    I am a Call of Duty player and this Call of duty is the worst Call of Duty i've ever played.
    the map design is poor the graphics looks like a game from 2008.
    The game has no FoV changer, you cant configure your Sensitivity normally (choose a number but only a slider). No dedicated servers, no console.

    just a bad game feels like i spent my money on a big garbage game.

    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 agree)

    Call of duty did it again:
    Releasing the same game which naive people will buy again.
    It is a very disappointing game if you played the series for a long time.
    It has almost no innovation at all. The highly praised by the marketing team next gen engine is just a bit prettier than MW3. Single player is decent, but only if you don't get tired of linear map design.

    We have been dooped again from I W. The players still wobble when they run, graphics on highest setting is awe-ful. Has the feeling of the old game with a new map. The physics are crap too. Im pretty sure I will never own another piece of call of duty anything. I am tired of them getting rich off of people like me who work hard and end up with a rummage sale item.

    I bought the game on pre-order and must confess that was very excited about the new multiplayer options, killstreaks and stuff like that until... play the game.

    Let's start speaking about the graphics! Well, in my point of view it was worst than Black Ops 2... The gameplay? Absolutely strange, slower and with a ridiculous FOV... The campaign is too short and doesn't thrill...

    then for some reason I still bought BO2 and I actually liked it, I actually still think that it is the second best call of duty to date.
    So about GHOSTS. I cant understand those scumbags at IW.. I mean, this is the worst game I'v ever seen, indluding how new the game is.
    the MP is barely playable, it has screen tearing even with vsync on, texture flickering, terrible fps drops, crashes...god o'll mighty help us with this crap..
    I own all of the Call of Duty games, yes, definitely something not to be proud of, but I always end up thinking "maybe this time they'v fixed it, now its good!" but no, it never is.. good buy Call of Duty, forever.

    The game does a great job!... of doing the same thing with the Cod 4 engine that IW did with the other CoD games. Disgustingly bad singleplayer paired with poor graphics and too much of an emphasis on multiplayer make this game an obvious miss for those looking for a truly good time.

Sure Battlefield has a far more advanced engine, but the very engine which is supposedly making it better is also bringing it closer to a simulator - and some of us want little more that a simple yet realistic shooter that meets certain standards - which Ghosts exactly does. It doesn't break new ground or deliver kick ass visuals, but by the standards of Call of Duty, Ghosts suffices. The question is simply whether Call of Duty is your cup of tea or not, and whether its standards are high enough for you. Or whether you're a hateful punk. Expand

    The only reason Infinity Ward did this is because they put the PS3 and Xbox 360 version above all else and since these crappy old consoles can't handle the graphics they have to lower the FOV. That's well and good but if they allow higher FOV on PC the screen shots will look too good side by side with console versions and the fanbois won't be happy to shell out for a copy on PS or Xbox and will just blame them for not optimizing it enough.

    Well screw you! My 3570K with 8GB RAM and HD7870 is waaaayyyy more powerful than that and doesn't even break a sweat on highest graphic settings with 100 FOV. Why should I be limited??

    At least BF4, with its less than entertaining single player has a FOV slider all the way to 120 degrees. And kick ass graphics on PC!

Not only did I have to buy a new laptop for this, it wasn't fun in the slightest (no new improvements on previous entries in the series, all the same old stale run and shoot gameplay) and the game didn't even end up utilizing the full 8GB I have now.

    And the PC version doesn't even have FOV setting.

    Well, IW, Activision, YOU.

    Do not buy this game for PC. This is the buggiest game I've ever played. First I couldn't play due to a graphics card error which I was able to fix. Then it wouldn't unlock any loadouts for me to play the game, which is a known common error that they don't give a about.

    I don't care to much about the graphics when I play CoD, so not gonna let that ruin my score. I play BF4 if I want nice graphics.
    The gameplay is smooth as always, and there are very few op weapons.
    One of my main issues are that there are no theatre mode. I really liked that feature, and hope they will put it in the game soon, but it doesn't seem like they will. This is probs because

    Good game, decent graphics. Problem is it appears to be heavily un-optimized and a terrible PC port. No FOV, poor performance (2600k 4.2Ghz, 16GB ram, 3GB 580GTX) even on absolute minimum.

    This deserves an 8.5 in my opinion, but the reviews have been mean, to say the least. People give this game a 0, when a 0 should mean that you are playing the early alpha release of a flash game from 1990. 0 out of 10 for a triple A game is nonsensical, and let me tell you why.

Why should Call of Duty throw away its polished back bone and create something entirely new? Because then it wouldn't be a call of duty game. Lets remember the title. Call of duty. Run to your guns, run run run, shoot shoot shoot. What can you say? It'll be the same old game for gamers like me since the cod 1 era, to the cod ghosts era. It's nothing special, but its definitely not bad.

