Get ready to return to Bolivia, because Ghost War – the new PvP mode for Ghost Recon Wildlands – is coming in a free update this fall, with a 4v4 team deathmatch open beta on all platforms later this summer. In the new Ghost War mode, one team plays as Ghosts and the other plays as a squad of spec ops soldiers fighting to get a foothold in the country after the fall of the Santa Blanca Cartel. These teams will choose from a roster of specialized classes, including Scout, Sniper, Tank, and more. Each class will have its own strengths, weaknesses, and dedicated perks, so players will have to consider their combat strategy and pick a team composition that supports their playstyle. They will then take to the battlefield in open-environment maps, ranging from mountains and deserts to jungles and forests. As matches play out in all kinds of weather and at all times of day, players will have to marshal their knowledge of the Wildlands to help them claim victory.

”Our objective with Ghost War was to build upon the main game's elements of co-op teamplay and open, tactical gameplay," said Lead Game Designer Lucian Istrate. To expand the tactical toolset, the team has added a new suppression system that affects your vision while you're under heavy fire, and implemented new sound markers to help players locate their enemies' position. Istrate cautions that ”all of these elements will make team play, communication, and strategic skills more crucial than ever."

Ghost War was designed from the ground up with the community in mind. Similar to the pre-launch period of Ghost Recon Wildlands, the team in Ubisoft Paris brought a select group of community members to the studio to gather critical feedback during the development process. Visit the Ghost Recon news page to see some early impressions from our community members who got their hands on the new PvP mode.

Players looking to get a slice of the action before launch can join an open beta that will be available on all platforms later this summer. For the latest beta info, visit ghostrecon.com.

Yesssssss. Me and a friend play this regularly and the helicopter controls are always a topic. Looks like everything I've wanted to change/be added!

Just when I think I'm out...

Also that GOD at the helicopter update. It was fun to fly but shitty handling/shooting made it frustrating to use as a weapon.

 

[Broadbandito]

Will def check out since I own digitally. Gonna be tough to dedicate time to it with some major releases hitting this fall/winter

 

[BrettHeazy]

just bought this game and the season pass for £30! looking forward!

 

[TangoAlphaLima]

I wonder if Ubi will ever put in a PUBG-style mode in Wildlands? Could be a good fit.

 

[DJSebolski]

Open world PVP? Pass. RIP Ghost Recon

In a Ubisoft earnings call they specifically talked about considering it for games in their future DLCs so I would not be surprised at all, especially considering how much Ghost Recon WIldlands has sold so far.

 

[Raptor]

Cant say Im interested in PVP but updated controls on the chopper is welcome.

 

[Zoanoid33]

Not sure what Ubisoft are trying to do with pvp in this. 4v4 seems way to small for the overall scope and space in the game. A 8v8 mode would be much better IMO. I was desperately hoping to get some type of feel from Socom days with the pvp but i dont think 4v4 will suffice.

Even though I like Rainbow Dix Siege alot it still baffles me that its 5v5 instead of 6v6 hence the name Rainbow Six. Not sure I understand what Ubi is trying to do with their pvp stuff these days.

 

[SlickShoesRUCrazy]

Damn it Ubisoft. 8 v 8.

Ghost recon is 8 v 8.

Seriously, GRAW 1/2 multiplayer was dope! Not only the PvP, but also the PvE!

Open world PVP? Pass. RIP Ghost Recon

More like buy. Im going to pick this up now they fixed one of my greatest gripes about the game and added something i'm interested in.

 

[Boke1879]

Is this going to be their first foray into a PUBG mode?

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Is this going to be their first foray into a PUBG mode?

Yes.

 

[Saganator]

Is this game any good for someone like me who doesn't have friends to play it with?

 

[OrlanisWorks]

I have the strangest boner right now.

Mostly for the improved helicopter controls.

Is this game any good for someone like me who doesn't have friends to play it with?

Probably not. It's fun. But like Destiny, it's longevity depends on playing with your friends. It's a very repetitive game.

 

[Erban1]

Is this game any good for someone like me who doesn't have friends to play it with?

It's fun in solo if you pump the difficulty up a bit. I've put in nearly 50 hours playing mostly solo and enjoy it a lot.

 

[Terbinator]

Open world PVP? Pass. RIP Ghost Recon

Someone never played Bunker Hill / Redux.

 

[Broadbandito]

Open world PVP? Pass. RIP Ghost Recon

It's going to be 4v4 on specific maps

Is this going to be their first foray into a PUBG mode?

Where did you get the PUBG mode? It's 4v4 obj TDM

Yes.

Incorrect. It's a 4v4 Obj mode

 

[Dabanton]

Is this game any good for someone like me who doesn't have friends to play it with?

I'm mostly playing it one player and it's fun. The missions have just enough variety to not get too repetitive.

But then I like the whole sneaking in a dispatching whole enemy encampments silently with my team.

 

[BrettHeazy]

has the title 6 update gone live on PC already?

I only started playing a couple days ago, and I don't think the choppers control that well at all? I have no real sense of where I'm aiming whilst piloting one?

 

[Javier23]

Yes.

No.

 

[Scrumpert]

I don't want to derail this thread to much but i didn't want to start a new one. I have recently been looking at this game because i want a competitive tactical shooter for my PS4. I am playing americas army but being from the UK the emphasis on the american army and the propaganda videos are beginning to get on my nerves.
