    Singleplayer wasn't so bad, just mediocre, the REAL edning was horrible though. The starting scene was copied from MW2, just youtube "ghosts mw2 copy".
    Multiplayer is has some issues:
    1. Not that much weapon and attachments variety (less weapons than in prev. games), no proficiencies, little to NO weapon customization costs squad points). And still around 10% of the weapons are ok. In every class there's one good weapon, and 3 just for the sake of a "variety". In simple TDM you need absolutely no attachments, one good weapon, secondary are also unnescessary, nades and tacticals should also be switched for perk slots, it's really useless.
    2. Perk system works fine but there still no that much impact on the game (for example, full Specialist in MW3 was a Rambo, but here, it's just an OKAY bonus, IMO).
    3. Experience system is nedlessly complicated so it would take more time to advance. There's no reason to torture yourself with it. LVLing up does absolutely nothing, the challenges are ridiculous. You have a customization option but you can't really unlock anything so well. It's easier to hack squad points, but everything you might need and play. Camos unlocks are also bad, IMO.
    4. Squads are useless. I don't know about the clans, cause I play alone, maybe it's ok. Extinction is okay. Co-op survival is ok, but it's hard to find a server, nobody plays it.
    5. Maps are ok, with some exceptions. There are two bad maps, Stonehaven for it's campy design and Siege cause it's like 5x size of a normal map, at times you can't even find a single enemy for minutes.
    6. Killstreaks. Support streaks have 3 good items: SATcom, Ammo crate for fun and the Vests. Everything else is useless. Assault is good only for a heli, sometimes a dog can come in handy, but it dies fast. Maniac is also fun though. Not that much to choose from. 1/2 good combinations of Support and Assault ones. Specialist is a waste of kills.
    Overall: it's a half of an overpriced DLC for MW3.
    An OK singleplayer campaign. (amazing if you compare it to Battlefield 4).
    Less variety and combinations, nothing to experiment with in multiplayer.
    No reason to LVLup. No reason to get better.
    For a true fan of series, it gets boring in about 2-3 days.

    Infinity Ward thanks for the Dog Hair physics update, but seriously.
    Spend a week fixing your bait-and-switch of a game instead of coding new advertisements trying to trick us into paying you another $60 for your map packs.

    Treyarch gets my money from now on.

    I loved COD4 MW2 and the Black Ops series. But this, this is completely unexpected. I'm just gonna sum it up like this. If you so desperately want to play this game PIRATE it!! Complete waste of money. You want an online shooter play BF4. No im not a fan boy, BF4 is just the better game regardless of what IGN says

    Just like MW3, Ghosts has proven itself as a horribly failed Call of Duty game. Bringing nothing new to the franchise, it also takes away smooth and stable gameplay of older CoD games to a buggy, unfinished, terribly optimized piece of overrated trash. This 28,5 GBs joke of a game is only good for laughs to the incredibly silly quicktime events.

    Ghosts can probably be described as an full step back from Black Ops II and that's putting it lightly. There is no reason to delve into the specifics as most of the other users have already explained it all. This simply is a disappointing and nearly unplayable game.....

    Worst performance to graphics ratio check.
    By FAR the worst plot for a "story" in ANY game I've ever played check.

    To be honest, I was not expecting anything exceptional when I bought the game. I knew that it wouldn't be a huge step forward, I just like(d) the COD gameplay where I can run in circles and kill lots of people very quickly without dying. It's unrealistic and fun. When I bought the game I was surprised to be disappointed. Here's a list of what irks me:
    The guns just didn't keep me

When I bought the game I was surprised to be disappointed. Here's a list of what irks me:
    The guns just didn't keep me interested like they did in BO2. None were really special or great, they're all kind of mid-level. To add on this, there isn't really a reason to stick with your favorite gun since you can just buy all of the attachments instead of actually leveling and prestiging your gun. And you can't get camo for your secondary. But hey, you can access your clan via iPad so that's just a revolutionary step forward.
    I didn't bother with the campaign because I don't care about the campaign. They made the maps bigger to try to compare with BF4. I didn't like this.
    Extinction is like Zombies, and it's fun until you beat it once. After that its just boring.

    Performance issues: While I run every other game I've ever played on the highest settings with no issues, I have to run Ghosts on low-very low on every setting. Anything above that and the game freezes/seizes/fps issues etc.
    I bought BO2 for full price as well, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I put in over 500 hours on the game. I have about 20 hours on Ghosts and I've actually uninstalled it. It's not worth the huge size, and it SURELY is not worth the $60. I have made the decision that I will be switching over to Battlefield next release, and I wish all COD gamers the best.

