" Ghost Recon: Future Soldier is the fifth entry in the Ghost Recon series. Fight on a four-man Ghost Team using customizable weapons and the brand new feature, "optical camouflage". "

Future Soldier opens with a four-man Ghost Team call-signed "Predator", led by Joe Ramirez, deployed in Nicaragua to disrupt weapons trafficking in the region. Upon inspection of the convoy vehicles, a dirty bomb is remotely detonated, killing the team. Investigating the cause and tracking down the source of the bomb is tasked to another Ghost team call-signed "Hunter", consisting of Ghost Leader Captain Cedric Ferguson, Staff Sergeant John Kozak, Master Sergeant Robert "Pepper" Bonifacio, and Sergeant First Class Jimmy "30K" Ellison. The team ships out under the supervision of Major Scott Mitchell.

Mitchell informs the team of their new mission to rescue an arms dealer named Paez in Bolivia who has information about where the bomb came from. The team rescues Paez and then proceeds to follow the trail of guns from Zambia where they eliminate a local warlord, then to Nigeria, Pakistan, Norway, and finally into Russia, where the team destroys an arms shipment at an airport, causing an international incident.

IGN Rating
8.5| Presentation
Clever tech and cool effects capture the near-future setting perfectly, but the dialogue is pretty forgettable.
8.5| Graphics
There are moments when Future Soldier looks drop dead gorgeous, but these are offset by clunky textures and some bland backgrounds.
8.5| Sound
The soundtrack is forgettable but effects - from the crack of gunfire to the all-consuming wall of sound when the Ghosts are in a sandstorm - enhance the overall experience.
9  | Gameplay
The considered action and balanced pacing make Future Soldier a refreshing change, but it's the subtle improvements - the tagging, cover-switch and UAV drone - that really bring the game to life.
8.5| Lasting Appeal
The campaign lasts around 10 hours but it's definitely worth replaying in co-op, plus the multiplayer, while nothing that new, is enjoyable enough.
