    I don't understand dog enthusiasm about the release of the next unfinished crap from IW and Activision. Such a horrible single player campaign, I have not seen yet never, the plot does not exist it is incomprehensible what started it all and end all. This game is just a fish & dog simulator!

    If this is supposed to represent the next-gen Call of Duty, it fails miserably, it is once again another Modern Warfare 3 ctrl+c, ctrl+v with more game modes to justify being new.

    Firstly I'd like to state this is a multiplayer review as I've no care for the single player of this series.

    The Good: - The UI. It's clean, simple, intelligent. - The perk system is a nice one and will be more enjoyable upon finally unlocking the damn thing. - Male/Female option an important step for a game like this. - Weapons/perks kept within the realm of believably. - The dog
    Firstly I'd like to state this is a multiplayer review as I've no care for the single player of this series.

    The Good:
    - The UI. It's clean, simple, intelligent.
    - The perk system is a nice one and will be more enjoyable upon finally unlocking the damn thing.
    - Male/Female option an important step for a game like this.
    - Weapons/perks kept within the realm of believably.
    - The dog is a fun gimmick.

    The Bad:
    - Met with graphics that haven't changed since I played MW2.
    -Un-optimized sluggishness (add to that FOV at 65 with no option to change).
    - Freezing and crashes that funnily enough have wiped out Steam along with it (go figure).
    - Small condensed maps leading to a) spawning in proximity to the enemy and b) nigh always having someone coming at you from ALL angles leading to death short of having eyes in the back of your head.
    - Servers are constantly timing out from the would-be host, which having played 80% of a game only to have it fail like that and see all your XP/awards go out the window frankly is a complete joke. You tell me IW/Activision where it was my fault someone/something crashed the server.

    The Ugly:
    It's the realization that I put my faith in IW/Activision, having not played since MW2, only to think "It's been years since you played and surely you've waited long enough for some vast improvements to be made to the series that actually warrants your purchase again"...

    No, it did not.

    I am genuinely disappointed with this title. What makes it worse is for me I actually bothered to invest in the collectors so it feels like even more of my money wasted.

    It would be enough to ask that the game just function as intended regardless of it's technological shortcomings (although apparently requiring 6GB of RAM), but this title fails even in that endeavour. I've barely been able to go three maps without some sort of server crash, freeze, or game crash. Each crash has then taken me out of play and rendered whatever XP/awards I've earned in that time null and void.

    What I would like to see from this is one of two things. The options are:
    - IW/Activision authorizes refunds for a seriously flawed piece of software. Knowing that will never happen..
    - IW/Activision publicly voice their shortfall on this game, and begin work in earnest immediately on patches that will optimize this game for the PC, and remove the sources of crashing/freezing. This is an absolute minimum ask. It is your creation, and it is not even close to the value you put on your product that you asked for when we purchased.

    This series, your company, and it's legacy are fast becoming the laughing stock of the game development community. Have some dignity and pride. Fix it.

    This is cheating at it's finest. After Black Ops 2 I thought they finally enhanced the engine to compete with other AAA titel. I was really exited as I saw the first pictures from Hesh Walker and all the 3D models looked good so far. SubD and Tesselation its all good, but you really notice that they didn't move a finger for improvements. Where is the celebrated NextGen Engine?!

    "I feel like smaller studios are having trouble I can't speak for them but I would think are having trouble making games that fill the big AAA market because they're harder to do. It is kind of a bummer that games are getting so hard and difficult to make. People want better and better graphics, they want more realistic looking art assets and that comes at a cost and that's a hard thing to have to deal with."

    ...What?! Even independent games like outlast show that graphics are not an obstacle....Activison Blizzard is the hughest games publisher, they could put a lot of effort into game production instead of a big advertising camaign to achive as many buyers as possible... it's the definite prove that the only reason for this is money...ACTIVISON gets no money from me anymore, I promise....Imagine what else you could do with 60 Bucks!

    Ghost is step back in CoD franchise. BO2 was new and innovative while Ghost is just the same game as MW3. Graphics and gameplay are outdated while game require insane PC specs (6Gb DDR, 50Gb HDD). If you like CoD, don't buy this game so developers will improve next time.

