I am not venting for no reason. I am venting with ALL the other people who think campaign sucks, and I am doing it on the ubisoft forums in hopes that the company will take the feedback and modify future games. The game SHOULD be judged on the single player playability. Game developers should not assume all their customers have xbox live and play online. They should create a QUALITY game that can be played solo. a byproduct of that should be a quality online feature. They SHOULD NOT focus on an online multiplayer success with a pitiful one player game.

Agreed. For those of us who liked the older games, I feel this version is a slap in the face. It is so far from the format of the game that made it original
. No more open battlefields ESPICIALLY in ONLINE CAMPAIGN. Not having mactch making isa joke too. I don't care about their "reasons".

Lol...Viva Pinata

I didn't call anyone an idiot. As for being told what to do, that point is not opinion. the game tells you what to do. it DOES hold your hand. that is fact. it is not arguable or debatable.

Yes, thats the problem..There is no tactical options here..Your literally being told where to go, when, and even given indicatorsd on where to stand...Whats tactical about that? Your right its not some crappy shooter, its worse..Its a tactical shooter on rails...Laid out and half played for you..I make NO tactical decisions, i play how Ghost lead, and the indicators tell me too! Atleast GRAW 1 n 2 let me make some pathing options on most missions..Invisible walls, or narrow passageways make me stay in line here..Linear is an understatment! And yes, im playing on elite...The sync shots neat, but the entire campaign is saturated with it..I can sum up the campaign in 3 phases..Steathily move in, sync shot, get out fast in a hail of bullets....All with instructions givedn the entire time...

I dont want to play it again, sinse theres no rng, and the enmioes are in the same spot, on the same pathing nomatter which difficulty, or how many times you play each misssion..Its all trial and error..Keep trying each mission, and sync kill each enemy in the correct order so as not to alert...After 3 tries, you have the entire mission memorized... It sucks..Hell even if you do get an enemy whos in a challenging position, hell run out of cover and let yo9u shoot him!

GRAW was as lineair as hell, with the exact same invisible walls..i'm at mission 3 with grfs and allready had 5 open maps were we can decide how to approach the enemy..using gadgets, going stealth, guns blazin, sinc-shots...not tactical?...
Everything is a choice, even the sync shots!..

I am not saying the campaign is unplayable due to a glitch. The game is unplayable because it sucks.
You are right, many people are playing it and I am sure loving it. That doesn't make it a good game. There were probably just as many people who bought Viva Pinata or Pimp My Ride who loved those games too. I can't account for bad taste. I did qualify my post by saying I am only talking about campaign, I have not played online multiplayer. that part may be the best it has ever been.
Listen, I you need to be told what to do and when to do it in a game, then good on you. I am not as helpless as that. If you like having your hand held, by all means.

well when i read that last bit of ^^this^^ post, you actually do call them idiots!!..

Hey UBI... Ghost Recon lockdown!

Also, is it just me, or is the SP WAY more glitchy and unpolished than the MP? I have had no glitches or anything detrimental happen to me online, but the SP is filled with stuff that makes me shake my head at how little playtesting was done even after a complete overhaul of the game. I'm not hating on the game, I just wanna know if anyone feels the same way as me.

It's not just you. IT IS way more glithly and unpolished than the MP. It's as though they rushed the game out of the door. Feels like they released it without even a single playtesting.

And as a gamer who focuses more on SP aspect of a game than MP(That's why I sold my copy of BF3 on day 1 after I finished the campaign), this is sad.
It's even sadder because I like how it plays but all that glitches and bugs are ruining my SP campaign experience!!
Now that the game is out, I just hope they update the game to actually finish 'building' the campaign. FAST.

This is hands down the BEST campaign I've ever played!

Strictly because its FUN!

Here is a challenge I offer to any of you..... try playing through the ENTIRE campaign [on ELITE] w/o dying or failing any objectives.

Then tell me how easy it is!

I agree with this man. This is a very good game and you must play it on Elite in order to appreciate it. At this difficulty, when you are shot, you die. There were a few times where I had some issues but it was still fun. I just finished it on Elite. I will replay the missions with some friends. I want to complete all of the challenges on Elite difficulty.

Good Hunting Ghosts

whats with the invisible armor? If im invisible, how am i spotted so easily?

You're not invisible. There's a reason it's called "camouflage" and not "invisibility." It's like hiding in a dark shadow with black clothing, if someone is paying attention they can see you.

"Optical camouflage is a kind of active camouflage in which one wears a fabric which has an image of the scene directly behind the wearer projected onto it, so that the wearer appears invisible. The drawback to this system is that, when the cloaked wearer moves, a visible distortion is often generated as the 'fabric' catches up with the object's motion. The concept exists for now only in theory and in proof-of-concept prototypes, although many experts consider it technically feasible."

OT: In my opinion I think the campaign is actually fun. It's a nice change of pace from other shooters. Maybe it's because this is my first GR game (I can't help but notice that most people on these forums complaining claim to have played previous GR games) but I like the option to choose a stealthy approach versus opening fire on everybody you see.
