Nov 5, 2013PC version is a joke
Graphics are poor, Gun sounds are poor
Black Ops 2 is much better!
Game pauses & stutters even on I7 6 core with 3 GTX 680s & 12GB Ram! -

Nov 6, 2013I wish I could give a better score, but since I've been locked away from the multiplayer due to not meeting the RAM specifications, even though my pc can run it smoothly, I think a game that makes me throw away my money is a game that doesn't deserve much.

Nov 8, 2013BO2 was my first attempt in the COD series, and I loved every minute of it. Fast forward a year later, and I'm dying to play Ghosts. Due to money and time issues, I chose Ghosts over BF4 and GTA. What a huge mistake. Really disappointing. Mouse sensitivity issues, game crashes, in-game sounds not balanced etc. Last COD i will ever play.

Nov 9, 2013We were promised dedicated servers, instead we got peer to peer this seems nothing more than MW3 with a pretty wrapper over it. And by the 4th day, the same hackers who were around in MW3 are back, standing in the middle of the map getting head-shot after head-shot, with scores like 38 for 0 and there is nothing anyone can do about it. Hackers and lag. This game is intrinsically broken.
-
Nov 12, 2013Sure the action is there with cliche moments and more explosions than the all Hollywood actions movie ever made combined, but we have seen it before.
A step back and could easily be a DLC instead of a independent game. -

Nov 12, 2013This game is horrible.You need 6GB RAM over 30GB hard disk and DirectX11 cards and other things.Bad multiplayer,bad singleplayer. infinity ward CoD=SSDF(Same Different Year)

Nov 15, 2013The game does a great job!... of doing the same thing with the Cod 4 engine that IW did with the other CoD games. Disgustingly bad singleplayer paired with poor graphics and too much of an emphasis on multiplayer make this game an obvious miss for those looking for a truly good time.
-
Nov 15, 2013If anyone waited for this game to be the "last chance" they held on too long and cant be taken seriously. Expected release from CoD for any objective gamer. Expected meaning it is terrible.

Nov 23, 2013God awful PC port. Multi-player is nothing new. Single-player is the same OVER-THE-TOP story. If the this is Call of Duty's ''Next Gen'' game, then Battlefield has nothing to worry about. Don't waste your time with this game, especially the PC version.

Jan 6, 2014This game is a clone to all the other modern warfare games. The PC version is practically unplayable due to the amount of bugs and almost non existent optimisation. The singleplayer story made me question humanity as a species because of how stupid it is. Dont buy this game unless you want to torture somebody.

Jan 21, 2014This game is BOLLOCKS...
Buy it to show non gamers how bad this **** can get, then get em' FEZ or something.
The one reason I'm giving it more than 0 is the alien mode, witch is not so much super fun as a break from badly textured zombies. -

Feb 20, 2014Dont listen to IGN or any other **** reviewer's, They were bribed into giving it good scores. Call of duty is not only a step back in CoD, (a **** franchise) but is infact a step-back in gaming itself. Alongside other CoD games. Heres the decision: Get yourself a DOS PC and a copy of Doom, or buy a peice of **** shoved in a box called "Call of duty". **** THIS GAME

Mar 12, 2014Positively the last CoD game I will buy. What a waste. There is nothing new here since Black Ops 2 disappointed me. I still go back to the original Black ops as the pick of the litter.
-
Apr 12, 2014The story is intriguing but ends on a terrible cliffhanger,the multiplayer is broken and how people can view this as better than Halo or Battlefield is beyond reason.The only reason Activision continues this series is that its an annual source of money.Dont buy it,consider other games like this.
-
Apr 16, 2014Main Problem: Maps are not as fun; too big and no UAV's
Story was never as good as the black ops ones
No options for buying indavidual maps for extinction instead of all the other useless maps
Overpriced Weapon, Camos and character DLCs
Michael Myers and Predator? What next? David Hasselhoff?
Overall rating: 2/10 because you can slide and there are explosions in one of the levels -

Jun 17, 2016CoD, a franchise wich bocomes more bad after every year, always the same with a few "new" things wich make everything worse. JUST DON'T BUY IT OR THE SEQUEL!
-
Mar 7, 2015This game is a copy & past of previous CoD's
Nothing new respect the previous titles. The dog (which supposed to be something new) appear just few times and is not relevant character at all.
Need super good PC in order to play with medium graphics settings.
I do not recommend this game. -
Aug 15, 2018Just a watered down re-skin of MW3 with a godawful story and a stale multiplayer mode. Don't waste your time on this one.
-
Nov 6, 2013Graphically weak, with a short and predictable campaign.
The multiplayer part is completely ruined by the so called lag compensation, which shall make you lag in every "server" (btw, there are NO dedicated servers), even if you have a top-notch connection.
This games sucks, and does it very badly -

Nov 10, 2013After cod 4 this series has been getting worst with every release, they want to force the console limitations on the PC, no dedicated servers, no mod tools, they should cancel this for pc.

Nov 13, 2013Amazingly, the Call of Duty devs have managed to take one step backwards yet again. It's a repetitive, rehashed, recycled, badly written, downright ugly piece of work that is a laughable excuse for it's self-proclaimed "next generation" video game title.
-
Nov 10, 2013A total disaster. Poorly made. Its the worst of the all COD parts. Game stutters all the way (even after patch). Its totally unplayable. They said there will be dedicated servers, and they lied to us (host system is the same as in MW2 and MW3). Don't buy it its a waste of money.

