The new Call of Duty: Ghosts looks to pack an impressive next-gen tech punch.
The game is built on a brand new engine and will also be set in a new world populated by new characters. A dog is even set to star as an actual squad member. And yes, the dog was motion captured!
Furthermore, Activision has extended its agreement with Microsoft to release all DLC for the game exclusive on Xbox One for a limited period.
Obviously Activision was keen to point out the increased visual fidelity of the new game which boasts enhanced fluid dynamics, reactive smoke and even interactive animal AI – walk through a pond and the fish will swim out of the way.
Infinity Ward has also introduced a lean feature, as seen in many rival shooters, that allows players to peak out from behind cover.
Multiplayer has had a significant revamp too with the headline feature being the introduction of dynamic maps. Events such as earthquakes and floods will change the level as it progresses. Players will even have the chance to control some of these alterations.
Character customisation has also undergone a revamp, with players now able to alter the look of their fighters.
