'''''Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier''''' is a video game published by [[Ubisoft Entertainment]] available on the [[W:Xbox 360|Xbox 360]], [[W:PlayStation 3|PS3]], and [[W:Personal computer|PC]]. Excluding expansions to previous titles, this is the fifth installment in the ''[[Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon (media franchise)|Ghost Recon]]'' series, and brings the universe into a post-modern setting.

==Development==
Initially, the title was revealed to be ''Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Predator'' by an OFLC release. However in December 2009, "''Ghost Recon: Future Soldier''" was trademarked by Ubisoft, raising speculation that this could be the name for the upcoming Ghost Recon 4. This was subsequently confirmed by an official announcement that same year. In November 2010, ''[[Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Predator|Ghost Recon: Predator]]'' was released exclusively for the Playstation Portable and took place during a conflict in [[Sri Lanka]].

While the release of ''Future Soldier'' was targeted for the 2009-2010 fiscal year, Ubisoft later announced that the release date would be pushed back until the 2010-2011 fiscal year to "strengthen" its video game line-up. In May 2010, Ubisoft announced that the release of ''Future Soldier'' would be delayed until the "March quarter of 2011". It was later delayed until May 2012. Ubisoft Paris wanted to ensure the best experience for players by holding it back for a few months to ensure as much of the game is as good as they can get it to be.

The game was released on May 22, 2012 in America and May 24th, 2012 in Europe for [[W:Xbox 360|Xbox 360]] and [[W:PlayStation 3|PS3]]. The [[W:Personal computer|PC]] version was released on June 12, 2012. Planned [[W:Nintendo DS|Nintendo DS]] and [[W:PlayStation Portable|PSP]] versions were cancelled in 2011.

Since its release, three downloadable content packs have been made available for purchase.

==Gameplay==
''Ghost Recon: Future Soldier'' is a third-person cover-based shooter; however, aiming down the sights will cause it to switch to a first-person camera for more precise aiming. In addition, cover is partially destructible and fire from enemy machine guns will cause an FOV reducing 'suppression' effect.

Unlike previous Ghost Recon games, squad micromanagement is replaced by target marking: the Ghosts' AI handles the details. During firefights, the player can mark one high priority target on which squad-members should focus their fire, and outside of firefights, the player can mark up to four targets for the Ghosts to shoot either with them, or on their command, in perfect synchronicity.

===Gunsmith===
{{Main|Gunsmith}}
During E3 2011 Ubisoft, debuted [[Gunsmith]], which allows the player to customize and test weapons with alternative optics, attachments, trigger groups, barrels, and more in both singleplayer and multiplayer. This groundbreaking feature allows the player to fully customize their weapon selections. In the campaign, players will unlock weapons complete with every one of their respective attachments by completing missions and challenges. On the other hand, in multiplayer, players will unlock weapons and earn credits for weapon parts as they level their character. Furthermore, on the Xbox 360, players can use [[W:Kinect|Kinect]] to customize their weapons through hand gestures and voice commands.

The types of attachments and modifications for ''Future Soldier'' include:
*Optics: Allow the attachment of both close-quarters and long-range optics.
*Paint: Camouflage (aesthetic only, has no effect on weapon performance).
*Trigger Groups: Allow fire mode adjustments, such as full-auto and burst fire.
*Magazines: Allow for greater capacity, alternative ammunition, and faster reloading.
*Under-barrel: Grips and bi-pods for increased accuracy, or launchers and shotguns for increased damage.
*Gas Systems: Fire rate adjustments are made here.
*Side Rail: Aiming lasers and heartbeat sensors attach here.
*Barrels: Change the length of barrel for long, close or mid range combat.
*Muzzle: Add suppressors for stealth or recoil compensators to increase precision or hide muzzle flash.
*Stocks: Change the stock to increase maneuverability or accuracy.

In single-player, Ghost and Russian weapons are unlocked by completing missions and challenges, respectively. In multiplayer, weapons are unlocked per class as rank is increased with a class.

