    Call Of Duty Ghosts has an amazing single player, an excellent multiplayer and a very important addition to Call Of Duty series. I really do not understand why the negative reviews this game, I believe that children are adults who want to look and Battlefield fanboys. And the best versions of this game certainly is on PlayStation 3,PlayStation 4 and WiiU.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you don't know what Call of Duty is you musta been living under a rock or something.As the tradition says,we get CoD every freakin' year.TBH,CoD has slighty changed every year.And every year it sinks deeper and deeper.After the fenomenal CoD 4 came ALOT of CoD games that were the same.Of course,after Black Ops 2 came out I started thinking that CoD is going in the right direction.Blops2 was pretty damn good.But,that only aplies to Treyarch,beacuse it seems that Infinity Ward just doesn't give a lets see the mess that came from the labs of IW...oh boy...

    Okay,first things first:the graphics.I'm not the graphics guy,but I must say that Blops2 had better graphics (I promise that I will stop comparing these two,okay?).I don't know,just Blops2 had more lively colors,but Ghosts has more of a Grey pallet kinda-thingy.Even the character models look dull (atleast in SP).

    Now,lets talk about gameplay and Singleplayer.Gameplay wise,it's a pretty much the same.There are some cool features in the game (like Riley,sniping with the remote sniper... etc.),but none of these features are that ground breaking...So gameplay is standard.Its fluid,fast,and it can keep you entertained.Okay,now comes the singleplayer.It sucks compared to ANY CoD I played.Every CoD had the singleplayer campaign,which was a short,but pretty epic,experience.Ghosts threw that outta the fooping window!You can predict the games story by just watching the news on TV!So apparently China or whoever stole some nice ODIN equipment blah blah blah EXPLOSIONS,boom boom boom,GUNFIGHTS.Thats the only thing you will experience this time around!The main character is Logan or something which doesn't even talk...I thought we got over that like 5 years ago!Even Blops2(I LIED)hasn't got a main character who doesn't talk¨!You can clearly see that IW was strugling to bring something this time around!Like wtf?So after a while your gonna finish this game...Your dads gonna be killed,Rileys gonna be shot,someones brain fell out when making this game....at the end of this stupid campaign you get a RETARDED cliffhanger,which probally means there is gonna be more of ghosts,which I REALLY hope not.In terms of SP that is.Hey,Jack you retarded say.What about extinction? IN THE SACK.Extinction is zombies but with aliens.SO THAT MEANS IT SUCKS SO BADLY THAT I HAD TO TURN OFF MY PC!Nothing in extinction makes sense!The ONLY good thing is the LOL easter egg,but even that can be boring after 10 minutes UGH!

    Okay,here comes the multiplayer part.Suprisingly enough,there are some pretty cool modes here and there.Like Safeguard,Hunted,Infected etc.The player customization is pretty much THE BEST THING IN THE GAME!woot!*pops confetti*!There is thousands and thousands of possible combinations(you can even be a girl)!There are some special options,like the Ghillie suit,or the ghost mask,or the new ghost mask.Weapons and everything else is standard.But now you can get these tokkens or whatever so you can earn easier,without leveling.Its a nice touch,but it cant fix an ultimately broken game.Maps are bigger which is better and there is A CRAP TONN of 'em.Also some maps can be destroyed in a battlefieldy way...there is a map with a gas station and if you destoy it it blows the up and it changes the gameplay a little bit and it opens new place to camp from.woow...So in conclusion multiplayer is the reason why to buy this game.As for bugs there are few but they are not gamebreaking,apart the ridicolous requerments.The next gen engine is not that much better than the standard engine.
    BUT,there is a thing that bugs me....when they announced Ghosts,I thought this game would be more stealth based.That is a HUGE dissapointment.For me,atleast.

    So in conclusion,this game is not for everyone.For people who want to play the SP are gonna be dissapointed.People who want some nice weekend action,they would probally want to rent it.Only the TRYHARD FANS of CoD are gonna enjoy the game.But hey,that's how Activision makes money,right?

