    Mediocre graphics, stupid plot, short campaign. I am having a hard time thinking of the POSITIVE things to say about this game.

Infinity Ward should be removed as the developer of the next CoD game. Because there WILL be a next CoD game. At this point, for this franchise, money matters more than quality. And Ghosts seems to have made a of it.

    Too often the missions in the single player started with "shhhh... or something to that effect. The problem is that I did not purchase a stealth game. There are much better stealth franchises out there, if that is what I wanted to play. When we are inevitably discovered, it became a by-the-numbers run to the exit, or hatch, or helicopter, or tank... whichever.

    And by the way: these have to be the loudest 'ghosts' ever.

    Riley the gimmick (sorry, the dog) is an afterthought for the most part. As a matter of fact, there seem to be only two characters that you develop any kind of emotional response to and they are not Riley or the brothers.

    In an era that is producing games like Grand Theft Auto 5, Bioshock Infinite and FarCry 3, just to name a few, it IS possible to produce quality and sales in sequels. Activision seems to have given up on quality for this franchise if the evidence is the last two games they have thrown out: Black Ops II and Ghosts. Both are a case of slapping some explosions together, throwing in some Multiplayer maps and putting 'Call of Duty in front of whatever is this game's name and out the door it goes. Then they sit by the register and wait for us, the stupid people, to dish out the money for it. We do it, even though sometimes we are questioning if this one is going to be any good.

    The only reason I still play is because of the people I play with, but it may now be time to catch up on games I missed previously like Batman Origins or Splinter Cell Blacklist.

    If you work hard for your money, save some of it and pass on this turkey. Or, at the very least, wait for the first price drop. At the rate people are leaving the Multiplayer, you will not have to wait long.    … Expand

    All the controls and mechanics are there from previous versions of COD, but if you select any single mechanic I can list for you the COD game like that did it better and IW shows with Ghosts to have severely lost a step in the Multi-player experience (which, let's be honest, Treyarch has historically done better).

    This all being said I'll leave you with a final question: Is COD: Ghosts a bad game? Well, no. Not exactly. Get the stability issues resolved and it will be fine, which sums it up on the whole. Fine, and uninspired. Hardcore COD fans will feel a bit disappointed, and new COD players will not be as impressed like those of us who played COD:MW were.    … Expand

    PC games should be ported TO consoles. We are also getting screwed by CoD having 2 different companies release a different title every other year. The part that bothers me though is each company also has TWO YEARS to come up with a new game and that neither company has the balls to step up the game and come up with something DOPE that leaves the other company crying with it's ding dong tucked between its legs. More like Call of Doody. This CoD game is an utter disappointment, as usual.    … Expand

    In my opinion the one thing that kept me coming back to the Call of Duty series for the last couple years was that it was at least enjoyable.

Despite being of the opinion that MW2 and MW3 are virtually the same game, Black Ops 2 made a HUGE mistake by going futuristic, and feeling a little like an idiot for buying into the whole annual release thing I still found each game fun to play through (both online and in the campaign) and worth the expense.

    Sadly this is not the case with Ghosts.

    Call of Duty campaigns haven't been interesting or even somewhat well made since they left the World War Two setting (aside from Black Ops which I completely ADORED) but Ghosts falls much harder than even the masturbatory Michael Bay inspired 'oorah! 'MERICA!!!!" forays of the Modern Warfare series.

    Even though the levels are varied and choke full of action none of them particularly stand out, the story-line (though somewhat interesting) fails to establish any of kind of emotional connection between player and characters/events, and in general even though the plot isn't directly taken from another source it just feels like something we've seen countless times before in movies and other video games. Simply put, the campaign is uninspired, repetitive, boring, and worst of all really makes you feel like you're going through the motions for the sake of taking full advantage of that $60. In other words, it truly feels like this time around the developer went into it with the mindset that no one was going to care about the singleplayer and this total lack of interest is on display.

    In regards to the multiplayer, the absolute lifeblood of this franchise since 2007 the only aspect of this series that has convinced gamers and critics that silly, over the top, and short campaigns was alright....it's a total mess.

