Onslaught debuts as first Call of Duty: Ghosts DLC

The first of four Downloadable Content Pack offerings for Call of Duty: Ghosts is titled Onslaught and will be released this month, Activision has announced.

Set to launch on January 28th first exclusively on Xbox LIVE for both Xbox One and the Xbox 360 games, Onslaught debuts four multiplayer maps. The first map, Fog, is a medium sized map set alongside the banks of a murky lake. Next is BayView, a close-quarters map set on a coastal Californian boardwalk packed with seaside gift stores and an aquarium, offering players fast-paced run-and-gun matches.

The third map Containment, transports players to a war-torn Mexican village, where the battle rages along both banks of the dried out riverbed. Finally, Ignition offers action both above and below ground amongst abandoned warehouses, flame trenches, and a massive transport crawler.

Onslaught also arms players with the "Maverick," a dual-purpose Assault Rifle or Sniper Rifle that players can choose how to use depending on their tactical needs - a first for Call of Duty.

Finally, the DLC debuts the first installment in Extinction mode's four-part episodic narrative, "Episode 1: Nightfall." It introduces a narrative driven by two new characters, and features two new alien species and an exclusive weapon.

Call of Duty: Ghosts was released last November for PC, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Wii U, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation 4.