    Well, perhaps in front of us the best representative of a series of call of duty!
    Not looking for a fairly short story that can be completed in four hours at Infinity Ward to get a high-quality blockbuster each subsequent misiya not like the previous, cool graphics and plenty of modes for multiplayer. In general, the game was cool but not without faults that...

    Ghost's singleplayer doesn't have the best storyline, nor realism, but it's definitely something that'll keep you occupied for 5 hours. You might want to buy for about $15 if you manage to find it that low.

    The multiplayer on the other hand is absolutely awful. It's terribly unbalanced and butchered with Infinity Ward's religion of a locked FOV of 65; which if you unlock can risk a VAC

The only thing good about the multiplayer is the squad points system, which lets you unlock whatever guns and attachments you want without having to struggle your way up to level 55. Ghosts is also terribly optimized and will take up 51 gigs of your hard drive.

    This game is not the worst cod ever made, but it's far from being the best. The single player campaign sucks and the multiplayer is ok with a few issues.
    The extincion mode is a very cool addition and i think it may be better than the zombie mode.

    Personally, I think that this game is an upgrade from Black Ops 2. I'm especially fond of the new Extinction mode, it's a welcome change from the old Zombies games. The game is, although it's "the same as the others", fun to play. Sliding around the map avoiding the other team can be pretty amusing. What's so wrong with this game for it to have such a low score?

Also, the amount of hackers exceed MW3 and Bo2 combined, having at least 1 hacker every 3 lobbies on average. Also, there have already been hackers and cheaters since the time of the Beta test, possibly even at the Alpha Stage. Also, there is no point to 'gunfights' anymore. It doesn't matter what the damage is, what the range is, or whatever else there is. One of the players, and it doesn't matter which one it is, will always win the gunfight through some strange miracle. Tons of killcams now show how people only hit around 1 bullet, maybe none of their bullets, but still kill. Ghost has really been a disappointment. Expand

Most of the time you'll be running around aimlessly, as the maps also have no direction whatsoever. There are countless angles for someone to come up behind you, and that will probably be 75% of your deaths. Most of the maps are a camper's paradise because they are filled with clutter. It's very difficult to anticipate where the enemies are coming from most of the time, which for a run-and-gun game like CoD, this is a horrible thing. The maps really are my major gripe with the game. Yes, they are that bad, and I strongly recommend avoiding this game for that reason.

The Maps are all Terrible! they have absolutely no new interesting game modes (Matter of fact, they've removed many of the funnest game modes) All Assault Rifles are a 2 shot kill and Shotguns are spammable.

On top of that, this game brought my machine to it's knees, giving me an average of 30 FPS, while I could play games such as Black Ops 2, BF3, and even Crysis 2 with much better performance.

If you are looking for a fun Call Of Duty game, I'd recommend Black Ops 2. The graphics are still pretty decent, and it doesn't bog down your entire PC for no apparent reason. On top of that, the gameplay is much better, and overall more interesting, and innovative than anything Infinity Ward has given us in the past three years.

    The only slightly positive thing about this game is the single player, despite being very short (as usual with CoD). Well written and entertaining.

    Everything else is unfortunately negative. It requires humongous specs. So I expected HD quality graphics and the IW guys promised quote: 'over 60 fps on all platforms'. Maybe they need to clarify what they mean by 'all platforms'.

    It requires humongous specs. So I expected HD quality graphics and the IW guys promised quote: 'over 60 fps on all platforms'. Maybe they need to clarify what they mean by 'all platforms'. Because on the PC it jumps between 60-60 to under 20. Often it turns into a slideshow. And now we know PS3 paleyers suffer from framerate stutters too.

    In general the graphics appear very dated think CoD UO. BLOPS and BLOPS2 look much modern in every way.

    Only 65 degree field of view? Which cannot be adjusted!!?? WTF Activi$ion?! Do you know is 2013 and most of us use 16:9 widescreen monitors?!! This is a major fail!

