    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.

    In the end, after hours and hours lost I could get to play around a little Campaign and Multi-Player. The truth is that with a few minutes and you have the feeling of playing the CoD MW 3.1. If version 3.1 of Modern Warfare 3 but poorly made More of the same with the same graphics and the same The campaign, Multi-Player, ****.

    Worst of all is that people ACTIVISION has the shamelessness to sell this! An unfinished ALFA smelling a game port of XBOX 360 made ​​reluctantly All whores promises that this would be a major change in the CoD series and more on the PC version has come to nothing. A DECEPTION OF 70, A JOKE HEAVY BAD TASTE .

    WORST IN MANY YEARS! Anybody OS NO HARD ON THIS NOT A SCAM OS OCCURRING OR IS ALPHA BUY THIS GAME LIKE FIVE YEARS AGO THAT YOU HAVE GIVEN A 7/10 BUT YOU TODAY'S DATE HAS TWO A 2/10 AND PROBLEMS WITHOUT MAKING IT WORK FOR.

    I do not recommend this game to noone. It is just waste of money. As single player is much more collorated then it could be that multi is much worst then other CoD tittles. Game just sucks in reality fighting. You can still be knifed out after sending few bullets to enemys chest

    Monumental crap, graphics are terrible but the download was 30Gb, that's like the game coming on 6 DVDs. Not sure what is included in that when the game looks so shocking.

    Best advice, avoid. Things like Metro: Last Light show what PCs are really capable of

    On the other hand, this 'different' failed to impress a fair number of people. Just like Black Ops II, many people were not satisfied with Ghosts, despite the impressive graphics and the improvements in the gameplay mechanic. But seriously..... 1.6? That's WAYYY too underrated. I'm sure there are ppl out there who've been hating the franchise (and Activision is to be blamed), but Ghosts deserves at least a 6.

    When looking at these scores, its hard to imagine that Activision actually DARED to challenge Rockstar Games to break the GTA V sales record. Sure, Ghosts made a $1 billion in one day head start, but that was just retail, not even the actual consumer purchase. And when consumers come here to see THIS, I doubt their sales would reach 5 million in a week.    … Expand

    Buy Battlefield 4 instead!

    Seriously. This game is a joke. It constantly crashes and has frame rate issues and yet BF4 looks about 5 times better and runs smoother. This game was clearly made for console with the sole purpose of racking in cash. At least DICE are trying new things and advancing their series forward. We have been playing the exact same CoD game since Modern Warfare 2.    Buy Battlefield 4 instead!

    So disappointing!!! Poor graphics, arcade gameplay. Bad storyline and you´ll finish it within 5-6 hours.
    Multiplayer is as everytime very bad. I just can´t tell you who Cod Ghosts needs almost 35 GB Hard Disc Space, it looks like a game from 2009. I´m so disappointed.

    Its basicly a COD mod, not worth the price, to much console orientated.
    This is a step back from Black Ops 2, If I turn on modern warfare 2 I get the same deal, I guese playing a female and having a dog is the only inovating they could come up with.

    This is a sad day, Ghost is a MW3 clone but with much more to hate.
    So many problems with everything, sure they will probably fix some of the problems but knowing the "COD TEAM" they will start working on the "NEXT GEN COD" in about 2 week and ignore this =)

    No thanks, this is where I leave the train, back to MW2 and BO I go.

Buy a console if you cannot update your limped biscuit of a computer. BTW, new-gen consoles have 8 gig memory and 8 core cpu.. if you can't compete with a console..why even try to play a PC game? If you like old-gen looks.. stick to a 360 or PS3 console so you don't whine about next-gen problems that will arise.. problem solved. These postings about limits are just plain stupid. 64 bit needs to expand further to expand games.. memory limits are going to rise to explore better features.. time marches on.. grow up already.

    For “me”.. This seems to be the “BEST” in the Call of Duty Series. There is so much new to examine while you still have the gameplay COD is known for. I like the features of “Squads” and find the multiplayer to work rather well even without dedicated servers. I would rather see dedicated servers to be honest, they should never had been moved to an after thought for PC players. Biggest mistake the franchise chose to do. Anyways.. The soldier build up is all new and works rather well. You now have a squad worth of soldiers that can also be leveled up and designed as you wish. Very interesting and look forward to more. Graphics are stunning when set to “Extra” and all seems to run pretty smooth for “me”. I didn’t buy the expansion pack “yet”.. but most likely will.

    I played Battlefield 4 for 5 days straight before this release. I have yet to load Battlefield since. People keep comparing the two titles although they do not play the same at all. Let us be honest here, they are both same old same old but refined for the better(we hope) each year. There are many ways to play these titles with known winning abilities in execution. I like ground pounding and COD offers that in spades. Battlefield is more of a Vehicle play although to me a bit arcade'ish in execution BF4 “defuse mode” is interesting and a take on Search and Destroy, my favorite type of play in these games. Ghost still has S&D buried inside, however they are toting a new twist with Search and Rescue which allows the possibility of revival from a team mate. I never warmed to Blackops or Blackops 2 nor would I suggest them to others. This title though? Single player and Multiplayer get my nod.. nicely done with no patches yet.. can only get better.

    Remember the minimum requirements folks.. you will need 6 gig of Memory to get this running on the PC.. I would also suggest a 660 or better graphics card.. don’t hate the game for this.. The bugs for “some” seem to do with graphics and the minimum ram requirement. I have neither or any bug that can relate to my system. The “only” bug I have seen is no mouse control left or right to change players you are spectating when dead in Search and Rescue games. I am sure they will fix that in a patch and does not really effect gameplay. I don’t really have an Uber system either. I5 2500k, 16 gig ram, GTX670 card and RAID HD to SSD. I call it a basic medium system and specs.

    Plenty of MP maps right at release and many ways to play. I have no choice but to like this game for what it is.. a winner. [GS] 8/10    … Expand

    Im a player since the first ages, playing COD feels like returning to the first Wolfenstein with better graphics. Soldiers seem to be fluctuating, they dont seem realistic not even close and the gameplay suffers with that.

    COD Ghost is a Beta game that will be forever beta im sure, even correcting some things i dont think they will be correcting the big picture of the problem.
    Another thing, i felt nausea's playing COD Ghosts, its because of the FOV being to low, its ridiculous never had this problem with a game.

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.
