I can't say that I'm an avid fan of Ghost Recon out of all the other Tom Clancy games I play, but really enjoyed the futuristic setting, complexity and team-play for Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter.  Ghost Recon Online will be a free to play online First-Person Shooter by Ubisoft's new Free UPlay division (much like Electronic Arts' free2play games).  From the trailer, the graphics look decent, the environments are going to be more urban, and the gameplay is going to require more than just a quick trigger-finger.  I've already signed up for Beta and you can do by clicking on the link on the top of this post and click "Apply for Beta".  If it's anything like other Ghost Recon Games, the gameplay is going to be much slower and strategic rather than being fast-paced and reflex-based shooting much like other free online FPS games.  From the short few seconds at 1:08 in the trailer, it looks like there's going to be a capture point mode much like Call of Duty's Domination mode or Battlefield: Bad Company 2's Conquest mode.  Free to play games are really stepping up with big name franchises joining the scene.  I'm not sure what to expect out of this game, but willing to try it out.
