Sydney, Australia \u2013 July 2, 2013 \u2013 The franchise that has defined a generation of gaming, and the one set to raise the bar yet again this November 5, is delivering a compelling, all-new pre-order incentive for Call of Duty: Ghosts\u2019 <\/i><\/b>highly anticipated multiplayer mode.\u00a0 Fans around the world that pre-order the game at participating retailers will receive the Free Fall<\/i> downloadable bonus map that features the new dynamic map event mechanic, included with their copy of the game at launch.\u00a0 Free Fall<\/i> ushers in the first details on how players will encounter the changing environments in the leading multiplayer experience on consoles.<\/p>\n
As an example of just one of Call of Duty: Ghosts\u2019<\/i><\/b> new dynamic map events, Free Fall<\/i>\u00a0drops players into a shattered skyscraper on the brink of collapse. Sideways staircases climb into the night sky, elevator shafts run along the ground,\u00a0and\u00a0what were once\u00a0windows now\u00a0form a\u00a0terrifying glass floor, hundreds of feet above the city streets. \u00a0Free Fall\u2019s<\/i> close-quarters combat and frenetic action are then thrown into overdrive as the ruined skyscraper continues to fall throughout the match. With every drop, the accompanying shockwaves cause further destruction, disrupting sightlines and constantly evolving paths and chokepoints as the map changes in real-time.<\/p>\n
“Dynamic map events change the way players approach the game, and Free Fall <\/i>does a great job illustrating this new mechanic,\u201d said Mark Rubin, executive producer at Infinity Ward. \u201cAs the match progresses, the geometry of the world continues to change and players need to adjust on the fly or else.\u00a0 It\u2019s a really fun new feature that adds layers of strategy and constantly evolving gameplay options for players.\u00a0 And this is just one of the many new approaches we\u2019re putting into Ghosts\u2019<\/i><\/b> multiplayer across the board.\u00a0 There\u2019s so much more that we look forward to sharing in the weeks to come.”<\/p>\n