    MP is crazy as always I find the standard MP unplayable the only one that I can cope with is hardcore. But that is a let down too due to very limited number of maps and game types you can use.

    Customization is minimal I don't really care for it but is worse even than BLOPS 1.

    The maps I played so far are minuscule the only big map is on standard game type only which I find unplayable to get a kill you need to hit 4-5 times.

    I will persevere with some of the other new game types, however this is turning to be not just the worst CoD, but just a bad game in general.

    If you have the game and also have CoD 4 fire that up and check out the MP gameplay. It still beats this hands down. Collapse

    Poor port, cant max it out even though my PC is more than capable of doing so. I tried the free multiplayer weekend recently and as I perfectly predicted... It was the same game as the previous Call of Duty. Which was Black Ops 2. They claimed that Ghosts was going to be next gen and all this other stuff when it wasn't at all in the slightest.

    This game doesn't require a 64-bit

It was the same game as the previous Call of Duty. Which was Black Ops 2. They claimed that Ghosts was going to be next gen and all this other stuff when it wasn't at all in the slightest.

    This game doesn't require a 64-bit operating system at all. It's still the same game, engine, everything. Considering they ran it on Xbox 360 and PS3 it clearly shows that it didn't need or have to be 64-bit on PC. If anything, I think it's just a cheap marketing tactic to trick people into thinking that the engine has been upgraded when it hasn't at all.

    The graphics are pretty much the same, fairly low resolution textures, the same shadows, everything.

    It's very disappointing. If anything, Ghosts is a step backwards because they user interface is slightly more confusing adding along a point system to save up and buy weapons to make everyone diverse in terms of weapons and equipment.

    As for the port, it's quite bad. The frame rate goes up and down like a yo-yo because it's been optimised poorly. You need to turn off a few options to get decent frame rate as well as set all the textures to 'extra' as they're blurry if set to automatic. Although, I will say I do like that they've added multiple options for anti-aliasing such as FXAA and MSAA as well as MLAA which I think all developers should include in their games as I really don't like FXAA because it looks awful. Although I will say the only game I think has done a decent job at FXAA is Bioshock Infinite but anyway...

    Overall, it's a fairly bad port, pretty much the same game, small maps, simply bad. Hey, guess what they're going to do in the next Call of Duty... That's right. The exact same thing! They'll sucker you into their marketing tactics just like Ghosts. That is, if you keep buying the exact same game every year which I hope you dont.

    Brutally poor optimization for the PC port. Was barely playable at launch and they really didn't make much of an attempt to improve it by the end of it's run as the latest Call of Duty title. Hands down, one of the worst Call of Duty experiences I've had... and I played Modern Warfare 3.

    I have no issues with running the game as it runs very well with my set up. The colors, the graphics, the weapons and uniforms are all so blue/gray that it blends all surroundings and looks too cartoonish. Sadly the best of the COD series remains COD4 & MW2. The weapons, movement, in-game fluidity are far superior in the older games and it this game lacks that realism.

    I wonder how long we will be idiotic enough to continue buying these games in hopes of Activision actually putting out something great.
    Sadly Activision could take MW2, enhance the weapon attachments, perk system, kill streaks, uniforms and add a function to personalize clan tags, etc... and drastically grow the map collections and have a far superior game! Why try so many changes while continually failing when you have a great game to build on? Sure you tried it with MW3 and it was a valiant effort but the fact is, you did it quickly and it is very glitchy.
    Activision is now trying to put out the new COD Advance Warfare after stealing ideas from Titanfall. The weapons are still junk and the maps are mediocre.

Good luck aiming at a guy when he's stuttering across the screen like something out of Jacob's Ladder.

    Before, I was enjoying the game because the lag was tolerable, but now? It's awful--and Infinity Ward couldn't care less. This is flat out embarrassing for what is undoubtedly one of the richest gaming companies in the business. On top of that, there are still NO DEDICATED SERVERS. What gives? That was one of the reasons I decided to buy the game, because it seemed like IW was finally making amends with PC gamers and giving us what we've wanted for so long. But it's just the same old crap; broken promises and heaps of optimization issues.

