Plot: What’s it about?

If you’ve been in the trenches of Ghost Recon: Future Soldier since release, then you know how intense the multi-player combat sessions can be. As much fun as those launch maps have given us, Ubisoft has pumped some new blood into the mix with the Arctic Strike DLC pack. In the competitive mode, Arctic Strike opens the gates to three new maps to punish your enemies on. So you’ll want to learn these new maps and jump into action right off the bat. I found these new maps to be well designed, with a good combat flow that has elements that suit all the classes. So regardless of your style of play, you’ll find a lot to like with these new maps. In addition to the maps, we’ve also been given a new mode, called Stockade. In this mode, soldiers are put into a stockade upon death, a penalty box if you will. Players are able to let them out slowly via kills or free the entire stockade under certain circumstances. This is a fun, innovative mode that should delight players of all kinds.

For those who prefer to work together, Arctic Strike houses a brand new Guerilla mode co-op map. I love Ghost Recon: Future Soldier’s co-op mode, so this new map was much appreciated. The map is well laid out and allows you to stand your ground at various spots, or run and gun behind the well placed cover locations. Arctic Strike doesn’t end there however, as you can also find six new guns for your arsenal. Each class has been given two new weapons, all fully customizable like the original collection of guns. So now you can tweak your load out to put these new weapons to good use. This pack also increases the level cap by ten levels, which means you have plenty of XP to collect in the various modes. And of course, we have a nice selection of new achievements to earn and that is always a welcome inclusion. As you can see, this Arctic Strike DLC pack has a lot of content and for a low price, so fans of Ghost Recon: Future Soldier shouldn’t hesitate to download this pack.
