I've been playing GR since the pc demo came out back in '01/02.
Future Soldier is NOT Ghost recon!
In SP on Elite, you can't turn off auto aim.
You can't change the controller layout.
You can't change your weapons ROF.
In MP
There are two incredibly annoying gadgets with no way to counter them. That would be the flash bulb gun and the taser. When someone flashes you, the whole screen goes green for about 6-7 seconds and you can do NOTHING about it (provided you don't get shot)!
When someone tases you, they start "hacking" you. Again, NOTHING you can do about it but lay there and watch. Then when you come to and start to get up, they just kill you.
I'm all for cool gadgets, and these sound cool, until it happens to you. There is no way to counter them. like maybe wear a pair of glasses that reduce the flash effect. Or some sort of taser negating body armor. No options for that at all.
The maps are really small, urban, COD type maps. Not one large outdoor map with room to maneuver tactically.
The guns suck! The Goblin literally takes alnost the entire mag to bring someone down with! Don't like it? Tough! The weapons are now "unlocks"! As if I'm some short attention span twelve year old who needs a carrot dangled in front of me to entice me to keep playing. So that means you have to run around with crap guns whilst getting owned by everyone who has unlocked the better ones. And those don't unlock till you reach around level twenty!
The cover system is wonky! Lots of times I'll be in cover and move to the edge of a wall when the game will, for some reason, release me from being in cover (???). Now I'm just standing out there usually resulting in getting shot!
These are my major gripes, and only a fraction of the reasons why I'll be selling my copy!
R.I.P. Ghost Recon. It was fun while it lasted.
