With the new Heads-Up Display adaptations, you'll have real-time intel projected onto your soldier's goggles. This killer feature also allows you to control drones and locate enemy targets on the fly.
Optical Camouflage
Optical Camouflage
Also known as: invisibility. This definitely puts the "Future" in "Future Soldier," but if you think of it as manipulating light as a means of camouflage, it almost starts to sound possible.
Sync Shot

The game features a tagging system for enemy targets; zones can be tagged by drone or on the ground, allowing for synchronized team attacks.
GunSmith Mode
GunSmith Mode
The Ghost Recon Future Soldier GunSmith puts 20 million weapons at your disposal (that's right), with seemingly limitless customization possibilities coming from different attachments, components, and hardware. You can even test your weapon at the firing range before taking it into battle.

The equipment in-game soldiers carry allows for supreme agility, and the game has a cool feature that allows you to dart from one cover spot to another with the push of a button.
Hand-to-Hand Combat
Hand-to-Hand Combat
With expert hand-to-hand skills having become a requirement for any international military-trained bad-ass, it's only natural that Ghost Recon Future Soldier would have stepped up its game in this department. It's time to get up and close and personal with your enemies.
Improved Mobility
Improved Mobility
With a version of the ChainSAW Light Machinegun prototype, your Ghost Recon character has the type of firepower that typically comes from a more limiting, shoulder-mounted weapon. The Future Soldier can roll, cover, slide, climb and disappear to stalk and take down his prey.
Missions and Locales
Missions and Locales
The new game includes twelve different missions, set across eight amazingly rendered locales. This means you'll be fighting across diverse terrain with unique challenges, from a dust storm in Africa to the ice of the Arctic.
Guerilla Mode
Guerilla Mode
Real-life U.S. Army counter-insurgency tactics were the inspiration for this mode, in which you and your team capture and secure an area, and then battle off wave after wave of enemy attackers. You can play in this mode with up to three friends online, or play in split-screen mode on the same console.
Multi-Player Mode
Multi-Player Mode
Up to twelve players can battle at once, in six on six teams. As you gain experience and levels, you'll be able to further customize your character, gather intel on your enemies, and then pin them using the new suppression system.
