Are you looking for a good 3rd person shooter
game? Do you want the fun of being
randomly matched with other players from all over the planet to form two squads
and tactically win? Games like these are now very common, but Tom Clancy serves
action in a silver platter.
Tom Clancy’s: Ghost Recon: Phantoms is a great game that
would pump up your adrenaline and burst you brain cells with all the possible
tactics that would lead to your group’s victory. The objective o f each match
is simple; capture more points or all the points that the opposing side has and
defend it, all before the timer runs out. You get to choose from 3 character classes
to choose from, each with a arsenal of gadgets and weapons to use; namely:
support, assault and recon.
The assault is the tank of the group; it has high health and
armor and can take up a beating. It can
use a thermal suppressor gear or a shield similar to a tank’s hide to push out the
enemies out of the nests and cry out to their mothers for help. The thermal
suppressor radiates heat to enemies, rendering them useless for a limited
length of time. The shield on the other hand plows enemies on its path and
pushes them out of the way to give other teammates the chance to raid the point
and capture it.

The recon is a special type of character; it has low health
but has high critical rates, making it an effective killer. The recon can use
the scan or cloak as their gadgets each of which has a different use. The scan
is a gear for a team playing recon. It reveals the location of all the enemies
within the gadget’s reach; enabling all of you to know what position to raid
and how to raid the said posts. The cloak gives you the ability to be invisible
for a very limited amount of time giving the recon the chance to kill everybody
inside a certain area and give your team the tactical advantage.
The support (my personal favorite) is a team player; it’s a well-rounded
character and can be grouped with other players, either assault or recon to
give your push more power. The support can use the APS or the blackout; which for
me are two essential gears for pushing to points. The APS is a projected shield
than can be charged and deployed to deflect projectiles, such as bullets of all
known calibers, excluding grenades and explosions. The APS is also an AoE
gadget, so it can cover you and your teammates for a tactical push. The support
can also use blackout; this gadget causes all electronic devices, including
corsairs and gadgets of the opposing team to crash for a short while; this
makes them vulnerable and easier to get rid of when you need to recapture a
post.
The game is action packed, but the key to winning this game
is tactical force, not barbaric foolishness. You and your team must act as one
to reach the goal. But some are too slow to comprehend the meaning of tactical
conquest, this leads to the demise of your own team.

But this game still has a flaw. I've played it for a month
now and I have noticed that if I play more than one game a day I get disconnected
in mid match! It might not be a big deal, but as a gamer with the high needs
for speed to cope up with the players who rely on me for support. I know that
it’s not my internet connection because I play other games as well but never
experience any problem in connectivity with them whatsoever. I have been
searching the internet for other users experiencing the same problem and they
have proven my theory to be a fact.
Aside from the fact that it disconnects you in mid mid-match,
the game is still really good. As a final judgment, this gamer’s eye rates this
game 8 out of 10. That’s all for not geeks! GEEKOUT!
