    Fr though. Why have they still not added ghillie hoods after 11 months of this game being out. It has been persistently asked for for ages.

    What do you guys/girls think made it my self

    Posted: 11 Sep 2020 02:50 PM PDT

    A bit of "ancient" wisdom. Theres a reason why players keep finding a way to get to the DMR glitch.

    Posted: 11 Sep 2020 12:10 PM PDT

    A new ghillie suit... STILL NO HOOD! Ubisoft, please tell me why can't you add hoods? Did the devs ever address this?

    Such a shame Sentinel doesn't use their various vehicles...

    Squad Commands Revamped

    Squad Commands Revamped

    Squad Commands Revamped

    Hey Ghosts! Got my new computer running and, after recreating all my old assets and a lot of frustration (I should have gotten this thing pre-built lol), I bring to you my take on Squad Commands! Also look towards the bottom of the post for a sneak peak at the Ghost Recon: Warfighter version of Squad Commands, Ghost Classes, and Dynamic Entry.

    //THE ORDER WHEEL

    The very core of Squad Commands Revamped is the Order Wheel. It has been remade and features a host of new options such as Contextual Orders and Individual Orders.

    Basic Order Wheel

    Hold RB to open the "Order Wheel" for orders and commanding individual squadmates. Orders include Move To, Hold Position, Regroup, Formation, Cleared Hot, and Sweep and Clear and are located at the top half of the wheel. Some orders are grouped together and can be cycled with D-Left and D-Right. While using the Order Wheel, use LS to highlight an order, RS to aim, and A to select. There are also combat specific orders. Having a suppressor equipped affects squadmate combat orders when not engaged.

    • Move To
      • Move To - Order squad to relocate to a specific position
      • Dig In - Order squad to protect a specified location
      • Flank - Order squad to move to a position perpendicular to the designated area and engage targets. [Combat Only]
    • Hold Position
      • Hold Position - Order squad to cease following Nomad
      • Overwatch - Order squad to maintain their position and provide ranged support
    • Regroup
      • Regroup - Order squad to form up at Nomad's position
      • Formation - Order squad to enter Formation Mode
    • Cleared Hot
      • Cleared Hot - Order squad to engage targets at will
      • Sweep and Clear - Order squad to eliminate threats in a specified area
      • Suppress - Order squad to force designated enemies into cover. [Combat Only]

    Individual Orders

    Nomad can command individual squadmates, each having their own tab with the basic commands, class ability, and their two items (cycled with D-Left and D-Right). Individual squadmates are located on the bottom half of the Order Wheel. Selecting a squadmate expands their wheel, showing their available orders. Moving LS towards a different section or tapping B will quickly close the squadmate.

    Placing a squadmate(s) on Overwatch will make the squadmate hold position and choose targets. They will prioritize targets near the player or at risk of discovering the player. Targets they aim at will be marked with an eye symbol. Targets can be taken out similar to a sync shot, set Behaviors (see Behaviors section) can determine if the squadmate will engage on sight, on command, or at risk of discovery as well as the distance from the player they will prioritize targets at.

    //FORMATIONS

    Order your AI teammates to form up behind you with the order wheel. Once formed up, the order wheel can be used to choose a formation or end the formation. Formations include file, diamond, line, vee, wedge, and echelon. AI teammates will automatically cover directions the player is not facing. Co-op players can form up behind a player by holding the X button behind their back.

    Players will automatically keep pace with the lead player and can change formations via the order wheel. Teammates will automatically grab the player in front of them's shoulder like real operators when stopped and in the file formation. Co-op players can tap X while on a full mag to alert the player in front of them that they're ready, squeezing their shoulder. This will buzz the player's controller.

    //CONTEXTUAL ORDERS

    \"Stealth Kill\" Contextual Order

    Holding RB while looking at something like an enemy or door will show "Contextual Orders" such as Stealth Kills, Breaches, and Hiding Bodies. These specific options will appear at the very top of the wheel. If there are multiple options, they can be cycled with D-Left and D-Right. Certain Contextual Orders will automatically select the best squadmate for the job, taking into account positioning and whether they have a suppressor. If necessary, a squadmate will perform a melee kill.

    \"Stack\" Contextual Order

    When looking at a door for example, Nomad can command his squad to stack up on the door (or order them to breach right away by cycling with the D-Pad).

