Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Phantoms

[Tibe]

Found it on Steam by accident. Was free 2 play so I figured what the hell. The name is just completely retarded. "Duh I quess we cant call it Ghost Recon Ghosts, so lets call it Phantoms". The name is also stupid because there aint much ghosting(Phantoming), since its mostly straight up heavy firefights.

Despite the stupid name I played a few matches sofar and I kinda like it. All the gadgets kinda keep it from turning into coverwars and the covermechanics and movement are just so enjoyable. Atleast I enjoy it. It feels so fluid. Give it a go guys and add here if you got stuff to add about it.

Been playing it for 20-30 hours now since Phantoms was released. It's a great and fun game. But if you're not putting any money into the game you have to spend a loooooooooooooooooooooooong time to unlock shit and get better stuff. And the matchmaking goes after your rank, not your tier. We're always fighting tier 7's with our tier 2 weapons and we're getting raped.

I'd rather pay once for the game and enjoy it than having to buy all these passes and put money into it (which I haven't done yet and probably wont)

Been playing a bit of it, real fun.

I played a match and did a kill streak of 5 by camping in two corners.

They passed me all the time and I just shot down at least 2 guys everytime like that.

Game itself is interesting, but the more I read about it, the more I see this pay to win, or grindwall problem coming up.

Not cool at all.

Yea, I kinda noticed it too. Getting cash takes time and stuff costs quite a bit and the tierthing has its issues. Meh, I quess il stick around for a little bit, till i feel the game has unjustly screwed me.

I've played a few rounds with all three classes and I've definitely enjoyed a shotty with the support's shield bubble and just running down enemies

It's about as pay2win as it gets. Kinda sad, cause it is quite fun at times.

Like Basnak said, the game sets matches based upon levels and better stuff comes in tiers. The 2 arent related. You can basically buy tiers if u have the money, but u need to play to gain levels. So lvl 1 can have topnotch gear when u buy it for real money and they can rape with that for a very long time, until they finally reach the higher levels where they meet equally equipped nolifefreegrinders or other p2wcunts. Its a shit game cause people who pay get to rape the nonpaying players mercilessly almost forever, while the ones not paying will either fight equally equipped or overly equipped enemies almost forever.  So technically if you dont cough up some deniro for Ubisoft you will be a scrub for life.

GG on dropping the ball Ubicunt. This shit had some heavy potential, but they screwed it up with being greedy. Why the fuck would anyone wanna make a squad and play with their friends who havent bought stuff for real cash if the matches set them up with OP squads who have?

I play it quite often, it has/had great potential. I have become pretty good at playing p2w games without giving a single cent to buy stuff, I just hate the overall idea of noobs buying shit to enjoy a game.

This game is as p2w as it can get indeed, the big problem is that ubisoft doesn't give a flying fuck about shit unless there is money to be made out of it. They keep adding absolutely OP weapons and nerf them when the next one comes out and the whole economic system is built to make people pay for stuff. They really don't care about  balance, just about cash and if there is none to be made they won't put time in fixing shit or balancing things out.

It's gotten worse with the new latest patch, ready times are all close to zero and it's getting closer to CoD than one of the first shooters in it's kind like it was before.
