It's easy as hell. Literally all the missions can be solved by half-assed stealth with little or no effort involved, even on higher difficulties.
Runs kinda poorly on my nearly top-end rig. (6-core i7, 1080, 32 GB Ram, etc.)
Super boring, shallow, and buggy as hell.
Same. I read they're supposed to add PVP after launch, that might make it worth it, but I sure ain't preordering.

I did make mine run better by lowering rendering to 80-90%

I couldn't find a way to invite you for some reason. If you go to the GR website, search for us: [LLJK] Task Force Mangosteen
I'll see the request and add you.
I found it but 2 different browsers show me the task force page but I can't click on anything because the cursor just keeps spinning forever. Tried it on the useless phone app and the mobile browser doesn't even display the menu you use to find the search. gg ubisoft

i dunno, if you get a chance try angryavatar again, it comes up when i search. maybe make sure you are logged in as ps4 not your ubi account? who knows. its a mess. I just made my own for now

I had that same problem. Try hitting reload on the page and smacking the "Join Taskforce" button before it goes grey and gets a spinny cursor. It eventually worked.
Ok I finally got it. Thanks for the info

Is there any info on the development of this game? This game had to have gone through some dev hell judging from the janky mechanics, weird level up system, and general... lack of polish.
It's also surreal to me that it's been out just over a year, and has already slowed to a crawl.
They just released update 4 on March 13 with some new Ghost War classes and stuff

There's also a roadmap. There's updates 5 and 6 coming at least

The GR website makes me glad that Division didn't bother with a mobile app/API. If Division 2 has one I hope it's like at least functional. Being useful (unlike the GR app) would be a plus

Managed to take down Predator solo and get the mask after watching this video and switching to Llamativo (unique LMG) and the SR25 sniper. After I did that it took me only 2 tries at level 20 with only some squad/physical upgrades. Just spawn some rebel guns for hire and diversion to draw some fire and stick to that area in the video and you'll be good.

I thought that was only going to be a temporary mission, did they make it permanent?

Other than the website nonsense and some weirdness with AI teammates getting downed in water, I've had pretty good luck on PS4. I'm actually really impressed with how good it looks and runs.

I've actually been goofing around in Destiny 2 but I'm about done with that so I think I'll be back to GR soon if not today

How old is Sam now? Like, 60?
He was young(er) again in Blacklist

If there's a new Splinter Cell coming, they just need to make Sam the handler of a new younger agent, so he can yell at the player the whole game

What I remember about Blacklist is that I USED to like playing no-kill stealth games. Then I decided to unlock the Super Awesome Silent Stealth Suit (not actual name) in SC Blacklist, which involved doing a bunch of missions where you couldn't be detected or knock anyone out and if you were discovered at all you would insta-fail and have to start over. It was super annoying and when I got the Super Stealth Suit I NEVER wanted to do a no kill run in any game ever again. I ran around slitting throats in complete silence and it was 1000x more fun. So while I actually liked the game a lot it ruined me for a certain kind of gameplay forever.

Question: Does the predator activity give any rewards? Since the Splinter Cell mission rewards are time limited i'm wondering if the Predator stuff is
You still get the Predator mask (minus dreads, the one w/dreads is for real money), which gives you Predator style infrared vision

I did Predator solo in 10 minutes on 2nd try after watching this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qhpo1KjrYD4

tl;dr: LMG and Sniper (I used Llamativo and SR25), hide in those rocks pointed out in the video, call for rebel reinforcements AND rebel diversion. Try to get shots in on the Predator when it's running around invisible, Night vision is good for that. It's all about dodging his cannon blasts. Try to keep one of your AI buddies alive.

Here's my video just for proof

I'm not going to argue the Predator mission was good. Especially when the best method is to cheese it behind rocks. It definitely feels like something hacked together. And it sounded like you had netcode issues on top of all that.

I haven't played this for a while but these updates look good. New difficulty with permadeath, realistic reloads, friendly fire. Ability to disable AI teammates in any mode. More ways to earn credits/loot crates for free. Bunch of PVP updates too.

For Predator call in rebels & reinforcements, use an LMG and sniper so you don't have to use the ammo box. use a bunch of rocks to hide behind. I made a video you can skip through
