Khyber Strike DLC Incoming for Ghost Recon Future Soldier

Today Ubisoft have announced their Khyber Strike DLC pack that will be the third add-on released for Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Future Soldier.

The new add-on will expand the game with three new multiplayer maps, as well as a new multiplayer game mode which is known as “Takeover”.

On top of that a brand new Guerrilla Mode co-op map has been added, and the DLC features a full complement of associated Achievements and Trophies. And those of you who have been working on levelling up your persistent character will be pleased to know that Ubisoft have even increased level cap that you can achieve.

Some of the new features in the Khyber Strike DLC  are:

• 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. ·
• 1 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.
• 1 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 Achievements
• Level cap increase of +10

These new additions should help add some longevity to the gameplay experience, although some campaign-based DLC would be appreciated. The game is still perfomring admirably in the UK charts, so expect this DLC to give the title a little extra sales boost.