    \"Breach\" Contextual Order

    When you're ready to breach, you have three options:

    • Breach - The squad will enter the room and engage targets
    • Flash and Clear - If one of your squadmates is equipped with a flashbang, they will toss one in before executing the Breach order
    • Frag and Clear - If one of your squadmates is equipped with a frag, they will toss one in before executing the Breach order

    //STATUS

    The Status, or health and condition, of your squad is symbolized by their icons at the bottom of the Order Wheel.

    Status

    • Green - Healthy. Full capability.
    • Yellow - Hurt. Received damage in combat. Restores to Green after some time outside of combat.
    • Orange - Injured. Received a large amount of damage and has reduced capability. Restores to Green after some time outside of combat.
    • Red - Downed. Needs to be revived. Restores to Orange after reviving.

    Squadmates will tend to their own injuries outside of combat.

    //COMBAT

    When engaged with the enemy, you will gain access to two extra orders on top of the default. These combat specific orders will appear in red.

    Combat orders

    You can also use Quick Command (LT + A) to order your squadmates to Focus Fire on specific enemies. When not engaged, the Quick Command will be Sync Shot. The player will no longer be able to Sync Shot in combat, like in Future Soldier.

    Focus Fire

    //SQUAD MENU

    The player can manage the Ghosts from the new Squad Menu.

    Squad Menu

    From this menu, the player can customize their squad and set Behaviors which will affect how they act. From the Loadout, the player can can:

    • Customize Ghost appearance
    • Customize Ghost weapons. Squadmates will automatically have a suppressed handgun for sync shots and stealth kills when their primary isn't compatible. This will affect their effective range.
    • Select Ghost equipment. Ghosts can run with a Lethal and a Tactical such as Frags and Flashes.

    //BEHAVIORS

    The player can also program individual "Squadmate Behaviors" in the Squad Menu at any time. Behaviors are an "IF/THEN" system that decides how squadmates act in situations without input from the player, such as following up orders with another order automatically (i.e. clear the next room, hide bodies after a stealth kill, etc.) and their actions in stealth and combat (i.e. kill enemies that spot them or Nomad, watch the player's flank in combat, use of their class ability, deploy smoke or gadgets, etc.). Behaviors can be customized to make squadmates as autonomous or as controlled as the player desires and are overwritten by orders. Behaviors can be saved as presets for quick changes.

    Thanks for checking out my Mockup! Let me know what you think. And now for a sneak peek at the Ghost Recon: Warfighter version + some extra:

    Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Warfighter

    //GHOST SQUAD

    Squadmates can be chosen from the "Squad Menu" at bases and bivouacs. Players can choose from their available weapon categories and customize them with Gunsmith. Players can also customize their squad's hair, facial hair, details, and outfits. If a squadmate is critically injured, they will be unavailable for a short amount of time to recover.

    Squadmates can be captured if they are downed in combat and not revived while in contact with the enemy. The player will receive an Escalation Mission to rescue the squadmate.

    • Allied militias can rescue the squadmate
    • The captors can offer an exchange for resources or POWs
    • If the squadmate is not rescued, they can be executed (Ghost Mode only)

    Aim and tap A for "Quick Commands" such as sync shots in stealth and focusing fire in combat. Hold RB to open the "Order Wheel" for more specific orders and command individual squadmates. Basic orders include Move To, Hold Position, Regroup, Formation, Cleared Hot, and Sweep and Clear and are located at the top half of the wheel. Some orders are grouped together and can be cycled with D-Left and D-Right. While using the Order Wheel, use LS to highlight an order, RS to aim, and A to select. There are also combat specific orders. Having a suppressor equipped affects squadmate combat orders when not engaged.

    • Move To
      • Move To - Order squad to relocate to a specific position
      • Dig In - Order squad to protect a specified location
      • Flank - Order squad to move to a position perpendicular to the designated area and engage targets. [Combat Only]
    • Hold Position
      • Hold Position - Order squad to cease following Nomad
      • Overwatch - Order squad to maintain their position and provide ranged support
    • Regroup
      • Regroup - Order squad to form up at Nomad's position
      • Formation - Order squad to enter Formation Mode
    • Cleared Hot
      • Cleared Hot - Order squad to engage targets at will
      • Sweep and Clear - Order squad to eliminate threats in a specified area
      • Suppress - Order squad to force designated enemies into cover. [Combat Only]

    Holding RB while looking at something like an enemy or door will show "Contextual Orders" such as Stealth Kills, Breaches, and Hiding Bodies. These specific options will appear at the very top of the wheel. If there are multiple options, they can be cycled with D-Left and D-Right.

