    First of all I want to say that I only played campaign and I found it pretty great, to be honest one of the most interesting stories I've ever played. Definitely not any worse then last CODs.

    Also they've had improved a lot over last COD(And I played them all), but I can't say that it's next gen, just an decent update to last CODs engine.

    Not counting, money grabbing and lying publisher, Infinity Ward did a great job on this one. Definitely recommending.

    To children you are ruining only metacritic. If you don't like the game, then vote with your wallet(parents wallet).

    Game is not even out yet on PS4 and tons of 0.

    I think that Metacritic should learn from youtube and create like and dislike buttons. Results are too extreme, because children don't know how to create a score.    … Expand

    I decided not to pre-order this game for so long, due to no information being given around the server system on the pc.

    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

I would have loved to enter an old mansion with spooky ghosts inside and blast them with machine guns.

    This is mainly based on the Multiplayer experience since this is what most people buy the game for. The engine has not been updated since MW1 and I believe that Infinity Ward tried to compensate this with making too many changes, changes to the maps are the biggest let down for me, they have WAY too many long corridors and fields making it nearly impossible to achieve your killstreak.

The new game modes are terrible, the Soldier system is overly complicated. The experience is just not there anymore. Activation needs to take a step back and take a break for a year or two so they can come up with something good, if another COD comes out next year, the best thing we can do as gamers who want quality games is to not buy it!

    While multiplayer and the new modes are great. The singleplayer feels mostly stagnant and still feels like it was an after thought. Which is not all to surprising considering Call Of Duty is best known for its Multiplayer.

    Releasing old maps (AND MAKING PEOPLE PAY!) Bobby Kottick is the greediest, most arrogant, bad from hair to toe, CEO I have ever seen. Release ALL old maps remade or not in every COD. NO FEE. Get DLC frequency near 2/year. 10-15 maps each, 20$. STOP with the killstreaks!

    I thought it went FULL ret**d after MW2, but now it's just spamming the word "BOOM" "FIRE" "EXPLOSION" everywhere on the map. It went from COD4 PROMOD fast paced, balanced (1 heli at the time...) to
    MW2 2 years later,
    retar**d rush with knives, can't go outside (too many killstreak), some a**hole getting 25-0, and since he obviously ain't good enough let's give him a nuke so he can stop everyone fun...

    Play Cod Switch brain to off, keep running, don't aim, don't bother about teammates, K/D> fun.

Others are complaining about some settings that they haven't changed. People are comparing Call of Duty BO2 with Ghosts made by two different companies. It is true that some things could be better like for example the drivers that NVIDIA released to be used with Call of Duty if you use a GTX card 460 and older in sli. Don't forget this game needs already an 450gt or higher to be aible to play on low or higher upwards. If you don't have this get a new graphic card or don't complain.

    Ok now about the game:

    Single Player

    The Dog
    The single player doesn't show a very clear story line and jumps a little from one to the other story. It isn't a straight story line. The way how they introduce us to the dog is really nice. I felt moments that I really wanted to fight harder to safe the dog. Ofcourse if you don't like dogs this is different.

    The Intel
    Easier to find this time and a want to try.

    The Graphics.
    I don't see the problem with the graphics. We have always known that battlefield has better graphics. Cod is more a feeling and a lot of gameplay fun.

    If I look back to Call of Duty 1
    I really miss the bunnyhopping ;)
    They worked against the bunnyhopping and you can't jump easy away like in previous versions.

    Sliding and climbing over walls while shooting.
    A more lifelike feeling is that you now can utilize your weapon while your doing things and it doesn't just show only your hands.

    The Clan feature and Team
    You now can create your own team and combat with them against others.
    Also you can use your friends created team to help you out.
    The clan is something you create yourself with your know friends. Ofcourse I think that cod is still one of the best in you wanting to play with your friends together.

    Multiplayer.
    At this moment I think that the needed requirements to play cod mp is a little to high. People are using cracks to be aible to play the game on lower then 6gb ram. Also the high Graphic Card needs are a little over the top. This brings a lot of problems ingame at this moment. I needed to upgrade from two 460 gtx sli to 1 760 GTX. Ok the cards are 3 years old but then still I think they should work good. This ofcourse has to do with my own money I want to pay to play. This is also the only thing that gives me a -1 thought. The game itself is again a good nice COD. (If you read COD you don't read battlefield or CS:GO, that is a different metacritic page     … Expand

    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.

In my view,I think that the graphical performance of ghosts are worse than the graphical performance in black ops 2 in same setting.So that means I use a worse graphical performance to exchange a lower fps???I beg you Activision,next time,when you try to transform Xbox version to PC version,do some things,at least,no lag everywhere please!… Expand

Oh yeah I also have to hand it to Infinity Ward for making the worst pc port I have ever come across. Its insulting to say the least. I turned on V-sync and the level I was on had to reload everything again. What the hell? There are stutter issues. Loading issues. Erratic framerate issues. The game is bad. I didnt even bother with multiplayer because we all know what thats like anyway.… Expand

    Congrats on ruining yet another episode of this once great franchise. Multiplayer should be called Black Ops 2.1. Are you kidding me? Have the developers not played MW2 or MW3 infinity wards last two games? What a f*cking joke. Last time you'll get my money. I give you 1 point for extinction, which is a rip off of the many "Killing Floor" type games so nothing that you guys have inventedCongrats on ruining yet another episode of this once great franchise.

At least I'll get $9.99 worth from the game.… Expand

    This is one of the worst games I've played Technically not work well, you can not correctly choose the language you need (separate switch between subtitles and audio), random FPS drops, and Next generation engine? my ass looks the same as always (they just increased the resolution of some textures) CHEATERS!. Very bad production...

    Burn in hell Infinity Ward.

    Complete garbage. Terrible console port with horrid FPS drops, a FOV that actually makes you sick, 10 year old graphics, an unforgivable P2P connection for multiplayer instead of dedicated servers. Easily the worst in the entire series. Don't waste your money, the game will be dead online within a month. Now to await until March for Titanfall. Will play    Burn in hell Infinity Ward.

    I think Activision would be best creating an excellent next gen engine, with 20 map packs, and then sell map packs every 3 or 6 months and call It Call Of Duty Online, they could then actually bring new maps instead of keep recycling the old ones. Then when they sell so many copies, we get rewarded with improved old maps from previous games for free.

Then when they sell so many copies, we get rewarded with improved old maps from previous games for free. They could also sell the story in chapters like half life (as Ghosts feels like a chapter from Half Life 2 at only 5 hours long not a full fledged AAA title, which should last 12 16 hours). Please keep away from this game its to buggy, and Multiplayer looks awful with no dedicated servers etc,. I've cancelled my season pass on steam and am currently demanding my money back as the game is still in Beta stage...........with sound clicks, corrupt textures and game freezes.

    I am amazed how much Activision have got out of the WOW engine     … Expand

    With a name like 'GHOSTS' I expected there it to be more of a stealth FPS. But over complicated gear selection, buggy gameplay, kills are WAY too easy (2 bullets), boring kill streaks, (dogs are stupid). Overall I enjoyed Black Ops multiplayer a lot more.

If you enjoy the thrill of actually staying alive for a decent period of time, driving to avoid grenades, a chance of survival in a gun battle then this game isn't for you. GHOSTS does have cool maps.. but you are reduced to sprinting around with a Uzi racking up kills and dying at breakneck speed so the maps are not utilised at all. Very disappointed.… 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.
