While some struggled to grasp its mechanics, the developers' explanations shed light on the intentional design choices behind spawning and map layouts. Ghosts brought a fresh perspective to the Call of Duty franchise, pushing boundaries in both gameplay and storytelling. The campaign, though not the most memorable, offered a solid experience, while the multiplayer introduced unique elements that set it apart from its predecessors. The Extinction mode also injected variety with its cooperative alien-hunting gameplay. With hindsight, Ghosts' early detractors missed the game's forward-thinking contributions, making it a noteworthy entry in the series.… Expand

    This is the best Call of Duty game ever released by a country mile, this Game's plot and characters are the best in the series. I would give the sloppiest head to everyone at Infinity Ward to make a sequel to it.

    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.

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

    call of duty:ghost in my opinion sucks it may be the worst cod game I've ever played let's start with the multiplayer it is hot steaming garbage the maps are terrible they are too big it takes me around two decades to find someone the sat-com it the worst killstreak in existence and getting kills just doesn't fell good.

    Probably one of the most hated call of duty's ever, but I really enjoyed this call of duty compared to a lot of others. The campaign was actually very good, the newly innovated alien game mode was amazing and I loved it, but unfortunately, they cut that in the other games. The multiplayer was probably the weakest, but still very fun.

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

    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.