    Nomad can command individual squadmates, each having their own tab with the basic commands, class ability, and their two items (cycled with D-Left and D-Right). Individual squadmates are located on the bottom half of the Order Wheel. Selecting a squadmate expands their wheel, showing their available orders. Moving LS towards a different section or tapping B will quickly close the squadmate.

    Placing a squadmate(s) on Overwatch will make the squadmate hold position and choose targets. They will prioritize targets near the player or at risk of discovering the player. Targets they aim at will be marked with an eye symbol. Targets can be taken out similar to a sync shot, set Behaviors can determine if the squadmate will engage on sight, on command, or at risk of discovery as well as the distance from the player they will prioritize targets at.

    The Order Wheel can also be used to access "Co-Op Actions", such as boosting over obstacles. These will appear in the Contextual Orders.

    The player can also program individual "Squadmate Behaviors" in the Squad Menu at any time. Behaviors are how squadmates act in situations without input from the player, such as following up orders with another order automatically (i.e. clear the next room, hide bodies after a stealth kill, etc.) and their actions in stealth and combat (i.e. kill enemies that spot them or Nomad, watch the player's flank in combat, use of their class ability, deploy smoke or gadgets, etc.). Behaviors can be customized to make squadmates as autonomous or as controlled as the player desires and are overwritten by orders. Behaviors can be saved as presets for quick changes.

    Squadmates can be split into multiple "Combat Groups" in the Squad Menu at any time. Up to 4 Combat Groups - A, B, C, and D, with a minimum of two members - can be set and given orders. Members of a Combat Group will stick together. Nomad is always a part of Group Alpha and unassigned squadmates will be assigned to this group automatically. Combined with Behaviors, this can allow Nomad to "order and forget" and strike multiple areas at once without the need for micromanaging. Co-op players can also be added to combat groups and will be able to command AI teammates in their group but only if there are AI teammates available. Combat Groups can be accessed from the bottom half of the wheel in place of the group's members and have their own Behaviors.

    Squadmates can also be added to a "Support Team" in the Squad Menu at any time. Up to 7 members can be a part of the Support Team at any given time. Nomad can call in the Support Team at any time in the Support radio menu from the Order Wheel. They can reinforce Nomad and cause distractions. Calling in the Support Team has no resource cost but risks injury and the capture of squadmates in combat. The Support Team can also be intercepted by militia groups through the Escalation System.

    All squadmates, except Walker, possess a suppressed Handgun that they will use if they don't have a suppressor compatible primary. This will affect their effective range for Sync Shots and Stealth Kills.

    Squadmates can be equipped with one lethal and one tactical item. Squadmates will always have a supply of plastic handcuffs and rappel launchers.

    Nomad can have up to 7 squadmates including the support team and co-op players.

    //SUPPORT PANEL

    //GHOST CLASSES

    There are 3 Class types that each class falls into: Assault, Specialist, and Recon. Some classes act as combinations of two class types.

    • Assault classes specialize in frontline combat and CQC.
    • Specialist classes specialize in support and resupplying teammates.
    • Recon classes specialize in intel gathering and stealth.
    • Hybrid classes are a mix of two class types.

    Classes have special equipment/abilities accessed using Up on the D-Pad. Players are not limited to having certain weapons equipped but AI teammates are. Teammates can be ordered to use their class equipment/abilities with the order wheel. Class items are limited in quantity and can be restocked at Resupply Crates, Bivouacs, and with the Munitions Box. Class Items can be unequipped to save on weight. Class "Weapon Proficiency" means that weapon class will affect Weight Threshold (WT) less.

    Each class has its own skill tree with upgrades and paths, making each class unique to different players. The player has limited slots for class skills and some skills can take more than one slot. Class skills can be equipped and unequipped at any time. To start, all classes start with a single class quantity of their item.

