Sometimes I accidentally shoot some of them.
They definitely have been in my way almost every time I shoot, though I am shooting at them as much as I am the Cartel or Unidad lol.

Squad also has a tendency to run in front of you just as you're pulling the trigger to to take out someone. Especially inside buildings. You peek out the doorway aim at the enemy and all you see is your idiot looming into the picture, the shoot is blocked and the enemy shoots you in the head instead.
Title Update 4: Patch Notes
Greetings Ghosts,
Below, you will find the patch notes for Title Update 4, which will be available on May 17 at approximately 9AM UTC for PC, and May 18 at approximately 9AM UTC for consoles. Similar to previous updates, TU4 will include a brief maintenance period to update servers for the new version. The patch will be up to 7.2 GB PC depending on your client, and up to 9.0 GB on consoles, depending on your installed version; again, an in-game notification will alert players to the availability of the update. A game reboot will be required to apply the patch, and players will need to have the same version of the game in order to play co-op.
Title Update 4 draws much of its focus from player feedback, including several quality of life changes for co-op and solo play and a suite of new HUD and UI options. Co-op players will be able to alert their squad mates when dying, and tagged resource crates will be granted to every teammate in the collecting player’s zone. Downed players will redeploy at the mission starting point, rather than at a random location in the world, and there is now a brief window of time to take down an alerted enemy before a stealth mission is failed.
Title Update 4 will also usher in season two of the Live Season Challenges, with a new focus, new challenges, and new rewards! Additionally, Challenges will now include some additional gameplay parameters such as difficulty or HUD settings. You can follow along with the new episodes at the Ghost Recon Network.
A new round of improvements and bug-fixes will be implemented with this patch. For example, the introductory Kingslayer video no longer triggers upon launch, and full magazines are no longer consumed when a suppressor is applied to a weapon in the gunsmith menu.
Finally, Title Update 4 paves the way for the upcoming Fallen Ghosts DLC, first announced here. Stay on the lookout for more intel about Fallen Ghosts, coming soon.
You can follow along with which issues are currently being investigated on our official forums’ Known Issues list.
HUD AND UI IMPROVEMENTS
Improvements to the HUD include splitting several broad HUD options into a wider variety of more granular options. Please note that some of these were already implemented on the TU 3.5 update for PC, but are now fully and officially implemented across all platforms:
-“Contextual Actions” has been split from “Input Reminders”

Any word on when they're going to add PVP to this game?
Never heard that idea for this.
https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2017/03/02/ghost-recon-wildlands-post-launch-content-plans-pvp/
Was in the news a while back but have not heard much on it since. Sounds interesting, but that is such a huge world to be stuck in with only 3 friends
Would love to be able to add some AI bots and scale the number of Cartel folks and have a crazy engagement.https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2017/03/02/ghost-recon-wildlands-post-launch-content-plans-pvp/

Those would all be awesome ideas.
I'm betting PVP isn't going to happen at this point.

THE NEW PVP PATCH!
I could be nuts but I feel like there's some more enhanced weather and a smidge more eye candy in this as well.
I dont have the DLC but I have noticed improvements like that in the regular game. More dirt sticking more dynamically to cars and such. Probably tweaking the engine for Far Cry 5 and such but it really looks much better now.

The radio missions are the WORST. I don't even do them, I've attempted plenty of them but they are mostly impossible. Complete waste of time, I have all of the other rebel options maxed out except for those.
With the rebels, all I cared about was maxing out the "hired guns" option because sometimes I needed cannon fodder and mass sweeps when Unidad would get big on me.
Once in a while the mortar was useful and after that I really never bother with them.
Spoiler about ending of main campaign:

Spoiler about ending of main campaign:
Without spoiling it: That lead in to the end of the main campaign made me feel justified and vindicated that I hadn't spent a lot of time and effort in that direction anyways. The rebels essentially turn on you at the end and I was fine with that.
It's best to completely ignore the route suggested in many situations, and go on a motorcycle/jeep offroad or a helicopter. The suggested GPS routes are often horrible and will take much longer than needed to get there. I have recently 100% the game and yes, the radio tower ones were the most annoying but still not that bad.
I actually enjoyed these. Proper planning like putting C4/mines on all the routes cars can come and ordering guys / rebels to the right spots makes most of these a piece of cake. One of the very few times that I failed, I shot down a helicopter and it LANDED ON THE RADIO. I wasn't even mad, laughed too hard.