    FOV-slider? No, They did not include one. The fact that this is missing in such a big game proves IW's lazyness. And proves again that the PC version is a complete console rip-off.

    SLI-videocards still aren't patched. People that play with cards such as the GTX590 (a few years ago a flagship) for example, can't play this game normally without all the textures flickering.

    To prove this game is even more a console rip-off: If you put a xbox controller in your PC, you would get aim assist.....

    Well, the multiplayer is one big joke. They overcimplicated the perk system, deleted the imense popular game mode "search and destroy" and replaced it with a lame version of it. This means that the game hasn't got a single one "no respawn" game mode. Also lag is still an big issue, especially when you play with parties. The game randomly crashes and in my case the game delivers every 30 minutes max a bluescreen of death.

    Well with so much wrong and almost 2 months after launch you should have expected some patches that fixed some of these things. Especially because they promised better PC-support. Now what exactly of what I described above did they patch? Nothing, not a single THING. nada noppes zilch.

    IW has lost a fan this year, better wait for BO3 guys, atleast Treyarch puts some effort in the PC version... And while all these problems in Ghosts continue the team over at IW is laughing their asses of and already making trailers for their "DLC" wich is probably going to be just as bad as the game.

    For IW: If you want to make a respected game, simply listen to the PC community. But even if the entire community screams of horror about your game. you guys will still change nothing. Maybe this will help you renember: You make the game for the people right? So why don't you listen to the people? It's more becoming a hobby for you guys to make worse games every year.

At this point, you might think, "Hmm, this guy is giving average to a little above positive things to talk about of this game. How can this game be bad?" The main problem I have with this game is that you need 6GB of ram to play this game, which is really bad. If you have a ram below 4GB, you can even play it. Which means that my computer has to be on my knees in order to play it. I have a pretty kick ass computer with amazing specs, but I can't even play the game on high, which beings up another problem. The game doesn't look, "Next-Gen". The game looks washed out, and some of these textures are downright ugly and hideous. Some of them are so bad that I feel like I'm playing a game on a PS2!
    If you want to get this game, you should wait for the price to drop... Activision please. Thankfully, I only got this game for $40 plus tax. Which isn't bad at all.
    I'm giving this game a TWO out of TEN, get this game with caution.

Please the engine is like idk...... 6-7 years old now and they keep saying that they have worked on this hardly.... Anyway the multiplayer is minimal.... nothing special about it. Just whineing, rageing kids.

    Oh and that dog.. that dog... the based their whole marketing on it..... news flash: dogs are not uncommon in games!

    Wonder when people will wake up and see that Activision keep stealing their money

    Single player is the best part of this game, even then its crappy. The multi-player is for consoles, vaulting is crap, being shot after you spawn is too numerous to imagine. IW is far from the best and the worst part is that treyarch is now adapting IW crap into their games. I thought MW3 was bad, i was severely and horrible wrong.If you want to waste your money, this is the game for you.Single player is the best part of this game, even then its crappy.

    Let's face it, half of the hate this game gets is due to the fact that it's from a 10 years old series that did not evolve, or even regressed in some points (I felt like Modern Warfare 3 had better light effects). Technically, they pushed their engine to the limit, and the result is a "meh", which turned into a big "ARE YOU KIDDING ?" when you look at the PC required to launch the game.Let's face it, half of the hate this game gets is due to the fact that it's from a 10 years old series that did not evolve, or even regressed in some points (I felt like Modern Warfare 3 had better light effects).

    This is quite a good arcade shoter game, but they kept the same gameplay for too long, and the only changes brought for 4 years are "this can level up, you can customize this a bit more" and that's all. That's what I expect when I buy DLCs or expansion packs, not a brand new game. Also, the skins dlc are what I expect in a free-to-play game, not a game I paid 60 €, I know that you don't need to buy them, but when you take a weapon from one's guy that you saw because -let's face it- you see those weapons from a mile away, you feel pity for the guy who paid for it.

    The singleplayer campaign is just like any COD singleplayer campaign. You don't get the feeling that you are the underdog that much. Speaking of dog, they really did put one in the game to say "if you don't like this single player campaing it's because you don't like cute dogs".

    Overall, this game feels like Activision stopped aiming at the pc market and aims at console fanboys who didn't see (yet) the same game with different models for 10 years.

    6 Gb RAM hard-lock on totally outdated eight-year-old engine is one of the most insanely idiotic things I ever seen. At no point in making of this retarded decision were you ever close to anything that can be considered a rational thought. Every COD:Ghosts owner is now dumber for having bought it.

