Ghost Recon Online Open Beta Starts
Ghost Recon Online used it's super hi-tech gizmos to sneak into open beta late last week.
Ubisoft quietly pushed GRO from closed beta into open beta with nary a sound to be heard. The free to play shooter set in the GR universe has been in beta for several months. Unlike most F2P shooters available, GRO aims to provide a more tactical experience for players. Players can seek cover behind walls which alter their firing stats, allowing them to shoot with less recoil for example. There is also a class system in place which each class gaining significantly different abilities/perks including; a bullet proof mobile bubble, heat ray, personal cloaking, and more.
We go a chance to try out Ghost Recon Online during the closed beta. Check out our First Look to find out what we thought of the game.

It isn't just xDefiant being impacted, though. Over 200 employees will reportedly be laid off.
Heroic Tavern Brawl is back, too, but that starts tomorrow.
There’s apparently a lot to look forward to.
The anime short is just a couple of days away.
Outside the engine department, where Warface wins over Ghost Recon easily, it would be really hard to say which one is a better game. I enjoyed them both very much, on multiple occasions, sideways.
Unbalanced, especially leveling up:

When you play a strategy game; you should limit classes that enter a match. Sadly, this game cant do that. All of its population want to be snipers, you cant block class...So, everyone rolls snipers and the game is crap. The solution is to nerf snipers, but you take realism out of the game. SERIOUSLY, wait for WARFACE.

I am shocked at how similar these games play out and it is interesting that warcry holds back out of the english market right now, even though the game is designed and operates perfectly with an english language pack. Just more market manipulation.
Long live the private servers on both of these titles ^^
Any help here guys?

It does have its bugs, and weapon damage really needs to be buffed. But other than that, it seems like a good F2P game.
