    I am not trolling nor am i a punk kid, this game looks terrible, plays terrible, ai is abysmal im a campaign guy multiplayer is no fun anymore, between the cheaters and the punk kids, its just not worth it.

    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.

    Hate me if you will or even remove my thread if you're a mod but you can't deny I have good reasons to be disappointed. Only CoD game that I thought was bad so far was MW 3 but this one is a piece of trash !!

    Well, it's hideous even though I run it on high specs I run Battlefield 4 on ultra but I have to run this on high, what the I wanted to make a screenshot but steam doesn't let me do screenshots in this game probably because IW didn't want to see their BS get viral so more people buy this. IT LOOKS WORSE THAN BLACK OPS 2 AND RUN WORSE. SERIOUS HERE.
    It plays like It keeps crashing, lagging, kicking out of matches, freezing and what-not. Mouse-accel checked. Getting shoot from nowhere checked. Invincible lagged enemies- checked. Everything you can imagine is bad for an FPS game is there in force !!
    No FOV slider for PCs 60 FOV is about 1/3 of normal human FOV and 1/2 of what previous CoDs and every decent FPS there offers. It makes the game super-easy for campers, and you get continously shot from the sides and back. Of course there is FOV option in-game but IW decided to block that for PCs, probably because they hate PC players.
    Killstreak rewards are super-boring compared to the old cod games. Oracle system? Really, a built-in wallhack? You gotta be kidding me here IW. It's not exactly OP it is just extremely annoying when enemy got Oracle, and you (usually) don't know about it. Guard dogs that kill you from 6 meters? Lol and I thought the K9 was OP, and that was for almost 20 kills, not freaking 6 kills like in Ghosts. Every killstreak reward out there is either OP, or boring, or both. I don't realy have incentive to obtain them.
    The maps. Well the maps are bigger and I really like that. The dynamic element that was added is also good. Too bad they are still "1 step forward, 2 step backwards". Why? Because most of the maps are camper's heaven especially with 60 FOV madness. In BLOPS 2 campers were a rare occurance here they are on every server.
    No dedicated servers bad net-code. You are constantly thrown into lagged hell, or can't connect at all. Needless to say it's another middle finger pointed towards PC players by infinity ward.
    Squad mode is a joke, I am not sure why they put that in, it was a waste of time and code. Those are nothing more than bot matches, with crappy AI as usual, but they net you same XP as multiplayer matches. What the f... !?
    About the campaign, well it's barely playable, much more unstable than multiplayer. I managed to play through a large part of it, and it's the same as every CoD. A few new tricks here and there, but it's the same run'n'gun as always. Except it's even shorter, takes about 6 hours to beat if you are not constanly crashing like I do. 6 hours of decent fun for 60 Lol no thanks.

    Overall there are some good things to say about CoD. Like bigger maps or new game modes. But this is all nothing compared to massive problem cod has, caused by activision incredible level of greed and iw's hate towards PC players.
    Should you buy it If you are a dumb CoD fanboy, yes. If you are a CoD fan, No, you will be disappointed If you like FPS in general, No, stick to Battlefield or CS:GO or previous CoD games just not this one.
    My score to this piece of trash is 3/10, for an AAA game this is terrible, not worth half of that cash.    … Expand

    Please stop bringing the FPS genre down.
    This has to stop.
    Retarded unbalanced multiplayer with no design effort whatsoever and pretty much insults your intelligence, and a singleplayer not even worth mentioning.

    I bought this serie because I have all of Call Of Duty series. Also I missing "FOV" changer, dedicated server (but it is too much for infinityward). Very laggy game, when is bad host you can play like a best skiller on the world, but you dont have any chance to kill somebody.

    One of the worst CoD of the whole series. MP sucks. SP sucks.
    Sound and weapons are always the same in every damn CoD, they have to change that or they will continue missing players...

    The storyline was quite meh, not even close to MW and or even Black Ops series.
    Now that i finished it, this will return to ''Not Installed'' games and i'll go back to Black Ops 2 MP.

    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.

There isn't a single good thing about it. The multiplayer is buggy, the Performance is TERRIBLE, and overall, it's a very bad game.
