    Well, perhaps in front of us the best representative of a series of call of duty!
    Not looking for a fairly short story that can be completed in four hours at Infinity Ward to get a high-quality blockbuster each subsequent misiya not like the previous, cool graphics and plenty of modes for multiplayer. In general, the game was cool but not without faults that...

    The game is fun, but lacking. Elements of epic but now IW (the devs Infinity Ward) are ripping of Black Ops II's zombies with the Extinction mode. Sad.

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

    Call of Duty is not a bad game. But the reason it is so popular is because it has not changed for at least the past 2 or 3 games. They use the same engine which makes textures look outdated.

    FOV-slider? No, They did not include one. The fact that this is missing in such a big game proves IW's lazyness. And proves again that the PC version is a complete console rip-off.

    SLI-videocards still aren't patched. People that play with cards such as the GTX590 (a few years ago a flagship) for example, can't play this game normally without all the textures flickering.

    To prove this game is even more a console rip-off: If you put a xbox controller in your PC, you would get aim assist.....

    Well, the multiplayer is one big joke. They overcimplicated the perk system, deleted the imense popular game mode "search and destroy" and replaced it with a lame version of it. This means that the game hasn't got a single one "no respawn" game mode. Also lag is still an big issue, especially when you play with parties. The game randomly crashes and in my case the game delivers every 30 minutes max a bluescreen of death.

    Well with so much wrong and almost 2 months after launch you should have expected some patches that fixed some of these things. Especially because they promised better PC-support. Now what exactly of what I described above did they patch? Nothing, not a single THING. nada noppes zilch.

    IW has lost a fan this year, better wait for BO3 guys, atleast Treyarch puts some effort in the PC version... And while all these problems in Ghosts continue the team over at IW is laughing their asses of and already making trailers for their "DLC" wich is probably going to be just as bad as the game.

    For IW: If you want to make a respected game, simply listen to the PC community. But even if the entire community screams of horror about your game. you guys will still change nothing. Maybe this will help you renember: You make the game for the people right? So why don't you listen to the people? It's more becoming a hobby for you guys to make worse games every year.    … Expand

    Typical dull and repetitive rubbish that seemed like it was dreamt up by some gun toting conspiracist. Poorly ported over to the computer and the campaign is just short of an arcade gun game. Don't bother spending your money on another one of these assembly line made games. They think they can just pour all their money into the graphics department, but that is not how games should be made.

Now this is a new feeling I have felt for a call of duty game, they are normally well polished and pretty solid but it fails to deliver on one of it's core selling points. I am constantly being shot around corners and spawned directly in front of my greedy enemies sights. I'm not even going to delve into the abysmal port or various missing necessary and expected settings options. (No field of view option, really?). Also I don't think the campaign deserves a mention, I have precisely 14 minutes on record and that was the opening cut scene when I accidentally downloaded the single player. I thought I was never going to have my PC back. But if your really desperate for some fast mindless action and don't mind a bit of BS then be my guest and go for it. All I'm saying is that they better produce something pretty damn fine next year otherwise there profits might dwindle. Anyway I'm sticking to COD4 and MW2 for now.… Expand

If you want to play this game, just buy an Xbox 360/One, or a PS3/4, it'll be a lot cheaper to buy one of those consoles than to upgrade your PC to be able to play Call of Duty: Ghosts. I have no Idea how Activision/Infinity Ward even let this game be released in such a state, it really feels like I've been ripped off. I have always bought Call of Duty games, and thoroughly enjoyed each one because it fits my play style. I only buy the games if they're on sell because, everyone knows, they're repetitive. So buying them cheap, to avoid a bad buy, but this game is a whole different boat. It deliberately felt like they just released it in its current state just to bring in some extra money on top of what they got from the console releases.

    I'm going to give this game a 0, because with my current rig, which is really good, I simply cannot even play the game. The FPS stutter/drop is happening every 1-3 seconds, and lasts 1-3 seconds. I can't even aim, and I can't even run in a straight line. you Activision/Infinity Ward, this is the last time I ever give you money. Take your decline in sales, and teach your ****ing employee's how to code and optimize games.    … Expand

    Ok so I already reviewed this game and originally gave it a 1 as my first impressions warranted that. I have spent the last few days playing (all night I might add) as I couldn't figure out what it was I was doing wrong to get so many deaths.

