Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: FS Khyber Strike DLC

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: FS Khyber Strike DLC

Nobody make a Carry On joke...

Written by DavieMarshall on 03 October 12 at 11:02

Let's clear one thing up right away. Anyone here for the Carry On gags may leave now. I can't stand those dated films. For everyone who's left we have some details on the latest DLC pack to be announced for TC's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier. Entitled "Khyber Strike" Ubisoft are introducing some new multiplayer content and even a new game mode.

Pack shot


The new mode is more akin to the classic Team Deathmatch that many players sorely missed. It has an interesting twist however. Additionally there will be new achievements and of course a level cap increase to boot. Here's the DLC itemised:

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
Ubisoft provided three screenshots showcasing the brand new maps too:

Kyber Strike 1

Kyber Strike 2

Kyber Strike 3


The DLC will cost 800MSP and arrives on the Marketplace on October 9th. Thanks to everyone who sent this in.

Multiplayer DLC being cheaper than campaign DLC? Well, you don't see that happen too often. But, looks good regardless. Lets hope for a level 70 achievo. wink

The last multiplayer DLC was not worth the money. I hope this will be different.

I think I'll wait until this goes on DOTW.
This here is what you call domination. It's a combination of skill and concentration.

Achievement descriptions please! Also, are they going to add more weapons - the last lot were a tad underwhelming.

This actually looks decent, and reasonably priced, The last two were way too expensive for what they offered and were pretty bad from what I heard, but this could be worth picking up.

Two trophies (from PS3Trophies.com), so I assume it's the same for achievements:

Tour of Duty: DLC Map Pack 3
Win 3 MP of any game type on each: Switchback, Palace, and Transit maps

Takeover Domination
Be part of a squad match where your team wins by more than 500 points.


I'm assuming it's the same point values as the Arctic Strike DLC since they are basically the same achievements (25 and 10 points respectively).

I can almost here the rants about this game being 1205 gamerscore now... wink
