Ghost Recon: Future Soldier
Ubisoft Announces Ghost Recon Live Action Film
If you’re looking forward to Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, Ghost Recon Online, and Ghost Recon Network, you now have one more thing to add to that list: Ghost Recon Alpha. A 25 minute live-action short film, Ghost Recon Alpha serves as a prequel of sorts to Ghost Recon: Future Soldier. The four characters seen in the film are the same playable characters in Future Soldier, while the film itse...[Read More]
Marooners’ Talk: Episode 027 – “Thom Clancy Talks Ghost Recon”
If that episode title doesn’t grab your attention, then I don’t know what will. What’s that? I spelled his name wrong? No, we weren’t lucky enough to have Tom Clancy himself join in and discuss his creation. In “Thom Clancy Talks Ghost Recon,” the 27th episode of Marooners’ Talk, I, along with Thom Clancy, son of Tom Clancy, talk about our experiences with...[Read More]
Ghost Recon: Future Soldier – Gunsmith
One of the things that impressed me most about Ghost Recon: Future Soldier back at E3 last year was the Gunsmith feature. It remains one of the features I am most eagerly anticipating when I get my hands on the game. Gunsmith is an absolutely phenomenal feature in Ghost Recon: Future Soldier that allows you to customize your weapon piece by piece, using your controller or using voice/motion throug...[Read More]
Ghost Recon: Future Soldier – Multiplayer Beta Impressions
Let me start by saying this: Ghost Recon: Future Soldier’s multiplayer has come a long way since E3 last year, and it was already tight and fairly well balanced back then. This game is smooth, fun, addictive, and the most fun I’ve had with friends online in a very long time. Are there some issues with it? Yeah, it’s a beta. There’s some lag and I hate snipers (not because I can’t snipe…at al...[Read More]

Ghost Recon: Future Soldier Multiplayer Trailer
The multiplayer beta for Ghost Recon: Future Soldier is now exactly one week away. Hopefully by now you’ve either found your copy of Splinter Cell Conviction, pre-ordered the game, or made sure you were a PlayStation Plus subscriber in order to secure access to aforementioned beta. If not…chop chop. A Ghost’s most valuable weapon is preparation. With time slipping away, we’...[Read More]
Ghost Recon: Future Soldier Multiplayer Beta Dated and Ghost Recon Network Announced
The term “two weeks” is very powerful. For Tom Hanks and Shelley Long in the 1986 classic The Money Pit, “two weeks” was the timeline for home completion…for months. Now, I’m going to say it. Two weeks. My “two weeks” has two meanings. First, it’s the time until April 19th, which marks the beginning of the Ghost Recon: Future Soldier multiplaye...[Read More]
Ghost Recon: Future Soldier Gets a PC Date and System Requirements
Ghost Recon: Future Soldier is easily one of my most anticipated titles for calendar year 2012. I loved my experience with it at E3 last year, and everything I’ve seen supporting it over the last few months has been absolutely spectacular. I’ll be playing on the Xbox 360, since I currently lack a PC capable of playing even the simplest of games, but with today’s announcement of G...[Read More]
Marooners’ Talk: Episode 023 – “Looking Forward”
The original idea for this episode of the Marooners’ Talk podcast was to really get into our anticipated titles for the rest of calendar year 2012. While we eventually got around to that, I believe our first 30-45 minutes focused on Internet providers, Doctor Who, used games, and various other topics. Come to think of it, the last 15 minutes kind of got off topic, too, so you’ve got ab...[Read More]
Ghost Recon: Future Soldier – Guerilla Mode
Following the trend set by many shooters over the past few years, Ghost Recon: Future Soldier is incorporating a horde/firefight mode. Guerilla Mode, as it’s called in GRFS, was included to provide a more intense mode where the player would be able to feel overwhelmed, as if it were “four against an army.” On your own, split-screen, on a LAN, or online with your friends, you can ...[Read More]
Ghost Recon: Future Soldier – Valiant Hammer Co-Op with Commentary
Ghost Recon: Future Soldier’s co-operative campaign is not for people like, oh I don’t know, let’s say my wife. Why do I use her as an example? She’s a loose cannon, a wild card, a loner. In co-op games where teamwork and cohesiveness are of paramount importance, she plays it like it’s Halo. Needless to say, she’s probably not invited to our GRFS co-op games whe...[Read More]
Ghost Recon: Future Soldier – Believe in Ghosts Episode 3
With Episode 3 of Believe in Ghosts, we reach the end of our journey through Ghost Recon: Future Soldier with Richard “Mack” Machowicz, former Navy SEAL sniper/scout. We’ve seen the importance of stacking the odds in your favor, the importance of having the right weapons and tools for the job, and now we see the vital nature of intelligence gathering and sharing and how it relat...[Read More]
