Force Recon is a game mode for Global Mobilization focused on running stealthy recon missions behind enemy lines. Your goal is to collect sufficient intelligence about enemy forces.

Triangulate enemy positions with map markers, transmit details via the radio about their type and position and take photographs for identification. Once sufficient intel has been collected, you will still need to successfully exfiltrate.

You can try to stay undetected, but stealth is optional.

At minimum you’ll need just a friend to play with, but you can also play with a bigger group of up to 8 people. Before you step off into the mission, make sure to have a plan ready for what to do when you encounter enemy forces: Will you engage or evade? Perhaps pursue and track them back to their base?

At a certain point along the way you may be tempted to raid military field camps and command posts. There you will find rewarding enemy maps, code-books and other valuable information. Only you will know if you can do this with extreme stealth or brute force.

But consider that killing enemy forces can be detrimental to your mission’s destruction goal: Only destroy what must be destroyed and seek to evade combat. Once the enemy has you tracked you will be outgunned and trapped behind enemy lines.

Whichever way you decide to play, the enemy will be hunting for you. The longer you stay to transmit info over the radio, and the more destruction you cause, the harder the enemy will try to locate and eliminate you.



The recommended playstyle is to try and remain undetected during the entire mission.

Via mission parameters in the MP Lobby you can adjust the scenario parameters to allow for alternative rule sets. Usually to reach the extraction stage at the end of Force Recon you will require either a set amount of recon points or destruction points: These goals can be adjusted in their amount, disabled entirely or combined (Hard difficulty).

Other features such as gaining penalty destruction points for killing enemy patrols can be flipped and turned into reward points. This enables a more force-oriented playthrough. (Easy difficulty)
Whichever way you prefer to play this mission, you will be able to adjust it to that.



Part of the challenge in this game mode is to accurately locate yourself and other units on the map. To keep this a challenge, it is recommended to play without extended map information and to disable the shift-click waypoint features or any other navigational aid from the difficulty settings.



Force Recon was built with extreme customization and mod-support in mind. If you wish to create your own version of Force Recon on a new terrain or with different enemy units, then you can do so very easily. We have prepared a detailed guide on how to build your own Force Recon scenario, available on the Community Wiki[community.bistudio.com].

From the MP Mission Parameter screen you can adjust which enemy to fight.
By default you can choose between:

Further, through a plug-and-play system, these mod-factions are also available from the parameter screen. They are only selectable should you have the corresponding Mods loaded and active. (No new dedicated mission file is required for these)
