A free-to-play cover-based 3rd person shooter spin-off to ''VideoGame/GhostReconFutureSoldier'' with a focus on teamwork.

Players have 3 classes to choose from. Each of them has a choice of 2 class-specific equipment. Players can change classes between matches, but not inside the match itself. :

* '''Assaults''' are your bread and butter rifleman. They can deploy the ''HEAT'' system (renamed the ''ADS'' in ''Phantoms'') to microwave enemies out of their cover or ''Blitz'' headfirst into the fray with a shield. Wields an assault rifle or a shotgun. Has the most armor of all classes.
* '''Specialists''' ('''Supports''' in ''Phantoms'') are geared to support their team. They can ''Blackout'' enemy equipment and disorient them for a short period, or they can fire up their ''AEGIS'' (renamed the ''APS'' in ''Phantoms'') bullet-stopping energy bubble to cover teammates. Wields either an [[MoreDakka LMG]] or a shotgun. Balanced speed and armor.
* '''Recons''' can choose between the all-seeing ''Oracle'' or the good old ''Cloak'' system. Wields either a sniper rifle or an SMG. Has the highest speed of all three.

In March 2014, Ubisoft announced a total overhaul of the game into ''Ghost Recon: Phantoms'', featuring a more in-depth backstory to the game, improved graphics, enhancements to game mechanics and many other features. It was released on UsefulNotes/{{Steam}} on April 11 2014.

** The game's Leftover files and promotional art suggest that an [[DummiedOut underslung grenade launcher was to be added in at some point]].

** GunAccessories: You can change the muzzle, magazine type, scopes and minor accessories like adding a bipod for stable shooting or a laser pointer to help you you tag a location for your teammates. But some parts of the gun like stocks, bipods or barrel types are not player customizable and are presented in the form of another variant of the gun instead. (The latter is changed in ''Ghost Recon: Phantoms'' with the arrival of fully-customizable ModMaster weapons)
