This was lot´s of fun Drew! Thanks for having me 😀

There's a mod for Breakpoint called Spartan on Nexus mods. It makes most guns louder both unsuppressed and suppressed, and altered how AI behave as a group. It doesn't sound like much but the reason why Breakpoint feels so easy most of the time is because the enemies don't know where you are. Having the enemies be able to track you down makes the game a lot more intense and mil-sim like.

My group found that dropping the difficulty down a bit so you didn’t die straight away but increasing the wounding to max made for the most epic and frantic firefights when you did get compromised. It lead to some very cinematic moments.

Imagine some real spec-ops guys crawling thru some enemy base and casually chatting about stuff happening in their country

Now try this with the Spartan Mod Drewski. It's a completely different game. You can also remove bullet trails, and auto-reload. This suprisingly makes the game even more challenging as now enemies can not only spot you from 300 meters; when they shoot at you, you'll have no clue where they are. All you have is the sound of bullets weezing past you and the dirt impacts to figure out their general direction. However, they could be any distance.

My friends and I did a play through like this last summer. It was a ton of fun. However, we quickly figured out that the hardest/most frustrating part wasn’t bases or behemoths or anything like that. It was roads. The amount of times we got killed traveling to our next mission or trying to secure a vehicle or even just crossing the road was wild. Also the invis guys in motherland are terrifying when you have no hud and die in 2 bullets.

Been playing with a friend this way super recently. Videos like this I see as proof that SOMEONE who worked on the game, truly did have a different vision of what ghost recon should be, as opposed to the route the game actually took.

7:37 This right here is how I know Breakpoint has _something_ in it that's good. It's a great sandbox shooter, where you can try out different tactics. I can tell it is because while you took the main road in I base jumped across the river and landed at the port, clearing my way up through the silos, leaving C4 on the vehicles the whole way. It's really one of the few locations in this game that stand out to me, namely because of how unique the geometry of the base is compared to a lot of other locations around Auroa. It probably also had something to do with how cleanly I executed that mission. It's still one of the most soulless Ghost Recon games, but the appeal of it is in the blank canvas nature of it. If they can carry this versatility over to a game that has some actual depth to the story and environments, enemies, and locations that actually have character and variety I think they have all the ingredients to make a good game. The question is, do they have the direction to do so? Also, I just had a decent idea. I noticed that when playing co-op there's obviously delay if you're trying to synchronize a shot, so what if they re-utilized the sync shot mechanic? You hold a certain button (on controller it's A, if that helps) and your characters verbally countdown (or maybe you get a HUD element?) that counts down 3, 2, 1, and that in-game countdown adjusts to the delay? I don't know. Maybe it's a little overcomplicated.

Wish I had friends with the patience to play a game like this

No no, the real way to play is to raid those high level bases for the helicopter

One of my favorite games ever, played this for hundreds of hours and even some time with my best friend like this, with all HUD turned off and hardest enemies. Some of the best times ever!

This is exactly how my friends and I played Wildlands and i miss it so much, watching this gave me so much nostalgia. Thank you both for an awesome video @OperatorDrewski & @CusterPlays

I just discovered something... New Ghost Recon are funnier with people rather than alone... New objective: Find someone to play that game as good as you guys, nice video.

I remember either breakpoint or wildlands had a really cool pvp map which was a night storm in a jungle. Everyone wearing ghillies and trying to spot each other in the thunder flashes was great gameplay.

I would watch hours of these official military guys play Wildlands and it was awesome listening to them communicate and do missions

This is absolutely phenomenal! The fight scenes, the little odes to the OG animation, all of it!!! So well done 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

So happy to see you team up with Custer. Custers GR gameplay is fantastic. Breakpoint really did have the potential to be brilliant but they fell short. Playing it like this however still has that little sparkle of magic that nothing else can quite touch. Great video guys

This is how I play with my dad when we do shooters together. Ghost Recon and Sniper Elite have been our favorites. He does pretty good for an old timer!

