Ghost Recon: Future Soldier will Feature 4-player Co-op

Details are starting to be released on the new Ghost Recon game entitled Ghost Recon: Future Soldier. We told you guys a little while back about the game's officially announcement accompanied with a teaser trailer, but didn't have much more information at that time. Now we have the joyous affirmation that yes, Ghost Recon: Future Soldier will indeed feature co-op! Better yet, it's 4-player drop-in/drop-out co-op. What else will this new installment in the Ghost Recon series offer us, though?

The latest issue of the Official Playstation Magazine (which is arriving for subscribers this week with the on-street date set for March 16th) features eight pages full of GR: Future Soldier details and screenshots. According to CVG, these are just some of the morsels of information the article reveals:

* 4-player drop-in/drop-out co-op will be available (but on the flip-side, there will be no squad-based commands)

* Character classes will have an important role in the game; players will receive bonuses for their class (e.g. optical camouflage for the Recon class, heart sensors for the Sniper class, shoulder-mounted missiles for the Commando class)

* The game's setting is 10-15 years after the events of Advanced Warfighter. The plot will revolve around the Ghosts setting out to stop an ultranationalist group that has dealt away with the president of Russia

* Ghosts will be armed with "futuristic" gear (e.g. stealth cloaks, exoskeleton legs, armored ground drones)

* There will be lots of close-quarters combat in the game

Also, keep in mind that there's a multiplayer beta offer for Ghost Recon: Future Soldier if you purchase Splinter Cell: Conviction for the 360 (another game that we're jumping out of our seats for). While supplies last, at a later date you'll be able to access the beta through SC: Conviction's in-game menu, so make sure to hold onto your disc until Summer 2010 if you're interested!

 As always, we'll keep you updated as we learn more.

I am saddened by there not being any squad commands for the single player. I miss the classic Ghost Recon where you can pull up a map and order your squad into positions.
But 4 player co-op will be cool, too.

I'm excited about the time period they are going for, it's something we haven't seen really.

well 4 players are not 16 but I'll take the hit if it means improvement in quality. (Not that the graw series had poor co-op)

You forgot some bullets
*Requires constant internet connection or you you can't play at all.
*No LAN play.
*Game will stop working when they decide to shut down the servers (could be tomorrow, you don't know).

You're talking about the PC version only, and that's if Ubi decides to implement their DMR again. This one of the many reasons that PC is pretty much the least co-op friendly platform. And that's such a horrible shame, really.

In any case, I'm excited for a 4-player co-op campaign. Hopefully we'll see the persistent XP model like in previous Clancy games.

Oh... Yeah heard about that DRM issue...

Indeed - the DRM really is too bad for the new Ubisoft games coming out on PC. I have the longest history with PC games, though I do enjoy playing action games on the 360 and PS3, so I was waffling about whether to get SC Conviction for the 360 or PC - the new DRM decided that one for me.

I'm definitely hoping for combined splitscreen and online co-op, though so I can play with my boyfriend at home with some friends online at the same time. That would be awesome.

I hope they'll at least try to preserve the more open feeling over that of later Rainbow Six titles' indoor breach n' clear gameplay. I used to love the wide-open (not exactly, but yeah) spaces of the original, and I even enjoyed part 2 and its subsequent subtitles...they kind of lost me at GRAW, though.
