    Anyone playing the Open Beta?

    Really smooth gameplay and graphics are nice. Open world concept is awesome so far.

    I just don't knoww about this one. It feels less polished than The Division's beta as a third person shooter in that utilizing cover, moving between cover and peeking around walls all feel clunky. Clearing out an enemy location turns into "tag the green boxes" game where you mindlessly run around opening crates to get XP. Only one person can open at a time, leading to everyone waiting their turn to tag the crate. It's an open world game that is sparsely populated and lots of down time as you fly your helicopter to the next objective.

    The biggest pro of this game is the early engagement of enemy camps. Teams are greatly rewarded for synchronized attacks and not alerting the enemy. But this can also lead to frustration among teammates. I had a teammate who would always shoot anyone he saw before we could coordinate an attack, leading to the enemy being alerted to our presence and a mission restart.

    Cover and peaking are definitely lacking compared to The Division!

    So far my friends and I are enjoying. Division definitely needed drivables after having played Wildlands. Hope it doesn't get boring after a few months like Division.

    I've been playing BF1 but really missed the game play of Division. I really like the slower, more tactical play of Wildlands verses the high speed play of BF1.

    I was soooo excited to play but was kinda let down. No leaning? The game feels a lot like GTA in my opinion. i liked that when playing solo the NPCs kind of took care of themselves but I still found times where they would be off jackin' off in the woods while the rest of us are 50M from them.

    The vehicle physics are weird. Like the cars are held magnetically to the ground when they're supposed to jump off something, and drifts/skids are weird. Reminds me of slot cars. I know driving isn't the main principle of the game, but still bothered me.

    I was so hyped up for the division for like 3 years since the first trailer, and when I finally got it, a week later I felt like it was the biggest let down. I beat the story single player for the Division and never played it much since.
    A co-worker bought GR: Wildlands for both of us, mainly because he wanted to be sure someone else would be playing with him. I'm looking forward to it, hopefully it will be better than the division.
    I like all of the Tom Clancy games, the Division is the first and only one I didn't like or go back an replay at least once.

    I'm looking forward to the 4 on 4 "multiplayer" in Wildlands. Should be fun when I can get 3 friends on at the same time.

    We went hard last spring when Division came out and it replaced our "guys night" once a month or so get togethers. We ended up having guys night virtually several days a week. I think it got old with their spouses so now it's harder for everyone to logon at the same time!

    Yeah, cool so far. Definitely gotta play co-op with people that use microphone though. And people that'll actually work together and strategize.

    I'm really enjoying this one. Played the beta, and bought the game on release day. I've been playing with some buddies in anywhere from 2 to 4 man groups. Sometimes we'll get on and screw around - steal a few copters or planes, find some intel or weapons crates, and other times we'll actually run a few missions. Its cool to have something a little more tactical and a little less run-and-gun as most FPS have become.

    Yep, it's been pretty enjoyable. I don't care much for single player or even co-op with random people since most of the time they don't use microphone. But with a few buddies it's a great time. Good action but also just fun toolin' around the maps exploring!

    Game is fun until they updated it on PC. Now I can only play for about 15 minutes before it crashes

    Same thing happened to my buddy... Luckily(?) I'm on PS4

    Overall, they did a nice job with the game!

    Game is definitely fun to play. Im just mad about this crashing. I sold my PS4 a few months ago as I played on my PC more than the PS4. I just want to play the game without issues.

    Dude I was just like you were with The Division. I waited 3yrs for that piece of shit. It was nothing like we were promised. I got a good deal on Ghost Recon Wildlands and I've got to say that I'm digging the gameplay. It's not perfect by any means but it is so much better than The Division. I love the open world concept of the game and the AI is pretty damn good at following orders. I love sync shot. Hell.... I'll take over a base without firing a shot sometimes lol. I haven't really completed much of the story mode but have been basically running around picking up attachments for my weapons. It's a fun diversion if you have a few hours to kill.

    Anybody still playing GR:W? we beat the story awhile back, and I started again this weekend because I got an email for the Predator mission. He keeps kicking my ass, but I started Narco Road. Figured there is still a lot to this game that I haven't gotten into yet. Have Fallen Ghosts also.

    Still play this game. LOVE the maps and how open everything is. Very satisfying game. Love the slowness and tactical nature of this game. I've been playing it since Day One and love it. Level 13 on the Tier mode. Its like Assassins Creed with guns. XB1.
