Call of Duty: Ghosts Devastation content headlines with four thrilling, small to
medium multiplayer maps with the fast-paced experience Call of Duty fans love:
* Set in a multi-level Mayan temple, “Ruins” provides the verticality needed for
long-range weapons, while the underground pathways below are perfect for
close-quarters
showdowns. Skilled players that find and complete the map’s unique Field Order will
have the ability to become one of Hollywood’s most formidable action film stars
and the galaxy’s ultimate hunter, the deadly Predator. As the Predator, players
will brandish its dual wrist blades and shoulder-mounted plasma cannon, as well
as be able to utilize the creature’s keen hunting abilities to track down enemy
players.
* “Collision” takes place in the mangled remains of a cargo ship that’s crashed
into a New York City bridge. The map’s tight corridors – made-up of burnt-out vehicles
and demolished shipping containers – create a space perfect for run-and-gun players.
Players that dominate “Collision” and complete the map’s specific Field Order will
be able take control of a heavily armed aircraft and rain down destruction from
above.
* “Behemoth” drops players atop a massive excavation platform in South America.
The map’s long sight lines are ideal for long-range weapons, while the confined
interiors of the platform’s control rooms make for intense SMG and Shotgun encounters.
Completing “Behemoth’s” Field Order will allow players to control an attack helicopter
armed with a deadly, armor-piercing mini-gun as it circles the excavator searching
for enemy combatants.
* “Unearthed” is a reimagined version of the fan-favorite map “Dome” from Call of
Duty®: Modern Warfare® 3. “Unearthed” is full of new secrets and Cryptid artifacts
for players to discover in this compact, versatile map, great for all play types.
Unlock the map’s Field Order and unleash the power of the Cryptids, with three “Seeder”
aliens chasing down and inflicting heavy damage on enemy combatants.
Call of Duty: Ghosts Devastation also brings fans “Episode 2: Mayday” – the next
chapter in the ongoing episodic Extinction story. In the aftermath of the events
at the Nightfall Program facility in the Alaskan wilderness, the Quick Reaction
Force boards a mysteriously abandoned Chinese research vessel adrift in the South
Pacific Ocean. Armed with multiple, mod-able versions of the Venom-X weapons that
harness the power of Cryptid technology, players will pursue Captain Archer in an
attempt to uncover what’s become of Dr. Cross, all while battling against a new
Cryptid enemy called the “Seeder”, and culminating with players facing-off against
a massive, 400-foot tall Cryptid beast from the deep – the “Kraken.”
Devastation also arms players with the tactical 2-in-1 “Ripper,” a new hybrid
SMG/Assault
Rifle, and a formidable addition to Ghosts’ weapons cache. The “Ripper” is the perfect
complement to Devastation’s new multiplayer maps, providing players two different
configurations – medium to short-range capability as an SMG, and medium to long-range
as an Assault Rifle. The “Ripper” is a one-of-a-kind weapon in Call of Duty, having
the unique ability to convert from SMG to Assault Rifle and back again on-the-fly
in the midst of battle, giving players unprecedented flexibility to adjust to a
variety of map types and tactics.
