“Devastation is another incredible offering for fans to
sink their teeth into,” said Daniel Suarez, Vice President of
Production, Activision Publishing, Inc. “With an array of new maps
tuned for the fast-paced, run-and-gun action Call of Duty is best
known for, new weapons in both multiplayer and Extinction mode, the
next chilling entry in the game’s Extinction story, and now the
Predator – Devastation continues the unparalleled season of
Call of Duty: Ghosts post-launch content.”
“Activision and Infinity Ward have done a tremendous job in
bringing the Predator to life within Call of Duty: Ghosts,”
said Mike Doyle, Head of Fox Interactive Games. “The
Devastation DLC Pack was a perfect opportunity to pair two
incredibly iconic and complementary brands – Call of Duty and
Predator, and we’re extremely pleased with the explosive
result.”
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.
