    6) I keep losing connection to host, this literally happens every 10mins
    7) Clipping issues, I have multiple screenshots of multiplayer games where I have fallen through the ground and gotten stuck at the bottom of the map
    8) Lag Lag Lag, this is probably the biggest problem I have with this game. Everything is so damn laggy. The lag compensation in this game is just ridiculous.

    It's a shame I was really looking forward to this game, I'm hoping they fix these problems but until then this game is just a waste of money for me    … Expand

    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.

I am disappointed and angry at myself for being careless enough to purchase this steaming heap of cow manure. Fair warning, if you are considering to pick this game up, don't, treat yourself to a nice dinner or movie instead.

    I finished the single player campaign in under four hours and was underwhelmed, with hopes that the multiplayer components would at least be something that I would enjoy. I was dead wrong.

    Let's list my major qualms:
    -Graphics are dismal, especially in light of the poor performance. Poor texture quality, modeling, animation, artistic design and use of effects. The game has a plastic-like look to it and frankly looks like a 360 or PS3 launch title with everything turned up to maximum quality.
    -Performance is unbelievably bad on my high end(780, i7 2600k at 3,4 Ghz, 16gb RAM)machine, framerate varies from 240 to under 30 FPS.
    -Gameplay just feels wrong, especially in multiplayer it just seems 'off', meaning that the gunplay is inaccurate and not enjoyable.
    -The multiplayer side of things is just horrible, right now, bit for bit, I find Black Ops 2 to be a more enjoyable game.

    The only positive thing I have to say about the game is the cinematic music for the single player missions. It made the loose drivel of a plot playable and added some much needed dramatic qualities and emotions to the wooden animation.

    To sum it up, this game is a joke. Right now there are so many better alternatives for a first person shooter, both single- and multiplayer, that I highly recommend not buying this piece of garbage. Having bought the game at full retail value, I feel like someone who bought a ticket to a Metallica concert and ended up watching an out of tune high school cover band.    … Expand

    I played Black Ops 2 with all Settings on ultra with about 160fps. Battlefield 4 Beta with around 100fps.
    Now here comes Ghosts. It doesnt look too sexy at high details but even at ulta low settings it has a framerate from under 60.

    So i just payed 119$ for the Hardened Edition of an ALPHA VERSION GAME. Plus additional 80$ for upgrading my RAMs to a level that isn't necessary.
    There was no open Beta because this f**** game is ALPHA. It would be a Beta if we could discuss things like balancing the multiplayer but you cant even play this game anyway.

    I have played every Call of Duty game since Modern Warfare 2 and I have loved the franchise very much for a long time. I was therefore very excited for Ghosts, but that excitement quickly went away after I got to play it. Let me walk you through some of it:

    First of all, the graphics. The textures, the maps and the basic graphic fidelity is so bad it literally looks like the game was    I have played every Call of Duty game since Modern Warfare 2 and I have loved the franchise very much for a long time. I was therefore very excited for Ghosts, but that excitement quickly went away after I got to play it. Let me walk you through some of it:

    First of all, the graphics. The textures, the maps and the basic graphic fidelity is so bad it literally looks like the game was made for release in 2003. That's no joke, the graphics actually hurt my eyes. The colors used are basically black and grey, everywhere, plus lots of smoke and a bland, boring landscape. I was actually looking for excuses to turn my face away from the screen, repeatedly checking my phone just to be able to look at something better than this game's graphics.

    Secondly, we were promised a next-gen game, with dynamically-evolving maps. The game has absolutely no feeling of being any next-gen anything. In fact, this can be described as moving backwards. Some of the maps are recognizable; they have been used before in previous Call of Duty titles, with tweaks made here and there. The only dynamically-changing events are that at some rare times in a match, something will fall down. That's about it. I feel especially lied to considering how Infinity Ward specifically stated the game would use a new engine, but then months later, a comment was made by them that the engine was the same as always, just upgraded. Frankly, I don't see any upgrades. This is the same engine, and we were lied to.

    Third, I believe in giving credit where credit is due. The game has improved upon previous titles in two areas: A brand new weapon and perk system, in which you can unlock items for Squad Points (which seem to be given to you randomly during a match, for no good reason) before actually hitting a required level the way previous titles did. This means it's easier to get the weapons and other firepower that you like. In addition, Ghosts gives you a certain number of available perk spots. On the perk menu, you are free to choose exactly the ones you want, without having to select one from each perk category. However, keep in mind some of the perks require 2, 3, 4 or 5 spots while others only need 1. This new weapon and perk system is an improvement, but not enough to make up for the cons this game suffers from.

