Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Phantoms

Ghost Recon Phantoms was a third-person cover-based multiplayer tactical shooter with MOBA elements; player could choose between three classes: Recon, Support and Assault. Each class had unique abilities (called Devices in-game), with player being able to equip one of two active abilities and one of two passive ones; player could also choose between two primary weapon classes for each of the operator classes. Recon could choose between a cloaking device (similar to thermo-optical camouflage as seen in Ghost in the Shell or Predator franchises) that allowed for temporary invisibility (still detectable via small visual distortions like in the aforementioned movie franchises) as well as seeing enemy operators' laser beams from laser designators if those were equipped; or a scanning device that emitted a conical impulse that was able to detect enemies behind walls or other sorts of covers, as well as detecting cloaked enemy Recons, within the device's effective range; passive devices for this class consisted of a gunshot detector capable of picking up a non-suppressed weapons fire at a certain distance and marking shooter with a frame corresponding to shooter's silhouette (in height and position) on Recon's HUD, as well as his teammates within the effective range of the device; or motion detector, likewise marking running enemies with a frame for Recon and his nearby allies. Aside from a device's primary function, it also granted an operator assistance points should his teammates make use of the device whether by killing an affected enemy, or capture the point. Support class could choose between either an EMP device that instantly drained batteries of enemies that were in device's effective range when the device was activated (batteries powered the use of active devices), or a dome-shaped force field around the Support, that could also fit around three other players within its reach for a coordinated push to capture an objective, or just get past a heavily defended choke point. Support's passive abilities either granted teammates faster recharge for their devices batteries, or ammo regen. Finally, Assaults had at their disposal bulletproof shield for a quick assault maneuver (the ability substantially raised Assault's normal speed) that knocked down any enemies in Assault's path and incapacitated them for a short time, allowing Assault's teammates to safely dispose of affected enemy combatants (rushing Assault was impervious to any projectile damage coming from his front, but could still be harmed by attacks from sides and behind); or a microwave heat generator, suppressing any enemy within Assault's direct vicinity, making them unable to aim, shoot, and make quick escape (save for escaping via vaulting over a nearby low cover), while also dealing constant damage-over-time, that was even capable of killing an unlucky enemy who couldn't run away, should an Assault focus his attention on an enemy cut off from escape routs, provided that there was enough time left for the device to run before having to be recharged, and/or the enemy's health was low enough, though it could still kill players with full health, depending on the inserts in a given opponent's body armor, and additional upgrades in Assault's device. Passive devices for that class either provided teammates with additional armor, or sped up health regeneration. Due to heavy focus on teamplay, each of these classes and their abilities synergized with one another, i.e. after Recon detected enemy positions, an Assault could use that data to initiate a shield rush, while the opposing team's Support, using the same kind of information from his Recons' devices, could wind utilize his EMP device to stop the push dead in its tracks, or initiate a counter-push under the cover of Support's bulletproof force field, and so on.[6][7]

There were four game types: Private Match, Team Death match, Clan Match and Team Capture; the latter two could be played in one of following three game modes: Conquest, Onslaught, and Holdout.

Ghost Recon Phantoms was previously known as Ghost Recon Online during the beta phase.[8]

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Phantoms received an aggregate score of 70 at Metacritic indicating "mixed or average reviews".[14] IGN also gave mixed positive reviews with a score of 7.5 out of 10. Lief Johnson from IGN said "It may seem a little strange to see Ubisoft releasing a free-to-play installment of the long-running Ghost Recon series so soon after May’s release of Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, but here it is" as of being surprised to see a free-to-play game by Ubisoft. There were more than a thousand U.S. dollars worth of DLC, making this game the most expensive one released by Ubisoft.[16]