This is what you can expect from this game. Not to mention this isn't even a high demanding game, for shame Activision, for shame.

    All the controls and mechanics are there from previous versions of COD, but if you select any single mechanic I can list for you the COD game like that did it better and IW shows with Ghosts to have severely lost a step in the Multi-player experience (which, let's be honest, Treyarch has historically done better).

    This all being said I'll leave you with a final question: Is COD: Ghosts a bad game? Well, no. Not exactly. Get the stability issues resolved and it will be fine, which sums it up on the whole. Fine, and uninspired. Hardcore COD fans will feel a bit disappointed, and new COD players will not be as impressed like those of us who played COD:MW were.

    With the exception of the one crash and one hang, the game ran pretty smoothly for me, then again I have a fairly beefy PC.

    The single player campaign although a little unrealistic and over-exaggerated is entertaining and absorbing. I enjoyed the gunfights and the mixing it up with the dog, tanks, space, choppers, ships, etc. I found the campaign a little too short to justify the $60.

    As for multiplayer, I won't go there because I just don't like multiplayer gaming, at all, since it's always repetitive random gun fights and never a humble sportsman-like games but arrogance, cockiness and obnoxiousness.

    I'd say this game is worth about $30-$40 tops.

    Oh, and those who give this game a 0 out of 10 then start off with talking about how bad the multiplayer is... MULTIPLAYER is an ADDITIONAL feature to SINGLE-PLAYER GAMES, IT'S NOT THE MAIN SELLING POINT!

    I loved the previous CoD games and didn't really expect high end graphics. But the graphics are in some level even worse than previous episodes. All other CoD games run with >60 fps on my system; Crysis 3, Battlefield 3, Battlefield 4 and Metro Last light look fantastic and run with 35-50 fps on maximum detail. CoD Ghosts looks on maximum detail much, much, much worse than these games and is running with 15-35 fps. And there are real bad hangers all the time, I can't really play it that way.

    Extremely poor optimized game. I'm putting it on hold until patches fix this mess.

    I really don't get it if I read the comments why people give call of duty ghosts a 0. Some are regarding issues with delivery. Others are complaining about some settings that they haven't changed. People are comparing Call of Duty BO2 with Ghosts made by two different companies. It is true that some things could be better like for example the drivers that NVIDIA released to be used with Call of Duty if you use a GTX card 460 and older in sli. Don't forget this game needs already an 450gt or higher to be aible to play on low or higher upwards. If you don't have this get a new graphic card or don't complain.

    Ok now about the game:

    Single Player

    The Dog
    The single player doesn't show a very clear story line and jumps a little from one to the other story. It isn't a straight story line. The way how they introduce us to the dog is really nice. I felt moments that I really wanted to fight harder to safe the dog. Ofcourse if you don't like dogs this is different.

    The Intel
    Easier to find this time and a want to try.

    The Graphics.
    I don't see the problem with the graphics. We have always known that battlefield has better graphics. Cod is more a feeling and a lot of gameplay fun.

    If I look back to Call of Duty 1
    I really miss the bunnyhopping ;)
    They worked against the bunnyhopping and you can't jump easy away like in previous versions.

    Sliding and climbing over walls while shooting.
    A more lifelike feeling is that you now can utilize your weapon while your doing things and it doesn't just show only your hands.

    The Clan feature and Team
    You now can create your own team and combat with them against others.
    Also you can use your friends created team to help you out.
    The clan is something you create yourself with your know friends. Ofcourse I think that cod is still one of the best in you wanting to play with your friends together.

    Multiplayer.
    At this moment I think that the needed requirements to play cod mp is a little to high. People are using cracks to be aible to play the game on lower then 6gb ram. Also the high Graphic Card needs are a little over the top. This brings a lot of problems ingame at this moment. I needed to upgrade from two 460 gtx sli to 1 760 GTX. Ok the cards are 3 years old but then still I think they should work good. This ofcourse has to do with my own money I want to pay to play. This is also the only thing that gives me a -1 thought. The game itself is again a good nice COD. (If you read COD you don't read battlefield or CS:GO, that is a different metacritic page

    To children you are ruining only metacritic. If you don't like the game, then vote with your wallet(parents wallet).

    I decided not to pre-order this game for so long, due to no information being given around the server system on the pc.

    Eventually Infinity Ward decided to share some information and stated that there would be Dedicated Servers used on all platforms from launch, with Rentable Servers coming post launch and at that point I jumped on the the game because I thought to myself, finally a real replacement for the legendary Call Of Duty Modern Warfare had arrived and the even more legendary Call Of duty 2, which are both amazing games on the PC in this series.

