For the past handful of years, the Call of Duty franchise has alternated their yearly game titles between developers Infinity Ward (Call of Duty, Call of Duty 2, Modern Warfare, Modern Warfare 2, Modern Warfare 3, Ghosts) and Treyarch (Call of Duty 3, World At War, Black Ops, Black Ops II).

Publisher Activision has decided to change this up now, switching to a three-year cycle. This will begin later this year with the first entry in the series developed by Sledgehammer Games. Adding a third developer will allow each of the three a third year to make the best game they can instead of the two years Treyarch—whose next game will be released in 2015—and Infinity Ward—whose next game will be released in 2016—have been working with.

With every new Call of Duty release, players can expect DLC map packs that offer plenty of new content to check out if you’re into online multiplayer.

With the first map pack DLC for Call of Duty: Ghosts, which is titled “Onslaught,” a little something special for horror movie fan players is in store. In one of the maps, dubbed “Fog,” a horror movie-like map was created, complete with cabins in the woods. Even better, if you pull off a field order, you will become none other than Michael Myers from the John Carpenter classic Halloween.

You can see what it looks like to play as Michael Myers below.
