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.

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.

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.