At any time while using the [[Gunsmith]] a player can visit the firing range, permitting him/her to test their weapon at close, medium, long, and extremely long ranges.

The game has approximately 52 different weapon variants through customization.

==Storyline==
''Ghost Recon: Future Soldier'' opens with a four-man [[Ghost Recon|Ghost Team]], code-named "[[Predator Team|Predator]]", led by [[Joe Ramirez]], deployed in [[Nicaragua]] to disrupt weapons traffickers. Upon inspection of the convoy vehicles, a dirty bomb detonates, killing the team. Investigating the cause and tracking down the source of the bomb is tasked to another Ghost team call-signed "[[Hunter Team|Hunter]]", consisting of [[Ghost Lead]]er Captain [[Cedrick Ferguson]], Staff Sergeant [[John Kozak]], Master Sergeant [[Pepper|Robert "Pepper" Bonifacio]], and Sergeant First Class [[30K|Jimmy "30K" Ellison]]. The team ships out under the supervision of Major [[Scott Mitchell]].

Mitchell informs the team of their new mission to rescue an arms dealer named [[Gabriel Paez]] in Bolivia who has information about where the bomb came from. The team rescues Paez and then proceeds to follow the trail of guns from Zambia where they eliminate a local warlord, then to Nigeria, Pakistan, Norway, and finally into Russia, where the team destroys an arms shipment at an airport, causing an international incident.

Some time later, a nuclear missile fired from Russia impacts London, but the nuclear warhead is eliminated at the last minute by the US Missile Shield. The launch is traced to a rogue Russian group known as [[Raven's Rock]] in Dagestan. The team is ordered into Dagestan to rescue a Georgian Special Forces unit who went to investigate the launch site. It is later found that only their commanding officer, Sergeant Osadze is alive but is captured by the Russians. During the rescue operation, which successfully frees Osadze, the team is ambushed by Russian Spetsnaz that have access to high-tech equipment on the same level as the Ghosts, and it is later revealed that these soldiers are part of Russia's elite "[[Bodark]]" unit, which have sided with Raven's Rock.

Raven's Rock then stages a coup and is now in charge of the majority of Russia. "Hunter" then heads to northern Russia to secure a drilling ship to support the Loyalist Russian Forces in attempt to stop the Raven's rocks's forces. After accomplishing this, the team is assigned to rescue a loyalist general who is seen as the leader of the resistance. After destroying the artillery that was attacking the General's forces, the team is pinned down by overwhelming Russian forces, until air support from [[w:c:hawx:H.A.W.X. squadron|H.A.W.X. squadron]] arrives and eliminate all opposition. Next, Kozak is tasked with a solo operation to rescue the Russian President, [[Volodin]], from a 'black' prison in Siberia. Kozak is successful, and then the team protects the President in his return to Moscow, and eliminates a Raven's Rock General. The Raven's Rock forces are overthrown and the crisis ends.

While everyone else is celebrating, the team receives intelligence on the location of the seven other leaders of Raven's Rock, which orchestrated the whole crisis. The team is sent in on a clandestine operation to eliminate the seven. After eliminating six of the seven, the team chases the last member, code-named "[[Petrakov|Ace]]", to a train station, where they wound him. The wounded Ace taunts the team that they will not kill him because the American government will stop them. Just before they are about to execute him, Major Mitchell calls them off, stating that Ace is to be kept alive and brought back to America, that the orders came "from the top", and that they are "not to touch" Ace. At that point a train comes, and Ace, who is wounded on the tracks, calls for the team to save him, reminding them that their orders were to keep him alive. Ferguson corrects him, saying that that their orders were not to touch him, as the team leaves Ace to be run over by the train.

===Raven Strike===
Following the mission in Georgia, the Ghosts are deployed to help a loyalist Russian General. They steal a Russian command train to kill four Bodark leaders while covering their involvement in the operation.

