TACTICAL SHOOTER
Ghost Recon Online is a tactical 3rd person squad based shooter that allows you to engage in fierce and visceral 16 player online firefights. Far from the "run and gun" style of shooter games, the "deathmatch" game mode is eschewed in favor of objective-based matches where the player with the quicker trigger finger isn’t necessarily the winner. In Ghost Recon Online, team play is essential—your chances of survival are maximized if you coordinate with your allies! With a fully realized cover system, Ghost Recon Online gives you the power to gain advantageous position over your enemies and utilize real world squad tactics to achieve victory.
UPGRADEABLE EQUIPMENT
Ghost Recon Online features authentic contemporary and advanced military ordnance and technology. Weapons can be upgraded with attachments such as silencers, laser sights and scopes, and armor can be upgraded with special inserts. These modifications impact various statistics and make you more powerful. All attachments and inserts can be exchanged at any time, providing a multitude of ordnance customization options.

CLASS BASED
In Ghost Recon Online you can play as 3 different classes of soldier – Assault, Specialist or Recon. Each of these classes can deploy unique offensive and squad support capabilities which can be used to gain the upper hand against your enemies during a match. Each class is also specialized in the use of certain types of weapons. The combination of unique devices and weaponry give each class its own strengths and weaknesses on the field of battle. As a player you are not limited to playing a single class —you will be able to level and equip a soldier in each class completely independently and in parallel if you desire!

All classes, game modes, abilities, and maps will be available to everyone for free.