    There is fun to be had in the game if you're very tolerant, but not 60 dollars worth of fun. CoD: Ghosts was my first CoD I've purchased on day one, and will be my last.

On the other hand requirements increased rapidly and new CoD is requiring Intel Quad Core GPU like Geforce gtx770 in order to get constant 60fps on high settings there is plenty of frame drops and stuttering without any good reason[ high settings in cod is worse then lowest in bf4]. there is no FOV slider in game for pc players LOL-Multiplayer: Few interesting maps, more of them are just bad with enemies spawing behind you, or with camping spots. Players camp all the time and know there is now UAV or SAT to spot them... so expect camper in every window and in every corner. Gunplay is idiotic, weapons have bigger side to side recoil then up/down. CoD even mw3 were quite fun to play cause there was a lot of run&gun jumping etc. Now its more static and i guess players are forced to camp. There are not many weapons to play with, there is no server browserm only dumb p2p matchmaking[ or dedicated matchmaking], CoD Cinema was completely removed so now you cant watch your replays or check if someone was a cheat or he jus had been a pro. For me it looks like a lazy work.
    SinglePlayer- I had some fun but its not as fun as mw trilogy or blackopses and i bought this game for MP.
    Extinction- There are plenty of COOP games for few bucks, this mode is compared to them. Its just boring and pointless.
    In Conclusion- Dont buy this game. Maybe if people stop buying unfinished or just bad game then devs and their publishers will try harded to deliver a proper entartaining product. For now Activision is focused only on and they dont care about players there is no FOV slider in game for pc players-

    A massive step back from Black Ops 2. How on earth could they make this one even worse than Modern Warfare 2?

    Modern Warfare 2 was the worst PC port ever made. This one is somehow worse. It is so buggy, broken, and otherwise shoddy. This game is worse than Aliens: Colonial Marines.

    Multiplayer is an improvement in terms of them actually removing the bull crap that was in previous CoD games, where you had to be like level 60 to unlock your favorite gun.

The unlock system remains but you can do what you did in the original Black Ops, which is using tokens to buy guns, which I deeply like, I usually avoid CoD multiplayer since I played MW2 and just had grown hatred of it since, but this one I might play for a bit longer.

    Okay the singleplayer, so far not that great, Black Ops 2 was better. The campaign is very handholdy, you get to use these cool tactical items but they are scripted to very specific times in the game. Want to use that remote sniper again while your pinned down in a fire fight? Tough luck, you need to progress and wait for the prompt at the specific point in the story. These ideas could have been great if the developers respected our intelligence, like on veteran mode if they would tweak the difficulty so that you would NEED to use the automatic sniper more often, and other times they are just over powered. There is this seizure inducing tactical weapon in the game that when you use it, it basically blinds enemies as long as you have it up... No not pointed at them, just turn it on. I faced directly away from them and they still couldn't shoot me. Gunplay is upped somewhat on a couple of guns, some of them have good sound assets and such but it feels very familiar. In fact I think the weapons were better in Black Ops 2. The story is just OK, Black Ops 2 had good voice work, progressing story and your average likable soldier characters. Here it's really just not that great, the story has some interesting ideas but never really improves them in the gameplay aspect, I mean in CoD you were already killing thousands of soldiers while your dumbass friendly AI shot at walls so I still don't feel like America is as vulnerable as it should feel and your as out gunned as you should be.

    Finally, the P.C. port, wow, just, awful. I run a i7 3.5 GHZ with an ATI 7950 and I can't hit a solid 60 at high settings, to give you an example of what this card can do. Crysis 3 (bare in mind it is optimized heavily for my card brand) can run at 60 fps butter smooth at max settings (except shadows) at 1080p and it looks damn better, in fact, crysis 1 looks better than this game.

    In the end, Call of Duty Ghost's singleplayer is not as good as Black Ops 2 but the multiplayer might easily be (I haven't played any of Black Ops 2s for more than 30 minutes but they did bring back the old system of gun levels in that game so...) but the PC port and its 60 dollar asking price for 30 gigs of mostly wasted space is a hard sell. It's a slightly above average game with many hours of content but the PC port pushes it down.