    Fourth, no matter how good your gaming rig is, you will suffer from performance errors. The game crashes, it has performance problems such as skipping frames, lagging, tearing and repeated major drops in frames-per-second. I have a brand new high-end gaming laptop, and upon starting the game, without having entered an actual lobby, it even had significant problems adjusting the settings in the Options menu (which, by the way, shouldn't be called "Options" because you get no options). All of these problems cause an actual match to be more useless than useful, and you will find yourself hating the game more and more after each round. You will end up getting so frustrated, you look for something better, anything at all, to do, rather than playing this game.

    Fifth, I don't commonly like to say someone just "threw something together and called it a day", but this is exactly the impression I have for Ghosts. The game is not done. Far from it. It wouldn't ever be done the way it is constructed. Modern Warfare 2, which is several years old now, looks like a futuristic monster game of awesomeness compared to this.

    This game is terrible. It is not worth your money. Don't trust me because I say bad things about it, trust me because I have happily bought every Call of Duty title annually and this will be my last Call of Duty title the way it has completely disappointed me. I feel ripped off, genuinely ripped off big-time. The game is a joke, and a big middle-finger from the developers and publishers to the PC players. You'd have a better time staring at a wall, as you wouldn't be as frustrated about the game as I am, and your wallet would also feel better. Do yourself a favor, and do not get this game. Thank you for your time.    … Expand

    They created a artificial wall to the game, because the game doesn't actually use or require a full 6gb of ram. They bloated their specs so they could look like they were competing on a graphical scale of BF4. (which by the way, BF4 doesn't block you if you have 4gb of ram, plus it looks better and has bigger maps)

    This is a sad day, Ghost is a MW3 clone but with much more to hate.
    So many problems with everything, sure they will probably fix some of the problems but knowing the "COD TEAM" they will start working on the "NEXT GEN COD" in about 2 week and ignore this =)

    No thanks, this is where I leave the train, back to MW2 and BO I go.

    Худшая игра 2013 года. Я и не сомневался.
    Все фишки, представленные в BO 2, разработчики засунули себе в жопу и не захотели высовывать от туда, именно по этому COD Ghosts наилучший пример отвратительного шутера со скучным сюжетом, ужасающей графикой (некст ген!!!) и наихудшей оптимизацией ЕВЕР.

    Worst of all is that people ACTIVISION has the shamelessness to sell this! An unfinished ALFA smelling a game port of XBOX 360 made ​​reluctantly All whores promises that this would be a major change in the CoD series and more on the PC version has come to nothing.

    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.

Unfortunately Riley is quite a heavy eater, allegedly consuming an extra 32GB of your precious hard drive space and a beefy 5.5GB of extra RAM over Call of Duty 4.

    As per all recent games in the franchise the campaign is action packed, totally over the top and making no sense what so ever, just run and shoot and you will do fine... That being said I did somewhat enjoy the campaign. Unfortunately after those short six hours of fun that's where things stop being slightly entertaining. Multiplayer is the exact same as usual, an absolute hell-hole.

    Now the one good thing about this game is that it keeps all the immature teeny boppers away from other games, kudos Activision.

    Eventually Infinity Ward decided to share some information and stated that there would be Dedicated Servers used on all platforms from launch, with Rentable Servers coming post launch and at that point I jumped on the the game because I thought to myself, finally a real replacement for the legendary Call Of Duty Modern Warfare had arrived and the even more legendary Call Of duty 2, which are both amazing games on the PC in this series.

    When the release day came I was like most people all excited to play, but to my utter disappointment the game had so many issues that it was almost impossible to play despite my pc specs being way above anything that a Call Of Duty game could ever require with it's engine.

    The first thing I was greeted by was Blue Screens Of Death as soon as I launched the campaign, multiplayer, squads and extinction modes and I honestly thought there was something wrong with my hardware or drivers, but no it was nothing to do with that as I launched each part of the game again and they launched without a issue.

    However what then greeted me was lag on the menu system, I mean come on how poor does the coding of the game have to be if it is lagging on the menu system so bad, that it takes 10 minutes to change a few graphical options from low to high, and to change a few key bindings.

    I pushed on though and eventually after 30 minutes from initially trying to get in to the game, I was able to get in to my very first game of Call Of Duty Ghosts and oh my what a sight!

