10 Forgotten Xbox 360 Games You Should Play In 2020
9. Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier
Can you remember a time when multiplayer in shooters was an optional choice, not an expected requirement? When always-online and microtransactions were a nasty, futuristic nightmare?
Or, to narrow this down, remember when Ghost Recon games were more refined experiences than asinine, open world fetch quests?
Well, Future Soldier remembers.
Ubisoft's last decent attempt at a story-driven squad shooter, after R6: Vegas jumped ship, Future Soldier was an incredibly tight shooter, single or multiplayer.
Whilst it may have removed a lot of the tactical, multi-approach scenarios that previous GR titles had, it still offers a tense and engaging campaign.
Adopting a Gears of War-like cover to cover system, Future Soldier broke from that mold by offering you ways to set up and pick your targets before engaging. Conversely, it also had some well-scripted action set pieces to spice things up too.
If you could get some friends in, all with differing loadouts granted by the Gunsmith customisation, Future Soldier was an absolute blast to play.
It's a shame it didn't shift units though, or maybe we wouldn't see the drudged out open-world messes we get now.