It's so depressing knowing that Ubisoft has full control over Tom Clancy stuff. I wish it were owned by a developer/publisher who took it more seriously.

Custer is an underrated youtuber, glad to see yall playing together, he deserves more subs

1:51 “tearing your pants open by the third slide” 😂😂😂😂😂😂

When I cleared this base I found that it was extremely easyer to charge from the back to the front working your way up to base. Keep it up!!

Who knew I would be re-learning a subject that I had learned in college, that was the basis of that the state can take any property they want with proper authorization from the government. For natural gas pipelines, or other services. In a ghost recon video.

hunted for what at 2 am😂

The crossover I never knew I needed

so nice to see you both taking out Sentinel military bases in GR Breakpoint ) You and Custer are probably the stealthiest infiltration team in shooter games ))

This game is so underrated. It's a must play at least once and has multiple scenarios so many ways to play.

I miss being able to play this game. Loved doing it with the more realistic settings and the one-life mode, where if I died, had to make a new character.

15:32 After playing for so long, I didn't think the enemies would look at you. Nice detail.

Man ive started playing this game after getting my first window machine in years & i started directly on extreme & it's insane. Love this thing. Extreme without teammates is even more insane & sometimes even impossible. Try the last mission in operation amber sky the plane flying mission & it's almost impossible to finish without dying on extreme.

Watching your videos on Breakpoint and Wildlands always gets me so excited to play! Playing with no hud on harder difficulty is definitely the way to go, although my biggest gripe that really takes the realism out of it is the ammo cap for each weapon. Like yeah, the make it difficult by the scarcity of ammo you get from dead players, but why do I have 350 rounds for my pistol? I wish there was a way to set it to a realistic amount that you would actually be carrying on you.

"Never mind about the big entrance on the right side, this is cooler." 😂😂😂

Even though this videos one year old I just want to say how great this is. it's really calming to see you guys having fun and sneaking

Seeing people play like this makes it actually look pretty fun. Unfortunately the only friend I have to play games like this is very competitive and races me for kills. Either he rushes and gets us caught trying to get as many kills as he can or I rush because I want to actually do something and play the game instead of wondering around while he kills everyone. Had the same issue in sniper elite co-op. I've tried to play this game several times but I always just get annoyed at the terrible AI and how they magically know where you are even if you've moved or didn't do anything to actually give away your position. Pretending to "search" while just going straight for you. Once had several drones circle me like they were playing hide and seek with a child and had to act like they didn't know exactly where I was to keep it fun. Or in co-op my friend sniping someone and putting the enemy in caution causing half of them to scale the mountain he was on several hundred meters away while the other half "searched" for me on the other side of the base despite me having done nothing to attract attention. Like 7 guys all slowly making their way right towards me pretending to search, changing direction whenever I moved, even backtracking still towards me if I manage to get past them, converging on my location and not leaving until they "find" me.

Good content as always! I used to insta-watch your videos, but now, when I see an upload, I wait until I can get comfy and pay full attention. It's like a reward at the end of the day for me.

I love that the "That's what she said" joke made the cut. GG dudes. Looked like a blast.

imminent domain is what cause the killdozer

I have no idea exactly when they started doing this, but at some point ubisoft games started giving really great hud options allowing you to do this and it feels so great in every single game that has it. I don't think I would've enjoyed for example Far Cry 6 AT ALL if I was forced to play with a full hud that's just trying to overstimulate me with 2 million markers trying to pull me in different directions lol.

Personally I feel Breakpoint (and Wildlands) feels much more nicer and realistic, as well as challenging if you don't use the drone to do all your scout & spotting. Just using the Binoculars is already such a different feeling and needs you to do proper recon work, before going in.

