“It's crazy that I'm at this exclusive event," said Anthony
Bennett, #1 overall draft pick of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Bennett
continued, "Playing the game with the new features and new maps
with the Marines has been very cool, and our team won both times so
it's been a great opportunity.”
Call of Duty: Ghosts delivers an all-new world, setting
and cast of characters, all powered by a new, next-generation
engine. For the first time, gamers play as the underdog, fighting
as part of a single squad against an enemy that has superior
numbers and firepower. The single player experience opens with an
unthinkable mass event. Weapons with immense force are released,
destroying most of America and reshaping the world as we know it.
As your home lies in ruins and everything around you is destroyed,
you and your brother come across the remnants of a group shrouded
in mystery, known only as the Ghosts. Together you not only must
defend what’s left, but take the fight to the enemy before they
finish the destruction and end our way of life.
Call of Duty: Ghosts multiplayer delivers an unparalleled
online experience, empowering fans with the greatest amount of
customization and access to create your soldier, in your world and
take wherever you go. Featuring thousands of possible character
combinations, game-changing dynamic map events, new tactical player
movements; 14 maps and seven new multiplayer modes out of the box,
a new Squads mode for up to six-player co-op play, and much, much
more, Call of Duty: Ghosts is the complete online experience
on both next-gen and current-gen alike.
