Ghost Recon: Future Warfighter (wtf?)

Well there is a debut trailer around the net.  Seems like the game takes place on the Afghanistan/Pakistan border.  Possibly preventing a nuke from getting into terrorists hands sounds like a good setup since it is a plausible situation in the real world.

However, if you watch more of the trailer, you'll see the ghosts.  Literally.  They look like ghosts.  Meaning they have invisibility cloak ghillie suits on.  That made me say 'wtf?'... 

Then I thought it might be cool since this might mean more "ghosting" and more "recon".  Then I remembered it's being developed by Ubisoft.  Then my heart had an irregular beat.  Then I died.  Then I came back to life to remind you that Ubisoft is pulling it's shit again with the catering to the casual. 

Actually, I haven't technically came back to life.  I'm a ghost.  I gotta tell ya.  It's pretty cool being a ghost.  I can steal all the Cheezits that I could ever want from my neighbors and you should see all the shit I've done to Agent.  He may be AFK but he's really UTB (under the bed).  For some reason he has pickle flavored Cheezits, WTF is that?!

Terrorists getting a nuke plausible? Unlikely. Although the security of countries like Pakistan is probably not up to par with Western nuke-capable countries.

Well I meant plausible in the videogame world.  It wouldn't be easy for a bunch of taliban to walk into a Pakistani base and pick one up let alone use it.  Especially when you consider that the U.S. military would be on the spot in 5 minutes should there be danger of that.  lol  The video game world makes it just easy enough for them to do so. 

If the Taliban have inside sources who are in the Pakistani military then Future Soldier could focus on this unlikely (though possible) situation.

Besides Ghost Recon has always been about the multiplayer.  It better be up to snuff.

The US military and CIA already control Pakistani nukes.

Are they in control of them in the video game world?  And now that I think about it, keeping terrorists from getting nukes isn't a very original or interesting idea.  That's in like every single game now, right?  However I would like to play a shooter in the mountains of Afghanistan and Pakistan.  It's amazing that the setting has barely been touched.

No one has anything to say about the invisibility cloaks?