    When the release day came I was like most people all excited to play, but to my utter disappointment the game had so many issues that it was almost impossible to play despite my pc specs being way above anything that a Call Of Duty game could ever require with it's engine.

    The first thing I was greeted by was Blue Screens Of Death as soon as I launched the campaign, multiplayer, squads and extinction modes and I honestly thought there was something wrong with my hardware or drivers, but no it was nothing to do with that as I launched each part of the game again and they launched without a issue.

    However what then greeted me was lag on the menu system, I mean come on how poor does the coding of the game have to be if it is lagging on the menu system so bad, that it takes 10 minutes to change a few graphical options from low to high, and to change a few key bindings.

    I pushed on though and eventually after 30 minutes from initially trying to get in to the game, I was able to get in to my very first game of Call Of Duty Ghosts and oh my what a sight!

    It was so glorious to look at a game that, was released in 2013 and see the same graphical quality of a game that was released in 2002 that I had to sit back and just marvel at the improvements that had been made in 11 years, I mean the details looked like they were made by people in there in there first year of game development school, and I must say here and now I am not a game developer nor do I have the skill, ability or time to develop a game but seeing the likes of the Unreal and Crytek SDK are available I may have to look in to developing a game, since I don't think I could do much worse than this disaster that is called Call Of Duty Ghosts.

    I played my first game though and I stunk really bad, nearly every single bullet I shot at people didn't register. I was left wondering to myself is this another Black Op's 2 where the higher the ping you have the better your experience is, and I thought it cannot be the same we are supposed to be on Dedicated Servers and Infinity Wards net coding is always better than Treyarchs, so I left that game and joined another only to find the same thing happened.

    At this point I played some of the campaign, but thanks to the crashes and the reseting of saves so I had to start the levels all over again each time I completed a level, so I gave up on that and left it alone.

    By this point I was pretty much ready to call it quits on this game, but I though no I have paid good money for this game so lets give it a try.

    I went back on to multiplayer only to be greeted by yet more lag on the menu system, bullets not registering and lag in the multiplayer games themselves, and I thought to myself wtf is going on, why are the servers lagging and then bang "lost connection to host" and I was thrown out of dreamland and in to reality, the game is not using dedicated servers it's using the peer to peer system called IWnet, the lag infested, cheating paradise with no admins to clear the cheaters out.

    I then tried another couple of games to see if it was a mistake or someone was running a hack that allowed them to host games, but no the next couple of days proved we are not on dedicated servers.

    The official call of duty forums for the pc gamers are flooded with reports of cheaters, bugs, requests and all sorts of other things, but the developers seem to not be interested in that or even letting people know they are aware of the issues instead, all you here from them is "xbox this, xbox that"

    At the moment this game is a complete disaster, my pc should be walking all over this game but no it's lagging, stuttering and crashing and with no hope in sight I think this will be the last call of duty game I buy again.

    The game by January will have less players than Black Op's 2 and that had the lowest player count of any call of duty game to date, and Black Op's 2 at this point in it's life had double the pc players that ghosts has now.

    Infinity Ward have not only released a sub par product to the consumers, but they are also not supporting the consumers.

    Infinity Ward stated this game would be the best looking call of duty game to date on the pc, but Modern Warfare 2 looks better. Infinity Ward said the game would use dedicated severs but it's not.

    All I can say is do not contemplate buying this on the pc as it's just unplayable in it's current state!

    I am disappointed with many of the comments, seeing as the reviewers have clearly not played the game.

It has a rocky launch, but picks up about half an hour through, to deliver a semi-fresh plot with lots of the usual violence and explosions. Honestly its not really new, but plays decently enough that its worth completing it.
    Second the Multiplayer: The multiplayer is absolutely amazing, one of the best in the entire COD series. The new graphics engine is clearly visible, and it doesn't even look like a call of duty, engine wise. The new modes are awesome, there are no latency issues, kill streaks are more easily obtainable, but are less over powered, It feels more fluid, and the map designs are phenomenal. While it's not COD 4 or COD 2 level awesome, its far better than the 2 previous games, and it gives MW2 a run for its money. Its Polished, fresh, not laggy, and all around more enjoyable.
    Third, Extinction: First off Extinction, in my eyes, is not as fun as Zombies, but its still pretty freaking awesome. It feels kind of like Black Ops: Zombies, Left 4 Dead, and Payday 2 all had a three-way and came up with this. Extinction is an objective based alien-shooter, you drill out these giant blob-pod things and hold off against aliens in the process. You can upgrade your soldier w/ skill points, and by defense systems like turrets, and explosives. All in all, while it doesn't live up to Black Ops: Zombies, its still a fantastic first attempt from infinity ward.
    Ultimately this game is what the Call of Duty series needed, its polished, mostly fresh, latency issue free, and hugely enjoyable, unless that is you hate the Call of Duty series, and wont give it a chance (like most of the other reviews on here).

