    This is my second review after 3 months playing COD Ghosts. Infinity Ward appears surprisingly incompetent, and continues to run this game into the ground.

Infinity Ward appears surprisingly incompetent, and continues to run this game into the ground. Continued lag and poor optimization, low player base, and cheaters with apparently no fear of the new VAC. This weekend IW put the game on sale and offered a free weekend in anticipation of the DLC release this week. They know the game is bad- they are bailing out and trying to grab as much cash from it as they can before it dies. If you have not wasted the money yet, save it for something else. You will not regret it.… Expand

    Worse graphics than the previous games but less performance and constant crash issues. The single player campaign is really bad scripted with horrible voice actors and has a 6Gb RAM requirement that is not really needed.

    The rest is the same as always.

    This game was developed for the ancient xbox hardware, so it is retarded programming that current PCs should be able to handle easily. Yet, Infinity Ward have done such a bad job with porting to PC, optimization and graphics that PCs are struggling to run it. The menu system is terrible, and some of the features that made Black Ops 2 bearable are not in this version (IW vs Treyarch).

The menu system is terrible, and some of the features that made Black Ops 2 bearable are not in this version (IW vs Treyarch). This game may have stood a chance with PC gamers if they had included rental servers in multiplayer so clans could run their own servers but without them this game is already dead. It will be more of the same, games full of 12 year old kids and morons who just want to ruin games with no way of kicking them.… Expand

    This game has better graphics that its prequel; that's all it has got going for it. Leveling up is slow. Squad point system is terrible. Tokens worked somewhat in BLOPS2 and weren't intrusive, but in Ghosts they're completely annoying. I'm not going to complain about the day one bugs and issues, as it is common for new release games to have these problems.

I'm not going to complain about the day one bugs and issues, as it is common for new release games to have these problems. Overall I am very disappointed with the game. The multiplayer, the only reason I play Call of Duty, is simply no longer enjoyable. This is coming from someone who owns all Call of Duty from 4 on PC and who thoroughly enjoyed MW3 and BLOPS2. Not looking forward to any future Call of Duty titles. Once burnt, forever cautious. EDIT: Months on and the series is a mess, specifically on PC. The community has lost all confidence in COD, thus are now all split between the previous 2 games and Ghosts. This leaves only the hardened veterans playing Ghosts meaning you get owned without resistance after waiting 10 minutes in the matchmaking lobby. Way to wreck a good franchise 4$$#013$(Infinity Ward)!!!!… Expand

After total fail of BO2 I thought they will try to do their best and create real game, but instead they started with lying (they promised new engine at the beginning,and than started to backstep) and finished with total trash instead of game.

    Graphics are awful. Compare the jungle maps with FarCry3 and there is absolutely NO comparison, COD are grainy and choppy. (My system runs FC3, Dishonored on HIGHEST settings, even normal on COD is nearly unplayable due to frame rate loss). The gameplay, smoothless, video quality, has nothing on CS:GO.

    Very disappointed with the purchase, the amount of money and time these guys have... and they create this buggy, laggy, second-rate game? Insulting to those who purchased and pre-ordered. They simply cannot put this game out and NOT expect you to lower your expectations on gameplay and visuals compared to titles out nearly 2 years ago.    … Expand

    This is by far the worst CoD of the series. Bad port..... I mean really bad port. It just feels the game didn't get any effort from the devs. Better graphics? updated engine? serious? CoD4 looks better then this. Its just garbage and don't waste your money. I'm ripped of.

    Oh, BTW, no metacritic score on Steam for this game? Silence speaks louder than words.

    Activision is the master of CTRL+V and their yearly copies of COD sure does amuse the 12 year old kid's. Just stop making COD, sure it generates the company easy money cause dumbass kids keep buying them but JUST STOP PLEASE. COD 4 and i mean Modern warfare 1 for the noob kids who didn't know COD started from WWII.

    Don't waste your time with this horrible PC port. That's what it is. The game was clearly developed for consoles and ported over to PC. Not only that but there are issues all over the place with this game. I won't get into the many issues, just take a stroll through the forums and you'll see for yourself. Don't do what I did and waste your money on this game. Save your money for something else.

    And while the graphics are improved, the game has some REALLY big problems. It stutters and crashes even on the low. The multiplayer is still the same, while some features are REMOVED! No server browsing. Yeah, big news, there's a character creation. BIG IMPROVEMENT, YEAH. And, also you can't run the game if you don't have the 6GB of RAM minimum. 6GB? REALLY?
    A BIG stepback from Black Ops 2.

    I'm not sure how each iteration of COD is worse than its immediate predecessor. It's actually amazing how incompetent Activision is unless their goal is self-sabotage. In that case I would say they are the best.

    Over-saturation.

    I wonder how many more milking attempts this terrible franchise has left before it is discarded by those suits up top?

    And isn't it about time this game was rated on it's merits. No discernible AI ever. No surprise, no variables. Always exactly the same. And I play on PC so the Xcrap controls really muck it up and have since inception. Bout time we get sick of the same ole same ole. Mark Rubin pack your bags, we done with this.
