Ghost Recon Onlinelooks pretty decent, if very similar to other free-to-play games that have preceded it. Perhaps the ol' Tom Clancy touch will be enough. Ubisoft has put out a new trailer that focuses on the game's classes and gives a glimpse at the customization options.
Good timing, since the company also brings word that the closed beta for Ghost Recon Online will commence on March 5. Yes, sign-ups are open, so go do that.
Jordan Devore is Destructoid's PC gaming manager and founding ginger editor. He is said to be easy to love but difficult to know. When Samit inquired about his curious bio photo Jordan simply replied: "bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

Yeah, I got a...um....uh....a dentist appointment? Sorry, Ghosts. No offense, but I think your time in the spotlight is done. Or maybe it's the whole "PC game from Ubisoft" deal that's turning me off.
I didn't know this was a thing that existed. Must be that I was confusing this with Ghost Recon: Future Soldier. It looks like this is to Ubisoft what "Battlefield: Play 4 Free" is to EA. And if you pause at 1:09 in the video above, you can see that weapons cost(for example); 1800 RP's or 5 Gold Coins.
I'm guessing RP = "Recon Points" and the "Gold Coins" are Real Money converted into their currency. That's the part that makes Free to Play games very scummy. I will still play the game but I won't be buying anything. Just like how I play Battlefield:Play4Free but don't buy their garbage TF2-style junk.
anytime you can buy gear and weapons in a game with real money (cheat your way through) and not earn them ruins the game in my eyes and will not waste my time buying a game that allows it. why pay for a game to only buy everything to make me the top of the line from the get-go? whats the point? theres a difference in letting people buy different style clothes or pets n what not that doesnt change how you play or how good you are but simply letting people buy their way to defeating others is a complete FAIL! just my opinion n why i dont buy games that allow it
Amazing... another gold-encrusted, Ubisoft-flavored turd! Well, at least it's F2P online; that way when the sub-par earnings come in for their mediocre game in an overpopulated genre, they'll be forced to face reality. Or maybe they'll just quit PC development altogether, and develop their own flavor of DRM that takes you straight to court after one install. Them dang pirates!

So this is like... the Ubisoft's shooter.
