    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am a big fan of this series of games, but the new Call of Duty: Ghosts very frustrating, just spitting in the direction of his loyal fans from the great Activision, how could they put on sale. Call of Duty: Ghosts bad at all since the charts, finishing just incredible overestimation of system requirements. Poor Call of Duty Expand

    I used to play a lot of CoD as a kid, but got pretty bored of playing the same game after MW2. I got back into it with Black Ops 2, and enjoyed it very much! After Treyarch rekindled my love of CoD, I preordered Ghosts, and I'm glad to say: Its an unplayable piece of trash, so buggy it numbs the mind, nothing new at all, and the new engine actually might look worse than the old one.

    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.

    I'm not going to just rant, I'll give a breakdown of why CoD: Ghosts is the absolute worst game of the franchise.

    1) Graphics While improved compared to previous installments, the "new engine" used is actually an old one that's been around for quite some time. It's just "new" to CoD. Compared to other recent games, such as BF4, it's nowhere near cutting edge. But that's just the
    I'm not going to just rant, I'll give a breakdown of why CoD: Ghosts is the absolute worst game of the franchise.

    1) Graphics While improved compared to previous installments, the "new engine" used is actually an old one that's been around for quite some time. It's just "new" to CoD. Compared to other recent games, such as BF4, it's nowhere near cutting edge. But that's just the "prettiness" factor, not to mention all the bugs and anomalies. Random jumping and "pausing" occurs even on the highest end machines regardless of video settings. So horrible in fact, the menu screens are sluggish to react and appear jumpy.

    2) Field of View(FOV) Currently locked at 65 degrees. What a horse would see with blinders on. Think about that, you can't see players coming at you just 32.5 degrees off to either side of your screen. 90 is considered minimum playable by most gamers, 120 being more realistic and optimal.

    3) Sound Just one bar for volume. No ability to adjust SFX, in game CoD caster, nothing. It makes the already questionable positional audio more difficult to hear and every sound just kinda mushes together. Even with the best surround headsets audible cues are difficult to make out, especially footsteps.

    4) Poor netcode Ghosts doesn't allow you to see your ping or even bars to see what kind of connection you have. The severe lag and warping around will constantly have your jaw dropping just trying to figure out what happened. Quite often you'll find yourself dead on the ground, seemingly instagibbed, before even a shot is fired. But watch the killcam and you'll see the other player unloading half a clip on you. Unexplainable and inexcusable coding.

    5) Weapon balancing and hitboxes It's likely the poor netcode overlapping this issue, but it almost seems like weapon choice and attachments simply doesn't matter as long as you can minimize recoil. Even so, you'll wonder just how you died or "how the did that hit!?" Snipers are the only weapon I've found to be fairly consistent, but the way it's been designed......it caters to the quick scope players. The same players IW and 3arc have stated snipers are not supposed to work that way. It's a common loadout for cheaters and horrible players that even put red dot stickers on their monitors to indicate center aim.

    6) Maps The worst designed maps in the history of CoD. Some are far too large for a simple 6v6. Every last one has such a multitude of angles to fire from it's impossible to cover your 6. Choke points are non-existent. Combine that with the low FOV and you'll find that most deaths you'll never see, or hear, coming. There is no equivalent of "Nuketown", no map with the exception of 1 that would make for good sniper play. Pick up a high powered SMG and you're good to go. Assault rifles would be good for many maps as well....assuming you're not the run and gun type and tend to camp more.

    7) Cheaters Day one and you already have aimbots, wallhacks, the usual. External link: http://www.geek.com/games/call-of-duty-ghosts-hacked-already-aimbots-and-wall-hacks-implemented-1576060/

    There you have it. There are many more smaller issues to contend with but these are the big ones. Overall the worst CoD in franchise history. If you haven't purchased the game yet, don't. If you already have it and are disappointed, return it or file a chargeback with your credit card company to get a refund. This game certainly was not as advertised and Infinity Ward Activision should be ashamed.

    Graphically 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.

    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.

    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

    Connection is Fantastic, haven't lagged once since playing and have has no issues with FPS drops or connection stutters. Nice array of guns with lots of strengths, the shotguns could be a bit stronger.

