Call of Duty: Ghosts | Xbox One

About the Game

Call of Duty: Ghosts is a single-player and multiplayer first-person shooter game. The campaign is set in an alternate near-future timeline in which a powerful alliance of South American nations known as the Federation has risen to global dominance following the collapse of the world’s economy.

Story & Setting

The campaign alternates between different playable characters, offering varied perspectives and mission types.

Gameplay & Core Systems

The United States, once a superpower, has been devastated by orbital strikes that leveled major cities and crippled its infrastructure. Players primarily experience the conflict through the perspective of Logan Walker, a soldier fighting alongside his brother Hesh and their father Elias, a commander of the elite “Ghosts” unit. The Ghosts specialize in stealth, sabotage, and infiltration, and their mission focuses on tracking down Rorke, a former Ghost who has been captured and turned into a weapon against his former comrades. At its core, the gameplay follows the traditional Call of Duty formula of tightly scripted missions, combining on-foot combat, vehicle sequences, and large-scale engagements. Players engage in fast-paced shooting, breach-and-clear operations, underwater stealth sections, and high-altitude combat.

Modes & Ways to Play

Weapons range from modern ballistic firearms to experimental devices, with customizable attachments and equipment. Multiplayer is a major component, expanding the series’ competitive framework with new systems and modes. Standard modes like Team Deathmatch, Domination, and Search and Destroy are joined by new ones, including Blitz, where players score by reaching teleport portals in the enemy base, and Cranked, which rewards speed and aggression by giving temporary power-ups after each kill. Progression in multiplayer revolves around earning squad points to unlock weapons and abilities.

Presentation & Atmosphere

Dynamic maps introduce environmental changes such as collapsible structures and triggered events that alter the layout mid-match.
