Ghost Recon: Future Solider PC launches with serious bugs
by Andrew Yoon, Jun 27, 2012 4:00pm PDTDespite launching well after its console counterparts, the PC version of Ghost Recon: Future Soldier has met criticism from players over a myriad of serious issues. The most critical issue appears to affect control input. "WASD and mouse in game do absolutely nothing," one fan noted. "I don't have any game pads hooked up and I'm not the only one with this issue."
The list of complaints on Ubisoft's forums is quite lengthy. There are some complaints about resolution, with the game locked to 720p, regardless of resolution selected. Others cannot launch the game due to a resolution conflict. In-game menus display Xbox buttons, even without a controller plugged in. Changing button maps won't save, according to another user.
According to Gamespot, "the team is working agressively to correct any issues as soon as possible," however one has to wonder why these serious issues were not addressed during the month-long delay the PC version faced. "As we all know UBI loves to blame PC game delays on piracy. Clearly it's not a piracy issue, it's an incompetence issue. This game is NOT finished," one user lamented.

My review so far is basically this:
The good: 4 player coop in it is fairly awesome so far (about 4 missions in) and the guerilla mode looks like a great game mode with relatively a lot of content compared to other games' horde modes.
The bad: but there are a ton of little bugs I'm surprised made it past even rudimentary testing. Also, the pvp is incredibly inferior to Ghost Recon Online's closed beta, mainly because the sprint mechanic is terribly ported to the PC from analog controls.
Also, host migration is fine if it is rare in most games. Like I didn't mind it in Space Marine. But in this, the way they handle host migration is pretty idiotic. It puts everyone back in spawn and resets the current objective. The same complaint was leveled at the console versions, so maybe, just maybe they will patch the game quickly but I'm not holding my breath. At least the coop is great.
If you want to play the pvp game I was hoping Future Soldier would be, get a key for the Ghost Recon Online closed beta, or wait for it to go open beta in a month or two.