“Disabling every single piece of HUD possible”. - Doesn’t turn off all the HUD

I’m about to try this out. Been playing Breakpoint on and off and it’s fun at times but sometimes I feel like the screen is so cluttered with UI and info it just makes it hard to become engrossed in the game. And it makes it so much easier. I think I’ll max the difficulty and turn off pretty much everything.

I JUST did the conquest mission here where you have to destroy 8 vehicles. If spotted, they take off and leave. Was fun place.

I just play Breakpoint to pretend it's Splinter Cell and cry.

They should facilitate modding games like these, the community would make a game like this into a gem (I'm talking about deep and heavy modding)

So other then using cloak,this is one of the few actual tactical stealth plays I seen of breakpoint. Which is the way I enjoy it best.

Happy to see spawn pop-in is not just my issue. I can’t count how many times I’ve died because the game decided a trio of Wolves needed to be spawned 10 feet in front of me during a behemoth fight. Ugh

yooo, custer is actually soooo good. his stalker stuff is awsome. great to see you playing together.

This is by far the most interesting gameplay I've watched this year

“Some say shoot to maim i say unload the clip and let the lord decide” 1:14

I could definitely go for more of this style of gameplay from whatever games will allow for it! You reminded me of watching FrankieOnPC

Ghost recon advanced warfighter was the most difficult for me... used to play coop with some friends, such a good time!

Love to hear Drewski's thoughts on city planning😐

Breakpoint with the immersion setting turned all the way up is honestly one of the best shooter games in recent memory, I don't even think that's debatable. The game had a rough launch and gets a lot of negative attention though.

this game would be realistic if the AI could see past 50ft in broad day light and clear weather.. that always bothered me about games like this. they dumb down the AI so much.. those enemy snipers should see you from like 500m. Make sniping feel more like sniping.

11:36 that knife work 🤌

the fact you killed the driver of the technical and that it ran custer over, made me LOL so loud!

My buddy and I did this for the conquer game mode where the Russians invade and you gotta secure each region. Had the highest difficulty on along with only having 1 primary. Shit was hard as fuck given the lack of everything. Had to really plan out attacks on heavily guarded locations and be careful when you got into contact

I personally feel like turning off hud and extreme difficulty is only fun in multiplayer cause you know you have a real backup. In single player mode it is just nightmare and time consuming

23:25 -- Ha! That made me think of a character like the ones in Step Brothers doing a ninja roll across the whole yard, then popping up ready for action.

Drewski talking about hunting like I talk about my fishing... "first light dynamite, throw in river, fishing is easy" 🤣

I always love hearing drewski talking about hunting

If you guys both haven't tried scum you should. You guys would make a great duo and it would be really good content I think. Could make adventure videos. It's almost like dayz and tarkov mixed together but you can build a base and raid people. Great game if you have time

i used to play with some friends this but it was impossible man, they are coming from COD gameplay style/typical FPS which usually are games oriented to the individual and not the team, I hope i get a nice friend to play like yours :)

This may be my favourite video on youtube. The serious tactical gameplay with you teamate and the funny parts is amazing, please keep making videos on this game 🙏😁

Man this game is stunning. Gameplay was fantastic also, I really enjoyed my time with it

Really enjoyed this, would love to see some more co-op stealth play with Custer.

*White tail deer runs by* “The elk just hit me in the face” 🙃

The only part of the HUD you should have on is the crosshair, but even then it's not mandatory as you can equip your weapons with a laser sight

This convo is pretty wholesome. I wanna hear more about these hog hunts.

You're probably the only person than can even partially convince me to try a newer Ubi game, though I still see a lot that I don't like. Fortunately it looks like there is a legit modding scene for this game, so I might give it a go on sale

2:00 When I was in the Army I had to play the enemy for an exercise. The training platoon had to take a hill seven of us were holding. I cut up some brush and stuck it in my helmet band and secured more around my webbing as a makeshift leaf suit. Finally, I draped a camo net towel over my face like a veil--so there was no facial outline (and it kept the mosquitos out). I squatted just in front of a bush with the same leaves and waited for the dawn assault. The training platoon came up right where I was squatting and ran right past me, one even brushing my shoulder. Then one guy stopped and stared right at me! I thought that was it, he'd seen me. But after a good five seconds he carried on his way. The back rage that happened after that was epic. Done well, even a makeshift leaf "suit" really works!