I simply ignore defend radio missions. They're useless. Of course now that I have a grenade launcher it would'be infinitely easier to do them as I can just instakill them in the cars. But There is plenty of other things to do in the game.I don't really do any rebel support missions either way. as the rebels are mostly useless anyway.
Yesterday I got so mad at the game. I landed on top of a petroleum tank and the railing on it's sides was impossible to cross. The game wouldn't offer the prompt to climb it. So I was trapped there for all eternity. And I only realized this after killing a few dozen unidad, cartel and at least 5 choppers.

Need to check it out. Can't get my usual co-op buddies interested in this game.

I don't think it's an intentional restriction, only a level design error. I suspect they had to manually set the climbamble / non-climbable flag on each object and they forgot some. Most likely the ones at locations they didn't think someone would end up at. But in a game with helicopters you can literally end up anywhere. Including falling out of the terrain below.There are a ton of areas that you should be able to climb but they restricted it

This game is so far the most pleasant surprise of the year. Much like XCOM2 was last year. It'd be tough to knock it off from being my prime candidate for game of the year.
Damn, alright I need to put some more time in.
I see Fallen Ghosts is available standalone (outside of the season pass) starting today. Based on the feedback in this thread it sounds like it's safe to skip the season pass and Narco Road and just grab Fallen Ghosts.?
Edit: pricing is a little wacky on Steam. $40 for season pass to get both DLC, or buy DLC individually for $15 each. Wonder if this means more is planned for the seasonpass.

YES!
I hope so.
Look at GMG...look at Uplay... look at Steam... look at CD Keys if you feel good about that option. The Season Pass is a nice value if we get Fallen Ghosts and even one more comparable DLC.
Up to you and your wallet.
The worst case scenario is: You fire up Narco DLC... you might like it or at least some aspects of it and get something out of it. I played it for a little while then just gave up on it because I got tired of the "you have to race cars and do stunts and BS to make something happen."
Fallen Ghosts is more of everything that's good and then some. They can milk this for a LONG time if they keep cranking out Fallen Ghosts caliber DLCs.

I don't have the season pass, or any of the DLCs so can't help there. But I think you can worry about the DLCs after you finished the basic game, there is plenty of missions already in it.
I'm yet to finish the game myself. I'm only about 80% trough the main missions. after 36h, and I didn't do too many side missions. Standing at 83 missions completed. Probably get close to 100 by the end. And I might even continue with the rest after that.

There sure as heck better be!!!!!!
They need to improve the weekly challenges. Freeing rebels when there are only 2 jails and only 1 spawning rebels is reallllllly lame. Would be so much more fun to go through the jail in the unidad base on expert and have to free rebels without getting spotted or something.

I finished the game It was great, but the ending was a bit of a disappointment. Not story wise. But.
But oh well, still the best game this year.
I wanted to cut the head of Pac Katari off myself, also the complete lack of a final confrontation was really disappointing. The timer really spoiled the last mission, the only way you could fight your way to the mausoleum in time is by apc, even with that I only had 2 minutes by the time I got to the door at least sueno was killed, I didn't expect that, still in a cutscene, there should've been a last mission where he tries to run, and you kill him properly in game
I hated how it ended, the latter third of the game was very lack luster. They did a lot of fun setup to something "grand" when instead it just petered out for me. I figured Pac would be dead and I failed twice just killing rebels at the safe house meet for giggles. I beat it by having a chopper ready, flying over there and parachuting to the left of the door. No enemies, then through some parkour getting over to the door. There are two endings, I did not get that one which is the better of the two.
Was fun overall though.

I read after the endings and it supposedly changes based on finishing all the missions or not. I did all the missions, every single one of them, including the Sandoval missions, and still got the "bad ending" WTF? Bug?
Edit: So after further reading it seems the game is stupid. Even if you finish to 100% before you start the last mission, you'll still get the bad ending.
There are multiple reports around the net from people saying this happened to them.

Not positive, I did not get the ending you got which was meh was better than the one I got. I was so annoyed I just you tubed it lol. I did pre order and got the bonus missions (meh) so maybe that has something to do with it. I just jump in to play around and fly around having fun in that aspect of it trying to forget how they chose to tie it up hah.

Re-playing the final mission a second time gets you the correct ending I can confirm this. But this is just a very stupid bug. Like they never imagined someone would actually do all the missions before going for the final? Guess they never heard about completionists. And I don't even consider myself that as I only collected 29% of collectibles according to uplay. So big fail on their part. I'm going to edit my review based on this new revelation I wanted to mention a few things anyway that I forgot originally.
