Announces Limited Edition Dog Tags to Benefit The Call of Duty™ Endowment
The next-generation of multiplayer gaming is here. Activision, developer Infinity Ward and Xbox today
gave fans worldwide a sneak peek into the all-new Call of Duty®: Ghosts
multiplayer, which delivers an unparalleled online experience, empowering fans
with the greatest amount of customization, new ways to play, and access ever
seen in franchise history. The new title features dynamic map events, new
tactical player movements, a visually stunning world, an arsenal of new
weapons, killstreaks, maps and game modes, and an all-new second screen
experience along with the ability to transport your profile across console generations
for the most complete gaming experience possible.
“Call
of Duty: Ghosts continues the tradition of unrivaled gameplay and
innovation that has made Call of Duty
one of the most engaging entertainment experiences in the world played by more
than 100 million fans,” said Activision Publishing, Inc.’s CEO, Eric
Hirshberg. “Call of Duty set the benchmark for the current gen and that’s
exactly what we’re aiming to do for the next generation.”
Call
of Duty: Ghosts’
customization includes the all-new Create-a-Soldier system, in which players can
customize their various weapon loadouts, plus, for the first time in the
series, the physical appearance of their soldier, delivering over 20,000 possible
combinations, including heads, body types, equipment, gender, and more.
The
customization in Call of Duty: Ghosts continues as players can not only
Create-a-Soldier, but also create an entire squad of up to 10 unique soldiers
which can be customized down to their appearance, perks, loadouts, and style of
play. In addition, each custom squad
member earns XP toward Prestige and can also be modified to specialize in
various combat classes and across multiple game modes, allowing more
flexibility and depth for gamers than ever before.
Players
of all skill levels can take their squad of soldiers into Call of Duty: Ghosts’
all-new third mode of play called Squads,
where they can enlist to play solo, cooperatively up to 6-players, or
competitively for one vs. one, head-on matches pitting players and their squads
against others and their squads. Squads features a variety of play-types,
allowing fans at any time to swap-out their custom A.I. soldiers with real friends
for quick-action co-op. The competition
can be fierce as squad soldiers display life-like, skilled tactics and
behaviors like side-strafing, corner-camping, jump-shooting and more. Players, plus their squads, will earn XP, and
if you’re offline, be prepared as your squad may get challenged for play without
you.
“This
is the biggest overhaul of multiplayer since the original Call of Duty: Modern Warfare,” said
Mark Rubin, Executive Producer, Infinity Ward.
“We’re pouring our hearts and souls into making Call of Duty: Ghosts
multiplayer the best it can be on next gen and current gen alike. With all the customization options, our new
Create-a-Soldier system, dynamic map events, new perks and killstreaks,
tactical player animations, new Squads mode, Clan support in-game and on second
screen, it’s the complete online experience.”
Callof Duty: Ghosts also features
the evolution of multiplayer maps through dynamic map events. Player-triggered traps and events allow
gamers to strategically redirect the course of battle, including the ability to
call-in a map-changing killstreak, which can completely transform or modify the
map delivering new levels of strategy and gameplay.
“Since its launch on
the Xbox 360, the Call of Duty series
has firmly established its home on the Xbox platform with the game’s largest
and most engaged community,” said Yusuf Mehdi, Corporate Vice President of
Marketing & Strategy, Interactive Entertainment Business at
Microsoft. “With the debut of Xbox One later this fall, we have no doubt
that our longtime partners, Activision and Infinity Ward will raise the bar
higher than ever before for this incredible franchise in Call of Duty: Ghosts and
look forward to add-on content again coming first, exclusively to Xbox.”
Players
can also now take Call of Duty: Ghosts anywhere, utilizing their Call of Duty account, already secured
through their registration to Call of
Duty® Elite, to carry their profile with them, including profile change
updates between Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from
Microsoft, and Xbox 360 games and entertainment system from Microsoft, or
PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and PlayStation®4 computer
entertainment system. Plus, this means that when players are ready to upgrade
their current gen console to the next gen version, (from Xbox 360 to Xbox One,
and from PlayStation 3 system to PlayStation 4 system), all their Call
of Duty: Ghosts stats, unlocks, and more will seamlessly go with them
and be ready and waiting. For players
who don’t yet have an account, they can simply sign-up for free in-game or on the
web.
The all-new Call of Duty® App gives players a second screen mobile and tablet experience
designed to work hand-in-hand with both current gen and next gen versions of Call
of Duty: Ghosts. Created by
Beachhead Studio in collaboration with Infinity Ward, the app offers the most
popular features from Call of Duty Elite
and also gives a new dimension to Call of Duty: Ghosts by allowing
fans to stay connected to the console experience wherever they go. With the Call
of Duty App, players will have the power to edit their entire squad
pre-match, and have one touch access to change loadouts for their next spawn while
in match, as well as view and share after-action results with friends on
Facebook and Twitter, and more. The new Call of Duty App is fully integrated with
Call
of Duty: Ghosts, and will launch alongside it this November on mobile
and tablet devices.
Call of Duty: Ghosts also features a deep
level of Clan support and in-game integration.
With their Call of Duty
account, players can join, create, and manage a Clan all from in-game or from
the Call of Duty App. From the game, players can enjoy in-game Clan
rewards, as well as Clan vs. Clan playlists, which are all available on both
current and next gen. Additional Clan
features in the app include Clan Chat, Rally-Up, and a Clan Emblem Editor.
The Call of Duty App also includes for Call
of Duty: Ghosts players Clan Wars, an all-encompassing, 24/7,
experience on the app that is tied directly to Call of Duty: Ghosts
multiplayer, connecting the game and second screen for a truly deep two-way
interaction. This brand new experience
enlists players into a larger conflict, where any Clan member, no matter what
skill level, can contribute to the Clan War mission and compete against other Clans
for additional XP and exclusive in-game content.
