New covert ops game gets short film trailer

The next game in the Ghost Recon series is to be accompanied by a 30-minute film from two Oscar-winning directors, and a trailer has been released in advance of the short's anticipated autumn 2010 release.

First shown at the San Diego Comic-Con over the weekend of July 23-25, the trailer shows a tense stand-off between a truck driver and a military patrol. Hidden in the surrounds are covert tactical operatives, bearing insignia seen in previous Ghost Recon titles.

Ghost Recon: Future Soldier's resurrection of the series had been intended for a late 2010 release on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii, DS, PSP and PC, but facing strong competition from Call of Duty: Black Ops and a new Medal of Honor game, it has been delayed until early in 2011.

The teaser trailer for "Ghost Recon: Alpha" is currently being hosted by the Machinima channel on YouTube.