Now I am not a great COD player but on Blops 2 I'll rarely go neg but Ghosts was just fishy I was getting killed so much.

    I do still stand on my point that it is not next gen but it is an improvement ie we have prettier maps albeit not up to par of what other games have and are doing. Super fast reactions as well as a good knowledge of maps seem to be extremely important in doing well. Staying together as a team also seems to work well.

    I from my experience have had more then just a handful of games/deaths where I'm almost certain aimbots and other hacks are being used. This is not a small problem but quite common compared to Black Ops where I didnt have consistent problems.

    I feel this game actively promotes camping with way too many little corners which allow people to hide with nothing but one point to aim at. Now I know there is always a corner in COD maps which can be abused but were talking not one two or three but multiples on every map.

    When I first heard about bigger maps I thought great. That was until I played on them and found that the action would be miles away with no enemies in sights. Until next minutes when there everywhere and I get killed 3 times in a row.

    Onto my last point as I could go on forever but the spawn system is not just bad, terrible but flawed from the very ground up. If you cannot implement a system where by you are not within line of sight and xx metres from a opposite teams player them you should not have released the game. I couldn't believe it when I saw them advertising a DLC map pack after how terrible this game currently and most likely always will be. We should get the DLC for free. Do you actually expect us to buy a DLC after the countless lies. No quick-scoping lie, we'll fix things LIE (you clearly carried on working on DLCs).

    In the future all I can say is I should of listened to the warnings if you can only choose one game to buy my advice is do not buy this one. In all seriousness either buy Black Ops 2 or just wait until the best COD producer Treyarch does next Novembers release. I have faith they will give us what WE want not fish and dog ai that no one cares about.

    I loved COD and IW you have got so big headed that it has blown right up in your face this time when if you had just listened to what your fans said you would of at least made an average game as creativity is not something you do well.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you don't know what Call of Duty is you musta been living under a rock or something.As the tradition says,we get CoD every freakin' year.TBH,CoD has slighty changed every year.And every year it sinks deeper and deeper.After the fenomenal CoD 4 came ALOT of CoD games that were the same.Of course,after Black Ops 2 came out I started thinking that CoD is going in the right direction.Blops2 was pretty damn good.But,that only aplies to Treyarch,beacuse it seems that Infinity Ward just doesn't give a lets see the mess that came from the labs of IW...oh boy...

    Okay,first things first:the graphics.I'm not the graphics guy,but I must say that Blops2 had better graphics (I promise that I will stop comparing these two,okay?).I don't know,just Blops2 had more lively colors,but Ghosts has more of a Grey pallet kinda-thingy.Even the character models look dull (atleast in SP).

    Now,lets talk about gameplay and Singleplayer.Gameplay wise,it's a pretty much the same.There are some cool features in the game (like Riley,sniping with the remote sniper... etc.),but none of these features are that ground breaking...So gameplay is standard.Its fluid,fast,and it can keep you entertained.Okay,now comes the singleplayer.It sucks compared to ANY CoD I played.Every CoD had the singleplayer campaign,which was a short,but pretty epic,experience.Ghosts threw that outta the fooping window!You can predict the games story by just watching the news on TV!So apparently China or whoever stole some nice ODIN equipment blah blah blah EXPLOSIONS,boom boom boom,GUNFIGHTS.Thats the only thing you will experience this time around!The main character is Logan or something which doesn't even talk...I thought we got over that like 5 years ago!Even Blops2(I LIED)hasn't got a main character who doesn't talk¨!You can clearly see that IW was strugling to bring something this time around!Like wtf?So after a while your gonna finish this game...Your dads gonna be killed,Rileys gonna be shot,someones brain fell out when making this game....at the end of this stupid campaign you get a RETARDED cliffhanger,which probally means there is gonna be more of ghosts,which I REALLY hope not.In terms of SP that is.Hey,Jack you retarded say.What about extinction? IN THE SACK.Extinction is zombies but with aliens.SO THAT MEANS IT SUCKS SO BADLY THAT I HAD TO TURN OFF MY PC!Nothing in extinction makes sense!The ONLY good thing is the LOL easter egg,but even that can be boring after 10 minutes UGH!

