Rumored Ghost Recon Game Described as Gritty, Realistic, and Modern Warfare-Like
The newGhost Recongame is rumored to take heavy inspiration from theModern Warfareseriesin both gameplay and tone. Graphically, the game is described as comparable to VOID Interactive’sReady or Not.Project Overis set during the fictional Naiman War, and aims to include controversial missions, such as a squad coming close to shooting a man carrying a baby, because they believed the baby in the man’s hands to be a bomb.
This described mission may sound familiar toFPS playerswho are aware of the controversialClean Housemission from the 2019Modern Warfaregame, where players are tasked with raiding a house, leading to the discovery of a mother and her child. If the player chooses to kill the mother, the soldiers question the player’s choices, and players who attempt to enact violence on the baby have their screen cut to black and are given a game over, with the game emphasizing the message that “children are non-combatants,” chastising the player for their choices.
