Ghost Recon Online - Free-to-play

Here's what RPS had to say about it:

The hamsters of Ubisoft Singapore’s employees must have the most luxurious cages of all the rodents. I imagine their owners coming home with a pile of Tom Clancy books and world bibles and tossing them at the paper-loving cricetinaes, saying: “we don’t need these anymore”. Ghost Recon Online looks like a fun free-to-play shooter, but realism is not its focus, as is evident in the trailer below.

Take the Assault class: he has a portable pack that deploys ‘heat’, dropping a column of boiling hot air over your target and disrupting them. In fact, most of the special abilities are little more than legitimised hacks. There’s almost no chance of me not playing Recon, given he can turn invisible and use a ‘visual interrogator’: basically a wallhack. The Specialist class has a portable shield, a dome of light that can reflect bullets.

It does look like fun, and Ubisoft’s shooters tend to be enjoyable, if rather niche, but realism has been drop-kicked through a fan with this one

*Shrugs* I think it could be fun, realistic or not. After all, if I wanted it to be truly realistic, wouldn't I go join the army or something? :p

I scrounged around for more info and I'm less interested in what I found in Wikipedia instead. "This game will be supported by micro transactions, meaning that the player will "rent" a gun for n amount of days for a set price." Meh. I know it's free, so microtransactions don't really bug me any, but I won't be interested in paying.

Did you guys play the original Ghost Recon?

I remember how hard the first Ghost Recon was. But this looks kind of silly. Some of these weapons, rather than being futuristic, just seem silly. Micro-transactions are the norm for free to play shooters, and they will probably also have a credits system so you can still get upgrades just by playing a lot.
