![]() ![]() Gunsmith allows extensive customizations of weapons, whereafter the player can test them on a firing range before entering a mission. Sync Shot also happens to be the only squad command in this game. If the player marks four targets, the player must aim at one of the targets and fire in order to take down all four targets. If the player marks up to three targets, the player can either order them to fire, or take aim himself on one of the targets and fire, at which point the squad mates fire simultaneously. The player is shown icons signifying when the squad mates have moved into position and taken aim on marked targets. ![]() This mechanic is referred to by the game as "Sync Shot". Outside of firefights, marking targets prepares for a synchronized takedown, so long as the enemy is still unaware of the team's presence. ĭuring firefights, the player can prioritize up to four targets by marking them, on which squad members will focus fire. It's enabled automatically when the player crouches, and disengages when running, firing or taking damage. In the game, it is explained that the processing power doesn't exist yet for the camouflage to keep up with quick movements, so it is only active when the player moves slowly. While taking cover, players can be suppressed by machine gun fire, which takes the effect of narrowing and shaking the player's field of vision, making it harder to return fire.Ī new feature in the series is adaptive camouflage, which allows the Ghosts to become partially invisible. Some cover can be partially destroyed, forcing players to seek other hiding spots. Clicking on the right analog stick causes the game to switch to a first-person camera, which lets the player look down the iron sights. Pulling the left trigger causes the over-the-shoulder view to zoom in, allowing for more precise aiming. The game is a third-person cover-based shooter. Here the screen is gray to show the perspective of the streets from the UAV camera. This boost, like the others, makes sticking together and working as a team more rewarding, and ultimately, doing so makes winning easier.Kozak uses a drone to scout out enemies in the Pakistan streets. Teammates are boosted by ammunition and energy resupply. Aegis is a mobile energy device that emits a defensive plasma shield, and Blackout sends out a disorientating pulse that knocks out nearby electronics. The Specialist class brings Blackout and Aegis to the battlefield. This class can also help their nearby teammates by boosting armour and health regeneration. The second device is called Heat, and it allows you to, effectively, cook your opponents from range. ![]() A co-ordinated attack can see well positioned soldiers knocked to floor with a shove from the heavy shield, only for long and midrange support to hoover up the kills as troops fly out of cover. It makes them daunting close-quarters adversaries: just one charging in behind enemy lines can prove disastrous for the defensive team. Blitz is a bullet proof combat shied that reflects projectiles, and it's used as a battering ram of sorts. There's also a Cloak that renders the Recon near-invisible and Oracle is a scanning device that can identify hostile troops tactical recon that can once again be transmitted to local allies.Īssault's carry two over their own special devices. Different perks buff the stats of those around you, so playing as a sniper and sticking close to your team offers them increased tactical knowledge by detecting sprinting enemies and those in combat, and relaying that information to nearby squad members. I spent most of my time as a Recon class, hanging back with a sniper rifle, taking headshots and avoiding being flanked. There are three classes to choose from, and each offers distinctive options to sift through. Spawn points shift as objectives are taken, meaning combat never stays static for too long: action is always shifting. Each of the arenas is distinctive and each offers a variety of different environments to fight over. Ghost Recon Online isn't rocking the best looks in the shooter genre (allowing it to work on a variety of machines), but there's still plenty to admire. The brevity of early life leads to a quick change of tact, and Call of Duty-esque charges into the breach are seldom seen, and are always gratefully received by opposing teams. ![]()
