I en intervju med Official Xbox Magazine säger Matt Benson på Ubisoft att Ghost Recon: Future Soldier inte kommer att bli någon direkt konkurrent till Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 och Battlefield 3. Istället siktar man på att erbjuda sedvanligt Ghost Recon-spelande med ett lite långsammare tempo.
"We're not competing directly with Call of Duty and Battlefield, we're not. Let's let those guys duke it out this side of Christmas. For me, post-Christmas, Future Soldier is the kind of game that changes the tempo slightly. It's not a twitch shooter.", säger Benson, som fortsätter med att förklara skilnaderna mellan spelen.
"That's probably why the various 11 and 12 year olds who play Call of Duty are so good at it, because they have lightning-fast reflexes an old git like me doesn't have. Whereas Future Soldier is all about teamwork, and building innovations on the battlefield, like the suppression system.", menar han.
Angående kritiken om att Ubisoft med flit dummat ner Ghost Recon för att göra så alla ska kunna spela säger Benson: "I hate that word. I hate that word. It's not about 'accessibility', it's about being intuitive, making a game intuitive and fun to play."
Trots det inser Benson att alla ändå inte kommer bli riktigt nöjda, och han avslutar: "There's always going to be that hardcore player, there's always going to be super-hardcore players and you're never going to keep them happy. They're just going to want the first Ghost Recon on first-gen Xbox, and they're going to want to be lying on the ground, camoed up, waiting 10 minutes for a guard to walk all the way back round and then pop him."
