Call of Duty: Ghosts

"Everyone was expecting us to make Modern Warfare 4, which would have been the safe thing to do. But we’re not resting on our laurels. We saw the console transition as the perfect opportunity to start a new chapter for Call of Duty. So we’re building a new sub-brand, a new engine, and a lot of new ideas and experiences for our players. We can’t wait to share them with our community."

- Mark Rubin "We've always had the power. Not anymore. All we have is each other. We're Ghosts, fighting for something that can't be killed."

- Unknown Ghosts soldier in the Reveal Trailer Call of Duty: Ghosts (also known as Call of Duty 10) is the tenth main Call of Duty game. It is being developed by Infinity Ward, Neversoft and Raven Software. Confirming that a Call of Duty game was in development on February 7, 2013 and was officially revealed on May 21, 2013 via a Reveal Trailer during the Xbox One reveal. Set to occur ten years after a devastating mass event, the United States of America is no longer a superpower, with its economy and government in ashes. The remainder of the nation's Special Operations forces, the Ghosts, fight a newly emerged technologically-superior global power not for freedom, or liberty, but simply to survive.

Players are able to peek around cover while still being able to fire, automatically mantle objects, and customize their character. Finally, it was stated that players will be able to activate environmental hazards, rather than the hazards automatically activating without player interference. It will also allow players to do some hidden sub-missions which will result in new twists in the campaign storyline.

Mark Rubin also mentioned in his interview with IGN that they have reduced the latency of the controllers which will result in quick movements.

Multiplayer
As confirmed in the Behind the Scenes video released by Call of Duty, the multiplayer in Call of Duty: Ghosts will be unlike that in any previous Call of Duty to date. The developers have confirmed character customization, dynamic maps, and many new players movements such as sliding, leaning around corners, and better interaction with the environment. Mark Rubin said that there will not be a "lean button", like it was in previous games, but instead, approaching the wall, looking at the edge of wall and aiming down the sights will lean the player out.
