    it's Call of Duty... with a dog.. and fish AI that make you unable to play unless you have 6 GB RAM which is pure insanity

    worst game release of all time.

    Since MW2 COD sinks deeper and deeper. This game is for me the end of the series. I wont buy the next titles, because i will no longer support such greedy sacks (sorry for sacks). Will you support them, or are you fresh for new First Person Shooters? I said fresh.

    Sorry for translation errors.

    Just like MW3, Ghosts has proven itself as a horribly failed Call of Duty game. Bringing nothing new to the franchise, it also takes away smooth and stable gameplay of older CoD games to a buggy, unfinished, terribly optimized piece of overrated trash. This 28,5 GBs joke of a game is only good for laughs to the incredibly silly quicktime events.

    The graphics are even worse than the transition from Cod 2 to 3. I am so glad I didn't buy any of the map packs or expansions. This will be the last CoD I ever buy. I mean honestly PayDay 2 has better graphics. I thought it would be cool that you could customize a character and become a woman. I think thats the only improvement this game has made.

    Horrible games, may the worst game in the COD series, bad graphics, bad story, bad multiplayer. I'm so disappointed, and WTF, the system requirements, the graphics is very bad, I't can't compare to Battlefield 3 using Frostbite2, and Battlefield 4 using Frostbite3 does NOT need 6gb ram to play.

    Worst game of the year. IGN and others who gave this game such a high score are obviously money hungry idiots who don't care at all about Gaming community. No optimization, bad sounds, 4 HOUR CAMPAING. I think even the campains it's worse than BF4's campaing. Nothing new, just minking the franchise. Again. And again. And again.

    i thought after MW3, ghosts could only be an improvement, i was wrong, so wrong, the spawns are worse, the maps are worse, the netcode is worse, the optimization is therees just oo much wrong with this game. it has a couple of decent feattures, but none enough to make it more then a 2. I dont know how you did it infinity ward, you manged to make a game worse then MW3.

    Same game from greedy guys. Made game for consoles not for PC. I can't even name that "shooter" no aim, small maps, no skill.
    Wont buy any "CoD" games anymore.
    his is a step back from Black Ops 2 in almost every way. No FoV slider on PC version, or FPS cap setting, both of which were present in BO2. Bugs in MW3 that were addressed in BO2 are now somehow back in Ghosts, for example the random jumps in mouse sensitivity that happen if certain programs are running in the background (such as FRAPs). Theater mode, one of the best features of recent Call of Duty games, has been removed. Optimization wise, my computer runs Battlefield 4 on max settings at higher frame rates than Ghosts. Image quality defaults to 'high', which causes upscaling of resolution like a console game rather than rendering at your chosen resolution. Sound effects sound like they were taken straight from MW3. Sad.

    Surelly its the worst game from the call of duty series, it is just crappy. Dont deserve even a pinny. I cant describe how frustrating it is, basically i have played all the call of duty series, some very good, others more or less, but this one has surelly ended the series. Very heavyy, bad graphics, single-player bad made, etc!! BATTLEFIELD 4 is much more fun

    Dear Activision!

    6 Gb RAM hard-lock on totally outdated eight-year-old engine is one of the most insanely idiotic things I ever seen. At no point in making of this retarded decision were you ever close to anything that can be considered a rational thought. Every COD:Ghosts owner is now dumber for having bought it. I award you zero meta-score and may God have mercy on your soul.

If you pre load both MP and SP, when you click play button after unlock, it will unpack SP files but also instantly wipe out all MP files which contains shared file which means you still cannot play SP. Damn, We have to re down load another 24GB files for over 10 hours. This is one of the fatal flaws. If we have to re download files, what is the difference to have a damn pre load option? to tease you before you can play or to mock you after you cannot play and feel angry? Shame on them. Another fatal flaw is 6GB damn ram requirement. I have 24GB ram and I have no issue with it at this point. But I know many people's pc still has 4 GB ram and 4 GB for playing games at low or med settings is totally enough. According to my experience with 3D software and after effects software and games, only a long image rendering queue uses over 4GB ram which can take over 16GB ram. But not a single game. It is simple. And from reports, ghosts doesn't need 6GB to run, it only uses 2GB so 4GB is good to go. I know it is good for people to warn them that their system might not be good to handle a game. But polite notice or warning is good, simply blocking people from playing it is bad, I am serious, really bad. Expand

    Almost exactly the same Call of Duty, as we see it for 5 years. Almost nothing new. Dogs, dog and dog again. It is better to skip past if you have long been familiar with the series.