    5) Poorly optimized engine, I'm have a 3Ghz I7, 10Gigs 1866 Ram and a 660ti and I'm forced to run the game on the lowest settings 720p just to get a stable framerate...and yes i have updated my drivers
    6) I keep losing connection to host, this literally happens every 10mins
    7) Clipping issues, I have multiple screenshots of multiplayer games where I have fallen through the ground and gotten stuck at the bottom of the map
    8) Lag Lag Lag, this is probably the biggest problem I have with this game. Everything is so damn laggy. The lag compensation in this game is just ridiculous.

    It's a shame I was really looking forward to this game, I'm hoping they fix these problems but until then this game is just a waste of money for me

    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.

    This game is an utter turd of a scam. I am disappointed and angry at myself for being careless enough to purchase this steaming heap of cow manure. Fair warning, if you are considering to pick this game up, don't, treat yourself to a nice dinner or movie instead.

    I finished the single player campaign in under four hours and was underwhelmed, with hopes that the multiplayer components would at least be something that I would enjoy. I was dead wrong.

    Let's list my major qualms:
    -Graphics are dismal, especially in light of the poor performance. Poor texture quality, modeling, animation, artistic design and use of effects. The game has a plastic-like look to it and frankly looks like a 360 or PS3 launch title with everything turned up to maximum quality.
    -Performance is unbelievably bad on my high end(780, i7 2600k at 3,4 Ghz, 16gb RAM)machine, framerate varies from 240 to under 30 FPS.
    -Gameplay just feels wrong, especially in multiplayer it just seems 'off', meaning that the gunplay is inaccurate and not enjoyable.
    -The multiplayer side of things is just horrible, right now, bit for bit, I find Black Ops 2 to be a more enjoyable game.

    The only positive thing I have to say about the game is the cinematic music for the single player missions. It made the loose drivel of a plot playable and added some much needed dramatic qualities and emotions to the wooden animation.

    To sum it up, this game is a joke. Right now there are so many better alternatives for a first person shooter, both single- and multiplayer, that I highly recommend not buying this piece of garbage. Having bought the game at full retail value, I feel like someone who bought a ticket to a Metallica concert and ended up watching an out of tune high school cover band.

The animations are awful Grenades are thrown by magically puking them out of your face and waving aimlessly in front of you afterwards. 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.
    Read this out loud: "POOF!" I guarantee that sounds better than anything in game.

    If you haven't bought this game already, please stay away. If you have: get a refund.

The only way to get a +1,5 k/d is by camping, but I don't have time to waste my life hiding in a corner. This game just doesn't require skill anymore.
    I was also very disappointed with the "customize your soldier", I was expecting something along the lines of rainbow six ,but it was more like GTA 4's customization options; barely anything to choose from.
    My major complaint though is the removal of Search and Destroy from pub games, I used to love playing Search and Destroy with my team, now its been replaced by this stupid search and kill confirm game type.
    The series sure went down hill after they fired West and Zampella. MW2 was a masterpiece, after that, it was the same call of duty trash. The series has officially died for me. Time to move on. Looking forward to Titan fall, which IMO is the true successor to MW2.

It's the first CoD game in which I'm so disappointed. Even MW3 was better. IW should be closed for good and Activision should give franchise to Treyarch so they can give us a decent game each two years. I'm not even going to talk about multiplayer. One does not simply compare that rotting sh*t to what DICE did through past 3 years.

    If I could return the game, I would. What were they thinking when they decided to cap FPS at 91 and not add a FOV slider? On some maps it's impossible to keep a steady 91 fps due to some weird CPU usage issues when looking at certain areas.

    The lack of a FOV slider and capped FPS isn't much of an issue compared to how fast you die in this game, you die quicker than you do in Black Ops 2

    The lack of a FOV slider and capped FPS isn't much of an issue compared to how fast you die in this game, you die quicker than you do in Black Ops 2 hardcore mode. Maybe that's why they removed most of the hardcore mode game types? The standard mode is pretty much hardcore. I've also died so many times in a single frame when on the enemy killcam they shot 6+ bullets yet on my end all of them registered at once. Strange lag combined with this quick time to kill makes for a very frustrating game.

    What Activation have done this time around is taken the original Modern Warfare and tinkered with it a little (as per usual), wonderful. BUT, on top of that beautiful masterpiece, this time they have also included a fabulous dog called Riley into the campaign. Unfortunately Riley is quite a heavy eater, allegedly consuming an extra 32GB of your precious hard drive space and a beefy 5.5GB of extra RAM over Call of Duty 4.

    As per all recent games in the franchise the campaign is action packed, totally over the top and making no sense what so ever, just run and shoot and you will do fine... That being said I did somewhat enjoy the campaign. Unfortunately after those short six hours of fun that's where things stop being slightly entertaining. Multiplayer is the exact same as usual, an absolute hell-hole.

