This is my 5th most played game on Steam, mostly because I’ve played through the campaign solo once, then replayed it with a friend, then re-replayed with another friend. Plus, after the campaign is over, there are daily missions you can complete that change every day, so it’s not like you run out of things to do in-game.
Slots #4-7 in my most-played games list are all Tom Clancy games, actually. As a former military guy, I actually love Tom Clancy games. It’s fun to compare them to reality. Yeah, there are a lot of fantasy future-tech situations in those games, but sometimes a real-world military scenario plays out, and it’s fun to compare/contrast with how the military actually operates.
This particular screenshot was snapped while I was fighting a Behemoth tank. I was getting my butt kicked with little progress, so I decided it would be easier to just nuke it from the air with an Overseer helicopter with Mk. II guided missiles.
Little did I know, the Behemoth also has missiles and locked onto me as soon as I came within range. This is me bailing out before my helicopter was blown to bits. I was too close to dodge the guided missiles in time.
Below is a shot of my usual team: two of my close friends (left and right) and me (center). Ignore the floating backpack in the foreground. 😅 It glitched and stayed in place when we entered the bivouac.
My buddies modeled their characters’ appearance after themselves, but I like to play as women if given the opportunity. I was raised by a strong, independent-type woman (and also married one!), so I always lean toward women protagonists in my games. Action hero men are boring and overplayed, in my opinion. 😜
When you’re playing co-op, the whole map is available. You don’t have to stick together, you can go do anything you want while playing with friends.
One of my friends is a wildcard and likes to go start shit every time we play, so he just runs off and terrorizes enemy compounds on his own. While my other buddy and I actually stick to the mission and take out our targets.
We tried to play along with our other friend, but he has no sense of subtlety and always makes a mess, so we just let him rampage somewhere else on the map while we’re accomplishing the actual stealth mission.
He loves to shoot everything he can with a helicopter, then crash it into the enemy base and jump out guns blazing. He’s the absolute opposite of a Ghost operative. 😅
Lol nice. I looked it up, and I’m surprised the game is damn near full price on steam, at $50; plus all the DLCs.
Good thing I own it on console.
Yeah, I always wait for Steam sales before I buy games. No way I’m paying $50+ for a game I don’t even know if I’ll enjoy. Fortunately, the Tom Clancy franchise goes on sale pretty regularly.
