*Ghost Recon Online* is a free-to-play multiplayer PC shooter set in the
future. If you're new to the Ghost Recon franchise, the premise is that there
are an *elite group of soldiers* in the future called "Ghosts." They are
armed with futuristic weapons like a microwave gun and more traditional
assault rifles. *Gameplay* After you've created an account with Ubisoft for
Ghost Recon Online, you will be given a download link for the game launcher.
The *game asset download is 6GB* so grab a snack while it downloads. Once you
launch Ghost Recon Online, you are given a quick tutorial about the controls
and basic gameplay mechanics. Most levels in Ghost Recon Online are *point
captures* where you and your team will have to stay at an certain point on
the map long enough to 'capture it.' Capping more points increases the amount
of time you are given to capture additional points. Ghost Recon Online is
best played with team combat because run-and-gun tactics won't work to your
advantage. You will rely heavily on cover so *use the environment to your
advantage*. If you are spotted by the enemy, your silhouette will be visible
to the entire team so move quickly to another spot for cover. The *element of
surprise plays a critical role* in helping you get kills. You are able to
cling to cover in different stances giving you better cover. There are
*different classes of solders* you can play, such as 'Recon' or 'Assault.'
Choose the one that fits your style of gameplay the most. There are tons of
weapons to unlock and achievements. Ghost Recon Online encourages players to
play every day with *weekly challenges and rewards*. After a set of rounds
are over, you are given points for experience and in-game money used to
purchase and upgrade your equipment. You can also use real money to purchase
Ghost Recon Online's premium currency. *Graphics and performance* The
graphics in Ghost Recon Online are good and the game as a whole runs
surprisingly well on lower end hardware. You'll still want a good GPU to play
Ghost Recon Online with the highest settings but even low settings are
acceptable. *Environments in Ghost Recon Online are rich and detailed*.
Character models are fully realized and additional equipment is displayed on
the character model. Since you can customize your character, it makes it easy
to recognize different soldier classes. Keep in mind that Ghost Recon Online
requires a persistent Internet connection and increasing the graphics quality
can cause lag also. *Areas for improvement* One of the biggest problems with
Ghost Recon Online is with balance. Some *maps favor one side* by providing
better cover or a choke point where enemies can camp and pick off opponents.
*Newbies will also be outclassed by more seasoned players*. Higher level
players have access to more powerful weapons than those just starting out.
Ubisoft needs to optimize their netcode to alleviate the lag that the game
currently has during lots of combat. *Conclusion* *While Ghost Recon Online
is far from perfect, its fun gameplay and satisfying leveling system make it
a solid online multiplayer shooter.*Download *Ghost Recon Online 1.27.3703.3*