    I lol at the 'professional critics' reviews who always love to suck off big developers with their positive scores.
    But the players (the most important critics) have spoken.
    CoD is well and truly dying and the slow sales of this latest installment may well be one of the final nails in it's overdue coffin.

I'm a loyal COD fan, I have racked up over 720+hrs of time in Black Ops 2, but I cannot recommend this title to anyone at this time. I wish I could get my $120 back.

    - Field of View is locked at 65 degrees, no slider like in BF4 or Black Ops 2.

    - No multi-screen Eyefinity/surround gaming support

    - No Ping displayed in multiplayer.

    - No Search Preferences selection what-so-ever. You will not know you are in a laggy game into you watch your Killcam Replay and realize you show up on your opponents screen much earlier than he does on yours.

    - Lots of freezes and crashes. Some are recoverable crashes to desktop, others are BSOD and reboot the computer.

    -FPS cap'd at 91fps

    -6gb ram requirement even though it uses less than 2gb of system ram

    -Memory leaks everywhere

    Do yourself a favor an wait to see if Activision Infinity Ward fixes this title before you buy. One look on the COD PC discussion forum and you will know the truth.

    The gameplay is non innovative. Making this game no better than an expansion pack of MW3 at best. It will feel like more of the same, or perhaps less of the same in some cases. The new kinds of maps that you have to 'learn what the map can do' has very limited implementation and doesn't affect game play in any way.

    CoD might be fun for casual players who just want to play the same game they have been playing for years, with nearly the same quality of graphics, and nearly the same gameplay. It is just an over priced map pack. Nothing about this title lives up to the "Next Gen" promise, and is not worth the price tag. I have no idea what they spent that blockbuster budget on. Donuts maybe.

Character movement look like something from the first iteration of the source engine... everything seems out of place. The sound effects are borderline hilarious. Silencers sound like a mix between a laser gun from star wars and the classic james bond pistol. Btw explosions are sad, very sad.

Calling this "Next-gen" is a lie. The texture quality is cringe worthy, the overall graphics on Modern Warfare 3 standards. They have reused so many textures from past games it's not even funny. We quickly noticed textures and graphical properties from MW3, but color me shocked when we found MW2 stuff in there as well. The menus are a joke, no FoV-slider (locked at 65) which means many people including myself get's headaches and slight nausea after a one hour sitting. One of the best indicators of a lousy PC-port is the menus, and with the sound menu being, and I ye not, "VOLUME" That's it. A general volume slider. It's horrendous. Can't speak much of the general gameplay or maps because I wont waste more time of my life on this Lady Gaga-game. Framedrops and stutters all over, doesn't even matter what PC your on.

    SP story is total rubbish the plot is well no spoilers here but well some levels make no sens. Plot here is just trowing more excuses for more kills (don't get me wrong this is FPS after all it's about killing).
    AI i have filling that they wanted to create a feeling that there are soldiers on your team and not all enemy's focus on u (thou tanks have only one aim kill you which is plain stupid but this resulted in enemy's not wanting to kill you. Graphics well games are not about graphic but this title have nothing else so i will say few words about it. It s not bad dynamic lighting looks awesome. Some other effects are pretty cool to can't complain but then comes the textures i recently played HL2 and textures were i want say better but more appealing.(almost 10 years of "progress"). fixing FOV at 65 why do that i can not find any justification for that. I played game on the best settings i were i can not imagine how it looks on lower settings.
    MP well it's pretty much average COD MP. I really enjoy maps they are good. but why 6 people not 8 it would be better since maps seams a bit to big for 12 players only. lvl system is pretty descent maybe there is too much sprayers thou well its cod after all.

    i'd probably give mp a try and play it more. But definitely not coming back to SP.
    my score would be 5
    +it's provides fast action gameplay
    +MP is descent but not great but u can enjoy playing it
    -sp campain plot is STUPID and it treats u like total idiot it almost plays itself
    -to few players per map.

