Call of Duty: Ghosts (PS3)

Product Information

S. Navy pools all its remaining forces, including its last aircraft carrier USS Liberator, in a synchronized all-out assault. Hesh and Logan launch a missile to destroy the Federation space center in the Atacama Desert, while forces in U. The Ghosts assault Rorke's base and capture him, but Federation armed forces destroy their plane and rescue him. In addition to weapons scattered throughout the ship, players can access schematics to build powerful offensive and defensive weapons, including 4 variations of the Venom X from the previous chapter.

Joystiq disparaged both types of gameplay, saying "It layers a fresh coat of paint over a tired design document; a document that brings players down a rote campaign path before landing them in a multiplayer mode that abandons many of the creative advancements seen in Black Ops 2". It also includes two new multiplayer weapons: the Maverick assault rifle, and the Maverick A-2 sniper rifle; as well as "Nightfall", the first of the four Extinction episodic contents. The map also introduces two brand new weapons, the NX-1 Disruptor and the NX-1 Grenades, which are required in taking out the Ancestors. Some details about Ghosts leaked prior, especially when Tesco pulled the listing of the game for the PlayStation 3 after it was put up accidentally. The science fiction elements of the game's campaign and setting would go on to be further explored in Advanced Warfare and Infinite Warfare.

Activision announced that the game would be available for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in time for each console's release date on November 15, 2013, and November 22, 2013, respectively.

Blitz: This team-based game mode is similar to Capture the Flag in that the player needs to go to a portal located at the enemy's spawn point while preventing players from the enemy team from reaching theirs. Ghosts received generally mixed reviews from critics, with most praising its multiplayer gameplay and for the introduction of Extinction, but criticizing it for its single-player campaign, rehashing of familiar concepts, and general lack of innovation. The final map, "Exodus", which also acts as the final episode of Extinction, is released as part of the Nemesis DLC pack. The team then breaks into the factory and discovers that the Federation reverse-engineered ODIN into their own orbital bombardment system named LOKI. Rorke ( Kevin Gage), the former leader of the Ghosts who works for the Federation after being captured and brainwashed by the Federation via torture and hallucinogens.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. Despite being shot by Logan and left to drown, Rorke survives and captures Logan, wanting to brainwash him into becoming a Federation agent.

Due to a "configuration issue" however, the PlayStation 4 version still required a release day patch to reach 1080p. Squads can be utilized in unique gamemodes involving AI controlled enemies and AI controlled squad mates.Activision blamed the fall in demand on uncertainty caused by the upcoming transition to eighth generation consoles. Additional downloadable content includes Announcer Packs of Snoop Dogg and the Drill Instructor featuring R.

The third map pack, Invasion, was released on the Xbox 360 and Xbox One on June 3, 2014, and on PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and Windows, on July 3, 2014.During a mission into No Man's Land, they spot Federation agent Gabriel Rorke interrogating Ghost member Ajax. The second map, "Nightfall", is released as part of the Onslaught DLC pack, and is advertised as the first of the four episodic contents for Extinction. This latest edition is a solid shooter, with highly tuned mechanics, an addictive multiplayer offering, and a plethora of content to play through – but it very much feels like a familiar game with a few minor adjustments. The live-action teaser trailer for Ghosts, titled "Masked Warriors", features glimpses of people wearing historical battle masks, among them one of a group of soldiers putting on the skull mask shown on the box art.