    I give it a 9/10.

    Connection is Fantastic, haven't lagged once since playing and have has no issues with FPS drops or connection stutters. Nice array of guns with lots of strengths, the shotguns could be a bit stronger.

    Good perk system, like the way they've done it and opens up a lot more variety to your load-out choices,
    The maps may not be everyone's cup of tea, but i enjoy around half of them. And those are the ones that i will continue playing.. Enjoying the game a lot so far after 2 days and around 13-15 hours game time..

    Addictive, Fun, if you don't like it.. don't play it.. simple

    CoD style thankfully not much changed, enhanced with new graphics and new levels. Evolution, not revolution, but solid product, series fan will enjoy it :).

    I've observed some audio problems in pre-rendered cut-scenes in single player mode, but aside of that game runs great. 6 GB required RAM looks strange, as task manager (CTRL-SHIFT-ESC) usually shows that games take less than 2 GB

    The only thing that is remotely the same as previous versions is the multiplayer formula: fast paced twitch shooting with little downtime. Different game modes such as Search and Rescue and Blitz improve upon multiplayer to keep things interesting. Squad gameplay is a nice way to get some training in for new players and also provides its own game modes.

    For me, the true gem of Ghosts is the Co-op gameplay brought on by safeguard and extinction. Safeguard is like MW3's survival while extinction replaces the zombie mode from previous games. As long as you turn mouse acceleration off via your mouse software, the game runs fantastically and the graphics are much improved. and it has space. Anyone complaining about graphics hasn't bothered to turn the settings off of low, which is a blurry mess.

    I think currently people are just hating on it because it is Call Of Duty Ghosts I'm willing to bet most of the users here haven't even played that game. Suprisely this one has the most changes they have ever done to Call Of Duty with new very much needed customised improvements to the multiplayer meaning more time and thought process is needed for designing your classes as now you can make a class and not get away with it like in past Call Of Duty games.

    The campaign is short but has a much more interesting story and some impressive scenes and level design.

    I think people are confused to why they hate Call Of Duty. I believe the reason you hate it is because you think it is ruining the gaming industry when it is just its own game series that has done nothing wrong (Out side of their series) its the developers trying to make their games like Call Of Duty that are ruining their own games and their own series to try and win over some of the Call Of Duty players when I think that if they did something different that Call Of Duty this might bring them over as its not just more Call Of Duty. So don't blame Call of Duty for your game series going to (Halo4 my opinion) blame the ones trying to make it like Call Of Duty.

    Give this game a try you might surprise yourself they did a good job this time round.

    If you can get past the boring American rhetoric, cheesy brotherly love and mad hatter (bonkers) story line I guarantee you will love this for what it is, which is a no holds barred, full on, OTT, escapist piece of gaming entertainment. And yes, I play all types of games, many of which are from Indie developers: Deadlight, Two brothers (one of my favourite games of this year), The Binding of Issac, The Bridge etc. etc.

    I think some of you should consider joining the console fan boy's and get a PS4/X-Box One this Christmas as your clearly not real PC gamers. Love to know if anyone else agrees with me on this thrilling (if not exactly ground breaking) game.

    Guns in space, who'd have thought it, reminds me of Moonraker. Ahh, the good old days of the Atari. Peace to all.

    Even if you don't get a lot of fun out of it, it's an enjoyable romp with enjoyable graphics and tight gameplay. That's at least a 6 in my book. The more-enjoyable-than-average campaign gives it an extra point (if only for the AWESOME space sections), and the fact that I was able to get it for 30€ just two months after release make the one last point in my score. It's a meh game for 50-60€, but a damn good one for half of that.

    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.

    This has to be the most recycled CoD game of all times. The only 'new' feature is 'the dog". The entire single player campaign is completely forgettable as the big moments are just rehashed bits of the previous games. The PC version has some rather hefty requirements it looks and plays better than the console versions but it just isn't anything special from a technical point of view.This has to be the most recycled CoD game of all times.

    The multiplayer on the other hand is just the usual stuff we've seen before with some serious 'misses' thrown into the mix. The 'aliens' bit is just a one-time affair, no reason to replay it. The new modes are nonsensical (the "you will now blow up" mode has to be the 'king' here).

It's fully original, but the people who say that it took things from the other games, those people neither have played the older games, nor the newer ones. Plus, if you want change, instead of on the game itself, write a review on it, saying what you want changed, what you didn't like or did like.