    But i will give it 0
    Why two days passed and nobody addressed disappointed players no patches, instead we here about how good game sales and that they sued people who actually tried to fix the game developers should be ashamed forcing 6 gb ram (well i don't care i have 16 but why not let people play your game )
    also i got the feeling that it;s not final product. And i had a lot of issues trying to lunch this game due to some language error not allowing me to play English i was force to play in my mother tongue and the translation is stupid) Im sorry i spend my money on this title Next time give me good COD (and i will w8 for players reviews) or this series is dead for me

For pc, the game looks, handles, and generally feels like sh*t. For Infinity Ward to boast that they would work extra hard on the PC version for a great experienced, they might as well have been a politician, because that was a promise unkept. The settings can't be changed in game, which is ridiculous. You have to back out to the very first menu if you want to change simple stuff like texture settings. The options are scarce too. Features are disincluded, for others. I.E. Vision distance can't be changed, for the whole "dual rendering" on snipers. The dual rendering is more pointless than having camos for the damn dog, which acts brain damaged. When you aim down the scope, the "amazing" world around you is rendered twice, then blurred out, so you get to see green blotches in all their glory. The engine is not, in any way, "next-gen." Battlefield 4 runs better than this. I'm not some Battlefield fanboy either, I have appreciation for both of the series. I'd rather have bought Black ops 2 than this garbage. The audio settings (read: SETTING, AS IN ONE) is comprised of a master volume bar. So no, I can't turn down the crap music, so I can listen for footsteps. At this point, BF4 is better at being CoD than CoD. The weapon selection is crap. I've seen more guns in a point-and-shoot. The perks feel non-existent. Everyone else says the story mode is poop, so why bother. I give it a 1, as I gave one f*ck to write this review. Don't buy this Activision is half-assing it now.

The graphics looks dated and the textures are very, very bad. The fov is extremely small and likely to induce motion sickness, which actually happened to a friend of mine.

    The gameplay also has huge problems. The flinch is extremely strong and the weapons are overpowered. This means that the first person to hit the target will win every duel, and you will die without a chance to react, over and over again. Because there are no dedicated servers and huge ping differences, combining with the op weapons, playing is extremely frustrating.

    The character customization is ridiculously complicated. To unlock challenges you have to have "operations" active, which means that you will take years unlocking challenges you would have otherwise completed many times. What kind of imbecile came up with that idea? And of course there is widespread hacking. Here in Europe there are now hackers, not just wallhackers, but aimbotters in almost every other game and nothing is being done about it. I bought every COD, but this is the last one. I hope this review can change someones mind about buying this game. If they lose most of their PC customers Activision would care enough to start fixing the issues, but I doubt it. Uninstalling.

However, I don't know if Activision have some kind of grudge against the PC community or if they just forgot about us but the game feels sloppy. Now this is a new feeling I have felt for a call of duty game, they are normally well polished and pretty solid but it fails to deliver on one of it's core selling points. I am constantly being shot around corners and spawned directly in front of my greedy enemies sights. I'm not even going to delve into the abysmal port or various missing necessary and expected settings options. (No field of view option, really?). Also I don't think the campaign deserves a mention, I have precisely 14 minutes on record and that was the opening cut scene when I accidentally downloaded the single player. I thought I was never going to have my PC back. But if your really desperate for some fast mindless action and don't mind a bit of BS then be my guest and go for it. All I'm saying is that they better produce something pretty damn fine next year otherwise there profits might dwindle. Anyway I'm sticking to COD4 and MW2 for now. Expand

    Typical dull and repetitive rubbish that seemed like it was dreamt up by some gun toting conspiracist. Poorly ported over to the computer and the campaign is just short of an arcade gun game. Don't bother spending your money on another one of these assembly line made games. They think they can just pour all their money into the graphics department, but that is not how games should be made.

    This game is a clone to all the other modern warfare games. The PC version is practically unplayable due to the amount of bugs and almost non existent optimisation. The singleplayer story made me question humanity as a species because of how stupid it is. Dont buy this game unless you want to torture somebody.

    The game itself I don't mind, What I dislike greatly is the amount of half truths/ lies told by IW to get more sales.
    A poor port that was supposed to be made for PC.
    The Hybrid system of P2P and dedi's they advertised is, well lets just say I monitor my connections and NEVER have I been put onto a dedi server. With this comes the inherent issues of Peer to Peer. The amount of cheats

    Let's face it. Modern Warfare was an awesome game. In fact, MW1 was so great that they continued the series with World at War. After another big success, we got a second MW2. All of these were so big that they took the Modern Warfare ones and duplicated them enough to make 4 "sequels," with one new release every year. In the big move to Next-Gen consoles, what do we get? Nothing. ILet's face it. Modern Warfare was an awesome game. In fact, MW1 was so great that they continued the series with World at War. After another big success, we got a second MW2. All of these were so big that they took the Modern Warfare ones and duplicated them enough to make 4 "sequels," with one new release every year. In the big move to Next-Gen consoles, what do we get? Nothing. I seriously took this game and checked in across from MW2, and to be honest, it looks like some really popular modder's "MW2 Advanced." It seriously doesn't even have enough changes to it to make it a great sequel. Speaking of which, has anyone heard of "CoD: Advanced Warfare?" It's already queued for release in November.