    The PC's versions existing technical issues are magnified when trying to fight through an online game where speed, reflexes, and precision are key. Personally I've had to turn down the graphics settings nearly as low as it will go in order to get decent performance thus making the game look like garbage which in turn isn't enjoyable in itself but also makes it really hard to distinguish opposing players from the environment more than a couple yards away. The issues with fairly consistent lag only multiplies these frustrations and makes playing the game for more than a couple rounds an absolute chore.

    Performance problems aside, the online aspect just doesn't feel as fun and addictive as it did in previous installments. While having different character models that you can customize (to a limit) is pretty great the killstreak reward feature feels neutered, the unlock system is unnecessarily convoluted, spawn locations on maps are terribly done, and the maps themselves are a mixed bag with maybe one or two enjoyable ones while the rest vary from kind of bad to terrible.

    The icing on this mediocre cake though is something that I almost can't believe they let happen. While people like to joke around that competitive online players jump on the "you're hacking!" thing too much, it appears as though Infinity Ward did very little to protect the online portion of the game from being abused by those using aimbots, wallhacks, and other such nonsense. Whereas Black Ops 2 had a pretty good anti-cheating system there doesn't even appear to be one for Ghosts. The result? There's plenty of people using these hacks out there and they're doing so virtually unrestricted by the game. This is a major issue and it needs to be resolved as quickly as possible.

    In short, Ghosts completely fails to achieve what it set out to do: i.e. be this new console generation's "Modern Warfare". Both its singleplayer and multiplayer are underwhelming and pack plenty of issues to boot and the consequence of this seems to be that more and more Call of Duty fans are waking up and realizing how stagnated and repetitive the franchise has gotten over the last six years.

    Call of Duty's fall had to come sometime and Ghosts may in fact be the harbinger either for the slow death of the series and/or the shift of support/acclaim from Infinity Ward to Treyarch.    … Expand

    Each current game runs on my computer and looks good.
    CoD Ghosts is jerky and still looks blurry.
    It has 30 GB of hard disk space and supplies a poor graphic.
    The MP is nice by the facilities here, but far too ugly.

    There is point perk system, as used in Treyarch's BO2, so if you're not a fan of that, then that might be a negative for you. Though, the same old 1 host advantage lobbies are being used once again, which can and will lead to laggy games, due to being forced to play against people probably not even close to your area.
    Graphics look nice, only if you max out all the settings. There's no in-game option to change field of view, there are mods available but there is uncertainty at the moment whether they are allowed without punishment/ban. All you get for audio options is a level bar to increase or decrease volume. Unlike BO1 & BO2 where you have different audio presets, and can even lower down the volume of annoying voice overs and music.
    As I said, this is the same gameplay as the previous games, whether they were IW or Treyarch, and I still have fun with that. So why such a low score? Well, I suppose this might not be IW fault completely, but there is weak PC community for this game. On average, there are 8K players online, sometimes 18K, and 30K on a rare sunny day. I honestly don't know if those are average numbers for a call of duty game on PC, being that it is my first one on PC. Without dedicated servers, and the previous 6GB RAM requirement (now patched to 4GB), people probably decided to pass on this or just decided to move on to consoles (which average +400K players online), sadly. Cannot recommend at the moment, if ever, I would suggest wait till steam itself has a free to play weekend, maybe by then there will be more players.    … Expand

The unlock system remains but you can do what you did in the original Black Ops, which is using tokens to buy guns, which I deeply like, I usually avoid CoD multiplayer since I played MW2 and just had grown hatred of it since, but this one I might play for a bit longer.

