Bodark Zulu Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Even with dedicated players like those we have in the ghost recon community things feel like we're at a standstill and the updates are few and far between, right? Next to For Honor and Rainbow Six Siege this game seems like its just supposed to fall to the wayside. New content and updates will be here in the next few months but with these newer games coming out will there be much of a playerbase left? Look at the last ghost recon ! Future Soldier has some of the best game design and multiplayer elements I've ever seen! Yet its been given such little attention after release. If you need more evidence check out these videos from other content creators. Even the youtubers that used it to grow are leaving it because that's all that mattered to some of them, not the game.

Bodark Zulu Posted October 21, 2018 Author Share Posted October 21, 2018 it still feels a bit too early though for such a great game, especially considering its ghost recon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I admit have not played it since getting my ass kicked 50 times in the R6 crossover mission - but I have generally not been gaming much recently. When new content come out I will be all over it again for sure - I am missing it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papa6 Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 I think it's possible. Is it happening? hard to say. But this being a big money business, they'll support a game until the next iteration. They create a cycle. likely Wildlands 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodark Zulu Posted November 25, 2018 Author Share Posted November 25, 2018 (edited) The reason I was so fixated on this is because the last ghost recon got dlc a couple of patches and then no more support even after all the bugs, glitches, and problems of the matchmaking were clearly outlined by the community. I guess I just really want to see more love by the devs for the series. I think it could be so much more than what it is right now. Maybe they're trying to get there, as of late they've been interacting with the community alot more.

Rocky Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Yeh I kind of feel the same, there needs to be a significant update to pull people back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5timechamp Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 It almost feels like the majority of the team moved on.. After SO3, theres still one more content pack coming (doubt theres a seadon 3).. Sure would be nice if the last pack went big and closed out the content support in a big positive way..

The numbers rather suggest a lot of them were never here to begin with; many Ghost Recon fans saw what the game lacked, and never bought it.

I agree, but look at what else has disappeared from the game that tactical realism fans have long regarded as essential; some of them things Ghost Recon was first to deliver when it inaugurated the genre: · nav maps · a text mode communication system · mission based load out system · sever browser · high resolution net code · realistic missions based game modes · realistic weapons and equipment And look what these have been supplanted with: · magic radar · Barbie's Mystical Adventure weapon grind system · horrible Quazal net code · match making that's been terrible for a decade built on same · action/arcade fictional game modes · casino clown content system · a communication system that only communicates taunts and insults The last is a poster child for the kind of cognitive dissonance Ubisoft has created with tactical realism fans.

There are better more honest ways to make just as much money with games. For tactical realism fans to jump back on the Ghost Recon franchise wouldn't require a Herculean effort on Ubisoft's part; Wildlands offers an excellent platform for expansion, but it would require real and honest effort in showing rather then marketing, baiting and promising...

Rocky Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Oh it must be Christmas time, here's BAH HUMBUG stopping by again. Never one to let the facts get in the way of you dogged determination to bring the hammer down on GRW or Siege I see your complaints still lack credibility but you just have to keep beating that dead horse. Get over it please - Siege is a massive success in spite of your disdain and unsubstantiated complaints and guess what, so is Wildlands! Ubisoft did a fantastic job with Wildlands and Siege, and if you for once put a level head on things and gave them a fair crack of the whip, you might even be big enough to admit it. Short of that - this is a FAN forum, if you want to complain with purpose - take it to the Ubisoft forum. Your negativity is not welcome here, trying to spoil our SO3 Christmas. Move on, have a great 2019 posting somewhere that you actually enjoy a game. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Wachter Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Wildlands is fun. It gives you plenty of freedom to work within a tactical environment. Not the most realistic tactical environment, but simply adapt to the situation like you would in real life and it's a fun experience. It rewards you for using a tactical mindset where you write your own playbook, not try to copy real life inside a video game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nyleken Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Wildlands is dying but that hasn't stopped me from giving it a quick one-hour spin once in a while. On the PVE side it's begging for some sort of mission generator or simple mission editor to increase the replayability because going through the same missions over and over again is a little tiring. Unfortunately, that's all there is to it at this point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwgfghost Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 I just recently got back into it about a month ago on PS4 and then, while at a certain location, something popped into my mind. I was thinking of my one friend that I gamed with on PC all the time and I thought, I could see him locating there and then me going in to assault. And that's how I decided to start shopping for a new custom pc. He and I are finally gonna be gaming together after almost a decade apart. Game may be dying, but I've had some great times playing it and look forward to even more on PC with my friend. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love how you completely glossed over how he said it was an impressive achievement at its core and offered ideas on how the series could be pulled in an upward direction.

Lightspeed Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Yeh, I don't have a lot of time for people who moan about games, but don't mod or develop games themselves. If he doesn't like it, he doesn't have to carry on about it, he can just play something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