==Multiplayer==
'''''Ghost Recon Future Soldier's''''' multiplayer modes allow you to experience the future of warfare like never before. Select from three classes (Rifleman, Engineer, and Scout) and unlock new gear to battle on ten maps. During your online career you gain experience and levels, all leading to decisions that you make to customize and develop your character. But it's not all about you. You won't be successful without teamwork. The multiplayer modes offer many opportunities to work together and help your team gain the upper hand in each battle. Gather intel on your opponents' positions and share it with your teammates. Or use the suppression system to pin your enemies down while your teammates flank them.


===Classes===
Divided into three distinct classes, the combatants on either [[Ghost Recon|The Ghosts]] or [[Bodark]] teams are not necessarily carbon copies of each other. On the contrary, they have their own weapons, unlock progression, XP levels, and abilities, allowing for full customization of not just a particular style of play per class, but also per round.

===Maps===
{{GRFS Maps}}

===Gamemodes===
====''Conflict''====
*Objective Game Type.
*15 Minute Time Limit.
*Respawns: Yes.
*Rounds: 1.

Conflict is an objective game type where two teams fight over numerous random objectives placed on the map. Interact with the objective to take it for your team. After taking an objective, your team must defend it until the time runs out and activates another objective somewhere on the map. If you start capturing an objective while the timer (objective or game timer) runs out, you will still be able to capture it, unless killed by the enemy.

Completing objectives will add 100 points to your team's score. One point will be added to your team's score for various Objective Based bonus points. Examples of objective points would be killing an enemy that is trying to take your objective. The team with the highest score at the end of the 15 minute time limit wins.

Some objectives will require you to interact with them to capture them for your team. Once captured, you will have to defend them. The enemy can recapture some objectives after your team has captured them. Your team can then capture them back.

Each round lasts around three minutes. If neither team can capture the objective before the time runs out, a new round will spawn on the map.


====''Decoy''====
*Best out of 3 Rounds.
*3 Objectives (1 Key, 2 Decoy).
*Neither team knows the Key.
*Complete Key objectives to reveal final objective.
*Attackers win round by destroying final objective.
*Defenders win round by stopping attackers.

Decoy is an objective game mode in Adversarial Mode. Two teams fight over three objectives throughout three rounds, each lasting ten minutes long. Two of the objectives are decoys, one is the key objective. Once the Key Objective is completed, it will reveal a fourth, final objective which ends the round when completed / defended. Neither team will know which is the key objective. After completing the Key Objective, the Round Timer will increase, giving the Attacking Team more time to go after the final objective.

Teams will switch between defending and attacking after each round, but teams will not switch Factions on each round. Attackers must complete all objectives to win the round. Defenders must defend objectives for the ten minute time limit to win each round.


====''Saboteur''====
*Objective Game Type.
*10 Minute Time Limit.
*Respawns: Yes.
*Rounds: 1.

Saboteur is an objective game type where two teams try to blow up the other team's base. A neutral bomb will be placed in the middle of the map. The first team to take the bomb and detonate it in the other team's base wins. If the bomb is not detonated after the 10 minutes, the team with the most Teamwork Actions (Score) will break the tie.

The user holding the bomb will not be able to run. In addition to that, they will only be able to use their secondary weapon. Use the bomb near the enemy's base to earn 100 points. Fill the gauge to detonate the bomb and earn an additional 500 points.


====''Siege''====
*Best out of 3 Rounds.
*No Respawns.
*Attackers win round if objective is completed or defenders are eliminated.
*Defenders win round if time expires or attackers are eliminated.

Siege is an objective or elimination based Game Type. Two teams face each other in three rounds, each lasting a max of five minutes. One team is on offense and must transmit intel from an objective, while the other team is on defense and must protect the objective. Defense spawns near the objective from the start of the match. Offense must wait ten seconds to spawn and can spawn on any side of the map.

Rounds can also be won if one of the teams is completely eliminated. There will be no respawns, which means once you die, you have to wait until the next round. Since there are no respawns, each kill awards you with 750 Points instead of the regular 75. Completing the Objective will award you with 3000 points! All other Points will be the same.