    The set pieces are kind of cool in some missions, and I like the tank mission at the end, but it also felt quite artificially prolongued and the ending was absurd and silly for so many reasons...

    It's still a sight to see in a way though, even if it's to experience what Activision deemed, not only a Call of Duty game, but also one that was going to be the first one for the new generation of consoles, and it sold a lot, as it always does, but it sucked and in the end, if historicity has done anything, is reafirm the fact that this is widely considered to be the worse game in the franchise by far, and with good reason.

    Since MW2 COD sinks deeper and deeper. This game is for me the end of the series. I wont buy the next titles, because i will no longer support such greedy sacks (sorry for sacks). Will you support them, or are you fresh for new First Person Shooters? I said fresh.

This is so bad and there is no way I could have known. It didn't say anywhere that 6gb of ram is minimum but you can't even play if you don't have the minimum. Big waste of money! Could have been enjoying Battlefield 4 instead of writing this negative review. Now I have to wait until I have money to order 8gb of ram.

    So, this is my 3rd COD. The first one MW1 and I did not like it. So I skipped the whole series for a long time. Then BO2 was realeased, I bought it and enjoyed it. It was really good game (and still is). So I decided to pre-order Ghosts.
    It was HUGE mistake.
    At this moment this game is like any f2p fps in beta stage. The performance is a joke, graphics is ok, but map design and/or fx

    At this moment this game is like any f2p fps in beta stage. The performance is a joke, graphics is ok, but map design and/or fx makes that it's really hard to spot an enemy (at least at forest and winter maps the game is so bad, that I didnt check any others). I smell campfest.
    Next thing is FOV, locked to 65. Also imo this game is not as fast as BO2 is. It's bugged, slow, campy piece of garbage.

    Does this game succeed as a video game? Yes, it's the old fashion "shoot the thing" attitude that we all enjoy from time to time. "Shoot the thing" is a very easy formula and Activision is capitalizing on it. I will not say CoD is the best "shoot the thing" because there are so many games that are so similar, most of them are free to play so just play one of those to get your fix.

I will not say CoD is the best "shoot the thing" because there are so many games that are so similar, most of them are free to play so just play one of those to get your fix. Where Ghost fails is in the fact that it is a sequel (don't say its a new series, if a copy and paste cutscene is in the game it's not a new series). The point of a sequel is to replace the previous game in theory. If you are playing halo4 why would you play halo2. When you play the newest game of a franchise you should not want to play the previous game, unless its for nostalgia, and Ghost does not do that for me. I played MW2 the other day and i found myself having an equal if not a more fun time than i did while playing ghost. The levels are better and the perks are simple and the kill streaks are not over powered (aside from the nuke). If the call of duty franchise went as follows; CoD 4, Mw2, Black ops 2 in the same time span, meaning 4 of these games would not exist and there would be about 2 years between each game. I would not have as fed op with this series if I had TIME to miss the game. There will be parades in the street when BattleFRONT 3 comes out because it will have been like 8 years. Sorry Call of Duty I loved you when you were 4 but know that your 9 I feel like its time to call it finished. Expand

    Hey, it's ok if you face someone better then you.
    But what you will face in the multiplayer is a multitude of super/ninjas/mega/power/ultra/obiwan/guru/jedi players!!!
    Well, i have tried a refund from Steam but they won't refund.
    So after 6 months after this worst purchase that i have ever made i think.
    Well, things can be better and problems can be solved.
    Let's try to play again.

    Today, 04 june of 2014 i have entered in the multiplayer.
    How many players has worldwide?
    Only 1113!
    After waiting a few minutes because there is no much players avaliable i started the game.

    In the first few seconds i see an player running and crossing a door and i'm in his back.
    I just start running in his direction as i'm in his back he is not seeing me.
    What happen is when i cross the door he is aiming in my direction and shooting!