    • Assault - Rifleman

    New Ghillie suit

    Posted: 11 Sep 2020 03:06 PM PDT

    So they are adding new Ghillie suit... Without a hood... Again. They call this 3.0. Launching new Ghillie suits in random chests and they can't still give us most important part of Ghillie? You know when you are prone and facing your enemy head is like 50% of your visual profile... Right? Right?... Right?

    Damn... You asettflipped 1/4 of game from Wildlands. You should have started with Ghillie suits.

    Spreading some much needed positivity

    Posted: 11 Sep 2020 08:41 AM PDT

    As the new Breakpoint update is getting closer and many of us are anxiously waiting what it will bring, I thought it would be a good idea to spread some positivity. This sub is full of complaints, update suggestions and visual media (screenshots/videoclips), which is great. It shows that we care about the game and want to see it evolve into something better (But keep the criticism constructive; harassment is never okay). Yet there is one thing that I have rarely encountered on this sub, and that is compliments. While the game has its fare share of issues, there is no denying that there are some good things about it too. So I made the effort to list some positives about Breakpoint in hopes of lightening the mood on this sub a little.

    Disclaimer: This list is based on my personal opinions and experiences of the game. You are welcome to disagree with me and explain your disagreements in the comments. But as I said before, keep it constructive. You are not helping anyone by harassing someone. On to the list.

    The open-world:

    • While the map can feel too spread out at time, it is still a thing of beauty. The sights are breathtaking at times and there is great variety in the biomes. Different areas of Auroa provide their own experiences, yet the open-world feels like a real island. And the many screenshots posted on this subreddit point to the fact that the different areas are AAA-quality, at least in the terms of presentation.
    • Auroa has surprisingly in depth lore, starting from its discovery, to its usage during the Cold War and ending now in the present day. Of course exact little details from the island's history are not told, but the well built background of Auroa does make the game more immersive. I like to create my own little stories for my characters/actions, and information like this goes a long way in helping me make the story of my Ghost a bit more involved.
    • The additions of old Cold War sites and things like the Spanish Fort build on the already established backstory of the island, and again, make the experience more immersive.

    The story and open-world activities:

    • The missions aren't perfect, but that does not mean that they are not fun. The story keeps with the "Occupied Silicon Valley"-theme, which I personally like. (Except there's too many annoying drones) The story is obviously fiction, but the idea of weaponized drones like the ones depicted, is not an impossibility. Drones are already used in warfare, so the story of Breakpoint does have some basis on reality. (Still too many annoying drones)
    • The different types of missions is also an upgrade from Wildlands. Wildlands had two different kinds of missions: story missions and rebel missions (I am counting the special operations as story missions as they are more than just side missions). Breakpoint ups the ante with actual side missions and faction missions that have more story behind them. These aren't as deep as the main story or the DLC stories, but they still provide something more than just Go to place > do one of five different tasks > upgrade rebel support. I would like to see something similar to Wildlands rebel support in BP, but I am happy that there is a bigger importance in the things that you do.
    • The Bivouac system is one of my favourite new features of BP. I love the idea of setting up a camp to rest and prepare for a mission ahead. It is one more thing that adds to the immersion. My only problem with the system is their use as fast travel point. They are just too abundant. My suggestion is to make them deployable almost anywhere, but have them not be fast travel points. They should be separate and more spread out to encourage vehicle use.

    The player character:

    • I like the mild survival mechanics of the game ( again, immersion). They make your character feel more like an actual person, with strengths and weaknesses. Drinking water, eating at bivouacs and rolling down hills are some examples of game mechanics that give the game some authenticity.
    • Because your character can get serious injuries during battle, no longer does the that character feel like a near unstoppable soldier with infinite stamina and amazing bullet resistance. The main game isn't that hard, but you will find a challenge of you're looking for it. The newly added Ghost Experience allows the player to more easily find that challenge.
    • The different classes are a great addition to the game, as they allow you to more easily define the role of the player character. In Wildlands you could only change weapons and your appearance to make your role more defined. Breakpoint's classes make it easier for you to assume a role both in single and co-op play. The are not too restrictive or overpowered with the perks they give, and the different gadgets make the experience more varied. The classes also create a deeper meta in single player, ghost war and the raid. (Even though I don't like the existence of the raid)

    NPCs and dialogue:

