On October 3, a new multiplayer type was revealed, called Squads. The sniper rifle scopes also have new "dual render technology" allowing the player to see around the outside of the scope (although blurred) when zoomed in.

The player can get the ODIN kill streak by either getting a certain amount of kills or by killing the top player on the other team and then completing various challenges after picking up a blue briefcase that is dropped. There is a nuke-like kill streak reward, the KEM Strike.

Maps now have areas that can be altered or destroyed.

The multiplayer mode in Call of Duty: Ghosts features changes from previous Call of Duty games as some new mechanics have been added to it. In Call of Duty: Ghosts, the story is mostly told through the eyes of Logan Walker, with several other playable characters, including an astronaut specialist named Baker Sergeant Thompson Elias Walker, member of Icarus and Logan's father and the newer option to play as a German Shepherd, Riley, the first non-human playable character in the franchise. Gameplay A playable German Shepherd named Riley, who is part of the player's squad Campaign Ghosts received generally mixed reviews from critics, with most praising its multiplayer gameplay and for the introduction of Extinction, but criticizing it for its single-player campaign, rehashing of familiar concepts, and general lack of innovation. The science fiction elements of the game's campaign and setting would go on to be further explored in Advanced Warfare and Infinite Warfare. Ghosts also features an alternative co-operative shooter mode titled Extinction, acting as a spiritual successor to the Zombies co-operative PvE gamemodes introduced to the franchise in Call of Duty: World at War. Ghosts inherits much of the core gameplay and structure of previous titles, with a mission-based campaign and an open-ended multiplayer, but introduces a near-future setting to the series as well as an increased focus on tactical gameplay, including the addition of new "Squads" modes and orbital strike superweapons to the multiplayer. The game acts as a standalone installment in the wider Call of Duty franchise in lieu of the World War II, Black Ops and Modern Warfare series that preceded it. The game was released with the launch of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. It was released for PlayStation 3, Wii U, Windows, and Xbox 360, on November 5, 2013. It is the tenth major installment in the Call of Duty series and the sixth developed by Infinity Ward. Call of Duty: Ghosts is a 2013 first-person shooter video game developed by Infinity Ward and published by Activision.
