Open up the wallets, because Call of Duty: Ghosts will have some brand new DLC packs by this time tomorrow. Thanks to a post on Activision's One of Swords blog, we've learned all about a number of customizations and personalization packs that will be available exclusively on Xbox platforms. Let's dive right in, shall we?
First, there's a number of personalization packs, each of which feature a respective theme (Ducky, Circuit, and Inferno) for the reticle, player patch, card, and background. Each pack will cost $1.99. You can see each below:
Customizations are nice and all, but maybe you wanted something a little less silly than a gun slathered in a tub time companion. For that, Infinity Ward is also offering characters from Ghosts' story mode for the multiplayer mode: Merrick, Hesh, Elias, and Keegan. Like the personalization packs, they'll also cost $1.99 each.
Not enough yet? Well, what about one of the legends of the Call of Duty franchise? Like say a British SAS operative with a very distinctive mustache who put an end to the mastermind of World War III? Yep, standout from three of the four Modern Warfare titles, Captain Price is making a triumphant return...kind of. Infinity Ward is offering another personalization pack for the legendary soldier that offers a player patch with the Captain's infamous stogie, player card, mustache reticle, player background, and weapon camo with Price's face doodled all over it. Gamers can grab the pack tomorrow for $3.99.
While all of this DLC is exclusive to Xbox platforms, it won't always be that way. The One of Swords post assured fans that much like the map packs, the personalizations packs would arrive for other platforms soon.
Call of Duty: Ghosts takes place in a near future following an attack from space that leaves Los Angeles virtually wiped out, and the United States' infrastructure devastated. Years later, the country is invaded by a new superpower, a conglomerate of South American nations calling itself the "Federation." What's left of America's special forces have come together to form the titular "Ghosts," and it's up to them to wage guerrilla warfare against the Federation in order to protect what remains of the United States, and drive the Federation out.
Beyond the campaign, the game's multiplayer mode, which promises a slew of different customization options for weapons, character camos, and more. Over 30 new weapons are included alongside old favorites like the UMP45 and the M4A1.
Despite not the best reviews ever for a Call of Duty game, Ghosts was a hit right out of the gate, and it looks like it'll be continuing on that path for the forseeable future.