    Now the one good thing about this game is that it keeps all the immature teeny boppers away from other games, kudos Activision.

    I think I will purchase an extra copy of Battlefield 4 just to do some justice to this terrible game.

    Recommended hardware specifications according to Steam:
    Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare 8 GB HD space, 512MB RAM.
    Call of Duty: Ghosts 40 GB HD space, 6 GB RAM.

I heard dedicated servers, next gen visuals, "new" feel to the movement and weapons, and a redesigned class system. I got excited. Then I saw the host migration screen. Then I saw that my fov was stuck at 65 and Infinity Ward are doing their best to keep fixes from being made available to the public. Then I saw the rubber banding when I was 10 ft around cover and suddenly die. Then I realized that secondary weapons are pointless unless you're out of ammo in your primary because you die so ridiculously fast in this game that weapon switching during a firefight just means you're already dead. It's just like any of the other modern warfare series of games. Treyarch really stepped up with blops 1 and then again with blops 2. And yet these idiots at Infinity Ward just screw it all up and take 10 steps back from what Treyarch was doing with PC CoD.
    I'm so disappointed after only 3 hours of playing I have no desire to pick this game up again. Everything that was good about Infinity Ward is now over at Respawn making Titanfall anyways. Maybe they will blow CoD away and people will look back and remember this series that took advantage of so many players. How they promised the world and barely gave us anything when it came time to deliver. CoD is officially a two year title for me from now on as long as Infinity Ward keeps bring this crap in the off season. I'll support Treyarch as long as they continue to do what they promise.

    50GB game install for graphics worse then Black Ops 2. A 6GB ram minimum requirement when the game uses maybe 1GB(there are mods that let you play the game with less then 6GB of ram). FOV is stuck at 65(you can get a mod that fixes this)

    - Same damn game as always. Nothing is different here. Campaign is linear and pointless, might as well play MW2 campaign. Thats the reason for the 0.

    Please remember: Black Ops and Ghosts are made by different companies! Its correct to compare Ghosts to Modern Warfare series, while Black Ops were made by same company as World at War and some previous CODs. This game may have all the bugs and sad things that MW2/3 had as its made by same people, same company, and often same mistakes were made (which makes the game so damn terrible).

    WTF single player game took 6 hours... screwed again, by call of dooty (Wreck it Ralph reference).
    Pros:
    Beautiful game, plays great on my computer i7 3930K (6 core), 16GB ram, 2GB GTX680. No crashing for me. Story is decent, overall voice acting is good. Cons: Limited only one path to take most missions... generally all missions are point a to point b and only one path to get there

(One exception was escape and evasion mission which was the most fun I had playing the game). Use and control of dog, tanks, helicopter, drones is lame... think old school arcade shooters like cobra command...

    Save your money, if you want it buy it on sale (75% off) or get some to get it for you on Christmas, Hanukkah, or what ever holiday someone would buy you a gift.

    First of all I have played the old COD 1 en 2 on the pc. Those two are the best COD's and they are from the times that infinity ward and activision gave a damn about their consumers. Back when you paid 60$ for a full game and no 15$ map packs, back when the developers made actual expansion packs with new story line and new maps and not only 4 maps.

Back when you paid 60$ for a full game and no 15$ map packs, back when the developers made actual expansion packs with new story line and new maps and not only 4 maps.
    So after such a long time I decided to get the newest installment because they hired a good writer to write this game. (I have not played black ops or any of the other cod's)

    The sad thing is that Activision hired Stephen Gaghan to do the writing but there isn't much dialogue in this game. You basically have an idea of what the story is about but you are shooting most of the time, there is no connections with the characters and the campaign is too short. The missions are varied but we have seen them in the previous COD's. All COD's have climbing down from a window and then shoot the guys inside the room, the snow missions are getting repetitive, the underwater mission is nice but we also had that. Also the 40gb install and 6gb of ram are just lazy coding or maybe all the DLC's are already installed and need a 15$ code to unlock it.

    The multiplayer is just a recycle of previous modern warfare's it seems: Same animation kill, reloading animation, same guns and knifing feels like you poke someone. The kill streaks are stupid because you can see the enemy on the radar and the dog attack is just overpowered.

