If you pay a visit to the Call of Duty Instagram account (or click through the break below), you'll find a short teaser (http://instagram.com/p/mDb8yxSp0q/) clip that bears all the familiar hallmarks of the extraterrestrial hunter first made famous in the 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger action classic Predator. The vignette depicts a humid jungle, a crashed helicopter and the familiar staccato clicking of that film's titular creature. Though we're never given a good look at The Predator, the clip ends with a visually distorted, nigh-invisible creature rushing toward the camera.
While the inclusion of a classic cinematic monster might have seemed odd a few months ago, Call of Duty: Ghosts has been gradually moving away from strict realism and into the realm of pure entertainment spectacle. TheOnslaught (http://www.joystiq.com/2014/01/27/tour-the-new-maps-in-call-of-duty-ghosts-onslaught-dlc/) DLC pack, which debuted in January, brought horror icon Michael Myers to the shooter, while the game's ongoing Extinction (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/10/28/alien-hordes-join-the-fight-in-cod-ghosts-extinction-mode/) DLC storyline pits human soldiers against hordes of aliens in the wastes of rural Alaska.
