Call Of Duty Kidnaps Gamers From Their Friends And Family In A Cinematic New Commercial

A bunch of men get violently kidnapped in the new ad for an expansion to "Call of Duty: Ghosts." But whether they're being dragged by motorcycles or suspended from a helicopter, they all greet their captors with smiles.

The live-action commercial stars British actor Stephen Graham ("Boardwalk Empire") as the head of a "Call of Duty" syndicate. It stages kidnappings for bored men who cannot bear watching another reality show with their girlfriend or sitting through a fancy business dinner with their boss.

They are then taken to an undisclosed location where they can sit in a comfy chair and play COD to their heart's content. There's also snacks, and the kidnappers even accommodate those with peanut allergies:

72andSunny produced the ad, which is once again targeting COD players who are young professional men rather than hardcore gamers.

The "Onslaught" downloadable content package features new maps - including a foggy "Halloween"-themed one complete with homicidal Michael Myers - as well as new weapons and an Extinction mode where players fight an onslaught of aliens.

It's available for the Xbox One on Jan. 28 and other consoles shortly after.