    You know the game's pure when one of the in-game cutscenes is ripped from the MW2. No, it's not called an hommage; it's laziness of the programmers and the cutscene director (or whatnot), that are hoping that no players would remember that cutscene. Well, guess what? I've played all CoD games, since the very first one, and to the MW3. Won't happent to repeat that mistake anymore.

    Mark Rubin has single-handedly ruined the CoD franchise. Paying no attention to the gaming community and arrogantly made CoD in his own image, the game now feels like running around on a grave yard of past grandeur. Most of the "alternative" game modes are now gone, probably because he didn't like them, i.e. Demolition, Sabotage, etc. It's only S&R (Search and Rescue) TDM and FFA left,Mark Rubin has single-handedly ruined the CoD franchise.

Most of the "alternative" game modes are now gone, probably because he didn't like them, i.e. Demolition, Sabotage, etc. It's only S&R (Search and Rescue) TDM and FFA left, dumbing down the game play further. And since he don't have any friends or understand the concept of communities, he don't see the value of dedicated servers either, so he removed them too. And because his track record speaks for itself, (he's quite dim), 18 players was a bit too much to handle, so he capped it at 12 and 8 for most of the maps. The rather small number of concurrent players makes the gaming experience just dull. You always feel like you're on a half-empty server, always wondering where the action "really" is.

    The low FOV makes you feel like you are wearing dive mask or something, again probably how a very narrow minded person perceives the world, so for him, it looks perfectly normal.

    So what you thought was impossible in 2007, namely destroying the Call of Duty franchise, Mark Rubin did. He'll go down in history as the man who single-handedly destroyed one of the worlds strongest brands in less than a decade. How embarrassing. It seems incredible but Mark Rubin and IW never understood what made their own game tick. What a sad day for gaming.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. All games get bugs in the first week of launch so that has nothing to do with the score. Instead the story is literally awful, boring (shoot a wave and go, wave and go, repeat over and over), and incredibly predictable. I will admit i did not expect the ending, but it was the worst cliff hanger in history. Now the multiplayer, they tried so hard to innovate that they literally made the worst CoD i have ever played (i played every single one except CoD 3). Its just not the same fun feeling i had, instead its just a series of frustrating events (awful spawns lead to camping, camping leads to hide and seek instead of run and gun that it should be). Lastly, graphics mean little to me as long as the game is good, but you think if they made the campaign this short and bad, with this kind of multiplayer, they could have tried to make a beautiful game with the amount of money they had? I used to be a "CoD is better than Battlefield" guy. Now on this game im about to hop the fence. Expand

    I have played every Call of Duty game since Modern Warfare 2 and I have loved the franchise very much for a long time. I was therefore very excited for Ghosts, but that excitement quickly went away after I got to play it. Let me walk you through some of it:

    I have played every Call of Duty game since Modern Warfare 2 and I have loved the franchise very much for a long time. I was therefore very excited for Ghosts, but that excitement quickly went away after I got to play it. Let me walk you through some of it:

    First of all, the graphics. The textures, the maps and the basic graphic fidelity is so bad it literally looks like the game was made for release in 2003. That's no joke, the graphics actually hurt my eyes. The colors used are basically black and grey, everywhere, plus lots of smoke and a bland, boring landscape. I was actually looking for excuses to turn my face away from the screen, repeatedly checking my phone just to be able to look at something better than this game's graphics.

    Secondly, we were promised a next-gen game, with dynamically-evolving maps. The game has absolutely no feeling of being any next-gen anything. In fact, this can be described as moving backwards. Some of the maps are recognizable; they have been used before in previous Call of Duty titles, with tweaks made here and there. The only dynamically-changing events are that at some rare times in a match, something will fall down. That's about it. I feel especially lied to considering how Infinity Ward specifically stated the game would use a new engine, but then months later, a comment was made by them that the engine was the same as always, just upgraded. Frankly, I don't see any upgrades. This is the same engine, and we were lied to.

    Third, I believe in giving credit where credit is due. The game has improved upon previous titles in two areas: A brand new weapon and perk system, in which you can unlock items for Squad Points (which seem to be given to you randomly during a match, for no good reason) before actually hitting a required level the way previous titles did. This means it's easier to get the weapons and other firepower that you like. In addition, Ghosts gives you a certain number of available perk spots. On the perk menu, you are free to choose exactly the ones you want, without having to select one from each perk category. However, keep in mind some of the perks require 2, 3, 4 or 5 spots while others only need 1. This new weapon and perk system is an improvement, but not enough to make up for the cons this game suffers from.

