Ghost Recon: Breakpoint had everything going for it on launch day. It had the legacy of the massively successful Wildlands game to build on top of, the new map of Aurora looked stupidly massive and the core concept of a soldier stuck behind enemy lines while being hunted by rebels who could give him a run for his money made …
Ghost Recon Breakpoint is an expensive game, one that requires both time and effort to dig into. So how about playing the game for gratis this weekend? Ubisoft has announced that Ghost Recon Point Break will be available for the low low price of nothing this weekend. Nothing. Nothing George!
Ubisoft have revealed that Year Two of Ghost Recon Breakpoint will kick off with the return of Splinter Cell’s favourite operative, Sam Fisher. He’ll be joining the soldiers on the ground, to fight back against Not-The-Punisher, his mobs of cannon fodder goons and possibly the Terminator. What a time to be alive.

If I were to be generous, I’d say that Ghost Recon Breakpoint is not a very good game. Thankfully, Ubisoft has realised that it’s not a great game and has pledged to fix it up.
Let it never be said that Ghost Recon: Breakpoint is a game without ideas. Great ideas, terrible ideas, and even some great ideas implemented terribly, I’ve seen them all thus far in the 20 or so hours I’ve spent with this latest entry in Ubisoft’s tactical military shooter franchise. Then there are ideas borrowed from other games only half of which seem to actually belong here.
The new beta will be showcasing content that wasn’t available in the closed beta and offer plays another even more to do on Auroa. Following on from the closed beta of Ghost Recon: Breakpoint a couple weeks ago, Ubisoft is opening up the doors of the testing lab to the public domain and offering anyone who missed the last beta …
