The complete list of changes is even bigger than this. You can take a look at it on Ubisoft's forums. Hopefully, these changes will dramatically improve the game. However, when I played it, I still found it to be a compelling experience, much better than Ghost Recon Wildlands.
In Windows Central's review, I wrote, "Ghost Recon Breakpoint is a good game, and one that I didn't expect to like as much as I did. I found Ghost Recon Wildlands to be an incredibly boring experience, and Ghost Recon Breakpoint redeems itself with a better story, voice acting, and gameplay enhancements. There's a lot to do in the game, and if you like to lose yourself in particular worlds for months, rest assured that you'll do so with this title."
