Fallen Ghosts DLC

[supercat]

I got a badge for one shotting / headshotting one of the armored guys with a crossbow at a pretty high distance distance. I'm not really sure if that was linked.

What is your opinion so far?

For me, Fallen Ghosts is basically Unidad DLC, because they are practically behaving like Unidad.

And tbh, tactical wise, the enemies aren't that much smarter. I haven't feel the difference. The difficulty lies on the quantity of the Los Extranjeros spawned.

Also I'm not sure if this was changed game-wide by the last patch or Fallen Ghosts specific, but the bushes can hide you very well.

I was doing a Tower Cast and was engaged badly. Then I hid under thick bushes and I managed to actually hide like Sam Fisher and Los Extranjeros just walked passed by me, allowing me to do knife stealth kill from behind.

I'm really enjoying Fallen Ghosts. It's the DLC I was really hyped for, Narco Road was just a cool idea compared to Fallen Ghosts. I love everything from the crossbow, knife takedowns all the way up to the actual new enemies. They are Unidad, that's what they are, they're outsourced Unidad help basically - with a different caliber of skill. Hiding in all greenery in the DLC is a must, it helps you go untouched so much.

I'm guessing that since you have a toon specifically for Fallen Ghosts that you can't get the xbow for your normal toon, correct?

Sadly that's the case. I'd spend all my time getting crossbow kills on the main game if I could lol. Such a dope weapon to master.

Why is this another DLC where you have to use a different toon than the one you played the main game with?  What's the point of leveling a toon only to not be able to use it in the DLC.  I'm a season pass holder, but I probably would not play this for a while because I still haven't beaten the main story or played Narco Road. 

I agree, I totally don't get it why they completely separated the DLC's from the main game and don't make a better use of the sandbox and gunsmith system.

Agreed on the gunsmith.  I like that it's about 90% of what they did in GR:FS, but I wish there was a range worn targets at multiple distances so you could mod your weapons and then test them out.

Ubisoft... ?

- Different timeline

- Different theme

- Different world situation

- Different point of view (for Narco Road)

- Putting you one step backwards as a challenge by not having your full arsenal

Very easy to understand why.

And I definitely prefer a three separate mode than having both DLC cluttering Story Mode, warping space and time, or using point of no return to access each DLC. I'm pretty sure you don't want that too and wishing the DLC to be separate modes when that happens. I guarantee.

I'm a very tolerant guy. I'm aware people's preferences are always different. Therefore I never see things like "this one is must-play" or "this one is great (cuz I say so)"...

..but if you like the original content of GRW, you can look forward to have more fun and challenge with Fallen Ghosts.

The new type of enemies really slows you down. While the side mission types are both inspired by vanilla GRW, such as 'survive n defend', 'building raid n rescue', and also the good one from Narco Road, such as finding X with picture clues. Despite of being having similarities in side mission nature (which I believe also prone to be complained, because 'similar'), I found the ones here are actually put you to think outside the box. If you do the good ol' "this enemy is right here, I'm gonna kill em", then probably you'll fail miserably. I also find enemies are tighter, they like to be in group, which encourage you to use Sync Shot or distraction.

@GhostRecon: New satellite imaging received. Ghosts, you can now access the terrain from Narco Road and Fallen Ghosts on the GRHQ app. https://twitter.com/GhostRecon/status/872120928913764354/photo/1

Not sure of the significance of that.

Sure this makes totally sense in the current form and state of the game - after all that's how they've designed and developed it now. I'm happy you like that approach and direction and I'm sure many other players do too. Just I personally think the game would have benefited more from a combined loot system and a global character creation concept... and if they would have launched the game with a PVP mode. But I do have to say I've had an awesome time grinding the original story and missions!

The solution to the problem is simple. They could have just given an option for players to import their Story Mode character progress or start anew with developer's own preset character. 

The Narco Road glitch in the previous update proves that there's no boundary within the modes, except Ubisoft's made-up 'padlocks'.

Even unlockable content from seasonal challenge, paid content, and UbiClub bonus are usable in all modes.

I don't know why they limit it. I myself prefer to have my Story Mode character build rather than the one with preset full-stat build where everything is unlimited.
