Ghost Recon Wildlands inspires wacky co-op romps

Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands debuts on March 7 on the console and the PC. It’s a vast, open world where your stealth soldiers take on a Bolivian drug cartel. And one of its unique features is four-player co-op, where you can drop in or drop out at any time. You can seamlessly switch from single player to four-person co-op at any time and still stay in the same open world session.

I tried it out at a preview session with fellow journalists at Ubisoft in San Francisco. We had a talkative quartet, and we tried out a few missions in a helicopter. With four humans, it was much easier to take out the key targets in a compound.
