Get CODNapped with Call of Duty: Ghosts DLC

Over the last few years, Call of Duty fans have come to expect exciting downloadable content offerings post launch to continue the thrill ride. Onslaught, the first downloadable content pack for Call of Duty: Ghosts, continues the Ghosts multiplayer experience with new maps, new content & new narratives. 

Like a new game launch, DLC is worth putting your daily errands, chores & more on hold to experience, and it has become an anticipated moment in its own right. Activision teamed up with 72andSunny to create  “CODNapped”,  this year’s live action film + gameplay tease campaign built to narrate Call of Duty fans through this year’s DLC release.  In the film, the CODNapper, played by actor Stephen Graham of Boardwalk Empire, steals you away from your daily life and inserts you into a gamer’s paradise.
