And Here are Four More Screenshots of Call of Duty: Ghosts
Yes, Riley Call of Duty Dog is in one of them. What’s more, one is entitled “Federation Day Rappel,” (below) a curious little tease of the continuity surrounding the game’s campaign mode.

Peculiarly, one of the things that was highlighted during the Call of Duty: Ghosts presentation last week was fish AI that moves out of the way when you get close. And as SUPERMARIOGALAXY13 highlights here, fish doing that is not exactly a new innovation—or hell, even an exciting one. It’s nearly 20 years old! I’m…
