    I am a Call of Duty player and this Call of duty is the worst Call of Duty i've ever played.
    the map design is poor the graphics looks like a game from 2008.
    The game has no FoV changer, you cant configure your Sensitivity normally (choose a number but only a slider). No dedicated servers, no console.

    just a bad game feels like i spent my money on a big garbage game.

    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 agree)

    Call of duty did it again:
    Releasing the same game which naive people will buy again.
    It is a very disappointing game if you played the series for a long time.
    It has almost no innovation at all. The highly praised by the marketing team next gen engine is just a bit prettier than MW3. Single player is decent, but only if you don't get tired of linear map design.

    We have been dooped again from I W. The players still wobble when they run, graphics on highest setting is awe-ful. Has the feeling of the old game with a new map. The physics are crap too. Im pretty sure I will never own another piece of call of duty anything. I am tired of them getting rich off of people like me who work hard and end up with a rummage sale item.

    Game is terrible. Servers are laggy and the multiplayer stinks. As other people have stated the ports suck and they probably just copied the game from consoles. Well looks like I spent $60 for a campaign game I will stick to battlefield from now on lesson learned on this release. Oh and the graphics are terrible.. Your pistol looks ridiculous. Hopefully patches fix this but I doubt it asGame is terrible. Servers are laggy and the multiplayer stinks.

    Awful campaign. Inferior graphics. This is freaking same old game. In summary, pure piece of crap. This ruins the whole COD franchise. 'Ghosts' needs to be busted. It should be executed in the market.

    Meh a bog standard shooter it is dull and has no soul it only saving grace is the verity of game modes. It is worse than Black Ops 2 in most regards and far inferior to Battlefield 4 in every aspect.

    It is graphically dated, preforms abysmally, lacking in options and worse than many free to play games if you want it you want it on console but lets be honest if you want a good shooter

I expect more from what will be the best selling game of the year.

    It's not a bad game, it got a good gameplay, good graphics, good gamemodes BUT (besides the graphics and the Maps) nothing changed... It's just a money-making game right now...

    There is alot of lag, in multiplayer.. ..so quite abit of immersion kill.. even if your rig is well spec'ed not everyone else would be.. so try shooting someone who glitches not quite so fun.. like as if they appear out thin air.. probably where the title got its name??!
    You should really tweak your setting peeps..
    Extinction is pretty good, but there is only one map, unfortunately,

    As or Single player.;. yet to sample properly, but the graphics are decent.. narative is okay so.. not that bad..

    I get the impression they tried to appeal to other fps franchise fans and end up really disappointing their current fan base..
    worth getting: YES
    Worthy additions
    abit buggy

    Not running properly on my PC. They need to optimize the game. I buy this game to see how it is compared to my favorite game Battlefield. Going back to battlefield. Hope they will improve CoD performance on PC.

    The Multiplayer is always the same as in other CoD Titles it´s like you buying a 59$ DLC for your Call of Duty 4 .

    6 Gb RAM in requirements is also a problem i saw better graphics with less RAm ^^

    The worst COD ever!!! A lot of bugs, heavy (fps drops in my gtx 660 ti ftw), mouse sensitivity problems and no dedicated server or theater. Graphics are a deception (if you compare with MW2 or MW3).

    This game sucks. The same ending, lags, low fps, graphics are worse than MW' graphics. Gameplay hasn't changed at all. Kotik doesnt give a crap about people's feeling. Go to hell, Activision

    I bought the game on pre-order and must confess that was very excited about the new multiplayer options, killstreaks and stuff like that until... play the game.

    Let's start speaking about the graphics! Well, in my point of view it was worst than Black Ops 2... The gameplay? Absolutely strange, slower and with a ridiculous FOV... The campaign is too short and doesn't thrill...

    Full of crashs, freezes and bugs in the PC version...

    In short, quite disappointing! Does not seem COD but still can be played and ensures some fun in multiplayer!!

    I had ALOT of issues with BO1 almost half of the maps didnt work, (unknown error) steam or treyarch did nutting about it. MW3 came, bought it, even more issues AGAIN with mouse sensitivity crashes fps drops all that.
    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.

    The maps are the worst in the series so far (not exaggerating) and the weapons are weird and ugly, the game is also laggy for everyone and crashes a lot (i'm playing on the newest drivers).

    I gave it 1 point because it could have been a good game if Activision were not an evil company.

    In its current state avoid the PC version of the game.

    The game does a great job!... of doing the same thing with the Cod 4 engine that IW did with the other CoD games. Disgustingly bad singleplayer paired with poor graphics and too much of an emphasis on multiplayer make this game an obvious miss for those looking for a truly good time.

Most PC gamers give honest opinions as they spend about 1k or 3k on their build while console players get the game for Christmas by asking their parents, when they get it they put the 10/10 for the most stupid and idiotic things. Me as a PC gamer for about 5 years can tell you this game is truly the worst AAA game. Expand
