 2024 and the main campaign consists of twelve missions. It starts in Nicaragua where the ghost team Predator attempts to disrupt weapon trafficking in the region.
Story & Setting
Many story elements are provided through the chats between the team members.
Gameplay & Core Systems
Enemies can be taken out with guns but also with silent melee attacks. The soldiers can move around freely in the environment, usually from cover to cover, and have access to adaptive camouflage that renders them invisible when moving slowly and it is enabled or disabled automatically. Cover can be destroyed and while under attack or shooting the camouflage is removed. Before starting a mission the loadout is determined, based on a primary and a secondary weapon, and two items. Other equipment includes sensor grenades, airstrikes, and remote-controlled drones.
