Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint in the Test
On 04. October 2019, with Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint , the latest offshoot of the tactical Shooter series published. Ubisoft wanted to with the new part of the life of a Spec Op soldiers still harder and more realistic than ever before appear. A lot of new ideas and approaches are, thus, influenced the development of the game, but somehow the new features of the game seem not so to arrive, as it has the Developer presented.
Stranded among wolves
Nomad, your either a male or female Protagonist, you completely according to your taste to customize, will be sent by helicopter to the island of Auroa, in order to investigate the Sinking of a cargo ship. However, as the island and landing are already in view, so as to prepare your unit a not particularly friendly Welcome. Next, you are waking up in the middle of the wreckage of the helicopter and have to find your comrades did not survive the crash. Fast your support can be found in the cave settlement of Erewhon, in which a resistance against the Wolves acquired the island has collected. As also your old PAL Ltd. Commander Cole D. Walker is the leader of this so-called Wolves, you will slowly understood that something must have happened and the residents expressed in the recovery of your freedom want to support.
Welcome to the military
I was already last month, a look at Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint at a press event in Berlin throw. There the impression was conveyed that the latest offshoot of the series is very much the emphasis on realism has been placed. By using soldiers from various special forces, was filed on movement and conversation to Refine the Inversion of the Military Shooters. And much of it has been integrated in the game, so you have to, for example, always make sure to be well-enough hydrated, because you are not there, it comes to fatigue. The Open World invites you to be discovered and is home to varied Locations, the call only after that, open the photo mode to take a snapshot of your virtual tour to make.
Today you have had enough to drink?
But on the island there are many steep slopes, and since it’s not a real Assassin’s Creed is, has your soldier a little more problems, this healing down to come. This usually ends with a dowdy ball game down the slope. And then you are thirsty – so your stamina bar after a great effort getting smaller and smaller and only filling your water bottle the water to re-fill. These small and sometimes annoying side effects in your skill tree, so you can improve your stamina, prevent falls, or your water bottle to fill, even if you have only salt water available. If you hit a bivouac, in Camps, which can be used as fast travel points, you also have the possibility of Buffs to get, for example, lower risk of injury by over-eating, or increased resistance to fatigue by Drinking, lasting for an hour. In addition, you can also prepare for the little snack in between, rations for the road, the from the in the world distributed resources to manufacture.
Please a little more tactics
In principle, are you in Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpointfour different classes available to you at any time can change. Here you can choose between the Sharpshooter, Field Medic, Panther and Assault. Most of the Panther class, when you’re sneaking in the assassin style around your enemies as silent as possible off me. You will be discovered, so you can as a special ability, a smoke bomb will explode and you sneak out of the dust to make. Your class can small mini challenges to expand by, for example, makes 10 enemies in Stealth Mode and 3 enemies with a SMG without Reload or Swap, cold.
The secret Off the opponent actually works pretty well. First, a good place, good at hiding, and then your small drone to explore send. I called my drone while Playing lovingly Ikaros, since he works in principle like the eagle in the latest offshoots of the Assassin’s Creed series. You will try using your drone to make a rough Overview of the situation, always with an eye on the battery and the right height, so that the enemy units are you guys and get information to equipment and function of each opponent. Also, monitoring systems and electrical power distribution, the sabotage, you can discover and as a result, your tactic plan.
Everything is going according to Plan, right?
But, unfortunately, your well laid plans of the technological auxiliary agents of the enemies destroyed. Small drones are annoying, but relatively quickly switched off – in contrast to the, I call them again, shoot cars out of the cave, for which you need plenty of ammunition to bring these to Explode – and this of course does not remain unnoticed. These autonomously-controlled drones take you lots of health, they have you in their sights. And it is pretty bitter, if you like to play in Stealth mode, everything is actually by plant and it is then discovered, however, just from these devil machines. Visually, they look great and fit well in the futuristic-designed island, and their technical progress, but, unfortunately, they differ in their strength, really very rather not very intelligent human A. I. opponents. Because of a lack of Balance, even if I personally, especially as a big Fan of Horizon Zero, the Dawn, the concept of the advanced technical threats great find. Longtime players of the series are likely to be less enthusiastic about this new kind of opponent, since they are atypical for the series. Something disturbing is the very frequently occurring Bugs were Working, but were fixed after the first servicing almost all, and me only once a life difficult to have made. And I am confident that soon another Patch will appear to improve Performance.