    Okay,here comes the multiplayer part.Suprisingly enough,there are some pretty cool modes here and there.Like Safeguard,Hunted,Infected etc.The player customization is pretty much THE BEST THING IN THE GAME!woot!*pops confetti*!There is thousands and thousands of possible combinations(you can even be a girl)!There are some special options,like the Ghillie suit,or the ghost mask,or the new ghost mask.Weapons and everything else is standard.But now you can get these tokkens or whatever so you can earn easier,without leveling.Its a nice touch,but it cant fix an ultimately broken game.Maps are bigger which is better and there is A CRAP TONN of 'em.Also some maps can be destroyed in a battlefieldy way...there is a map with a gas station and if you destoy it it blows the up and it changes the gameplay a little bit and it opens new place to camp from.woow...So in conclusion multiplayer is the reason why to buy this game.As for bugs there are few but they are not gamebreaking,apart the ridicolous requerments.The next gen engine is not that much better than the standard engine.
    BUT,there is a thing that bugs me....when they announced Ghosts,I thought this game would be more stealth based.That is a HUGE dissapointment.For me,atleast.

    So in conclusion,this game is not for everyone.For people who want to play the SP are gonna be dissapointed.People who want some nice weekend action,they would probally want to rent it.Only the TRYHARD FANS of CoD are gonna enjoy the game.But hey,that's how Activision makes money,right?    … Expand

Every gun sound sounds like a man groaning edited at different pitches and speeds. Promised dedicated servers nonexistent. Second main character played by worst voice actor I've ever heard. First mission uses reskinned animation from mw2. Multiplayer graphics worse than mw2 (just look at pictures intensely hexagonal tires). Fun new innovative sliding and wall peeking!? Straight from medal of honor series. Explosions look like cartoon fart clouds.Worst purchase of 2013. Biggest money waster of 2013. Almost completely turned me off to video games. Never buying call of duty again.… Expand

    Oh the shame, what happened to this franchise.... It has a become a blatant cash grab. As others have said this is an massive step back from Black Ops 2. And the hype! my god don't believe the hype. For all the complaints that have been railed against BF4, justified or not, this makes that look like a work of art that someone actually put time into!

    Garbage. Absolute garbage. If I wanted to play this game, I'd just play any of the other COD games released every year. This game is EXACTLY the same as the COD games before it. This franchise really needs a breath of fresh air. They need to vary this series from game to game if it is to survive the long haul. Since I have almost nothing positive to say about this game, I will instead putGarbage. Absolute garbage. If I wanted to play this game, I'd just play any of the other COD games released every year. This game is EXACTLY the same as the COD games before it. This franchise really needs a breath of fresh air. They need to vary this series from game to game if it is to survive the long haul. Since I have almost nothing positive to say about this game, I will instead put a list of suggestions here in the hopes that the devs will read my suggestions, which will hopefully at least help in getting their creative juices flowing again because they haven't really added anything worthwhile to this series since COD4.

    -MOAR players in MP! This is one thing I really miss about COD4. I always disliked the ridiculous amount of cheap deaths in the console versions of these games and now the same is true for the PC versions. In COD4 for PC, when there were more players in a match, you would almost always spawn near your own players. This was because the available spawns were limited to somewhere farther away on the map since players on your team were almost always too close to spawn points (which forced the spawn algorithm to avoid using them) behind/near you. This also prevents people from running around too much and getting behind you since being in the open for too long would always lead to a quick death when there were more players in a match.

    -Bigger maps (and ones that make camo/ghillie suits useful the maps in newer games don't seem to have the vegetation that the older games had, meaning ghillie suits were either pointless or not even used in the game).

    -Better sound/graphics. To this day, the greys and dark greens of the old COD's give a much grittier feel. The silly bright colors make it feel too arcadey, and make it seem like a paintball match.

    -Destructible/dynamic environments. Maybe not on the scale of the BF games, but it would add complexity to the gameplay without taking away from the immediate accessibility these games have always had.

    -A WELL WRITTEN storyline that isn't something so Michael-Bay-esque and over-the-top ridiculous, as well as continuity between games (a la Mass Effect).

    -Sandbox elements that still keep the game relatively linear (This is the COD style), while still allowing you to approach a SP Mission the way you want to.    … 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.