====''Stockade''====
(''Arctic Strike'' DLC)
*10-minute rounds.
*Team-based match.
*Players are sent to the "stockade" upon death. Killing an enemy player releases a teammate from the stockade. Killing all enemy players results in an end to the match.
*Teammate points are scored as a tiebreaker.
*Hacking an objective frees all teammates from the stockade.

Stockade mode is the newest playlist from the Arctic Strike DLC. Stockade takes an interesting spin on Team Deathmatch. Every one spawns at the beginning with one life. If you die you can not respawn until a teammate kills an enemy. Each kill results in one respawn. When the last man for a team dies the match is over.

There are also objectives that periodically appear throughout the match. If the objective is secured your entire team will receive a respawn.

<u>Important Note:</u> Your team can not queue up respawns with kills. For example: When all six members of your team are alive and you kill four enemies and the fifth kills you, you will not receive a respawn until another enemy is killed.


====''Takeover''====
(''Khyber Strike'' DLC)
*10-minute rounds.
*Death-match style.
*Killing an enemy player is one point.

Similar to the classic Team Deathmatch, Takeover has you score points for your team by eliminating enemies. However, you can tip the scales by taking control of the enemy's objective and earn a score multiplier to your team. You'll also need to defend your team's objective to prevent the enemy team from getting the same advantage. The team with the highest score at the end of the mission wins.


====''Guerrilla''====
The objective in Guerrilla Mode is to secure and defend an HQ against 50 waves of enemies on each map. After 10 waves, you must move to a new HQ and defend for another 10 waves, all the way until your each 50. The game can be set on Recruit, Veteran, or Elite Difficulty.

*Gunsmith is not available in Guerrilla. All weapons are found on enemies or from random drops every wave.

==Film==
{{Main|Ghost Recon: ALPHA}}
With a budget of eight to ten million dollars and [[wikipedia:Francois Alaux|Francois Alaux]] as its director, ''[[Ghost Recon: ALPHA]]'' is a 24-minute live action prequel to ''Future Soldier'' co-written by Herve de Crecy and Tim Sexton. A copy will be included with the game's collector's edition.

As of May 25, 2012, ''<nowiki>Ghost Recon Alpha'</nowiki>'' is available for free in Xbox LIVE Market Place. The film was a prequel to the original idea of a squad-based tactical shooter. It is canon and serves as a prequel to the events of ''Future Soldier''. During the events of ''Alpha'', [[Ghost Recon|The Ghosts]] are tasked with disarming and taking several nuclear devices. They manage to disarm several but the team encounters [[Bodark]] (their Russian equivalent) and a member of the team is killed during the conflict. The nukes are airlifted out and the film ends with a shot of London, identical to the shot seen in ''Future Soldier.''

The squad seems to undergo some changes between ''Alpha'' and ''Future Soldier''. In the film the only African American [[Chuck|member]] of the team is killed and another becomes the leader of the squad in ''Future Soldier''. It is unknown whether the leader of the squad in Alpha is Kozak or not, however Kozak is meant to be the technical expert of the squad so it wouldn't make sense for him to have someone else disarm the weapon as is done in the film.

==''Believe in Ghosts'' miniseries==
"Mac" Machowicz hosted a three-part miniseries titled "Believe in Ghosts". Here Machowicz looks at elements in the game and compares them to real life operations performed by special forces.

*The original version had a trailer, ''[[Ghost Recon Future Soldier: Future War]]'', which featured a storyline around a team of Ghosts conducting [[Operation "Take Down Overlord"]].
*The E3 2011 trailer showed off the new build of the game with sync shots and a tri-rotor UAV.
*[[Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands|Ghost Recon Wildlands]] and [[Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Breakpoint|Breakpoint]] both received unique John Kozak oufits from Future Soldier. In addition, Breakpoint with the release of Operation Motherland had the Bodark reintroduced as the antagonist in the post-released [[Conquest Mode (Operation Motherland)|Conquest mode]].