    Total garbage. Fov stuck at 65. No multimonitor support at all, not even with third party software.) graphics are garbage. This game should sell for $29.99. They don't care though. They are counting all our money. Only way to fix this is to stop supporting them. Don't buy their games anymore. That would force them to make a complete overhaul of this garbage.

    I expected a minor graphical improvement, well, let's say we have it, but it came with a HUGE performance drop, my rig (Phenom II 965BE, HD7950) runs BF4 on ultra at 30-40 fps.
    And this effing game runs at..... drum roll please.... 30-40 fps. BF4 is absolutely gorgeous, but this game, I can't even think of something in it that could justify such low

    They are trying to push next gen graphics on a obsolete engine, it will work, but it's unefficient as possible.
    And the PC version doesn't even have FOV setting.

    The most terrible game i've played the last 2 decades. Game is stuttering all over the place on both low and high video settings, buggy textures, the most ridiculous guns from which it doesn't even matter where or when or how you shoot. You kill things in 2 hits, if you shoot in the arm, leg, stomach or chest nothing will make any difference.

In my mind, I kidded myself thinking this year it would be different, this year (especially with the advent of next gen) COD would look amazing, play amazing and after the fallout from BO2, Infinity Ward would do something... interesting with the game. I have played probably around 7 matches. And I hate this game. Same old stuff graphics no improvement. Gameplay boring as hell. Poor spawning. Connection issues. Snipers still bloody camping. I discovered Battlefield BC2 a while back and have been a fan of the series since. I have never been a fanboy type, but seriously, BF4 (even with the games many technical issues re connection, rubber banding, stat losses, etc) is a far far better game. Even BF3 is far superior to COD Ghosts.
    I could go on here and make this pretty extensive, however I am itching to play some more BF4, so will keep this brief. In summary: DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS GAME. ITS THE SAME AS ALL THE OTHER CODS. Boring, full of campers, poor graphics (I am on a high end PC and this game looks ancient), poor gameplay, poor optimisation, no way to adjust key things like ADS sensitivities, etc.
    I think this is the end of the COD franchise (I hope so anyway) especially with the likes of BF4, Destiny, Titanfall and others coming out which are far better games. Goodbye COD, I will not miss you.

When you have DICE coming out with entirely new versions of its engine and implementing that in its new release, how could you NOT keep up with your competition? There is a level of arrogance that I find unacceptable in many of these companies. They think that we as gamers will buy their new games (within a franchise) JUST because it was made. They forget that gamers have certain expectations and that we drive the industry as consumers, not the other way around. I'm sorry, but CoD Ghosts, you failed me on too many levels. I haven't been a BF fan in years, but for the sake of enjoyment, I am going to be dividing my time between BF4 and Arma3. This was not an improvement on your last release at all. Expand

There are so many little things that are totally off that it is now shock to the player that when you actually play the game you are forced to look for what is good about the game. I am so disappointed and this company will never see a pre-order from me again. The match making system is horrible as well, you sit in que and wait and wait for a game. The squads wargame was a good idea for beginners but it failed after 1 week of no one using it. I would have rather had a cool normal game that this fancy resource hog that had figured out a way to make it incredibly user unfriendly. Expand

    Worst COD yet.

    Do they intend to keep PC players? The current version is a sad excuse of a port.

    -last decade graphics, guns sound like muffled firecrackers, character models and the general experience of the MP feels like a free-to-play FPS

    It's CoD. It's the same crap all over again. With some more guns....
    I lol at the 'professional critics' reviews who always love to suck off big developers with their positive scores.
    But the players (the most important critics) have spoken.
    CoD is well and truly dying and the slow sales of this latest installment may well be one of the final nails in it's overdue coffin.

The animations are awful Grenades are thrown by magically puking them out of your face and waving aimlessly in front of you afterwards. Character movement look like something from the first iteration of the source engine... everything seems out of place. The sound effects are borderline hilarious. Silencers sound like a mix between a laser gun from star wars and the classic james bond pistol. Btw explosions are sad, very sad.
    Read this out loud: "POOF!" I guarantee that sounds better than anything in game.

    If you haven't bought this game already, please stay away. If you have: get a refund.

I'm a loyal COD fan, I have racked up over 720+hrs of time in Black Ops 2, but I cannot recommend this title to anyone at this time. I wish I could get my $120 back.

    - Field of View is locked at 65 degrees, no slider like in BF4 or Black Ops 2.

    - No multi-screen Eyefinity/surround gaming support

    - No Ping displayed in multiplayer.

    - No Search Preferences selection what-so-ever. You will not know you are in a laggy game into you watch your Killcam Replay and realize you show up on your opponents screen much earlier than he does on yours.