    Fourth, no matter how good your gaming rig is, you will suffer from performance errors. The game crashes, it has performance problems such as skipping frames, lagging, tearing and repeated major drops in frames-per-second. I have a brand new high-end gaming laptop, and upon starting the game, without having entered an actual lobby, it even had significant problems adjusting the settings in the Options menu (which, by the way, shouldn't be called "Options" because you get no options). All of these problems cause an actual match to be more useless than useful, and you will find yourself hating the game more and more after each round. You will end up getting so frustrated, you look for something better, anything at all, to do, rather than playing this game.

    Fifth, I don't commonly like to say someone just "threw something together and called it a day", but this is exactly the impression I have for Ghosts. The game is not done. Far from it. It wouldn't ever be done the way it is constructed. Modern Warfare 2, which is several years old now, looks like a futuristic monster game of awesomeness compared to this.

    This game is terrible. It is not worth your money. Don't trust me because I say bad things about it, trust me because I have happily bought every Call of Duty title annually and this will be my last Call of Duty title the way it has completely disappointed me. I feel ripped off, genuinely ripped off big-time. The game is a joke, and a big middle-finger from the developers and publishers to the PC players. You'd have a better time staring at a wall, as you wouldn't be as frustrated about the game as I am, and your wallet would also feel better. Do yourself a favor, and do not get this game. Thank you for your time.

    I like to play the Campaign mode first before duke-ing it out with the boys online. Well this time the campaign is the shortest so far. The story made more sense this time and some of it was fun. But very short. REAL SHAME. Why is the trend in these FPS to ignore the campaign mode.

    As for the game itself there is little to recommend buying it. Graphics are s***! for a 2013 title. I know its a straight port of the console. But I think the console version looks better on my TV then on a good quality 1080P monitor with top notch Nvidia graphics card.

    I reviewed this game based on the campaign mode only. So it might pick up a few more points once I played it online for a bit. I always like COD online. Even if i get my ar$e handed to me on a constant basis.

    If you only had the money to buy Ghosts or BF4 then its a no-brainer. Buy BF4.

I've played 2 multiplayer games (didnt bother with campaign for once) and first game ffa there was a hacker (all perks and wallhacks obviously) second game tdm the game mode is absolute trash, minimap does nothing but alert of nearby gunfire you dont see your teammates (i.e. a green tag above them) you must zoom in to see which is completely illogical seeing as you wont know whether to shoot or not. sound quality is beyond terrible, cannot hear anything but gunfire and the announcer. Severely disappointing, will never buy a call of duty game ever again and I'll prefer to stick to a company that does not stab its employees in the back, most likely will buy titanfall from the pioneers of cod 4 and mw2.
    Not only this but in the second game i played the game froze and crashed with no reason, so I'm just gonna play Battlefield 4 now and actually have an enjoyable time.

This game is obviously a port from the console version of the game. iW have tried to make the CoD franchise better by adding in new features such as Extinction (which is a rip off of zombies from Treyarch games, and is terrible), and squads (which is also terrible and boring. And they have taken away many features such as league play (which added a new competitive feel to the game, and introduced that side of the game very well), and other minor features such as an FoV slider, being able to show your ping, etc. These were extremely vital to us PC players.

    The maps in this game are terrible. They are way too big, not allowing competitive, fast paced games to take place, and i usually have to run around for about 30 seconds, until I find a player, which is when the lag comes in. About 80% of the time, i get the first shot on someone and i die first. The killcam shows that apparently I had not shot at them at all (and don't say i'm bad, I had a 1.6 k/d ratio on BO2). Never had it come across my mind that another CoD game could get me more frustrated than BO2, but BO2 feels like an extremely good game after playing Ghosts.

    In the future, I will probably not buy any iW games anymore, before looking at reviews. I made a foolish mistake of pre-ordering.

    Yet again, a copy and paste game!!!! ThIs game is so bad when it comes to multiplayer. Bad community, lag, unbalanced weapons (like Black Ops RTM and MW2), etc. The singleplayer isn't that bad, but nothing special.

    So, I don't recommend this game. This game is even WORSE than MW3, which was rated as worst game of 2011 by many people.

At time of writing, the "official" CoDG critics scores are 85/79/67. The community score is 1.6 (16%). When you have a gap that large, something is seriously wrong somewhere that no amount of hype or criticism downplaying will cover up. I believe the phrase "jumped the shark" is entirely appropriate here. Ghosts is sadly one "cash in on the CoD franchise" release too many.

