LOS ANGELES — Activision Blizzard promised that Call of Duty: Ghosts would be a big leap forward in next-generation gaming, and it’s hoping to prove that today with the unveiling of the game’s multiplayer combat mode.

We are live at the unveiling at the sprawling L.A. Live theater in downtown Los Angeles.
