Read up on this immersive mode, still has Health regeneration? Ubisoft need to grow a pair and make an actual hardcore experience, it blows my mind that games from far smaller devs are making better open world FPS experiences than them.
The hand holding needs to stop, games like Tarkov and DayZ continue to offer experiences far beyond this trash yet Ubisoft who build stunning locals let it all fall apart with same arcade gunplay and scripted player chatter.
The new customisation options look to be pretty comprehensive. It's interesting how you and your team-mates are each able to customise aspects of the game to suit your taste... but still play together. Based on feedback from players over past months, the capability to change these things up is the kind of thing people wanted.