    Good perk system, like the way they've done it and opens up a lot more variety to your load-out choices,
    The maps may not be everyone's cup of tea, but i enjoy around half of them. And those are the ones that i will continue playing.. Enjoying the game a lot so far after 2 days and around 13-15 hours game time..

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. Please, please stay away from this game. At least on PC. Worst PC-port ever made. Expand

    First impressions. The singleplayer was varied, quite fast paced, unrealistic and "arcadey". More stealth than in MW3, which is good, because running and gunning is not fun (looking at you BF4 and MW3). The plot is confusing at first, but sort of makes sense after some mission. Although the space combat makes NO sense, although, it's in space, so that doesn't matter. FIIIIIIIIISH areFirst impressions. The singleplayer was varied, quite fast paced, unrealistic and "arcadey".

Although the space combat makes NO sense, although, it's in space, so that doesn't matter. FIIIIIIIIISH are there, they move about. Sharks eat you, beware, they don't move away. You're in a attack chopper once, which gives out lots of explosions and stuff. You're also a dog sometimes, but really not that much, doesn't matter. The ending is weird, confusing, wat. Hey, lets not forget, they should've EASILY seen him or even heard him.

    Overall thoughts of singleplayer; Over average CoD style.

    Lets not forget the other stuff as well. Extinction is quite fun and can be expanded a bit if they want to. Other than that it's more or less taken inspirations from almost everything. The challenges you get are solid and not exactly easy from what I've seen. The artstyle of the aliens is surprisingly good, unexpected by someone that has copied and pasted stuff for the last 6 years. Credit to IW for that, unless that's also copied, then credit to those who made it originally. The mode becomes chaotic on singleplayer and I assume it becomes a lot better co-op. At least, it's a new fresh thing and will hopefully not be cursed by the easter egg thing that has zombies up completely.

    Now to multiplayer. You get your 5 soldiers off the start, they don't cost that much, then you could spend a lot of time on the others. The new unlock system is nice, it removes the need of being at a specific level (but still requires you to play to unlock stuff). The operations is also a nice twist to the regular challenges from the last 6 or so games. I would still wish that you could unlock attachments and weapons and other stuff by using the specific weapon, instead of being forced to use the squad points. The customization of soldiers is all a waste of time, because REMEMBER WHAT YOU ACTUALLY SEE WHEN PLAYING. Yes, you remembered it, only your arms, not even your legs. The only "major" difference is you can be a fake or a real Which would make a minor difference in shoutouts and stuff.

    Now over to gameplay. Since this is PC we're talking about, we also have to talk about PC related issues. As everyone knows, their engine is pretty much based on the terrible IW5 engine. Should've been based on the lovely IW4 engine, which actually worked properly. And with the IW5 engine comes IW5 related issues, at least for me and probably a few others. Being picky on this kind of stuff so "bear" with me. The difference between 50FPS and 90FPS is close to none. 1% of the time you actually have a smooth running game, but the rest of it, it will just have laggy animations. No matter what FPS, resolution or other settings. Needs some quick and good optimization, BO2 didn't need any extra optimization when it launched. Mouse stutter/jumping/lag is still a major issue every 10 seconds or so. The netcode seems to be affecting the FPS a lot more than what it did, which is not good.

    Away from PC related issues over to gameplay related issues. The maps are terrible, overly complex. You can get killed from any direction at any point in every map. There's no linear way of playing the maps. Feels also like every time I run/walk around, I either get killed from behind or the 2 other directions that I can't keep control over at the same time, or I run into some enemy 5 feet away from me, which results in whoever got the better ping or the most FPS or the least stutter lag, gets the kill. The sniper "multilayered" scope would actually be nice if it actually did a smooth transition every time, or that it didn't half my FPS every time I used it. They've realized that the crosshair on a sniper is useless, so they've removed it, which seems to have revoked my horrible skills at quickscoping, but if someone puts the crosshair back in some or other way, it's actually worse than before. The snipers are ridiculously powerful and accurate. All the guns seems balanced enough, or rather, overpowered enough, haven't seen anything ridiculously overpowered yet, other than the snipers. Also, when you kill someone or you get killed, you won't get the playercard popping up, which is annoying because i want to clearly see who i killed or who killed you. You have to wait for the killcam, which I always skip.

