Ghost recon Breakpoint ** Official thread

All the posts for this new game are appearing in the Wildlands thread so thought it a good idea to make a new one

Just downloading it now so hopefully I can get into it after doing the same bit three time in the beta tests

For an official thread the opening post lacks details, at least a link to official website

I'm not but for official thread a bit more effort to provide some info would be nice. It's the only game specific thread on the first page that has no details about the actual game.

I only started it because everyone was posting on a thread for a different game, I would think most people looking at this thread will already have read all about it elsewhere without additional help.

Otherwise someone do another thread and this one can be deleted

Someone posted a Breakpoint video, not seen one before

right, I've played for an hour, shot through the first bit as per the Beta & raced non stop to the nowhere camp. Most of the time when there is something loading I get a complete black screen, is that normal or what?

Yes, servers are down, is this the shape of things to come? you buy a game and can't play because it's online only. I can foresee a big backlash over this

I was enjoying this until i hit the more mountainous areas and oh my god the game mechanic for slipping is beyond ridiculous, your character has to have the worst balance in history to be slipping down a slight gradient where you completely lose control of your character.

Agreed, it's like they are climbing with roller skates on and then after a slight slip they are totally exhausted, hopefully addressed in a patch

Headsup that patch 2.1 which adds AI teammates along with a bunch of new items and features is released later today.

I will reinstall it and give it another go if they are finally adding teammates although there are lots of other problems to contend with compared to the previous GR games.

Reinstalled and played for a couple of hours, the AI are about the same as in Wildlands, sometimes they are very helpful and other times they are pants. Mostly however I found it it far better than playing solo. A couple of times one remained behind when I moved off but suddenly reappeared if I went to get in a vehicle. When meeting enemies they won't fire unless ordered or the enemy opens up first then they will do their job, also of course one of them is automatically a medic should you end up badly wounded.

After reinstalling it I've got a lot more enjoyment thanks to the AI buddies and now continuing to follow the actual story, the AI are slow to react sometimes but they have also saved my ass a few times.
I'm playing mostly from rocket helicopters to attack bases before landing and sometimes having to evade missiles by swerving all over the place.

One of the most annoying things is the constant 'dangerous area' warnings that keep popping up and is even worse when blocking the view whilst driving fast, what is the point of this when the whole place is apparently dangerous.
