      dont get me wrong i loved wild lands but it just lacked tactical depth. The AI hive mind was super dumb for tactical combat, the "bullets more hurty" difficulty settings, all the clothing being down to what sponsors they had rather then any kind of depth to it, even in this video you still see the truck their chasing spawn behind them.

    Remember that Wildlands wasn't so popular at launch. Think I got it 3 years after launch and me and 3 other friends played the crap out of it. The thing I love the most is that even tho your heli get shootdown it doesn't explode in a ball of fire, it get's into a critical mode that let it actually crash to the ground from some hights before it explode so you and your friends actually have a chance to escape it when it crashed to the ground. It's very cinematic.

Difficulty settings were uneven. The UI was a mess. And there was fast-travel everywhere. Also, the story made the "good guys" seem prettry awful and the "bad guys" seem like they were actually helping Bolivia. You essentially de-stabilize the country and leave a bunch of people homeless and poor and consider that a "win". It's pretty messed up.

      I love playing no hud, though I could only ever play the second hardest difficulty since the hardest would get you aimbot one-tapped by a cholo gangster gripping a mac-10 in each hand from like 70 yards as soon as you were seen, which was not very immersive (note I say immersive not realistic cause idk maybe you could do that irl but I doubt it) and might be fine if I had friends to play with but with only the derpy bots it got old fast. Regardless no hud is the way to go and I still go back to play every now and then.

They were never may favourite but they were really good for what they were and very tactically sound. Wildlands -- while gorgeous, with a great map and weapon selection -- doesn't know what it wants to be. is it a simcade shooter or a tactical milsm? Is it an open-world exploration game or a fast-travel mission-based shooter? It has all of these contrasting and contradicting elements to its design, as Ubisoft was trying to make two games for opposing audiences.

    Weird, I haven't played this game in years, yet I think I recognize this spot 2:59 as the nuke mission location. Where you have to hold position [usually on that 8 ball building's rooftop] and then take the truck and drive it into the quarry before it explodes. I knew that whole Wildlands map like the back of my hand, which came in handy for doing the challenges. But they kept using the same building models over and over so maybe I'm wrong. Definity Deja vu for that mission when I saw the fountain and that building across the street though.
    I'd turn off all my HUD's for the story missions and then go into multi-player, forgetting to turn them back, on and end up shooting my own team. Fun stuff.

And I've only just gotten comfortable in Tier mode clearing buildings, after all these hrs (it's also my first shooter). I see why so many people carry the SMG now. But I'll never stop loving my AUG, I put the 3 round burst on it, and set it for max range loud, and Oof. It feels like a laser cannon the way it beams down enemies from a distance. The play feels good, but the scenery brings me back over and over again. What do you like about the game?

    Nowadays, yes games have better mechanics across the board. But the cool tactical things you could do with this game was freaking SICK.
