By far the best thing about Wildcards' début was the reveal that the entire game takes place in a massive open world - one that lives and breathes fluidly. No doubt taking inspiration from The Division, the fact that players now have such a massive playground to explore makes gameplay a whole new experience altogether, as the squad now has to contend with navigating hostile territory wherever they venture. The open world also brings with it a diversified environment. In the trailer we see everything from Bolivia's thick jungle foliage to snow-topped mountains and even salt plains, all adding to what looks to be a game jam-packed with variety. The ever changing landscape will also influence the tactics implemented by players, as cover gets less dense and even sheds away to reveal more exposed positions. No doubt this will make set-pieces even more enthralling, as gamers are propelled from one setting to the next. It'll be a great way to highlight the adaptability of Special Forces, and encourage players to use every weapon in their arsenal to achieve their objectives without death or injury.
