Ubisoft announced the release of the new 0.9.0 patch for Ghost Recon Online that will bring various new features and Halloween themed content. Developed by Ubisoft Singapore, Ghost Recon Online is a free-to-play, third-person online multiplayer shooter that brings a new dimension to tactical team play.
Clans
One of the most requested features by the community, Clans are a key driver for social competition in Ghost Recon Online. The various elements of Clans will be introduced in phases in Ghost Recon Online, starting with the 0.9.0 patch. With the patch, the community will first be able to start forming social bonds with their friends and other players through the creation, formation and management of their own Clans. Players will also be able to enhance their Clan identity through the use of Clan Tags and customizable Clan crests, which can be used as their personal avatars as well.
The next phase of Clans will happen in early 2013 with the introduction of the competitive elements. This is when players will be able to challenge other Clans in either ranked or unranked Clan matches. The results and stats from ranked Clan matches will also be tracked on Clan leader boards, to show one and all which clan is the best.
Beginner’s Playlist
With the Beginner’s Playlist, players new to Ghost Recon Online will be able to learn the game’s basics and build up their skills first, before being pitted against more experienced players. Players who have all 3 characters between levels 1 to 4, can utilize the Beginner’s Playlist, in order to play against similar players. New players will have the option of playing against more experienced players by choosing the All Players Playlist instead.
Halloween event
The end of October is known for spooky Halloween celebrations, and Ghost Recon Online will be adding to the festivities with its Halloween Content Pack. Featuring new and exclusive Halloween skins as well as different weapon stats, these 6 Halloween weapons, will only be available for a limited period. Gear up, and be prepared for Halloween.
In Ghost Recon Online, the player can choose between three classes: Assault, Specialist, or Recon, to suit their particular style of play. As they evolve through the game, each Class character will be able to deploy unique Class Devices and other hi-tech equipment to enhance not only their individual combat effectiveness, but also that of other team. Tactical team play will be crucial for victory in the fierce 16 player online matches. Ghost Recon Online delivers a premium PC online shooter experience that is downloadable and playable for free. However, players can decide to further enhance their experience by purchasing game items with either Requisition Points which can be earned by playing the game, or with Ghost Coins, that can be purchased with real currency.
