The latest edition of the wildly successful global franchise is set to launch Nov. 5. "Call of Duty: Ghosts" introduces a brand new storyline and cast of characters to the franchise, marking the first time that users will play as an underdog -- where the enemy is the super power.
"It's ... the first time you're playing with the same band of brothers from the beginning to the end of the game, which is going to provide a richer and more relevant storyline to the campaign," said Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision's publishing division, in an interview with CNNMoney.
Hirshberg said the latest Call of Duty game sports the best graphics, textures and atmospheres of the franchise. In keeping with the mainstream appeal of Call of Duty, the game's developer, Infinity Ward, has worked closely with Hollywood on the campaign's story. Stephen Gaghan, who wrote and directed Syriana, was called in to help with the storyline of Call of Duty: Ghosts.