    Actual review Almost everything is a step backwards. No FOV slider on PC's. Theatre mode removed. Old previously fixed bugs are now reintroduced (like mouse sensitivity jumping about all over the place if you're running FRAPS to record gameplay footage). I thought my Logitech G300 was dying. So did many others given many similar comments online elsewhere. Nope it's the game.

    The PC porting optimisation is appalling. The game runs even slower than BF4 with little noticeable increase in quality over previous CoD games. In some places, GFX look like 2007/2008-era games. It's like Dragon Age 2 vs DA:Origins all over again half the fps for *inferior* quality textures. The issue is not "people's hardware is too slow because its next-gen launch time" some games engines are just plain badly written. 6GB min RAM for this? You must be joking. I've seen amateur modders do far better with Oblivion.

    Voice acting is a step back, constant crashes, sound issues, server issues, poor AI, etc, are just icing on the cake. No point repeating them all as everyone else here is saying the same thing. Even without technical issues, the main issue for me is that it's lost its general "fun-ness". It's just plain boring. If you've played older CoD games, then you've pretty much seen it all before. Many times before.

    If these half-finished bug-ridden dumbed down rehash sequels are representative of next-gen games, then all I can conclude is that next-gen "so smart it's turned full circle and become retarded again"... At this rate, I'll be getting a lot more fun replaying modding older games in future, something a lot of people seem to be increasingly doing with bug-ridden glorified Beta releases booted out with little to no quality control, and an over-reliance on using "day one" gamers as unpaid patch testers due to marketing dept. release date p*ssing contests.

    Battlefield 4 was rushed out to compete with CoDG, and CoDG was rushed to compete with BF4. Both have masses of low-rated reviews for the same reason More bugs in each than the inside of an ant's nest. What in God's name is going on with gaming studio's these days? Not impressed at all either with the individual game, or "next-gen" releases in general so far.

I don't even know how it's repairable with the maps' layout.

    I fervently REGRET purchasing this game, and DO NOT recommend it to anyone who is looking for fair, legitimate, and competitive online gameplay.

    I have been an avid COD fan over the years, starting all the way back with COD 2. I have purchased virtually every new release--whether from Treyarch or Activision--with the almost sole intention of playing multiplayer. Sadly, Ghosts is where I stop; this is indisputably the last COD I will ever purchase.

    Why? It's simple: the developers' blatant disregard for online playability, neglect (or perhaps unwillingness) to ramp up anti-hack measures/ban cheaters, and complete inability to optimize the game for computers of varying capabilities all serve to undermine the integrity of the entire COD franchise.

    First, in online multiplayer on PC, there are hardly ANY players online. The only two game modes you're guaranteed to find matches in are TDM and Domination. What's the point in having all the cool niche game modes if there aren't enough players online using them?

    Okay, so let's look at the cause-effect: why aren't there any players online? It really comes down to two main reasons. The first is that the game is poorly optimized, and is consequently only playable by those with top-tier PCs. "Just decrease the visual settings", you suggest? Ah, if we purchase a game for $60, should we really have to downgrade the quality settings to play it? No. The developers are generating millions of profit at significant margins; why should WE have to compromise game quality when they have the means and resources to optimize the game to ensure playability for a diversity of consumers?

    Fortunately, I have a high-performing PC and do not experience (the majority) of the lag/fps issues that most complain about. Instead, my biggest issue and disappointment is the ridiculous prevalence of hackers. There are AT LEAST 2-3 hackers in almost every single online match. If you take the time to watch killcams of many top-scoring players, a pathetically high number of them are, quite conspicuously, aiming at you through walls/map barriers. Some are even stupid enough to SHOOT you through walls, even regardless of whether you have all stealth perks active or not (i.e. blind eye, incog, off the grid).

    I understand COD is a franchise especially prone to hacking--that's fine, that's to be expected. However, the sheer influx of hackers in COD: Ghosts is just completely sad. Of the 5-6 different COD chapters I've played, this is bar-none the worst for hacking. It is quite evident that IW's anti-hack efforts (if there have been any "efforts", that is) have completely floundered. Until cheaters begin to get caught and banned (which likely won't be for a LONG while), I assuredly will not be playing much. In its current state, the quality of online gameplay is shameful, and yields a considerably frustrating experience for those who want to play fairly and legitimately.

The community has lost all confidence in COD, thus are now all split between the previous 2 games and Ghosts.
