Good news for shooter fans, because as of today, Call of Duty: Ghosts' Onslaught DLC, is free to try for the weekend on Xbox Live, so whether you game on the Xbox One or 360, you're good to go. But enjoy it while you can, the offer's only good 'til Monday, March 24. A press release said the trial offer would eventually be available on other platforms, but an exact date was not mentioned.
The first DLC for Ghosts, Onslaught hit Xbox platforms first in late January, and arrived on PC and PlayStation systems at the end of February. You can see the DLC's announcement trailer here, and a recent live action trailer here.
It added four new maps for the game's multiplayer mode, each with its own unique "bonus" for completing field objectives:
* Fog - players assume the role of the iconic babysitter bloodletter, Michael Myers of "Halloween," complete with trademark music and axe
* Bayview - call in a naval artillery strike
* Containment - call in an airstrike to detonate a radioactive missile, destroying anyone in the immediate area
* Ignition (a remake of Scrapyard from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2) - activate a test engine that ignites and burns enemies in the area
The DLC also brought in in additions for the game's alien hunting Extinction mode, picking up where the last mission, "Point of Contact," left off. Check out a recent trailer for the new episode here. It also adds in two new alien types:
- the "Phantom," capable of turning invisible mid-leap.
- the "Breeder," an enormous boss creature
You can get a closer look at the DLC's maps and alien newcomers here.
Lastly, and perhaps what a lot of gamers will enjoy most, the DLC adds in a new weapon, the two-in-one Maverick rifle, which can function as either an assault or sniper rifle. Have a closer look at it here.
