The recent beta phases for Ghost Recon Wildlands gave players a taste of what it'll take to fight the Santa Blanca drug cartel in the Bolivian wilderness, and as it turned out, a lot of you were eager to squad up and hit the ground. More than 6.8 million of you, to be precise, breaking Ubisoft's previous beta records – but that's not the only impressive statistic coming out of the closed and open betas. More than two billion minutes were played, and more than 60 percent of all players played in co-op (Ghost Recon Wildland supports both solo and cooperative play for a team of up to four Ghosts).

The thirst

 

[IvorB]

Good. I'm happy to have this new era of demos.

 

[tearsintherain]

60% doing co-op is a pretty amazing stat

 

[valkillmore]

I absolutely love these 'beta results' images. Didn't play the beta, I probably should have as this game looks pretty cool.

60% doing co-op is a pretty amazing stat

I mean that's really the only way to play that game. I had a terrible time playing solo, but had a decent amount of fun playing co-op.

 

[Nirolak]

For Honor did 6 million, and The Division did 6.4 million, for previous reference.

 

[Tecnniqe]

60% doing co-op is a pretty amazing stat

60% enjoyed the game

 

[BronsonLee]

Looks like over 6 million people can, in fact, fight the friction

 

[farisr]

Well I suppose the more popular it is, the higher I can sell it off for, so good news for me.

60% doing co-op is a pretty amazing stat

That means 40% were essentially playing a different game. There are a lot of issues with Wildlands as of the closed and open betas. But playing this game solo is missing so much of the appeal. This game was clearly designed as a co op shooter first and a solo game with AI squad members second.

why did they use a period that looks like a comma in the first graphic and then use commas that look like periods in the rest

6,83 million people played while 34.295.124 hours were spent?

 

[IvorB]

I absolutely love these 'beta results' images. Didn't play the beta, I probably should have as this game looks pretty cool.

Except they are used full stops instead of commas for the numbers which is aggravating.

 

[UnluckyKate]

wonder how many wont return.

Based on gaf feedback, not many but gaf is gaf

 

[TheOctodad]

I mean I tried it, but I didn't like it that much and won't be buying it.

I appreciate a well fleshed out beta though.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

60% enjoyed the game

Yeah I played solo and didn't like it

 

[One Eyed Willy]

I played it and loved it.

Based on GAF feedback you work for Ubisoft if you like it, so Ubisoft got a lot of undercover workers here snarkyface

 

[giancarlo123x]

That's a lot of disappointed people.

 

[blakep267]

It's coming out at the right time. People thirsting for multiplayer co-op shooters have nothing else to turn to.

Looks like over 6 million people can, in fact, fight the friction

The only reason I started caring about the game was because of that E3 trailer. Slickly made.

 

[SmoothRunningGun]

60% enjoyed the game

More like 6%. Coop is a crutch to prop up a bad game.

 

[Barrel Cannon]

I'm having doubts about whether to cancel or not. I'll have no friends to play it with. i have Zelda coming. I have Wars 2 to play. I didn't give the beta a proper chance.... but its ghost recon and I love the slower paced methodical way of playing the series..... I'm so conflicted

 

[arcticice]

Game is a lot of fun in co-op. But i wouldn't recommend it to anyone going solo. Game just isnt made for that. At least that's how i felt

Luls.
Coop is a crutch in a squad based shooter.
