Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier



Tom Clancy's games always had the authenticity of how real time Miltary Ops would be . There are still hardcore fans for the Ghost Recon Series , Rainbow 6 ..Tom Clancy's Endwar and H.A.W.X brought a new level to how the updated games would look like . Well its time to upgrade to the next level now . Say hello to Ghost Recon : Future Soldier .

You take the role of Kozak, A member of Elite Special forces Unit who have access to advanced tactical gadgets and weapons and are termed as GHOSTS.Ghost Leader Captain Cedric Ferguson, Staff Sergeant John Kozak, Master Sergeant Robert "Pepper" Bonifacio, and Sergeant First Class Jimmy "30K" Ellison. The team ships out under the supervision of Major Scott Mitchell. Ghost Team is unstoppable or should i say more aptly as invisible . The enemies never know what hits them before they end up with a bullet in their head. Thanks to the camfoulage suit which u wear ( Similar to Crysis ) u literally become invisible for enemies .

Tom Clancy has never gone stringent in the usage of Gadgets or Miltary Terms or Weaponry with the most hi fi tech.But wat lacked and pissed the hell out of people in the old games was the gameplay . Bcos being a game that depends on reality so much , that even ur wounds which u recieve in the game is fatal like real world bullets . I mean u wont even get a bearing on who is shootin at you before u end up dead. GoD!!! that is the one that irritates . But this time , so is not the case . The game takes place in Modern World with 3rd person perspective and over the shoulder camera , that became quite famous from 2007's Gears . You have the same cover system here too .But the movement from cover to cover has been made a little more easy than ever. And it looks more dramatic and cool.

What impresses you as soon as you take command of your charector is the agility with which ur guy moves around . I mean you can actually relate with him being a guy from a elite Spec Ops Unit. This guy is lithe and can move faster than what Marcus does . Be it sliding over barrels and other man made obstructions or rolling over the barricades and getting into cover , this guy really impresses u like hell .Once you get the hang of this u really are going to Enjoy him like anything.

The are a total of 12 Missions in the game which takes you around Nigeria ,Pakistan , Norway and  Russia. Each level is diffrent and challenges you in a diffrent way than the other.I especially liked the second Mission where u try to take out a guy in Desert . It will be cooler than anything to look . The thing which is worth mentioning in this game is the  SYNC SHOT . U being in a team which has a member of 4 , u can give out orders to your team mates to take down 4 guys simultaneously with each of you taking down one guy . This will be cool to look and the most efficient strategy which you would be using through out the game if you wanted to survive easily .

Air Strike of Heli - BINGO !!!

And the way you pull out a Rescue operation with a guy on your shoulders is much more realistic and diffrent. Usage of Drones is another awesome feature in this game which gives u a vantage point and therby tells you where the enemies are and making it easy for you to mark them for your teammates.If you use your teammates correctly then there will be no need of wasting your ammo at all . They can take care of all your work easily.

Being a console port , I thought the game would be easier and went for the hard mode and dammn .I got spliced at many places . The game has a difficlut parts too. Although you will be revived by your teammate if u fall down hurt , there is a limit where you can get back up again. Weapons are cool and are damn effective . Be it a sniper rifle or Assault Rifle they are deadly in your hands if used in situations correctly . Guys with Riot Shields are there whom are a little hard to hit and you will face the Enemy Spc Ops team also who have the same camouflage gear that you have too. The game certainly has its WOW moments in it . Graphics looks stunning with beautiful environments , although the explosions could have been made a little more powerful.

The level with which you take the Gaurdian with you will be much cooler . Because it will blast everything on your way with mortar fire and for heavier objects there is the guided missile from it .The list of levels in this game include




Prologue + Mission 1: Nimble Guardian
Mission 2: Subtle Arrow
Mission 3: Noble Tempest
Mission 4: Tiger Dust
Mission 5: Silent Talon
Mission 6: Firefly Rain
Mission 7: Ember Hunt
