Most reviews agreed that the co-op gameplay was amazing, but when reviews bothered to mention the writing, they savaged it. I made friends who I'm still close with today.

Joining Sam, a handful of other writers, and the rest of the narrative team, we worked our butts off to deliver a world-class narrative for a AAA video game. I wrote many of the lines in Ghost Recon: Wildlands, and working with the game's narrative director, Sam Strachman, I had a ball. This issue was resolved before release, but for the 6.8 million people who played the beta, it was too late Ghost Recon players now think of 'Shitballs!' as Nomad's catchphrase. Basically, he said 'Shitballs!' for any and every reason. It was one of Nomad's barks, but during the beta he said 'Shitballs!' when he missed a shot, when he got into a jeep, when he threw a grenade, when he received help from his teammates, or even when he just turned a corner. You play as Nomad, an American special operations soldier fighting a fictional drug cartel in a fictional version of Bolivia.ĭuring the open beta for Wildlands there was a glitch which caused Nomad to say 'Shitballs!' more often than the devs had intended. Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands is an open-world shooter released by Ubisoft in 2017.