Nov 5, 2013Please remember: Black Ops and Ghosts are made by different companies! Its correct to compare Ghosts to Modern Warfare series, while Black Ops were made by same company as World at War and some previous CODs. This game may have all the bugs and sad things that MW2/3 had as its made by same people, same company, and often same mistakes were made (which makes the game so damn terrible).

Nov 8, 2013So disappointing!!! Poor graphics, arcade gameplay. Bad storyline and you´ll finish it within 5-6 hours.
Multiplayer is as everytime very bad. I just can´t tell you who Cod Ghosts needs almost 35 GB Hard Disc Space, it looks like a game from 2009. I´m so disappointed. -

Nov 15, 2013This game may appeal to Call Of Duty fans who will play any game with that title, but will baffle people who know a good game when they see it. A big step down from Black Ops II.

Nov 5, 2013Its the first CoD that i waste My money and time, even that dog wont save it... And multi is all the same that i saw from older titles, customization wont help. I think Im gonna buy BF4...
-
Feb 27, 2014Multiplayer is very laggy, the game just feels badly coded a big disappointment. I waited for the updates and I truly think they made the game even more unplayable. Playing from Asia (Hong Kong) where I now stay is impossible even with the most badass internet connection the game is just to dam laggy and for $59 you know I'm pretty pissed.

Nov 5, 2013They have removed search and destroy from the public lobbies and replaced it with some lame dog tag variant. Original search and destroy is now ONLY avaliable in private matches! I now have no reason to play this game.

Nov 5, 2013I'm a competitive player and cod ghosts is a horrible disaster.
the net code is broken: death is very quick compared to killcam,
weapons' damage way too high,
leveling up way too slow,
Maps way too big and does not follow traditional 3 lanes,
and of course all the PC bugs and errors including freezes and crashes,
SLI results in attachment and environment flashes etc
DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!! -
Nov 7, 2013This game is terrible, Bad host connections, terrible FPS even with mid to high end computer, the ram required is 6gb while the game only uses 2gb. Maps suck, lowering graphics makes it look terrible, bad spawns. This game needs an update.
-
Jun 8, 2014Buy this game, it's like paying cheaters online.Horrable graphics,music,gameplay,characters."Absolutely new game experience"?.F^&u you,activision and Infinity ward!
-
Nov 6, 2013No improved graphics. The multiplayer recycled in 99%, as we expected. Recycling did happen even to singleplayer, it's kind of interesting though. Still sucks.

Nov 18, 2013What is this trash? It would be considered dead. Oh wait it is dead. It's called ghosts after all. A shadow of it's former self. The only thing improved in this game over the others is the knifing.

Story 5/10
Gameplay 3/10
Copy & Paste 9/10
PR 100/10
Total 0/10
Not to relax
It is especially sad looks copy&paste "The Dark Knight Rises". It is a failure for the series.
And Activision were going to break the record of GTA 5 LOL LOL LOL -

Jan 2, 2014Ghosts can probably be described as an full step back from Black Ops II and that's putting it lightly. There is no reason to delve into the specifics as most of the other users have already explained it all. This simply is a disappointing and nearly unplayable game.....

Nov 5, 2013disappointment of year! is absent sound settings,
only a loudness scale in the game, sounds very silent but the announcer it is audible very loudly
the mouse can't be adjusted forcibly there is an acceleration and a curve, game is constructed on detection of the opponent by a radar. -

Nov 5, 2013What a fail of EPIC proportions. Tried to play this game, got a sudden warning I needed to get more RAM! Not only did I have to buy a new laptop for this, it wasn't fun in the slightest (no new improvements on previous entries in the series, all the same old stale run and shoot gameplay) and the game didn't even end up utilizing the full 8GB I have now. What's the deal with that?
-
Nov 5, 2013GHOSTS ON PC...My God.. Why did i even bother. This game Runs like BF4 on BETA i have a 560Ti 6GBS Ram. and a i7860 at lease if u run extra quality please don't make me freeze mid map. Im not even using that much power and i doubt that playclaw's overlay is lying. I got this game for free on PC. Audio is Bad. Graphics are not that Impressive and netcode #GGNORE

Nov 5, 2013The game looks disgusting, the texture of poor quality, lack of physics (the windows in the houses do not fight, pieces of walls are not crumbling when entering or explosive grenades, and so on), some models are obviously deprived of polygons, the effects look faded, and the game slows down no optimization. System requirements are not comparable to the quality of the game.
-
Nov 5, 2013Call of duty did it again:
Releasing the same game which naive people will buy again.
It is a very disappointing game if you played the series for a long time.
It has almost no innovation at all. The highly praised by the marketing team next gen engine is just a bit prettier than MW3. Single player is decent, but only if you don't get tired of linear map design. -

Nov 5, 2013This game offered NOTHING. Terrible performance! Some People are getting 40 FPS on a GTX TITAN! This is a step back from Black Ops 2. Black Ops 2 even had better graphics. This game makes me feel literally SICK, there is no field of view slider at all. My head literally hurts when I play this pathetic excuse of a game. There is no reason to waste your time or money on this game. DO NOT BUY.
