Ghost Recon: Future Soldier (GRFS)
Written by: SSgt Trister

Ghost Recon: Future Soldier or GRFS, is slated to go Beta on the PS and XB sometime in April and released May 22nd 2012. GRFS will not only be for consoles but now the PC as well but, most likely a ported version.

They have recently released a couple of videos in multiple languages just a few weeks ago and shown above and below. They show how Single player would be and it's animations & cover system. The animations seems to be smooth and plentyful. You have the ability to slide, roll, jump over or even roll over obstacles, crouch or prone. The cover system is nothing new to where you can snap to it by walking, running, or sliding into it, peaking around or over, and yes, it's destructible.


They have changed the way you give orders to your AI teammates. You used to tell them to "go here and be aggressive" attacking anything within range, or "go there and be netural" attacking only when being attacked. In GRFS you give orders not based on location but the target. They'll quickly calculate the best attack approach whether it be shooting from cover or just right where they stand, flanking the enemy or stealthy taking him out without, or attempt to not alert the others. You'll have the ability to tell each AI teammate what target to attack and on cue (when you shoot, they all shoot) called SyncShot. You'll have a moment to take a fifth shot if they're are more than 4 targets before the rest of the enemies are alerted.

GRFS gives you the option to fight against smaller enemies forces by playing steathly, or more enemies if you choose to run & gun. There'll be some missions where you are forced to play one or the other.

In the Multiplayer arena they have incorporated objective-based matches and rewards for teamplay. You'll be able to rank up faster and gain more XP and points if you team up than going lone wolf. Defusing/arming bombs and capturing flag will be done quicker with a teammate by your side. You'll also get points for suppresion fire, kill assists, and revives just as other multiplayer games have done. What different you may ask? UbiSoft suggests that GRFS forces you to play as a team more than those other games that only seem to be team-oriented.



At this point some question arise, and with all the current information, does GRFS have what it takes to go up against other shooters both single player and mutli? Does it seem to be better than all the other previous GRs? Does it have the potential to be the "best game of the year" title? What will happen with GRO now that GRFS has been ported to PC, will gamers still be interested as before?

whats this invisible soldier bullshit

It's the future duh! LOL

i heard its only going to come on console and for PC is gonna be the Ghost Recon: online

Nah, they recently announced that it'll be for the PC.

Yay. Just another awesome game that I won't be able to run cause of my crappy laptop

Are there anything other games to compare it to that I could see if I even have a remote chance of running it?

Ghost Recon Online? Possibly.

Can't wait! I have always been a fan of Mass Effect, Battlefield, Halo, Ghost Recon, and Call of Duty, owning every title since, and Ghost Recon: Future Soldier is no exception to my family

I liked ghost recon because it was the first or one of the first realistic fps games.

Just like operation flashpoint. so cool

I will be following this game closely

I don't want another MOH where it looks good but plays really bad :/

Let's hope its super sweet

Cant wait ive been playing ton of original ghost recon

Ghost recon multiplayer is always fun since 99.9% of the players that play this game are over the age of 14 and understand team work, the cover system looks solid, the suppresion system looks awsome, i love how the guy is looking all over as if hes trying to find new cover to get out of his shity situation, and on top of it all the "intel" although its nothing new. I still love the fact that there is airal drones. so looks like im gonna be playing the Sniper class ACTIVE CAMO!!!!!!!
(hopefully they dont get to crazy with that) i feel like everyone is going to use that class

LOOKS LIKE THE 13th NEEDS TO MAKE A NEW BRANCH!!! Ill volunteer to be the SL for the PS3 squad

Does anyone nows about the release date for ghost recon online

Last I read it is still in beta and no release date as of yet.

Humpfff i realy wanna play that one

looks tasty
definitely worth trying

Ghost Recon: Online is still in beta, i got acccepted to beta but my computer is crap so it can't run it. If you can run bf: bc2 then GRO should run on your computer.

Not sure. Just want a beta key

Oh hellznyeah it took them long enough!!! :D:D:D

Maybe we can have a squad for GRO once it's open beta, and we can start recruiting i guess.

Im definetly looking into it. It kinda reminds me Gear Of War 3. But i think i will buy it.
@GoldFusion
Would be awesome

I might buy it too, but on xbox actually because I have a kinect as well so I can get the full experience.

You never know how compatible it will be with Kinect. It might fail since almost every game with kinect sucked. (Saying that just to make you buy it for PC and play with meh)
