Any technological advances outside our time-period are centered on the Ghost soldiers themselves, which shows in their gear and abilities. It doesn’t go as far as putting flying cars into cities, but it certainly doesn’t push for visuals that look next-decade, which is a total letdown. Though, for all the variety in the environments, the lack of any future elements conveys more generic sterility than a unique future world. The (insubstantial) story leads to some real world locales, from Russia and the Middle East to snow covered mountains, deserts, and secret military installations. The story takes place in the near future, in which soldiers have holographic HUDs, optical camo, and as many vision modes as any skull-polishing Predator. The latest title, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Future Soldier, further follows the trend of integrating cool gadgetry into your arsenal, making you feel more like a Halo Spartan than a modern fighting. The entire story campaign can be played with four other buddies, Guerrilla takes your entourage through horde gameplay, and cooperative emphasis in multiplayer is a beast all its own. Future Soldier comes in three meaty chunks, all with a huge emphasis on playing well with others.
