Ubisoft has today announced that 'Khyber Strike', the third DLC package for Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, is now available for download for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Priced at 800 Microsoft Points or £7.99/$9.99, Khyber Strike features three new multiplayer maps (Switchback, Palace, and Transit), a new multiplayer game mode called “Takeover,” a new Guerrilla Mode co-op map (Village), new achievements, and an increased level cap increase of +10.

Ubisoft has today announced that 'Khyber Strike', the third DLC package for Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, will be available for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on October 9th for 800 Microsoft points or £7.99.

Khyber Strike will feature three new multiplayer maps, a new multiplayer game mode called “Takeover,” a new Guerrilla Mode co-op map, new achievements, and an increased level cap increase of +10. The Khyber Strike DLC features:

3 new multiplayer maps:

Switchback: Step off the main road leading down into the city and into a maze of ancient buildings and narrow alleys. The twists and turns of the alleyways turn every corner into a close-quarters deathtrap.

Palace: There's no time for reflection even in this magnificent relic. What once was a museum dedicated to showing the glories of the past is now a battlefield, with a massive courtyard at the heart of its contested ground.

Transit: A Moscow metro station makes for close quarters and close-range combat. Trains pulling into and out of the station add to the danger as Ghosts and Bodark slug it out underground.

New Guerrilla Mode map “Village” (4 players online / 2 players in local split screen) - A peaceful country village finds itself transformed into a battleground, as fighting rages around its central bus station. Long alleyways that run between war-damaged buildings make a perfect hunting ground for snipers, and a shootout near the town's gas station could turn explosive.

New multiplayer game mode “Takeover” - Similar to a classic team deathmatch, score points for your team by eliminating enemies. Tip the scales by taking control of the enemy’s objective and earn a score multiplier to your team. Defend your team’s objective to prevent the enemy from gaining the same advantage. Choose to split your team to defend and attack at the same time, or move as a group and overwhelm your enemy. When the mission ends, the team with highest score wins.

Ubisoft has announced that the second DLC pack for Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, Raven Strike, will be available on 11th September for the Xbox 360 and 12th September for the PlayStation 3.

A throwback to traditional Ghost Recon gameplay, Raven Strike features larger maps, complex missions and an increased level of difficulty. It contains three campaign missions and a new Guerilla Mode map, each playable with up to four players.

The Raven Strike DLC content includes:

3 new missions in Campaign Mode:

• Secure Dawn: a foggy marsh in Kazakhstan where the Ghosts will not be allowed access to advanced technology (no optical camouflage, drone or sensor grenade).
• Cold Walker: a train depot on the Russian countryside.
• Argent Thunder: a nighttime urban setting in Moscow.

1 new map in Guerrilla Mode:

• Sawmill: face 50 waves of enemies on a foggy Russian countryside.

Raven Strike will be available for purchase for 1200 Microsoft points on Xbox Live or £11.99 on the PlayStation Network.

Ubisoft has confirmed that Ghost Recon: Future Soldier's first downloadable content has been delayed. 'Arctic Strike' had been due to launch on Xbox LIVE and PlayStation Network tomorrow. However, the content will now not release until later this month.

Why should you care about another modern shooter? It’s a tough question, and one I’m not sure Ghost Recon: Future Soldier can answer convincingly, even if Jeremy Paxman were giving it a grilling. Some of its environments look ominously COD-like, and those are big toes to step on.

Now it’s the turn of Ghost Recon: Future Soldier and although the quotes given to PC Gamer don’t actually accuse us all of ‘bitching’, they do paint an unpleasant view of the PC gaming landscape. We’re told that Ghost Recon Online is the PC’s alternative to Ghost Recon: Future Soldier.