    Okay the singleplayer, so far not that great, Black Ops 2 was better. The campaign is very handholdy, you get to use these cool tactical items but they are scripted to very specific times in the game. Want to use that remote sniper again while your pinned down in a fire fight? Tough luck, you need to progress and wait for the prompt at the specific point in the story. These ideas could have been great if the developers respected our intelligence, like on veteran mode if they would tweak the difficulty so that you would NEED to use the automatic sniper more often, and other times they are just over powered. There is this seizure inducing tactical weapon in the game that when you use it, it basically blinds enemies as long as you have it up... No not pointed at them, just turn it on. I faced directly away from them and they still couldn't shoot me. Gunplay is upped somewhat on a couple of guns, some of them have good sound assets and such but it feels very familiar. In fact I think the weapons were better in Black Ops 2. The story is just OK, Black Ops 2 had good voice work, progressing story and your average likable soldier characters. Here it's really just not that great, the story has some interesting ideas but never really improves them in the gameplay aspect, I mean in CoD you were already killing thousands of soldiers while your dumbass friendly AI shot at walls so I still don't feel like America is as vulnerable as it should feel and your as out gunned as you should be.

    Finally, the P.C. port, wow, just, awful. I run a i7 3.5 GHZ with an ATI 7950 and I can't hit a solid 60 at high settings, to give you an example of what this card can do. Crysis 3 (bare in mind it is optimized heavily for my card brand) can run at 60 fps butter smooth at max settings (except shadows) at 1080p and it looks damn better, in fact, crysis 1 looks better than this game.

    In the end, Call of Duty Ghost's singleplayer is not as good as Black Ops 2 but the multiplayer might easily be (I haven't played any of Black Ops 2s for more than 30 minutes but they did bring back the old system of gun levels in that game so...) but the PC port and its 60 dollar asking price for 30 gigs of mostly wasted space is a hard sell. It's a slightly above average game with many hours of content but the PC port pushes it down.    … Expand

And they have taken away many features such as league play (which added a new competitive feel to the game, and introduced that side of the game very well), and other minor features such as an FoV slider, being able to show your ping, etc. These were extremely vital to us PC players.

    The maps in this game are terrible. They are way too big, not allowing competitive, fast paced games to take place, and i usually have to run around for about 30 seconds, until I find a player, which is when the lag comes in. About 80% of the time, i get the first shot on someone and i die first. The killcam shows that apparently I had not shot at them at all (and don't say i'm bad, I had a 1.6 k/d ratio on BO2). Never had it come across my mind that another CoD game could get me more frustrated than BO2, but BO2 feels like an extremely good game after playing Ghosts.

    In the future, I will probably not buy any iW games anymore, before looking at reviews. I made a foolish mistake of pre-ordering.    … Expand

    BTW, all the game modes are available in core mode, but in hardcore you only get 3. Very F'n lame IW!. And you can't use the "Free Fall" map in hardcore either as of now.

    The only i'll give this game is that the maps are very nice, but that's all this game gets from me. Over powered dogs and your typical crappy lag compensation makes this game almost unplayable. Even high end PC's struggle to play this game evenly at normal settings.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. SPOILERS IN REVIEW

    I'm not the biggest COD fan, but I still play them, I enjoy the campaigns, which this review will mostly focus on, multiplayer is the same with minor tweaks, which is a kind way of saying "a downgrade from Black Ops 2."

    So campaign, I liked the premise, these so called ghosts were interesting, well when described, in action not so much, lets just say their is hardly any "Ghosting" in the campaign, these guys are just as loud as your typical soldier. When you meet them (its funny how you meet them, you get beat up by wolves and they poof out of thin air and save you) you instantly want to be them because they wear cool masks or something. Anyways you play as Logan -yet another silent protagonist from Infinity Ward- who follows his brother Hesh (I think I spelled that right) like a dog, speaking of dogs lets get to the most innovation this game has, Riley, who receives the most attention in terms of animation and graphical fidelity, other than the fish. This dog is the terminator, attacking unlucky helicopter pilots, soldiers, wolves, and well everything moving that isn't on your side. (surprisingly he lives!)