    Aside from that, the port is awful. It's clunky, it's badly optimized, it takes 40 GB of space (enough to install 3 Total War games and Battlefront II), and it still has bad graphics. It's just a bad game in general.

    Why does it not have a flat-out zero? It got one point because I really liked CoD 1-5, and even 6 a little bit. It also got one more point because they're not the only ones doing this. They're following suit with Battlefield, and even Assassin's Creed and Dead Space now. The fact that we find more from independent developers than we do AAA is just all around a horrible thing. No thank you, Infinity Ward.

The story line is absolutely stunning with a rather emotional ending, along with various new game mechanics that were not included in previous call of duty campaigns. I personally believe the singleplayer campaign in Ghost is by far the best in the entire COD franchise up to date. The graphics and visuals has also been drastically improved when the game runs on max settings than previous COD games.

    THE BAD:
    Unfortunately it seems like IW spend most of their budget into the SP component, while MP is still rather dull and similar to its predecessor. While the graphics in SP is great, it is rather inferior in MP when compared to its other competing games. The game is also extremely awfully optimized for PC as very few people are able to get a solid frame rate in multiplayer. SLI does not work properly with the game as the graphics are very glitchy and flickers a lot. The game had great potentials, but the MP component was a huge letdown.

    The series is showing its age. COD is dated and just doesn't stack up well to other PC FPS games. It lacks the eye candy of BF, the teamplay and innovation of Natural Selection 2, the classic and balanced feel of Counter Strike:GO, the sheer fun of Hawken, and worst off all Blacklight retribution is for all purposes a better COD then Ghosts.

When you look at 30 gig in BF4 and what you get you wonder what what kind of (finance) deadline they were put on.

    now lest: squads: well i didnt play it that much but from what i played it isnt that bad, but it isnt as good either and it gets the game 0.5 point so for now we have 1.5/10 but i will give it a 2/10 because i am giving it a 0.5 point on the gameplay that wasnt that bad it was ok compared to bo2. so for conclousin a 2/10 dont buy ghosts unless you will find it with 5$ price which whould probably whouldnt happaned, but bf4 and i am reccomending it even to cod player that think the same as i think on ghosts, i was a cod fan much more than battlefield but with this against the best fps i have ever played (bf4) it doesnt stand a chance, infinty ward once was my favorite dev for cod but with bo2 release last year that was a treyarch game and was the best in the franchise from my opinion, and then a year later the worst cod in the series from my opinion was developed by infinity ward treyarch became my favorite devs for cod, so a 2/10 and even cod fans buy bf4 instead of this crap, i am a huge cod fan and i much enjoyed bf4 than ghosts so i think that even you (cod players) will enjoy bf4 and will preffer it from ghosts.

Ghosts on PC is a console port (and still terrible despite the patches). A single title can be released only once and there's no coming back. Compare this to other CODs since 2007. What changed so far? Is this what next-gen game looks like? Because I think it doesn't.

    Nowadays, Call of Duty is like a widespread cancer. Everyone who became hardcore fan is sentenced for suffering from metastases known as CoD sequels. At least more people get the idea and try to avoid infection.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is the latest installment of the call of duty series, it has a new engine that is beautiful but in the same time odd. I was impressed by the particle effects (from the grenades etc) but what disappointed me was the story. It was weak, I didn't feel like it was something to me. It didn't feel I cared about anyone in the "Ghosts". In the beginning when you are being dragged to the car you can remember that animation from MW2 ending which is a CTRL C CTRL V like. Graphics overall is a 7/10 for me since it's unoptimized as The single-player as I said was weak, I would give it a 5/10. There was one scene when Logan and Hesh's father showed who he really was. Then Hesh said "Wait you are from the ghosts" in a stupid, horrific bad way. So I can say that the voice acting is a bit i'll give it a 6/10.
    Multiplayer is, of course the same thing every time. Just with new weapons, maps, AND SPAWNS that will literary piss you off so much the same way I have done the last two days...
    Conclusion: The game does not deserve its price tag at 59.99 Euros. It's not worth the money and wait till it's on sale if you want it. This is a big disappointment as the trailer looked good. Avoid the game until sales. I am giving this game a 4/10 because of some good improvements but still negative sides win.
