Future Soldier beta still a long way off, may not arrive until next year.

Ubisoft has told GamerZines that the Xbox 360-exclusive Ghost Recon: Future Soldier multiplayer beta will go live "a couple of months" before the game’s release next spring, suggesting that we may need to wait until 2011 for the chance to give the next Ghost Recon a whirl.

"It’s still coming," said Ghost Recon Future Soldier’s International Product Manager Aziz Khater when we asked what was happening with the beta.
"The game is coming in Q1 of next year and the beta is going to come out a couple of months before. We don’t have specific dates and we still can’t talk about the content of this beta, but all the guys who are waiting for the beta and have Splinter Cell will have the beta for sure."

However, when asked whether the beta might turn out to be a timed-exclusive for Splinter Cell: Conviction owners rather than an exclusive altogether, Khater said:

"It’s still under discussion. Maybe. These are things that we are discussing. Absolutely."
So, even if you haven’t picked yourself up a copy of Conviction, you may still be able to get in on the beta – if you’re prepared to wait even longer.