    I think that's all the characters, no wait, no its not, sorry I don't remember all of them because they are forgettable and terribly written, the main villain is bad because he fell into a river and got wet, or more like he was left behind by his squad- who he was the leader of- and he was tortured -but its stressed that Ghosts don't break- so the logical thing to do is declare war on America! Who is the nemesis this time? Russia, China? Nope, is South America and friends! Ok, so your dad was the one who dropped him and when Rorke, that's his name, finds you and your dad he tortures you both- apparently the "professional Ghosts" were stopped by sleeping gas in a wide open area- ok anyways when he captures you it shows that Infinity Ward thinks that human beings are invincible since your dad takes about 10 bullets to the chest and still alive and well until he gets shot in the head. This ideology happens more and more throughout the story, in the end you fight Rorke in a train underwater (the train is underwater because you blew up its tracks) you shoot Rorke in the stomach, then he drowns, but in the end he somehow goes to another beach end around a mountain, sneaks behind you beats you up, then drags you off as your brother watches lazily then the game ends, wow! That was worth my time! Now lets wait until 2015 to see these generic characters again! Neat!

    Gameplay wise its COD, what more is there to say? Well now thanks to next gen, your gun bobs in your hand, fish move (They really don't), and you can now mantle objects, this is inspired from ARMA and Battlefield but is poorly implemented when jumping over objects because it stops your movement forward as you climb, but sliding works well. AI is still incredibly stupid, I'm surprised no one ever mentions the AI! They rarely help you or watch your back. The campaign is still very linear, but there are a few interesting levels, such as "Hunted" were in the beginning section you can stealth or fight, and "Federation Day" was also interesting. I did like the space and underwater levels since they were different in terms of movement, they were more asymmetrical, but your are insta killed if you go to high cause.... Infinity Ward! Riley is poorly implemented, you only play as him two times through forced linear stealth. I end this with its pretty much the same (shocking!)

    Multiplayer, I'm not touching that with a 60ft poll, I don't like COD multiplayer. Just know that Black Ops 2 did this better. Besides buying a game just for multiplayer is idiotic and a waste of money since it will be hacked/ abandoned in a few months.

    The PC port is a sad excuse, single player runs fine, for me at least, but not for others, I had the game maxed and it really rarely impressed me in terms of graphics, mind you this is 50Gbs! The textures are still low quality and ugly, all I can think the memory is for is the dogs (yes there are a lot of dogs) and the fish, with about 1Gb for the small things like guns, hairy arms, jungles, animations for people, and stuff.

    So yeah more of the same, again! I end this with one powerful word, DOG. Maybe Treyarch will do something interesting like they have been doing for their past few games.

    Single Player game is a good story. Excellent play through. Weapons aren't any better than previous titles with little imagination. Multiplayer maps are very well done. Everyone has stealth for the most part. More weapon add ons and perks makes this game have more bonuses for the player than previous titles. Makes game too easy.

I do like the game though, and while it isnt any better then black ops 2, its still fun. the action sequences are still fun, and they are a bit larger then in previous titles. this brings me to my next point, the graphics. they really didnt improve in a lot and it lacks the graphics i expect from a 2013 triple A release. some aspects were improved, but overall the graphics are almost identical (which isnt a good thing) .the graphics are also inconcictent. a jungle mission looks great but most of the other levels dont look as well(the jungle mission is also pretty fun). textures are extremely low ress and explosions look 2D and crap. the games mechanics also feel untouched, and while theyre good, ive seen better and i expected better graphics than this. the enviroments are pretty detailed, which is a plus. overall the game is just fun crazy action. the friendly AI isnt the best, and the enemy AI is mediocore. i also had a sound bug which was really irritating. the ending is also extremely crap!!! though it may look like i dont like the game, i had a good time with it. its not as good as black ops 2, and i have a lot of complaints about it, but its still a fun crazy shooter and if you like the genre you should buy it.… Expand

Which means that my computer has to be on my knees in order to play it. I have a pretty kick ass computer with amazing specs, but I can't even play the game on high, which beings up another problem.

The graphics looks dated and the textures are very, very bad. The fov is extremely small and likely to induce motion sickness, which actually happened to a friend of mine.

    The gameplay also has huge problems. The flinch is extremely strong and the weapons are overpowered. This means that the first person to hit the target will win every duel, and you will die without a chance to react, over and over again. Because there are no dedicated servers and huge ping differences, combining with the op weapons, playing is extremely frustrating.

