Video game publisher Ubisoft has launched a new trailer for its upcoming Ghost Recon: Future Soldier shooter, designed to show how close the virtual experience the game offers will be to how the elite forces of the real world operate.

The video is narrated by Richard Machowicz, a former Navy trained SEAL operator, working in both a scout and a sniper capacity, and he details the ways in which Special Forces soldiers use their abilities to triumph over less trained enemies.

He also talks about the Future Soldiers from the Ubisoft game and how their own special abilities allow them to get the upper hand in a number of tactical situations.

The Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 versions of Ghost Recon: Future Soldier will be launched during May and the PC version, which is significantly different, will get a beta stage during April, using a free-to-play and microtransaction business model.
