Onslaught kicks off the first downloadable content for Call of Duty Ghosts. Unlike previous downloadable content, Onslaught provides one of the most creative and varied DLC offerings the series has seen for quite some time.
Skewed and Reviewed have posted a review for the first DLC content for Call of Duty:Ghosts. They praise the new maps as well as the fun and creative gameplay they offer as well as thew new weapons and Extinction episodes.
They say that while issues remain with the game, Onslaught at least restores the missing fun in the online play.
Was this translated through Google Translate? I could barely get through a paragraph without seeing multiple spelling errors.
I saw two minor ones and a grammar agreement but they have been fixed. Not that big a deal I see worse every day on CNN.
No problem, It was written on a laptop that does not have Office an the spell check at times misses some but thankfully you saw it as well while we were proofing.
I really don't like the new maps.
What I do want is to be able to buy that triangular reticule you can only get via clans. I have no interest in clans but some of those reticules and stuff look cool.
What did you not like about them? I am just curious as for me, the new ones were better than many it shipped with and not so much a redress of old maps which can be common in the DLC.
I love the charm of Bayview as it is a run and gun dream and lots of character in the map as well as fun. Fog was a pain at first as it was all campers but once I got used to it, I have done better, and the Myers twist is fun.
Ignition is pure carnage when you get going, and the other does allow some great close quarters battles if you get them right. You can get 2-3 enemies bunched in some areas and if you get the drop on them, kill streak rewards fly. I called in a mortar strike the other day after a rewards crate. Loved it, 8 gone in one salvo.
"Activision’s blockbuster FPS franchise is back again with its latest addition to Call of Duty: Ghosts. The Onslaught map pack starts the season with an addition of four multiplayer maps, one extinction map, and a new hybrid assault/sniper rifle. Subject to the usual timed exclusivity on Xbox platforms, Onslaught was released January 28th for Xbox systems and February 27th for both PlayStation and PC platforms."

From GamesReviews:
"Infinity Ward have fixed a lot of the issues that plagued Ghosts at launch, but there’s one thing they can’t fix: the size and shape of the original multiplayer maps. They’re too big, with too much going on. In trying to combat camping (by creating a “always open” feel wherever you go), they’ve made it ten times worse. That’s why it’s fantastic news that Onslaught – the new DLC pack, available on Sony platforms since last Friday – has smaller, tighter maps to explore. Does this solve the problems left in the poor design of the base levels, or does it just open up a whole new can of worms?"