    The character customization is ridiculously complicated. To unlock challenges you have to have "operations" active, which means that you will take years unlocking challenges you would have otherwise completed many times. What kind of imbecile came up with that idea? And of course there is widespread hacking. Here in Europe there are now hackers, not just wallhackers, but aimbotters in almost every other game and nothing is being done about it. I bought every COD, but this is the last one.

    Best Call of Duty campaign yet. Visually stunning. This may sound silly, but I think Call of Duty played on what people thought of previous campaigns this time and truly amplified it.

    People will analyze this story to death, but as an action movie style plot it's great. Snow, underwater, repelling down skyscrapers, even tanks and helicopters. It has everything and does it all well. To bad some of it feels like it could have been more like the dog especially.

It rivals it's beauty through style, and it runs smoother than BF4 even if BF4 when tweaked properly (no MSAA, low postAA at 1440p) still looks really smooth on my 7970.

    The Game runs on my System(amd fx-8150 cpu,gtx-670 gpu, 16gb ram) not without mircostutters every few seconds. and with microstutters i mean seconds of freezing in which you dant do anything.
    The graphic is ported from consoles and not able to fully use PC specs. The game also keeps you from alt-tabbing or using the windows key in game. the options are severely limited in the audio section (sfx and music not seperated, wtf?).

    The gameplay as it is is the same as every infinity ward cod. not bad, but not innovative (in meaningful aspects). The new Gamemodes are fun and keep the game a bit from being a campfest. hitdetection is still clientside, which i (personally) dont get is still a thing in modern titles.
    The spawns are really bad, but that may depend on my personal bad luck. It happens frequently that you spawn in direct line of sight of the enemy that has just killed you (20m radius of your corpse).

    All in all i don't recommend the game as long as IW doesn't severlay rework the code, which -honestly- won't happen.

    For the modern military shooter fans i recommend to stick to BO2 or Battlefield until this title is fixed.
    As for hardcore fps fans i recommend shootmania as old-school title    … Expand

    Multiplayer is has some issues:
    1. Not that much weapon and attachments variety (less weapons than in prev. games), no proficiencies, little to NO weapon customization costs squad points). And still around 10% of the weapons are ok. In every class there's one good weapon, and 3 just for the sake of a "variety". In simple TDM you need absolutely no attachments, one good weapon, secondary are also unnescessary, nades and tacticals should also be switched for perk slots, it's really useless.
    2. Perk system works fine but there still no that much impact on the game (for example, full Specialist in MW3 was a Rambo, but here, it's just an OKAY bonus, IMO).
    3. Experience system is nedlessly complicated so it would take more time to advance. There's no reason to torture yourself with it. LVLing up does absolutely nothing, the challenges are ridiculous. You have a customization option but you can't really unlock anything so well. It's easier to hack squad points, but everything you might need and play. Camos unlocks are also bad, IMO.
    4. Squads are useless. I don't know about the clans, cause I play alone, maybe it's ok. Extinction is okay. Co-op survival is ok, but it's hard to find a server, nobody plays it.
    5. Maps are ok, with some exceptions. There are two bad maps, Stonehaven for it's campy design and Siege cause it's like 5x size of a normal map, at times you can't even find a single enemy for minutes.
    6. Killstreaks. Support streaks have 3 good items: SATcom, Ammo crate for fun and the Vests. Everything else is useless. Assault is good only for a heli, sometimes a dog can come in handy, but it dies fast. Maniac is also fun though. Not that much to choose from. 1/2 good combinations of Support and Assault ones. Specialist is a waste of kills.
    Overall: it's a half of an overpriced DLC for MW3.
    An OK singleplayer campaign. (amazing if you compare it to Battlefield 4).
    Less variety and combinations, nothing to experiment with in multiplayer.
    No reason to LVLup. No reason to get better.

    The multiplayer, is fun but quite slow. It doesn't click as well as Black Ops 2. It's fun though, also the create a class has made a huge leap from the other COD games. There are a different range of maps, big and small, but mainly big. Not much sniping spots though, only some small straights where you can squeeze in a bit of sniping.

    The only problem with this is the 6GB requirement. I have used something to get it to play with 4GB, and it runs no problem!

