Il finale é la cosa meno piaciuta, soprattutto perché sono passati 10 anni e ancora non c'è il seguito. Un 7 se lo merita.… Expand

    This is one of the mediocre CoD of the series...the campain is the only thing very enjoyable for everyone but the PvP mode is very boring and frustrating there are too many problem in this,for the PvE mode Extinction is cool but has only one map and thats pretty sad

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    When we talk about Call of Duty, we talk about cinematic experience with rich budget and special effects, not deep story, but with memorable moments and charismatic characters.

Ghosts has a lot of these things, but it's weak for Call of Duty in the same time, especially after Modern Warfare series. The weakest point of this chapter is the first Act, as for me. If you can handle it, 2nd and 3rd will be ok. From the game design and directing point of view, there are not enough interesting missions with curious directing. The game doesn't have a calm moment when the player can breathe a little bit.

    Long story short, if you're looking for Call of Duty experience, try better Cold War.    … Expand

Up to try any genre of games and sometimes I find something new that I didn't think I'd like. I own a PC (built by me), Xbox One X, Xbox Series X, PS3, PS4, PS5, and a Switch. I prefer Playstation due to their focus on narrative games. For scoring, I’ll be using the Gameinformer review scale and of coursed influenced by my personal opinions.

    (7) Average. The game’s feature may work, but are nothing that even causal players haven’t seen before

    Call of Duty Ghosts still has that COD smooth gun gameplay that we all love. It improves graphically, though I still prefer the more realistic art of the first Modern Warfare. I didn’t think the campaign was that bad but it’s definitely a step down from the first two Modern Warfare games and Black Ops story. Didn’t stay with the multiplayer component for too long but what was there was just like the past iterations of the series, pretty average.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. COD Ghosts took a lot of steps backward for the franchise, after Black Ops 2 came out many people thought we would get Modern Warfare 4 and we got something brand new. What really screwed up Ghosts the most was the execution of the game itself. Everybody was expecting Modern Warfare 4 and they wanted to see a Game that was bigger and better than Battlefield but what did we get? DOGS AND DEMON DOGS upon end...

    The Campaign sadly just felt like a shallow version of previous COD campaigns looking almost identical with lots of people saying that some parts are Copied & Pasted. The last mission of the Campaign just felt like the incredible troll because you think you killed Rorke (The Main Antagonist) but all of a sudden he survived the Train Crash and he drags you away after he gets out of water. You just think that there's gonna be a sequel but it hits you with a massive cliffhanger & because of the reception the game got, Infinity Ward decided to not do a sequel.

    Extinction was pretty cool Game mode when it was introduced because instead of fighting endless waves of Zombies, you fought against Aliens in an objective-style mode where you have to complete the main objective in order to finish the level. You get to choose which Class you want to have like the Weapon Specialist which can deal more Bullet Damage & has a faster ADS speed, a Tank where they have more Health and can deal more Melee Damage, an Engineer which can provide more health for the drill, get cash back from buying traps, and only has the ability to use weapons when repairing the drill, and a Medic which can revive teammates faster & has faster Health Regeneration. For the rest of the player's load-out, they get to choose their preferred Pistol, Ammo Type, Team Support Items, Strike Packages, & Equalizer Packages. The "Down" System from Zombies also applies to Extinction but when a player dies they can spectate others and their dead bodies will be marked with Dog Tags showing where their last position was. What's crazy about Extinction is that there's Prestiges just like in Multiplayer. But, unlike Multiplayer which has 10 Prestiges, Extinction originally had only 5 Prestiges but after every DLC Map was dropped the mode added 5 more prestiges, and after the 4th Map came out there were a total of 25 Prestiges. But, the player had to reach LVL 30 before prestiging. After prestiging, the player gets awarded with Relics which are personal modifiers that make the game challenging like taking more damage when injured, having to inability to purchase weapons, etc. Halfway through the lifecycle of Ghosts, Extinction introduced an upgrade system simply called the Armory, where your currency was using "Teeth" to purchase upgrades. "Teeth" is first earned by completing missions, then you earn more Teeth by using Relics, playing on the hardest difficulty "Hardcore", or helping other players complete missions. Other ways to earn Teeth are by killing 300 Cryptids, achieving specific ranks for the first time or by prestiging the same way, completing 10 challenges or successfully completing all of the challenges in a mission, & using relics. Even though most people call Extinction the worst Zombies Alternative, I'm one of those players who personally enjoyed the mode and I wouldn't mind it being brought back in a future COD Game. Extinction obviously won't be better than Zombies, but the mode is still a lot of fun to play!