    - Lots of freezes and crashes. Some are recoverable crashes to desktop, others are BSOD and reboot the computer.

    -FPS cap'd at 91fps

    -6gb ram requirement even though it uses less than 2gb of system ram

    -Memory leaks everywhere

    Do yourself a favor an wait to see if Activision Infinity Ward fixes this title before you buy. One look on the COD PC discussion forum and you will know the truth.

    Now for the hardcore stuff.
    Models and textures are absolutely atrocious they really look a game that was created back in 2009.
    Horrible PC port there is literally 0 optimization done on the game. People who have SLI/Crossfire get the same FPS if they were running 1 card. There's also incredible micro-stutter if you have more than 1 card active.
    Absolutely terrible net code, it feels like MW3 but it's so much worse.
    Weapons kill you in an absolute heartbeat, it feels like I'm playing hardcore while playing core. (I don't want to imagine how terrible hardcore is.)
    Level design is absolutely terrible you're always being constantly thrown into peoples faces. What ever happened to sight lines and amazing level design from the CoD4 & MW2 dev team? OH WAIT, the developers of InfinityWard that made MW2 & COD4 are actually gone and working on Titanfall at Respawn Entertainment.
    InfinityWard is just a big shadow of its former self, all it has is a title. Nothing more, nothing less.
    There is no support for PC the game is so limited in functionality it's depressing. There is no FoV slider, FPS setting, proper dedicated servers, mod tools, and finally support. Literally none of the developers of IW/Neversoft/Sledgehammer care about PC.
    Multiplayer feels like you're playing on steroids while running around and getting shot in the back thanks to the terrible spawn system (and very terrible map design).
    Modders could create better balanced maps than the level designers and in a fraction of the time that they had.

    In-truth this game deserves an honest 0 by everyone, you can see it for yourself the user scores are the truth. Don't buy this game, get Battlefield 4.

Calling this "Next-gen" is a lie. The texture quality is cringe worthy, the overall graphics on Modern Warfare 3 standards. They have reused so many textures from past games it's not even funny. We quickly noticed textures and graphical properties from MW3, but color me shocked when we found MW2 stuff in there as well. The menus are a joke, no FoV-slider (locked at 65) which means many people including myself get's headaches and slight nausea after a one hour sitting. One of the best indicators of a lousy PC-port is the menus, and with the sound menu being, and I ye not, "VOLUME" That's it. A general volume slider. It's horrendous. Can't speak much of the general gameplay or maps because I wont waste more time of my life on this Lady Gaga-game. Framedrops and stutters all over, doesn't even matter what PC your on.

    SP story is total rubbish the plot is well no spoilers here but well some levels make no sens. Plot here is just trowing more excuses for more kills (don't get me wrong this is FPS after all it's about killing).
    AI i have filling that they wanted to create a feeling that there are soldiers on your team and not all enemy's focus on u (thou tanks have only one aim kill you which is plain stupid but this resulted in enemy's not wanting to kill you. Graphics well games are not about graphic but this title have nothing else so i will say few words about it. It s not bad dynamic lighting looks awesome. Some other effects are pretty cool to can't complain but then comes the textures i recently played HL2 and textures were i want say better but more appealing.(almost 10 years of "progress"). fixing FOV at 65 why do that i can not find any justification for that. I played game on the best settings i were i can not imagine how it looks on lower settings.
    MP well it's pretty much average COD MP. I really enjoy maps they are good. but why 6 people not 8 it would be better since maps seams a bit to big for 12 players only. lvl system is pretty descent maybe there is too much sprayers thou well its cod after all.

    i'd probably give mp a try and play it more. But definitely not coming back to SP.
    my score would be 5
    +it's provides fast action gameplay
    +MP is descent but not great but u can enjoy playing it
    -sp campain plot is STUPID and it treats u like total idiot it almost plays itself
    -to few players per map.

    But i will give it 0
    Why two days passed and nobody addressed disappointed players no patches, instead we here about how good game sales and that they sued people who actually tried to fix the game developers should be ashamed forcing 6 gb ram (well i don't care i have 16 but why not let people play your game )
    also i got the feeling that it;s not final product. And i had a lot of issues trying to lunch this game due to some language error not allowing me to play English i was force to play in my mother tongue and the translation is stupid) Im sorry i spend my money on this title Next time give me good COD (and i will w8 for players reviews) or this series is dead for me

    After trying Black Ops 2 during a free weekend on steam and being somewhat pleasantly surprised, I thought Ghosts would be a good game to start with at launch. How wrong I was.

