14 DAY TRIAL // After showing off the reveal trailer for the multiplayer mode in Call of Duty: Ghosts, Activision has released an official description of the online experience and its various mechanics, from the Create-a-Soldier system, to the dynamic maps, or the second screen experience.
Call of Duty: Ghosts is out this November and developer Infinity Ward, alongside publisher Activision, have showcased plenty of details about the new first-person shooter.
These ranged from the all-new story, to the cooperative Squads mode, which was revealed earlier this month.
Now, the full-fledged competitive multiplayer mode has been presented to the world, via a special live stream online.
The actual details are now available, via an official statement, so check them out below.
"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."
These squads can be taken into the special Squads cooperative mode, and Activision is quite confident in the new experience and its long time appeal.
"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."
Last but not least, the dynamic maps events, such as in the special pre-order bonus level Free Fall, have also been detailed by the two companies.
"Call of 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."
The multiplayer in Call of Duty: Ghosts is set to receive a few more details at the upcoming Gamescom 2013 conference next week.