    • The major story NPCs you encounter during the game quite well thought out. They have their own personalities, looks and motives and are relatively interesting. (Yet not shining examples of deep character development either) The voice acting is believable if not amazing and they are easily distinguishable. (But please let me wear a mask when talking to them)
    • When you're not engaged in dialogue with any of the NPCs and are just walking around doing your thing, the background chatter of the people around you is quite good. +1 for immersion. While their conversations do get repetitive, they still sound very believable. Even though I have heard the Sentinel soldiers complain about the night countless times, I still think that, "Yeah. That's something a night guard could say." The things they talk about aren't that specific that hearing them over and over again starts to break the immersion. Except for Hawkins and Grant. They must have been really important.
    • I have seen complaints that the open-world is devoid of life, which is concentrated in the two faction areas and enemy bases. I agree with this statement to some extent. Yes, the open-world is nowhere near as lively as it was in Wildlands, but that doesn't mean that there isn't any other life than just Sentinel soldiers driving around. Going to a homesteader location like the Schulz homestead does give you a glimpse to the life of an ordinary person. I found out last week that there was a person sawing a plank at some homesteader place, and I was quite surprised of that little detail. +1 for immersion :)

    Events and updates:

    • There have been two events at this point in time. Both of them have been surprisingly fun and interesting in their own ways. The Terminator event was quite an unusual first event, but it was well implemented and executed. The story was not incredibly deep, but I had fun playing it and unlocking the rewards. The same can be said about the resistance event. It was very different compared to the terminator event, which was great. I loved that the Outcasts would have random skirmishes with Sentinel, similar to the rebels in Wildlands. The rewards spanned across "meh" to "pretty cool", culminating in the strike designator, which is an interesting addition to the standard experience.
    • I mentioned the Ghost Experience before. It was probably one of the most important updates to the game, allowing the player to make the playing experience something that they like. The ability to disable tiered loot was something I and many others desperately wanted. While it didn't completely fix the game's problems, it was a massive step in the right direction.
    • Another thing I desperately wanted to be included in the game was AI teammates. It was baffling to me that they weren't in the game on launch. I don't have friends who play this game, so I had to survive the Auroan wilderness as a lone wolf. It was getting a bit boring and I was losing interest in the game. But now that the teammates are in the game, I have played BP more than ever before. As I said before, I like to create my own stories within the game and now that I have the AI teammates to keep my character company, I have been able further develop my own character's story.

    Miscellaneous:

    • The design of the Wolves, while not at all realistic, is interesting and their appearance does invoke some uneasy feelings when I encounter them. I take them more seriously than the standard sentinel soldiers, which I think was the point. I don't mind that they don't look like actual special forces. They are, to me, more interesting than that. (While most likely not as effective as soldiers)
    • The addition of the item wheel was a much needed upgrade from Wildlands. My only gripe is the constant need to access the character menu to equip stuff on the wheel. Just make the wheel bigger and get rid of the previous Mk versions of the items after you have upgraded them.
    • There has also been great new items that were not present in Wildlands. The fence-cutting torch thingy is great, but it would be even better if it only worked on more fences. The EMP grenades fit the game's theme and having the ability to manually heal is really fantastic. Can't say I also don't like the rocket launcher.
    • New game mechanics like rolling and camouflaging while prone are really great. +1 for immersion.

    This most likely isn't a comprehensive list, but I hope it made you look at the game a bit differently. Breakpoint gets many things wrong, but it also gets many things right. The game can be frustrating at times, but it can also be really really fun. And spreading positivity is never a bad thing. Neither is constructive criticism for that matter. Here's hoping that the Red Patriot-update adds some things to this list.

    Godspeed Ghosts!

    I don’t know what it is...sometimes it’s still so frustrating and disappointing, but I can’t stop playing this game. I hope Ubi will learn with Breakpoint and I’m looking forward to the upcoming TU

    Waiting for the red patriots

    Posted: 11 Sep 2020 11:08 AM PDT

    I know I'm not alone here, I'm actually really looking forward to the update

    Posted: 11 Sep 2020 01:08 AM PDT

    The gunsmith stuff goes a long way to making it better, making the weapons feel more your own, sure it's not perfect but it's a lot better than when it first came to us. I'm excited.

    The Bodark? Great enemy, it'll certainly be a reskin of the wolves with russian accents, do I care? Nah, they're a cool enemy and I'm looking forward to where they take the story since Stone is finally directly involved.

