Yesterday saw Ubisoft announce Ghost Recon Online which will be free to play, the game will see multiplayer, a third person perspective and cover.

In the press release Ubisoft stated:

With Ghost Recon Online, Ubisoft is delivering the most social, connected and customizable Ghost Recon experience yet. The game offers players the ability to choose between three different classes of Ghost, customize their weapons, deploy cutting-edge military technology, and share intel with their team. Ghost Recon Online also features a rich lobby platform for hosting social and persistent progression features. Ubisoft also will back the game with a full set of services, including regular events and game content updates, customized content based on community feedback, and live support.

It sounds as if Ubisoft are trying to do with EA has done with Battlefield Play4 free. Also I would expect some time of micro transaction payments in Ghost Recon Online.
