Ubisoft is offering gamers a chance to be the first to play Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Future Soldier's Multiplayer Beta this summer 2010. This exclusive beta invitation will be available for a limited time to customers who purchase Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Conviction for the Xbox 360, which releases on 16 April 2010.

Ubisoft  are, and remain, loyal to the Ghost Recon brand value of authenticity. In general Ghost Recon: Future Soldier is based on the very real Future Soldier Initiative 2030, which is a U.S. Army R&D program run by the US Army Natick Soldier Research Development and Engineering Center. The Optical camo feature shown in the recent trailer, like other technologies in Future Solider, is a near-future reality, and this is why we chose to include it in GRFS.

Ubisoft plans to discuss its references and inspirations in the coming months, so that you can see that they’ve done their homework in order to bring you a plausible future war scenario. In terms of optical camo, there are actually numerous research and military programs on it. But if you’re curious now, go ahead and google “optical camouflage” to see it in action for yourself.
