Despite lowing option by option graphics I ended in 60fps right about in Wolfenstein 3D. IW leave CoD to Treyarch. All the perks and setting mechanics is soo crapy compared to BO2. Maps are like Gotham City Impostors. Textures looks like bad tonemapped pseudo-hdr. And of course 65GB of disk space... CoD Ghosts is one of the biggest failures I've seen in years. There are indie studios, which would create soo much better game than "pros" from your studios. Time to beat the hell from your keyboards, kick everybody from Quality, ban every tester because they clearly have no idea how gamers want to spend free time.    … Expand

    Epic failure on all proportions. Never will I buy another POS COD game. I have almost all of them. The hack jobs have made this game completely worthless to me. Activision I hope you see all these comments and know that you will not con people on your next BS game. And 6gb Ram is BS.

    WASTE OF MONEY
    This game is the reason I don like COD anymore. I loved it before but this shows me they just don't want to try anymore. I haven't even had the chance to play one full match(multiplayer) and/or mission (campaign). The game just needs a lot of memory and disk power. I have a very good processor in my laptop and nothing looks right. The maps take ages to load, if it loads and    WASTE OF MONEY

    Most boring campaign I've ever played in a FPS award- check.
    Awful mission design check.
    Worst performance to graphics ratio check.
    By FAR the worst plot for a "story" in ANY game I've ever played check.

    Nothing good to report for this game. If you never played any CoD game and want to buy it- don't pay more than $5 for it.

    The game on PC is utterly abysmal. It runs like garbage for having such incredibly poor texture quality, even with maxing out at the highest of settings. The outrageously high amount of data needed for install boggles me with how poor the game runs. I tried getting my money back but unfortunately, Activision doesn't see things my way... I'm not surprised.

    The most terrible game i've played the last 2 decades. Game is stuttering all over the place on both low and high video settings, buggy textures, the most ridiculous guns from which it doesn't even matter where or when or how you shoot. You kill things in 2 hits, if you shoot in the arm, leg, stomach or chest nothing will make any difference.

    Don't waste your money on the PC version, way to many issues to mention. This was a poor port and a money grab. Although the consoles have tremendous hacker issues. The 10 star rating here was a plant for sure.

    I was excited to get this game and play it as I am a huge fan of the COD series. This one was such a disappointment. You die much too fast, there are FPS drops everywhere, and there just seems to be a distinct lack of polish. It is blatantly obvious that this was a straight port, especially in the Extinction game mode. Absolutely horrible.

    Sadly I like the simplicity of older CoD titles. I liked the hallway shooting, to a partial degree I even liked the DLC to MW3 which should've been the highlight of what was to come. Like the open field with a crashed plane with buildings full of snipers. I've played every Call of Duty to date. I hated a few maps here and there but I ended up hating all but maybe three.

    The maps.    Sadly I like the simplicity of older CoD titles. I liked the hallway shooting, to a partial degree I even liked the DLC to MW3 which should've been the highlight of what was to come. Like the open field with a crashed plane with buildings full of snipers. I've played every Call of Duty to date. I hated a few maps here and there but I ended up hating all but maybe three.

    The maps. Between being too open and the spawns being all over the place ranging from out in the middle of nowhere on the map, to spawning you behind the person that killed you, to in front of another player. I really did enjoy it for everything but those two things because they make it a completely different game. I have adjusted to it but its just not the same experience.

    Single player was its usual par for the course action through linear maps of connecting hallways. Some people find the multiplayer part of the game absolutely great. Which makes me feel like I haven't tried. Even though I've already put in 100 hours into the game, meanwhile the person who said its great has played for maybe 24 hours who also promptly told me I just suck even though he could only kill me from behind.

    The constantly getting shot from every possible angle. The constant fear of wondering where bullets are going to come from. So you cower down behind a bush and wait for an enemy to run by and you don't feel good about what you did. I would say this game could cause flare ups of PTSD for retired soldiers. A game isn't supposed to do that. A game is supposed to be fun. But congrats on getting the realism right.    … Expand