    Tl;dr, good singleplayer game, not a good multiplayer game, really laggy, lots of reoccurring issues from MW3, a game that had big potential to compete with MW2.

    The audio is a joke as the only option is a slider for min or max. Nothing else.

    I'm a hardcore CoD gamer that loves to compete to be the best, but with all these new "innovations" it has become impossible to get more than one kill without dying. Its an endless cycle; you run around, kill, get killed, then run around kill and get killed some more. The only way to get a +1,5 k/d is by camping, but I don't have time to waste my life hiding in a corner.

The only way to get a +1,5 k/d is by camping, but I don't have time to waste my life hiding in a corner. This game just doesn't require skill anymore.
    I was also very disappointed with the "customize your soldier", I was expecting something along the lines of rainbow six ,but it was more like GTA 4's customization options; barely anything to choose from.
    My major complaint though is the removal of Search and Destroy from pub games, I used to love playing Search and Destroy with my team, now its been replaced by this stupid search and kill confirm game type.
    The series sure went down hill after they fired West and Zampella. MW2 was a masterpiece, after that, it was the same call of duty trash. The series has officially died for me. Time to move on. Looking forward to Titan fall, which IMO is the true successor to MW2.

    Let's do this nice and easy: re-used assets everywhere, graphics look like CoD4 with better shaders & lighting, gameplay wise is absolute giving more advantages to players than ever before, terrible level design, annnnnnd so much more.

    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.

    (This comes from a hardcore CoD player and modder.)

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is the latest installment of the call of duty series, it has a new engine that is beautiful but in the same time odd. I was impressed by the particle effects (from the grenades etc) but what disappointed me was the story. It was weak, I didn't feel like it was something to me. It didn't feel I cared about anyone in the "Ghosts". In the beginning when you are being dragged to the car you can remember that animation from MW2 ending which is a CTRL C CTRL V like. Graphics overall is a 7/10 for me since it's unoptimized as The single-player as I said was weak, I would give it a 5/10. There was one scene when Logan and Hesh's father showed who he really was. Then Hesh said "Wait you are from the ghosts" in a stupid, horrific bad way. So I can say that the voice acting is a bit i'll give it a 6/10.
    Multiplayer is, of course the same thing every time. Just with new weapons, maps, AND SPAWNS that will literary piss you off so much the same way I have done the last two days...
    Conclusion: The game does not deserve its price tag at 59.99 Euros. It's not worth the money and wait till it's on sale if you want it. This is a big disappointment as the trailer looked good. Avoid the game until sales. I am giving this game a 4/10 because of some good improvements but still negative sides win.

    I think currently people are just hating on it because it is Call Of Duty Ghosts I'm willing to bet most of the users here haven't even played that game. Suprisely this one has the most changes they have ever done to Call Of Duty with new very much needed customised improvements to the multiplayer meaning more time and thought process is needed for designing your classes as now you can make a class and not get away with it like in past Call Of Duty games.

    The campaign is short but has a much more interesting story and some impressive scenes and level design.

    I think people are confused to why they hate Call Of Duty. I believe the reason you hate it is because you think it is ruining the gaming industry when it is just its own game series that has done nothing wrong (Out side of their series) its the developers trying to make their games like Call Of Duty that are ruining their own games and their own series to try and win over some of the Call Of Duty players when I think that if they did something different that Call Of Duty this might bring them over as its not just more Call Of Duty. So don't blame Call of Duty for your game series going to (Halo4 my opinion) blame the ones trying to make it like Call Of Duty.

    Give this game a try you might surprise yourself they did a good job this time round.

    Gameplay wise, especially in multiplayer, call of duty has gone back to it's simpler roots. Customization in classes has been brought back a notch, only allowing 3 perks like in the old days. This is a good thing, since making a class with 9 perks and a knife, or 7 perks and a sniper with 2 attachments is well beyond the scope of the game, and the FPS genre. (take a hint here, Treyarch). One important thing that I noticed while playing: the FOV is very low, severely limiting spotting abilities on your sides, as well as in the distance.
    In terms of performance, the game is pretty average. I would've liked to see a more linear connection between performance hit and graphical improvement, and many others will agree on that. Still, I see Ghosts as a welcome addition to the series, and should capture the hearts of many games once again, that stopped caring after MW2 (like myself. I did play the later games, but remained unimpressed).

