I'm only posting this thread to make fun of it.

1. Lol, Ghost Recon: Future Soldier = Tom Clancy's StarCraft: Ghost

2. So much for the "Modern Warfare" trend in FPS.

3. What an awkward moniker for this direction of the series. Future Soldier? Seriously?

4. How many different ways can you say what was simply said in Fallout 3? "But war... war never changes."

I dunno, it might fill a niche.. Not many (or any?) tactical shooters in that setting.

There's not many tactical shooters featuring monkeys either.  It's a retarded niche.

The name is retarded, but shouldn't the "future" have squads and tactics too?? Or are they just that bad ass that they only run 'n' gun solo all the time? Oh ho ho ho. Reallllly?


[edit] Really though, I know where y'all are coming from. The fact of the matter though is that Ubi is desperate to differentiate itself from that other, more popular, modern combat series. Even though they're completely different styles of games, few give a shit about Ghost Recon anymore, and won't (unfortunately).

I'm with Stray. Not enough tactical shooters and it might be different enough to be fun.

I wish they would have showed some gameplay instead of a CG teaser...the game is supposed to be out by years end so there should be something to show.

And before I complain about "THE FUTURES!!!" I will wait and see what direction they are taking it. The Ghost Recon games have always been pushing future technology so this is the next step forward. There is no point trying to compete with MW2 especially since a new modern Medal of Honor game is coming out this fall too. If you look at the announcement thread on GAF half of the replies were saying it is copying MW2 despite the fact that the Ghost Recon series has been around much longer, so I am glad they are trying something different.

I have faith in Ubi Soft with this franchise, the last two were really well done despite being significantly different from the original PC game.

I think their teaser trailer would have had way more impact if it actually showed something. Seriously, substance, not smoke and mirrors.

YOU ARE A SOLDIER. IN THE FUTURE.

I thought Soldier was a moniker for the rank and file and not specialists in an infiltration squad? Like Marines in StarCraft vs. Ghosts.

Soldiers are anyone in the regular land forces of a given military (in the US, that means the Army). Marines are historically infantry that are part of the navy, so they get a different name. In much the same way, sailors are sailors, not soldiers.

This.

The original Ghost Recon is the GR game I enjoyed the most at the time of it's release.  They keep getting progressively worse.  In the original GR, you commanded soldiers.  Regular old soldiers.  Highly trained regular old soldiers.  Then in GR 2 they began to introduce all this future soldier crap.  It got worse and worse in Advanced Warfighter 1 and 2.  Now it's getting regoddamndiculous.  Two of my most beloved game franchises in all of history, Rainbow 6 and Ghost Recon, have went to shit.  Thank god Operation Flashpoint DR is around.  I know it's not what people expected but it's a helluva lot better than fucking Ghost Recon... IN THE FUTURE!!!!! awesome, for real

I've had some of my best LAN party moments with a small group playing co-op missions of ghost recon (original).  Man, that game was great.  GR2 and on are the same as the original in name only.

Well, except that the Royal Marines (UK) are part of the Naval Service, not the Royal Navy. And the USMC are their own branch of service as well, rather than part of the USN.

Then there's USN SEALS and other Special Forces/Special Ops guys from the different branches, (SAS, SBS, PJs, CCT, etc) but they tend to be called "operators" instead.

But to the layperson, they're all "Soldiers in the Army".

Me too.  I still managed to get some enjoyment out of the Advanced Warfighter games.  GR 2 was complete console crap though.  I'm a heavy console gamer these days too and I can still say... GR 2 was pure console crap.