    It was so glorious to look at a game that, was released in 2013 and see the same graphical quality of a game that was released in 2002 that I had to sit back and just marvel at the improvements that had been made in 11 years, I mean the details looked like they were made by people in there in there first year of game development school, and I must say here and now I am not a game developer nor do I have the skill, ability or time to develop a game but seeing the likes of the Unreal and Crytek SDK are available I may have to look in to developing a game, since I don't think I could do much worse than this disaster that is called Call Of Duty Ghosts.

    I played my first game though and I stunk really bad, nearly every single bullet I shot at people didn't register. I was left wondering to myself is this another Black Op's 2 where the higher the ping you have the better your experience is, and I thought it cannot be the same we are supposed to be on Dedicated Servers and Infinity Wards net coding is always better than Treyarchs, so I left that game and joined another only to find the same thing happened.

    At this point I played some of the campaign, but thanks to the crashes and the reseting of saves so I had to start the levels all over again each time I completed a level, so I gave up on that and left it alone.

    By this point I was pretty much ready to call it quits on this game, but I though no I have paid good money for this game so lets give it a try.

    I went back on to multiplayer only to be greeted by yet more lag on the menu system, bullets not registering and lag in the multiplayer games themselves, and I thought to myself wtf is going on, why are the servers lagging and then bang "lost connection to host" and I was thrown out of dreamland and in to reality, the game is not using dedicated servers it's using the peer to peer system called IWnet, the lag infested, cheating paradise with no admins to clear the cheaters out.

    I then tried another couple of games to see if it was a mistake or someone was running a hack that allowed them to host games, but no the next couple of days proved we are not on dedicated servers.

    The official call of duty forums for the pc gamers are flooded with reports of cheaters, bugs, requests and all sorts of other things, but the developers seem to not be interested in that or even letting people know they are aware of the issues instead, all you here from them is "xbox this, xbox that"

    At the moment this game is a complete disaster, my pc should be walking all over this game but no it's lagging, stuttering and crashing and with no hope in sight I think this will be the last call of duty game I buy again.

    The game by January will have less players than Black Op's 2 and that had the lowest player count of any call of duty game to date, and Black Op's 2 at this point in it's life had double the pc players that ghosts has now.

    Infinity Ward have not only released a sub par product to the consumers, but they are also not supporting the consumers.

    Infinity Ward stated this game would be the best looking call of duty game to date on the pc, but Modern Warfare 2 looks better. Infinity Ward said the game would use dedicated severs but it's not.

    All I can say is do not contemplate buying this on the pc as it's just unplayable in it's current state!    … Expand

    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.

    Visually it's ok in some areas, and terrible in others. The gameplay is woeful. NPCs push you along corridors, and run in front of your line of fire. Chunks of exploding concrete fly right through you. It literally feels like you're not in the game. As if no one else is aware that you're even there. Quite frankly abysmal.

    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.

    As for the dog. LOL. Half the time it looks like it's on a skate board. Terrible animation.

    In summary, this game looks bad, plays bad, and is just plain bad. Any publication giving it more than a 3 is simply not being honest. Next gen?! It looks like a game from 2008 with upgraded textures, and plays like one from...well...your worst nightmare. Do not pour your money down the drain. I have never before now purchased a game and felt like a refund. Call of duty Ghosts is RUBBISH.

On max resolution the game still looks like im running a tiny window and looks worse than 720p quality. I've played 2 multiplayer games (didnt bother with campaign for once) and first game ffa there was a hacker (all perks and wallhacks obviously) second game tdm the game mode is absolute trash, minimap does nothing but alert of nearby gunfire you dont see your teammates (i.e. a green tag above them) you must zoom in to see which is completely illogical seeing as you wont know whether to shoot or not. sound quality is beyond terrible, cannot hear anything but gunfire and the announcer. Severely disappointing, will never buy a call of duty game ever again and I'll prefer to stick to a company that does not stab its employees in the back, most likely will buy titanfall from the pioneers of cod 4 and mw2.
    Not only this but in the second game i played the game froze and crashed with no reason, so I'm just gonna play Battlefield 4 now and actually have an enjoyable time.

This game is obviously a port from the console version of the game. iW have tried to make the CoD franchise better by adding in new features such as Extinction (which is a rip off of zombies from Treyarch games, and is terrible), and squads (which is also terrible and boring. 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

    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

    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.