Ghost Recon, but in a different way
But let’s talk about the elephant in the room – longtime Fans of the series, the latest offshoot is not very good, if you look at a few comments and Videos. And a is true, since the Release of the first part in 2001, has changed a lot. I have Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint from the eyes of a series newcomer is considered and have to say that the title, in my eyes, looks as if Far Cry 5 and The Division 2 a child. The large array of Loot boxes and bonuses that could be called for real-money his or her Own has also made me a little suspicious, but since I’m generally very much against these Pay-2-Win Trend, and my focus is more on Story campaigns, as in PVP, it didn’t affect me during the Test. Ubisoft is in the meantime also a little backtracked and declared that the bonuses are actually for a later point for the Release were meant to have, so players who later join, faster, can catch up. Due to the many hidden places, boxes and instructions also so much fast enough In-Game coal, however, can accumulate, the optical embellishments, weapons or driving – and flyable can set spend.
Certain objects can only by completing faction or Ghost Was games missions free. Group missions will be re-generated daily and will let you small tasks to strengthen the resistance to complete. As a thanks you get a few Battle points awarded, and for each of the ascended tier, you will receive bonuses. The Ghost Was missions you completed in the PVP mode, and include, among other things, the task to kill 10 enemies or 10 Times by the Association for the cure during a Match to install. Here, too, special rewards for you! Unfortunately, the menu is somewhat confusing and it takes a relatively long time to find what you are looking for – be it a Mission, a specific item of equipment. How the Pay-2-Win principle, have an impact on the game play and Endgame, will be able to show the time only.
Ghost vs. Wolf
The Story campaign, you can gamble either alone, or with the support, has been implemented well and the characters seem so alive and authentic. Only the facial animations could have been a bit better designed. Yes, I got a Tick, in terms of the motion of the eyebrows during conversations. Because these are not moving it is not desirable to have said often the emotional Impact it could have. This has worked in other Ubisoft titles, even better and looked better. The story of the former comrades Ltd. Commander Walker, of the turns out now as the big bad Wolf, was exciting and tied me to the Gamepad. Jon Bernthal, of the embodied Walker, has been integrated by means of Motion-Capturing the game and was visibly hear the fun in his role, and the and also, if you get him face to face.
The Story missions send you across Auroa and it is recommended to explore the island via helicopter and long distances, with a fantastic panoramic back. You can discover on your Route, the dispersed bivouacs, and as fast travel points unlock. Of course, you can also explore by bike or a car, the Open World, but your opponents by the noise relatively quickly on you. And if you want to go somewhere, would attract a lot of carnage on your way to the length. On the other hand, the way of the Looting of new Equipment combine.
In addition to numerous objects, such as clothing, Tattoos or Info to bivouacs breaks for weapons and improvements can also be blue this find. You can always customize your weapons in the menu, and reinforce or parts such as a muffler, add. In addition, you can colorize your weapons and other Equipment, either complete, or individual parts. The constant Find new and better items to be motivated to travel the Open World and explore the numerous question marks on your TacMap. Ubisoft has here for massive Content taken care of, but most of the question marks consist of a small group of opponents, in which it rewards to be found there. Here are a few more side quests, like in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey , or even Far Cry, desirable to have been.
We play together
In the main base, Erewhon, you can start the PVP mode and RAID and also have a look at other players that are in the cave. To Connect with PVP Matches to work up to a single Time, good and fast. Played with either the Random or Custom 4 against 4 players. Before it starts you can get a rough Overview of the Map and your tactics on the fly, provided you communicate via a Headset, and plan. Your goal is your enemies, and as a glorious winner to emerge. In the middle of the Map you can get after a certain amount of time access to a surveillance system and so the whereabouts of your opponents. But beware – even at this Moment you become visible, and are thus vulnerable! After a certain time the Radius of the playing field begins to shrink and you must now hurry your opponents off. Should you fall in battle, can heal a member of your team you and your Team so zoom in again. A Raid test, were not, unfortunately, enough players with correspondingly high Equipment available.
CONCLUSION
I personally had a lot of fun Exploring Auroa and the fight against the Wolves. The Story has captivated me and I wanted to know how it goes. Even if the facial animations – please more eyebrow movements in Play! – sometimes the Immersion a little clouded, so the characters have given, at least as regards the synchronization of all the greatest effort to convey emotions credibly. Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint is apparently more to genre newcomers, the up to now rather less interested in the tactical Shooter series had and encounter with new mechanics and die-hard Fans of the series to the head. A pity, in my eyes, something rarely existing Soundtrack, the atmosphere of the game was to paint to, because only in battle or out of Radios in the Camps, you will hear some music.Personally, I was entertained during my test time and I enjoyed my time in Auroa. But I must apologize now, because to be able to the Tank Top, my Tattoos are better seen and not procured by themselves!