    Seeing the replay the player by nothing has just stop going in the direction and returning back to my direction aiming down.
    When I cross the door he just shot.

    Ok, coincidences happen.
    I play for more a few minutes and the player is the TOP in the team with zero deaths.

    OK, the player can be a super skilled guy with a long time of play in the map.

    But in the end what happens is that games like that doens't attrack new players and some old players that just enjoy a good action FPS giveup.

    There is a minority of super/mega/power players that must play in dedicated rooms with only themselves.

    Maybe we merelly mortals with normal skills deserve a game that we can play with fun.

    Just forget to buy this game.
    You will only see a lot of cheaters or super power players that you won't have fun.

As always, no thought was put into the story line and all focus was put into the multiplayer. Also it seemed that Activison was observing Treyarch and decided to put their own version of Zombies into the game. This however turned out to be terrible to as it didn't contain a lot of content and became boring seeing the same enemy 50 times every wave. It seems Activision didn't put a lot of time into this and wanted it out before the fanboys got too hectic. Maybe further updates can resolve these problems but for now, I recommend you don't buy it.

    A series known for close quarters combat, Infinity Ward decided to create and explore, larger and more diverse maps. To me, Infinity Ward should have strayed away from this and created maps that suit the Call of Duty feel that we are all used to.

    The reason I just made an account for Metacritic was to review this "wonderful" new expansion for COD:4. I'll get to why I gave it a 5 out of 10 soon enough, so just bear with me.

    I have been an avid COD player since before Modern Warfare came out and changed the way developers looked at First-Person-Shooters. Ever since COD:4, however, I have seen the trend with each new expansion to COD's best game ever, every year. Although they have added new mechanics, guns, and overall content with each new game (And then took it away every developer switch) they have yet to make anything but the same thing over and over again, and Ghosts is no exception.

    Some of the new features, such as Squad Points and Extinction Mode, are neat and brought a tiny bit of life into the game, just enough for people to shell out their hard-earned $60 for the "game". The graphics aren't much of an improvement from Black Ops II, and can even look like a step back from the right angle. Aside from some unbalanced guns and some other useless kill-streaks, COD:Ghosts managed to do what I thought was impossible, continue to make money AND further destroy what was once an amazing series. The proof is in the overwhelming negative reviews from players and even critics.

    On a side note, for being in the future the games sure does a good job of making me feel like I'm back around the time of Black Ops I. With Hueys and modern scout helicopters flying around, I can't tell if we're in the time of the Vietnam War or in 2013. It gets even more confusing when people bring out the higher-end kill-streaks, which place you in command of a support or ground attack satellite. I can't imagine it would have taken much to, at the very least, include an Osprey kill-streak or something that looks somewhat more futuristic. I understand the plot of the Single-Player campaign, however that isn't an excuse to dumb down the technology in the online MP.

    Now, to my reason why I gave this game 5 out of 10. My reason for doing this, is that although the game may be not great overall, it pretty much gave me exactly what I was expecting. I never expected a better addition to the ongoing list of expansions, and I haven't for the last three COD "games". Black Ops II was a little surprise for me as I thought it was going to be worse than it actually was, however this game didn't fail to meet my low expectations: Stale and overused gameplay, more unbalancing in MP, and same or worse graphics. Although I say these things, the game can be fun when played with friends. Although the gameplay is by far stale and repetitive, I can say for sure that the new modes are fun and can somehwhat make up for the same game modes we've seen before. Overall, it's not as bad of a game as everyone says it is, however it certainly isn't something that Infinity Ward will ever be bragging about.

    If you're looking for something new and exciting, I would recommend Battlefield 4 if you don't mind some server issues. If you're playing on the PC and just want to have fun with friends, I would recommend Sanctum 2 or Dungeon Defenders instead of COD:Ghosts.

    DISCLAIMER: I only owned Ghosts for the Xbox 360 and now on the Xbox One, so this only applies to the game on the consoles. I can't say anything for the game on the PC as I do not own it and have never played it.