This is how I play. I NEVER just run into something and go Rambo. I love the stealth aspect of the game; I just wish the camo actually worked. If you're wearing bright orange, they enemy should be able to see you vs. wearing a ghillie suit.

Great co-op with Custer! How anyone can say this game is bad, is beyond me. It’s one of the most addicting games ever, esp how Ubi worked so hard to turn the game around.

The idea that you have to modify, strip or neuter many, if not most of the intentional gameplay features put into the game to make it remotely close to challenging and fun says everything you need to know about this game.

That was so funny at the end where you both just completely shit the bed after doing so well lol.

Played it this way since release, I hate the way modern games have copy pasted guns that look the same but somehow do different damage and enemies take 10000 shots to be killed. It feel nice to be able to just sweep a building like an Umbrella soldier double tapping hostiles.

I just replayed FarCry 5 with no hud and hard difficulty and it made it a much better game. Went from a very average and boring game to one of the best games I have ever played. Made me realize that so much that is wrong with gaming now is the dumbing down of games to the point that you can beat them without actually paying attention. With the hud off and hard difficulty, every encounter was engaging and challenging in a new and dynamic way because I couldn’t simply see where are the enemies were at all times and I had to actually think before I acted and left cover.

I think this game would be greatly improved if it had a 1st person mode.

Breakpoint is just "Tactical Simulator" and I love it.

0:45 I felt that on a spiritual level.

wow, guys you give me goosebumbs. Such a great chemistry you got. Keep it up. GL

I always duo this game with a friend, i cover him with a sniper while he goes in. We always do 0 hud and in wildlands its specially hard to recognize and keep track with your teammate and its one of the thinks i like the most about this game, but it also makes me hate what it is instead of what could've been,

11:37 was CLEAN and a lil nasty I tell ya

The blowtorch was such a cool edition and we all needed it in wildlands but when they finally bring it into a game, it’s pointless because all of the bases have large open entrances lol

Man just imagine Breakpoint but in first person. I love the game as it is but it would make it even better to have such an option.

0:59 spray and pray

THIS IS SO WHOLESOME

well played you 2 good team work like pro please do some more i never rush in my game i pick them one by one

great vid! hope to see more like this, where you play "casual" games with difficulty cranked up to realistic

11:36 looks completely outstanding :D Real deal here

Love your content just based off of this video lmao. Great personalities guys, you got yourself a sub.

I regularly go on a trail that goes near a quarry and every time I go through it straight up sounds like a firefight. What's worse is there's an appartment complex just a quarter mile down the road, so they just have to live with it. The trail also goes under I-20, which is also loud.

The whitetail deer making elk noises lol

I wish the range stat in Breakpoint wasn't a bar but actual numbers so you had some idea where you need to account for bullet drop. It also doesn't help that all weapons, minus shotguns and handguns are ranged for about 100m regardless which is really goofy having to adjust for bullet drop at 200m with a .50, or a .338 in Breakpoint's case.

2:50 That's a deer, lmao

Great collab, and the ending was hilarious too

“We are the best music!” - DJ Khaled Now you two dopes, “We are de best at dis Ubisoft game evurr”. It’s hard to make a distinction on which quote falls flatter on it’s face. I don’t make music, but I have played this game nearly a decade ago.

I really wanna see a Full Squad of these 2 alongside Deef- The amount of teamwork and tacticalness would be so cool-

Wow. Custerplays sounds a lot like Keralis. Total throwback to my old taste in KZfaq videos. Gonna have to check both guys out now.

Drew's character ghillie suit gives me Bad Company 2 vibes :D
