first-person shooter video game developed by
Infinity Ward and published by
Activision. It is the tenth major installment in the
Call of Duty series and the sixth developed by Infinity Ward. It was released for
PlayStation 3,
Wii U,
Windows, and
Xbox 360, on November 5, 2013. The game was released with the launch of the
PlayStation 4 and
Xbox One.
In Call of Duty: Ghosts, the story is mostly told through the eyes of
Logan Walker, with several other playable characters, including an
astronaut specialist named Baker; Sergeant Thompson; Elias Walker,
member of Icarus and Logan's father; and the newer option to play as a
German Shepherd, Riley, the first non-human playable character in the
franchise. The multiplayer mode in Call of Duty: Ghosts features changes
from previous Call of Duty games as some new mechanics have been added
to it. Maps now have areas that can be altered or destroyed. There is a
nuke-like kill streak reward, the KEM Strike. The player can get the
ODIN kill streak by either getting a certain amount of kills or by
killing the top player on the other team and then completing various
challenges after picking up a blue briefcase that is dropped. The sniper
rifle scopes also have new "dual render technology" allowing the player
to see around the outside of the scope (although blurred) when zoomed
in. On October 3, a new multiplayer type was revealed, called Squads.
This features a squad that the player can build and the player can face
other squads around the world. The player's squad can be leveled up and
will act like a true individual. "Octane", "Prison Break", "Tremor",
"Freight", "Stormfront", "Siege", "Warhawk", "Sovereign", "Overlord",
"Flooded", "Strikezone", "Whiteout", "Stonehaven" and "Chasm" are the
maps that are in Call of Duty: Ghosts so far. The dynamic map, "Free
Fall", was a pre-order bonus. The game now features playable female
soldiers.
