Players of the newly released 'Call of Duty: Shots' on Windows, PS3, Wii U and Xbox 360 will want to grab a copy of the Windows Phone 8 companion app. While you won't be able to play Ghosts on your smartphone, this app will keep you connected to the game world with news, tracking game progress, and set up your inventory for your next mission.

Taking the second screen concept, and giving a mobile screen a supporting role outside of the gaming action is a smart move, and it provides a way to extend the gamers engagement with the franchise. It should also provide useful to manage your 'clan' while you are not at your home console, to talk between the members, discuss strategies, and decide what to do next.

Here's the features list for the app listing:

• Compete in Call of Duty® Clan Wars
  Battle for territory against multiple Clans of similar skill, and earn exclusive in-game bonuses by dominating your opponents.
• Create or Join a Call of Duty®: Ghosts Clan
  Join, create and manage a Call of Duty: Ghosts Clan from the app. Communicate with Clan Members via the app’s Clan Chat feature to coordinate playtimes and gameplay strategies.
• Experience Call of Duty®: Ghosts On the Go
  Stay up to date with all the latest Call of Duty® news and events and track your career stats.

The companion app is a free download, and you can find it via the AAWP App Directory.
