Activision announces the Xbox exclusivity for the
Havoc DLC for
Call of Duty:
Advanced Warfare ends in just over three weeks, which is presumably when stores
everywhere will have run through all the extra Xbox One systems the exclusive
will sell. The add-on will come to Windows, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 3 on
February 26th, offering new missions, new weapons, and new versions of the same
old zombies. Here's word:
Havoc, first DLC pack for Call of Duty®:
Advanced Warfare (2014's top-selling console video game in the world, according
to the NPD Group and Gfk based on physical game unit sell-through), is coming to
PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and PC on February 26. Packed to the brim with
content, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Havoc includes four new, epic
multiplayer maps, access to the versatile AE4 directed energy assault rifle, the
AE4 Widowmaker custom variant, plus an exciting all-new cooperative mode called
Exo Zombies.
Havoc's four new, exotic and diverse multiplayer maps are set around the globe
and are tailor-made for players to unleash their exoskeleton's abilities:
- Core: Deploy to the Gobi desert
where the ravaged ruins of a nuclear fusion plant set the stage for a
high-octane warzone. Take down enemies through the wreckage in long-range
combat or get up-close and personal in the tunnels surrounding the central
turbine. Activate decontamination drones using the map-based scorestreak to
help clean out the competition.
- Urban: Prepare yourself for brutal,
high-speed combat in Dallas Ward 3, a future mega structure, funneling
players into a close-quarters free-for-all. This modular compound's
verticality unleashes the exoskeleton's capabilities. Stay focused during
the timed event as blast doors alter the map's flow and sightlines.
- Sideshow: In the shadow of Devil's
Tower, Wyoming, this abandoned inn's open layout amplifies its creep factor.
Blast your way through the clown inn with close-quarters battles or use
long-range site-lines from the mining facilities and natural terrain. Use
the map-based scorestreak to activate the lights, music, and magic of the
clown marquee and rain down a barrage of rainbow smoke-trailed cannonballs.
- Drift: An idyllic ski resort high in
the Rocky Mountains is transformed into a festive high-altitude playground,
perfect for an all-out firefight. Make your way to the highly contested over
watch in the glass observation deck or take a ride on the carousel to
deliver 360 degrees of carnage. Players can use the map-altering timed event
to their advantage as an avalanche of snow and debris disorients players,
intensifying the battle.
