    Without question the reason I'm back into gaming on the next generation of consoles. Did it live up to the hype? Yes and no.

Multilayer... silky smooth graphics and 60 fps does go down ever so well. Decent maps, invariably there are a couple of stinkers, Siege in particular, but also a few beauties like Octane. I think the character customisation was over played here, somewhat disappointed by it with limited options especially in the early stages. No theatre mode is also a thumbs down. Ranking up also takes forever and a day and is a little frustrating too. The graphics are great, but by no means the best of the best. Best call of duty ever? No. But saying that, this game has been beaten up badly by reviewers and this is undeserved. Don't expect to stay alive very long until you have your wits about you, without question the quickest time to die from the last 4 COD's in Multilayer. Spawning is a bit all over the place at times too.

    One of the biggest and most noticable improvements is that I have expereinced almost no lag and I don't think I've ever had trouble getting into a lobby once, which cannot be said of my BF4 experience so far. The pick ten system is back and does seem to work really well. Nicely balance and nothing is extremely overpowered in my opinion but there certainly some guns that handle better than others. The field orders offer a nice little twist to game play however these devil-some blue briefcases are somewhat watched by the casual camper or sniper so are fraught with danger in collection them on occasion. The stand out diamond in the crown is the map Stonehaven, it looks amazing, however in terms of playing it is sometimes becomes a needle in the haystack looking for someone to kill or being frustratingly being sniped from the back of beyond. The game play itself is incredibly smooth and beautiful to play. It really is great.

    There is work to be done here though, this game has brought little to none innovation if you dismiss squads and extinction. But having said all of this, it's a must have purchase for the FPS genre.    … Expand

I like the new weapons and i love the new create a soldier. The fact that they allowed gender to be picked by the user is a thumb up to the often overlooked female gamer too.

    The game runs smooth as silk on the Xbox one with no noticeable lag or framerate issues. Just to note that i have played the 360 version which suffered both of those issues among others.

    But as we all know the CoD series is primarily focused on multiplayer, a mode which is usually done so well. I mean a few people grabbing guns, running around a map and knocking the snot out of each other, how bad could that be messed with? Apparently pretty bad; most maps are oversized for a 6-6 battle, making you lost and lonely for the entirety or simple sniper fodder. Some of the killstreaks are overpowered (dogs anyone?) but the single biggest error, the biggest gamebreaker is the spawning. To die in multiplayer and respawn on the opposite side of the map from your allies with enemy guns already tracking you is not fun nor is having an enemy you (or anyone else for that matter) just vanquished spawn behind you. Its made especially worse if both problems happen together and they will. Repeatedly.

    I want to love this game and with a little more polish and thought from IW, it could be salvaged. Its still addictive enough to play but frustrating enough to break controllers and make live party friends deaf. All in all underwhelming.    … Expand

Unfortunately, Ghosts does little, if anything, to come off as a fresh reboot for the CoD franchise. It is basically Modern Warfare 3 with a somewhat better graphics engine. Still, with every "been there, done that" moment you'll find, there's the unshakable notion that this is the Call of Duty that we've known for years reaching its absolute peak. The multiplayer is perhaps the most balanced and well thought out of the franchise. The levels are some of the best, and largest in number & variety, ever conceived. The customization is so much deeper than ever before. However, as a launch title for all next-generation platforms, Call of Duty doesn't really earn the moniker "next-gen". As Infinity Ward's Executive Producer Mark Rubin let on to in a recent interview, the true next-gen CoD experience is still to come. Lets hope that Ghosts is the pinnacle of what was and that what is to come is every bit as glorious as CoD4: Modern Warfare was when it hit our now previous-generation consoles.… Expand

    But if you're looking for something innovative, progressive, or creative I'd look elsewhere.

    Meh, nothing new from the xbox 360 version. Pretty pointless buy for your xbox one. Not a bad game, but you know what you're getting with COD. I doubt these reviews even matter for 90% of COD players. If it was a life or death decision between this and BF4 on the xbox one, I would take BF4 ten times out of ten.