    The graphics definitely became better than previous CoDs. Some missions are purely amazing (especially underwater one), but some of them are absolutely boring. Bottom line, single-player campaign is more interesting than in BF4 for sure.

    This game was developed for the ancient xbox hardware, so it is retarded programming that current PCs should be able to handle easily.

    So, this is my 3rd COD. The first one MW1 and I did not like it. So I skipped the whole series for a long time. Then BO2 was realeased, I bought it and enjoyed it. It was really good game (and still is). So I decided to pre-order Ghosts.
    It was HUGE mistake.

    At this moment this game is like any f2p fps in beta stage. The performance is a joke, graphics is ok, but map design and/or fx makes that it's really hard to spot an enemy (at least at forest and winter maps the game is so bad, that I didnt check any others). I smell campfest.
    Next thing is FOV, locked to 65. Also imo this game is not as fast as BO2 is. It's bugged, slow, campy piece of garbage.

    The gameplay is non innovative. Making this game no better than an expansion pack of MW3 at best. It will feel like more of the same, or perhaps less of the same in some cases. The new kinds of maps that you have to 'learn what the map can do' has very limited implementation and doesn't affect game play in any way.

    CoD might be fun for casual players who just want to play the same game they have been playing for years, with nearly the same quality of graphics, and nearly the same gameplay. It is just an over priced map pack. Nothing about this title lives up to the "Next Gen" promise, and is not worth the price tag. I have no idea what they spent that blockbuster budget on. Donuts maybe.

Then I saw the rubber banding when I was 10 ft around cover and suddenly die. Then I realized that secondary weapons are pointless unless you're out of ammo in your primary because you die so ridiculously fast in this game that weapon switching during a firefight just means you're already dead. It's just like any of the other modern warfare series of games. Treyarch really stepped up with blops 1 and then again with blops 2. And yet these idiots at Infinity Ward just screw it all up and take 10 steps back from what Treyarch was doing with PC CoD.
    I'm so disappointed after only 3 hours of playing I have no desire to pick this game up again. Everything that was good about Infinity Ward is now over at Respawn making Titanfall anyways. Maybe they will blow CoD away and people will look back and remember this series that took advantage of so many players. How they promised the world and barely gave us anything when it came time to deliver. CoD is officially a two year title for me from now on as long as Infinity Ward keeps bring this crap in the off season. I'll support Treyarch as long as they continue to do what they promise.

    Is there at least a Field of View slider? Of course not! Four Delta One had PC gamer's backs with a FOV slider for Ghosts available on their website, but everyone's favorite publisher, Activision, took it down. Now PC gamers are stuck with 65 FOV and it is making my head hurt. I'm now going to request a refund from Steam. I've been scammed by Activision yet again.

    - 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

I can understand why some people may be upset as there are some problems that may affect them but they should be patched soon. In the meantime there are 3rd party fixes like the fovely FOV changer which allows you to change the FOV in multiplayer. Fingers crossed the problems get patched soon because this is a great game that everyone should be playing.

    I can't speak for console players but as a PC player since the early DOS games this is a shameful example of the utter contempt some game developers have for the platform that launched the Call of Duty franchise many years ago.

    I could list all the faults but it's simply not fit for purpose. FPS artificially capped, FOV limited to a ridiculously tiny setting, poor performance on high end systems, sloppy map design, poor gameplay but they all pale into insignificance compared to the fact it's quite simply a really poor game.

I cranked everything up on high and the game looked like garbage and ran terribly. I hope this is a reality check to the CoD franchise. This game is trash and they should be embarassed by their game. Jesus I can't believe I lost $60 dollars to you guys...I skippedI knew the graphics weren't going to be really any better...I was ok with that...but they actually got worse....much worse.

Jesus I can't believe I lost $60 dollars to you guys...I skipped out on MW3 and BO2 because your games started to become garbage...I was hoping that with the next-gen you would turn it around and you could not have failed more massively I'm absolutely done with your dog video games....

    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.