    I'll be brief, this is the reasons this game deserves all the low scores: - Locked 65 FoV (and a player-made fix got taken down by Activision, the publishers) - Stuttering issues, even though the game looks
    After trying Black Ops 2 during a free weekend on steam and being somewhat pleasantly surprised, I thought Ghosts would be a good game to start with at launch. How wrong I was.

    I'll be brief, this is the reasons this game deserves all the low scores:
    - Locked 65 FoV (and a player-made fix got taken down by Activision, the publishers)
    - Stuttering issues, even though the game looks even worse than the previous iteration, Black Ops 2. The player models are especially bad.
    - Artificial 6 GB RAM requirement even though the game only uses 2 GB (not a problem for me, but still really dumb)

    Apart from that, the usual issues people have with CoD (how it's basically the same gameplay-wise as the last game) still holds true, but this time, it's actually worse than the previous iteration. I woefully regret my purchase and would not recommend this to anyone. It's a poor 360 port and it shows.

    To be completely honest, this feels like a cheap f2p game rather than something you ask 60 euros for. In fact, many f2p games ARE better than this turd. Stay clear.

    Mark Rubin has single-handedly ruined the CoD franchise. Paying no attention to the gaming community and arrogantly made CoD in his own image, the game now feels like running around on a grave yard of past grandeur. Most of the "alternative" game modes are now gone, probably because he didn't like them, i.e. Demolition, Sabotage, etc. It's only S&R (Search and Rescue) TDM and FFA left,Mark Rubin has single-handedly ruined the CoD franchise.

Most of the "alternative" game modes are now gone, probably because he didn't like them, i.e. Demolition, Sabotage, etc. It's only S&R (Search and Rescue) TDM and FFA left, dumbing down the game play further. And since he don't have any friends or understand the concept of communities, he don't see the value of dedicated servers either, so he removed them too. And because his track record speaks for itself, (he's quite dim), 18 players was a bit too much to handle, so he capped it at 12 and 8 for most of the maps. The rather small number of concurrent players makes the gaming experience just dull. You always feel like you're on a half-empty server, always wondering where the action "really" is.

    The low FOV makes you feel like you are wearing dive mask or something, again probably how a very narrow minded person perceives the world, so for him, it looks perfectly normal.

    So what you thought was impossible in 2007, namely destroying the Call of Duty franchise, Mark Rubin did. He'll go down in history as the man who single-handedly destroyed one of the worlds strongest brands in less than a decade. How embarrassing. It seems incredible but Mark Rubin and IW never understood what made their own game tick. What a sad day for gaming.

    This game is just a pathetic display of arrogance by Infinity Ward; they are just saying "We can release the same game every year and you idiots keep buying it." The ending is just a copy/paste of Modern Warfare 2's, not to mention the reused assets from a game released four years ago. What exactly makes up that ridiculous 50GB download?

    Don't listen to the reviewers saying its what people wanted.. If it was what people wanted the user score wouldn't be so low.. Its a horrific port that lags high end hardware and offers nothing to justify that because it looks about as good as Black ops 2 if not WORSE... Its still the exact same formula full of horrible community members.. All around its really really bad.. Don't buyDon't listen to the reviewers saying its what people wanted..

    So today I received this game for free, as a gift from a magazine I'm subscribed to. To my surprise, I needed 6GB of RAM. Bit steep, but okay, the graphics quality will suffer a bit, no biggie, as long as the game runs I'm fine with it. Turns out, the game does not even launch if you do not meet the 6GB of RAM. The 50GB needed to install the game is as ridiculous as the 6GB of RAM. I'mSo today I received this game for free, as a gift from a magazine I'm subscribed to. To my surprise, I needed 6GB of RAM.

    Utter disaster. IW can't be arsed about their games anymore, nor is Faildivision. It is getting ridiculous and I blame all these CoD fanatics for its continuity.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. All games get bugs in the first week of launch so that has nothing to do with the score. Instead the story is literally awful, boring (shoot a wave and go, wave and go, repeat over and over), and incredibly predictable. I will admit i did not expect the ending, but it was the worst cliff hanger in history. Now the multiplayer, they tried so hard to innovate that they literally made the worst CoD i have ever played (i played every single one except CoD 3). Its just not the same fun feeling i had, instead its just a series of frustrating events (awful spawns lead to camping, camping leads to hide and seek instead of run and gun that it should be). Lastly, graphics mean little to me as long as the game is good, but you think if they made the campaign this short and bad, with this kind of multiplayer, they could have tried to make a beautiful game with the amount of money they had? I used to be a "CoD is better than Battlefield" guy. Now on this game im about to hop the fence. Expand

    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.