    This COD is mainly suited for the next-gen consoles, but you don't want to here kids screaming "I YOUR MOM!", so go for the PC version if you don't like kids screaming they had sexual intercourse with your mom.

    All round, good game. Need some improvements, for example, large open maps for better sniping and FOV slider, also removing the 6GB minimum requirement.

    Technically it's a shambles as well. SLI is broken, and frame rates are all over the place. Even the level intro scenes are stuttering and dropping audio. Just raising your gun sight often results in stuttering video and audio.

    Unplayable.
    The graphics looks like something from COD MW1, i mean the badness of the textures are amazing and do not get me started on the microstuddering. I regret using time and money on this and I will not be continuing with the COD franchise

    I had ALOT of issues with BO1 almost half of the maps didnt work, (unknown error) steam or treyarch did nutting about it. MW3 came, bought it, even more issues AGAIN with mouse sensitivity crashes fps drops all that.
    then for some reason I still bought BO2 and I actually liked it, I actually still think that it is the second best call of duty to date.
    So about GHOSTS. I cant understand those scumbags at IW.. I mean, this is the worst game I'v ever seen, indluding how new the game is.
    the MP is barely playable, it has screen tearing even with vsync on, texture flickering, terrible fps drops, crashes...god o'll mighty help us with this crap..
    I own all of the Call of Duty games, yes, definitely something not to be proud of, but I always end up thinking "maybe this time they'v fixed it, now its good!" but no, it never is.. good buy Call of Duty, forever.
    and excuse me for my bad English.    … Expand

    This game is a abomination in game development these days.It is a multiplayer game that cant handle synchronisation between players, hit detection and it's already hacked.

    Well this is just a bummer game in the series! Everything has went downhill after COD4 and everything since has been a copy copy and another copy! Next generation game? More like bad textures and same gameplay! Activision, I'm disappoint!

    Bad in game option that make no sense. Image quality on extra are basically the resolution you want in the first place. Terrain quality on and off? why not tesselation on and off? Shadow option on off, why can't IW simply give us pc game more leverage for in game option like shadow resolution wtf console port. Graphically on max setting are like battlefield 3 on LOW and yet put a gtx 560Bad in game option that make no sense. Image quality on extra are basically the resolution you want in the first place.

Graphically on max setting are like battlefield 3 on LOW and yet put a gtx 560 ti to its knee where it once run bf 3 for me just fine on high 60+ fps and this game run like crap at 10-80 fps stuttering. Advertise as PhyX enable game but where is the on and off setting? And no fov slider that locked to 65, couple with news of player getting vac banned because of third party fov changer. With that fov FORGET ABOUT MULTIPLAYER. Utter trash, i would give it a 0 if the single player campaign and set piece is not decent at least… Expand

    Amazingly, 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.

    Unplayable mess, the game looks like sh*t and isn't optimised for PC: stuttering, low framerates, constant crashes, poor controls and all this from a company that's supposed to be at the top of their field and rakes in a billion dollars per title. I feel like I've been scammed and want a refund. This is the last one I buy.

    The game itself is actually fairly good. Same gameplay experience, which I don't mind, and the maps seem to be a nice hybrid between Battlefield and Call of Duty. The graphics are pretty much the same as MW3, which doesn't really bother me, who plays COD for graphics?

    But besides that, the problems with the PC version are absolutely unforgivable, I can't run Dxtory or steam overlay when    The game itself is actually fairly good.

Don't get me wrong, this is a fairly good game, but I just cannot recommend this for PC unless you have friends on it, get it for console.    … Expand

    Do not spend your hard earned cash in to this pile of crap. Please don't do it. The campaign is not even that good. Multiplayer is buggy. Unbalanced guns and annoying kids. Already seeing hackers in game....

    It's exactly what fans of the franchise have grown to expect. No surprises here, folks. [Jan 2014, p.90]

    Nothing to see here in terms of innovation: the campaign is dull, the multiplayer fun. But this time, the air of sameness is a little bit too much. [Issue#236]

    An utterly horrible PC port mars an otherwise very, very average Call of Duty game. Nothing to see here.
