Ubisoft has detailed a Ghost Recon: Future Soldier Beta, as well as announced plans for a Ghost Recon Network.

The beta will run from April 19th to May 2nd across Xbox 360 and PS3. It'll twelve player competitive multiplayer, three classes, two modes and two maps.

The classes will be Rifleman, Engineer and Scout, the maps Pipeline and Mill. The modes are:

1. Conflict: players battle to complete objectives located throughout the map and earn points, the team with the most points at the end of the round wins. Game session: 1 round of 15 minutes.

2. Saboteur (available starting April 26th): a bomb spawns in a central location, both teams compete to retrieve the bomb and be the first to detonate it at the opposing team's base. Game session: 1 round of 10 minutes.

Beta access was already green-lit for Xbox 360 owners with a copy of Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Conviction, or by those pre-ordering Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, who'll gain a Xbox 360 beta key. However, Ubisoft has stated additional keys will be handed out as giveaways online - though exact details are still forthcoming.

The first screens from the two maps can be seen below.

As well as the beta, Ubisoft is launching the free to download Ghost Recon Network, which will support all GR titles from now on, and can be accessed through smartphones, tablets, and web browsers.
