This product is like new. At NexWave Games, like new means:
Additionally, all discs at NexWave Games are carefully inspected and assessed for quality. When discs arrive, we do not accept any that are so badly damaged that they are unlikely to work. We only accept discs with light scratches at most. Discs with scratches are then treated in our professional disc repair machine. By warming the disc and polishing it with soft brushes, these machines can remove a very thin layer from the disc. This removes the layer containing surface scratches and improves the disc’s readability. This ensures the disc works properly, even on consoles with ageing lasers that have difficulty reading games! Great news for the player.
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Future Soldier for PlayStation 3
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Future Soldier for PlayStation 3 is a tactical third-person shooter in which a small Ghost unit conducts operations in different countries. You investigate a military threat involving arms smuggling and advanced equipment. As you move from cover to cover, you gather information about enemy positions. The camera behind your soldier helps you look around a corner and decide where your squad can advance without immediately becoming caught in an open firefight.
You use tools including sensors and optical camouflage to prepare an attack. Camouflage is not a licence to run around unseen: movement and distance still matter. Marking targets lets you coordinate your shot with those of your teammates. This enables you to remove several threats before other enemies react. If an operation does turn into open combat, you must quickly choose new cover and use the resources available for that mission.
With Gunsmith you customise weapons and test settings on a firing range. This lets you adapt your equipment to the distance and approach you expect. You play the offline solo campaign with computer-controlled teammates. The Signature Edition offered contains the original PS3 game. Codes were originally supplied for bonus content. In a second-hand copy these codes may already be used or expired, so expect the base game without guaranteed downloadable extras.
Region and language
Our PlayStation 3 games are European editions and come with a Dutch or English box, unless stated otherwise. By default, you receive the version for the European market. We note it in the product details if the region is different or the box is in another language. In almost all cases, the game is playable at least in English, and often in the other five common European languages too.
Manual
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Future Soldier for PlayStation 3 includes the manual unless the product title states otherwise. If the booklet is missing, the title says “No Manual”. This lets you see before ordering whether the game comes with a manual.
The manuals included with our games usually contain at least English and often around six European languages. The exact languages vary by edition, so Dutch is not always included. The booklet explains the controls and the main rules. You can use it to check how to control the game, which actions are available and how its different features work.
The history of Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Future Soldier
Ubisoft released Ghost Recon Future Soldier for PlayStation 3 in 2012. Development was led by Ubisoft Paris, with contributions from other Ubisoft teams. After Advanced Warfighter, this instalment focused on a small unit trying to establish an information advantage with advanced equipment. The technological step became visible in camouflage, reconnaissance and coordinated target elimination. The campaign connected those tools with operations that were not limited to a single border region.
Gunsmith also received considerable attention in the original presentation. Customising weapons went beyond simply choosing a different appearance: parts and settings helped adapt your equipment to an approach. The ability to test something on the firing range made the system part of preparation. Together with marking opponents, this shifted attention towards decisions you could make before the first shot was fired. Open combat remained, but preparation gained tools of its own.
The Signature Edition appeared around the original release with extras such as weapons, appearance options and an additional multiplayer map. Those original offers do not mean a used copy provides new downloads today. Later expansions, including Raven Strike, are also separate content and do not automatically come with the base disc. Within the Ghost Recon series, Future Soldier shows a different approach from Advanced Warfighter or the later open-world games: a set campaign in which a compact squad and focused technological tools shape each operation.
Similar games for PlayStation 3
Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 lets you lead Scott Mitchell and his squad with information through Cross-Com on PlayStation 3. Both games combine shooting with an overview and teamwork. Future Soldier places greater emphasis on optical camouflage, sensors and a simultaneous attack on marked targets. Advanced Warfighter 2 brings positioning your squad and available support more clearly to the fore.
Rainbow Six Vegas also uses information gathering as preparation on PlayStation 3, especially through a camera under doors. Its attacks often revolve around a coordinated entry into a building. In Future Soldier you look from behind your soldier and use different tools to scout positions. The shared idea is to begin carefully; distance, locations and available technology change how you carry that out.
Rainbow Six Vegas 2 offers direct orders to two teammates on PlayStation 3, combining them with a door camera and cover. Future Soldier connects your squad more explicitly with sensors and the simultaneous elimination of targets. Both let a careless crossing quickly go wrong. Vegas 2, however, stays closer to brief assaults, while Future Soldier more often develops the entire approach to a military location.
Army of Two: The 40th Day also uses cover, a camera behind the soldier and customisable weapons on PlayStation 3. Its cooperation rests on two mercenaries dividing enemy attention. Future Soldier features a small military unit with sensors and a targeted joint attack. Army of Two makes visible distraction more important; Ghost Recon aims to understand the enemy before the fight breaks out.
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare also offers contemporary special operations on PlayStation 3, but you look from a first-person perspective and more often follow tightly directed events. Future Soldier gives you more tools to prepare an attack yourself. You study positions, allocate targets and adjust a weapon. The similarity is military action; the main difference lies in how preparation influences the battle.
