Ghost Recon Future Soldier MP Beta Offered With Conviction Pre-Order

If you’re a fan of the Ghost Recon games and have been waiting impatiently like a sex offender in front of a Chuck E. Cheese for the some hands-on [pun intended] action with the newest installment to the franchise, get ready to spooge in your pants. You’ll be getting far more than an emo Sam Fischer if you pre-order Ubisoft’s upcoming Splinter Cell: Conviction. According to the GameStop website with some reserve details for those who plan to purchase the game before any actual confirmation that the game doesn’t suck, publisher Ubisoft will be offering access to an Xbox 360-exclusive Ghost Recon: Future Soldier multiplayer beta that will only be accessible via the Splinter Cell: Conviction disc.

So, what do you say to this? Yes? No? Maybe so? I’m all for it, especially since I, Yaris mother-f’ing Gutierrez, am a hardcore fan of the franchise. Hoping for the sake of my hard-earned $60 that Conviction doesn’t suck (as you can no longer pick up bodies; takes the fun out of piling dead dudes on top of each other in “weird” positions), I think that me getting some multiplayer beta time with Ghost Recon: Future Soldier in will ensue justification for the purchase even if the game is as bad as Carrot Top as a living human being, if that’s what you call him/her. The man looks like a juiced-up Pippi Longstocking. I despise his face.

Ghost Recon: Future Soldier Live Action Trailer

In a badass move, Ubisoft is continuing the trend of awesome live-action short films based on their games. First it was Assassin’s Creed: Lineage, now it’s a live-action trailer for Ghost Recon: Future Soldier. It’s pretty amazing, rather than spoil it, just hit the jump and check it out yourself!

Splinter Cell Conviction Gets Developer Diary #4

Splinter Cell Conviction is looking rather good as far as game play concepts go in the fourth installment of Ubisoft’s developer diary for the game. Heading to the Xbox 360 in April 2010, as many of you surely know already, this title seeks to reboot the Spy Action genre with innovative features like storytelling and objective information feeds taking place on the environments themselves. Hit the break for another look into the upcoming game.

Ghost Recon: Future Soldier Announced

It’s been a couple of years since we’ve seen or experienced anything related to some of Tom Clancy’s most respected games, Ghost Recon and Rainbow Six – two franchises that have established themselves as respectable games due to its realistic approach to modern warfare and impressive stories. Though many games have filled in the empty voids left by these franchises (Modern Warfare 2, for example), there still remains gamers who have and will remain loyal to the series’.

It was known sometime early last year that a new Ghost Recon and Rainbow Six were being developed by Ubisoft behind closed doors. While months passed and many twiddled their thumbs for some news, it wasn’t until recently that Ubisoft teased with some “big” news via Xbox Live that a new installment to the Ghost Recon franchise – Ghost Recon: Future Soldier – is indeed underway. 

Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, just like all Ghost Recons, boasts “cutting-edge technology, prototype high-tech weaponry, and state-of-the-art single player and multiplayer modes,” For those of you hungry multiplayer fans, Future Solider has been promised with a beta this Summer. How do you get into it? You’ll need to get your hands on some Sam Fisher in the upcoming Splinter Cell: Conviction, as that’s where the invites will be waiting for you.

With a show of hands, I would like to know how many people are excited to finally have an overdue Ghost Recon finally hit.