    But, when Ghosts was released the Multiplayer was doo-doo but as the game progressed it started to feel more balanced & enjoyable. Even today, the guard dog kill-streak has 3X the amount of health of the player, people are throwing I.E.Ds (even myself) in the most random spot getting cheap kills, & people leaning and camping with Thermal LMGs. Personally, Ghosts had the worst launch maps ever except Strikezone because every map was designed to be a 9v9, 12v12, or 18v18 map because those maps were massive. One of the maps, Stonehaven is one of the worst COD maps ever because of again the size. But, when the DLC Maps dropped they made the launch maps look like **** because they were less bigger and they were more colorful. But, when you're leveling up through multiplayer you didn't earn weapons and killstreaks by leveling up, you had to buy them with Squad Points. Squad Points were your in-game currency to buy guns, kill-streaks, attachments, lethal & tactical grenades but it didn't feel like the COD Points from Black Ops 1. And lastly, the multiplayer has 35 perks in the Game. What the Hell is this?!? How do you balance a COD Game with that many perks??

    Overall, Ghosts was a okay-good game all around. But, it still isn't a bad game in general and there are some moments that are enjoyable but since the game was hit with a lot of criticism, I have to give Ghosts a 6/10.    … Expand

    This is just generically bad call of duty game with a retarded story and nothing to talk about.
    The weapon sound bad, it doesn't feel good to shoot people it's just a downgrade for infinityward all the way down, the worst part is it Just leave you with a feeling of emptiness and sadness for the people who used all this time and money on a game that is just kind of there

    Listen, ghosts for a lot of people marked the end of the golden era of call of duty. I think I tend to agree with that.

    I liked the game for a bit it's not bad but it's not good, I like the more realistic take on the series with the melee kills taking longer and the TTK getting smaller. But if you want to make a game more realistic actually put more realistic features and don't just stop in the middle by just adding annoying realistic features!

The only thing I still like about the game is the dog I want more dogs, dogs are life. I also liked the vector and honey badger which were two guns that looked and felt snappy. The extinction mode instead of zombies is fun at first but lacks maps and content unless you pay for DLC's which there are like 3 million of for everything. In my mind this is what we call a transition game it was the new game on a different gen and despite developers wanted to make it a fully fledged game it isn't. The game is there for the experimentation of new ideas and capabilities that the new gen has and in the end it was just a game that helped bring new ideas to a series as it changed. The reason I put it at a 6 rating is cause even though it didn't live up to expectations you can still in circumstances have fun with the game. And all the little veteran haters who put a zero on this game are just crybabies who say they want change in games but in the end only want Call of duty 4 remastered. Only games such as Alien colonial marines should have a score of under 3 this game has good AI, nice graphics for the time, a snappiness to the guns I haven't seen before and a campaign (notice how I didn't say good campaign because it's not it's playable and the missions are fine some a really fun but the writing for it is trash seriously they were glauting about having an academy award winning writer and he produces this trash story) so in the end it's definitely not in the top ten best COD games but it's still a fun game sometimes.… Expand

    Ghosts isn't a bad game; it just isn't special. The story was entertaining and had some fun action sequences, the multiplayer was decent, and the extinction game mode was original. It's fun and completely unexceptional.

    Call of Duty Ghosts should keep fans of the franchise going for hours thanks to its uniqualy strange story and its facinating multiplayer graphics and modes, but CoD is starting to show signs that the franchise isn't where it is anymore.

    Call of Duty: Ghosts isn’t treading any new ground, but the single player campaign is still a memorable one. But with each installment it’s getting harder and harder to get excited about Call of Duty’s multiplayer. Refining the same ideas over and over again is no longer enough, the multiplayer is in dire need of a complete re-design. [Nov 2013]

    Call of Duty is a series that is oftentimes criticized for making the same game year after year, which is of course totally true and Ghosts is no exception. It even feels like a step back. The campaign is devoid of anything interesting and even the online part feels uninspired. It’s not a bad game by any means but it’s like its predecessors, only worse.
