As promised by Activision earlier this month, Call of Duty: Ghosts gamers on the PS3, PS4 and PC can now download the highly regarded Onslaught DLC today. Xbox 360 and Xbox One gamers have had their hands on it for a month thanks to Microsoft's exclusivity deal but that's not to say it wasn't worth the wait. After all, don't you want to play the game as Michael Myers from "Halloween"?
Here's the official list of the four maps included:
- Fog: Set alongside the banks of a murky lake, players skilled enough to pick up the map's unique Field Order can become the embodiment of evil and don the mask of Michael Myers, one of cinema's most iconic horror characters, in this chilling homage to classic horror films.
-BayView: A coastal Californian boardwalk that offers players fast-paced run-and-gun gameplay amid a seaside town. Clever players will be able to climb onto the map's moving trolley to engage enemies, as well as call in devastating artillery strikes from the Naval Destroyer anchored offshore.
-Containment: This map drops players into a raging battle amidst a war-torn Mexican village, where the action centers on the crippled remains of a small bridge holding a hi-jacked truck leaking radioactive material.
-Ignition: Is a reimagined version of "Scrapyard" - the fan-favorite multiplayer map from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, placing players into a deserted space launch facility with frenetic action amongst abandoned warehouses, flame trenches, a massive transport crawler, and dynamic map elements that can take players out if they're not paying close attention.
Besides those new locations for multiplayer mayhem, Onslaught includes "Episode 1: Nightfall", the first of the Extinction narrative campaign. This is the first of a planned four parts (across four DLC packs) that have you fighting off Aliens, in this case going to a remote research facility in the Alaskan wilderness to find out what happened to a facility that's gone dark. You'll find new characters, a new alien weapon (the Venom-X), and two alien species known as the Cryptids.
Onslaught can be purchased by itself for $14.00 or as part of the $49.99 Call of Duty: Ghosts DLC Season Pass. That pass will get you all four "Epic DLC Packs" but also instant access to an exclusive multiplayer map called Free Fall and a Team Leader Digital Pack, which comes with a unique multiplayer character head, weapon camo, reticle, player patch, player card and player background.