    I remain cautiously optimistic that FS Ghost gear is also getting added to the store and Maria's shop, I hope I'm not wrong but I'm giving the devs a small bit of credit here, they didn't drop the ball on deep state's splinter cell content so I feel generous enough to hope for red patriot.

    The pathfinder class is awesome, I'm genuinely surprised people are bitching about it, you can call in your own drone and have white thermal vision, isn't this just the class to rock for all you milsim players? I know it's gonna become my main. If they changed the thermal to white for all classes others would have complained they liked the old thermal more. Sensible in my opinion.

    The only thing I really hope we see in the patch notes is a toggle option for headgear in cutscenes and Future Soldier gear coming in too. Other than that I'm happy with what we're getting.

    A way that would make Bodark scary/cooler

    Posted: 11 Sep 2020 02:11 PM PDT

    They won't do this, but it'd be really cool if they spawned in your blind spot, so behind you or something like it was a horror game. Not immediately shooting you cause that'd get annoying on hard modes, but basically making them able to sneak up on you without you knowing, since it makes sense they should have the skill to do that to ghosts.

    You'd have to be constantly looking around even when reconning a base to raid. They'd only do it for certain areas such as bases with Bodark stationed there or story related stuff.

    Just an idea, won't be the case, but I'd love it if they did. You guys got any thoughts or ideas that would be fairly simple implementations rather than whole recording of the AI system?

    Posted: 11 Sep 2020 06:03 PM PDT

    And wow, this game absolutely blew me away. Let me just say I now finally understand why everyone was so disappointed in Breakpoint when it released. I played 300hrs of Breakpoint before ever starting Wildlands, so I feel like I got lucky and got a kick ass sequel.

    What a game.

    My 6 hour trial review - In the end I decided to buy

    Posted: 11 Sep 2020 05:15 AM PDT

    My Trial Review :

    Old timer Ghost Recon fan. I played the original when it came out on PC , rebought it all on the OG xbox and have played all the GR games since then. I was such a fan I even bought the Sum of all Fears game back in the day because it was made using the Ghost Recon engine.

    I mention this to just give some perspective on where I might be coming from with some of my views and my expecations with this franchise.

    I avoided this game at release due to reasons most are likely familiar with , Levelled gear/loot, no AI team mates, Raids, Robots etc etc

    However since the release the game has seen a lot of updates and patches and in light of the current sale I decided to give it a fair shot and downloaded the 6 hour free trial on PSN.

    I have to say trying to be fair a lot about this game is good and an improvement over Wildlands.

    So the good or things that stood out to me :

    - Graphics and all the effects are improved like lighting and explosions etc.

    - Improved stealth , you can hide in bushes , grass and the mud.

    - I like the improved and new animations and movement - it feels a bit more weighty and looks better

    - I can actually play the game with out the minimap and GPS , the non guided mission descriptions are cool and I actually have to recon a bit.

    - Variety and Player choice, the choice between immersive mode and Division mode and all the many sliders and options you can adjust to tailor the game to how you want it and the level of challenge you are looking for is good.

    - Robot enemies, I don't actually mind this though it has issues, Ghost Recon was always a game about the near future battlefield and up and coming tech. So drones and autonomous weapon systems are happening right now in the real world so it seems a good fit for a Ghost Recon game.

    The things that still need work or I find lackluster :

    - AI , across the board the AI in this game is lacking. The enemy AI is quite stupid and it seems the options only increase their accuracy and speed of detection.

    - The injury / stamina survival system - This has potential to be interesting but as usual like a lot of games the stamina system is kind of annoying and also the critical injuries are too easily removed using the stim injections. Overall the survival stuff is easily made redundant .

    - Team AI - They seem okay but I do miss being able to individually order the squad members around and give them more detailed orders such as waypoints or go codes. Their main benefit seems to be extra firepower and a free revive.

    Overall I can't deny I was entertained in the trial period and there is a lot about this game I like and prefer to Wildlands. However it is clear the game still has some fundamntal or underlying issues that need to be addressed. I know more story content and customization content is coming but personally I would much prefer the devs to try to do something with the enemy AI, the survival systems and more improvements to squad AI.

    In the end I picked this game up as it felt good value for the sale price.