It's clear that Infinity Ward is a bit lost on where to take this game. It offers no increase in scale, no new vehicular combat, an obviously-dated graphics engine that barely offers HD content (in 720p), inconsistent connectivity (at times anyways), and another campaign and story that try to be big and apocalyptic yet feel a bit ho-hum. Lets face it, Modern Warfare and MW2 were the pinnacle of Call of Duty. Since then, it's been the same game trading releases between two development studios. Perhaps it's time to get some fresh blood in the house. I heard that this game was a bit rushed and that IW didn't have time to properly drop a next-gen title for launch. If that's so, there may be hope for this franchise. Ghosts can be fun, but it only stands out at all amidst a group of new games on a new console because it feels familiar when other titles can be a bit foreign or jarring at times.

    I am a big fan of the Call of Duty Series and have owned every single Call of Duty game to date. I just wanted to make that clear before writing my thoughts on Call of Duty Ghosts. I do feel that the series is starting to feel a little stagnant, a few new weapons and some new maps do not warrant a new game, these could be added to one of the previous games as DLC.

I do feel that the series is starting to feel a little stagnant, a few new weapons and some new maps do not warrant a new game, these could be added to one of the previous games as DLC. Instead of just rehashing the same game every year please just expand the previous versions with new content. Alternatively bring us something new, how about a Call of Duty game based on the Vietnam War, or even the First World War? How about updating the game engine so that environments can be damaged after taking fire? Why not add some more interesting long term multiplayer game types instead of the novelty modes added in Ghosts.

    I understand the story element of the Call of Duty games is important to some people but the story line in Ghosts feels rushed and tacked on. It can easily be completed on the hardest difficulty setting in one day so doest really add much to the package. The story lines in the older Call of Duty games had some substance, it seems now the developers simply do not put in the time when it comes to the single player campaign.

    I do however like the new co-op mode which is similar to the Zombies mode in Black Ops. Extinction put you and your team in the middle of an Alien invasion where your goal is to survive as long as you can. This mode can be be great fun and offers a little variety in what is ultimately quite a dull package.

    If you are a fan of Call of Duty then you will enjoy Ghosts for a while but you will find yourself getting bored very quickly.There is simply not enough that is different from the previous games. It feels like the series has turned from one of the best series of games available in to a stagnant but guaranteed yearly income for the developers.

    If you own any other COD game then you simply will not get anything new out of Ghosts.    … Expand

This game is to console games what the Avengers or Iron Man are to movies: big budget, sequel driven entertainment but not a whole lot of originality or depth. Again, not a criticism but merely an observation. Nothing wrong with liking art house films AND big budget FX films. Same is true for gaming and while this game breaks nothing in the way of new ground it's still good fun. I haven't played through the entire single player campaign yet (I have a life) but so for it's typical over-the-top bordering on science fiction story telling that can't be taken too seriously. The graphics are amazing, the game play is typical "run down the hall and shoot everything in front of you" stuff. Haven't tried MP yet because obviously there are not a lot of people out there yet and I've only had my One for a few days now and have 5 other titles I wanted to try out. I know this all sounds very ho-hum but there you have it. If you like CoD this probably won't disappoint. If you're already tired of CoD this isn't going to change your mind. As for being on the One, the graphics are noticeably better than on the 360 though hardly a major upgrade. I wouldn't hinge my console purchasing decisions on this title.… Expand

While Ghosts will still have pretty massive sale numbers, Infinity Ward is going to have to make some real changes to freshen CoD's stale formula or else this series as a whole won't be around for much longer.    … Expand

    Call of Duty: Ghosts offers nothing new to the increasingly homogenized modern warfare shooter genre that is the standard for today. Played Modern Warfare 2? Good. You do not need to play Ghosts. I'm going to break it down into 3 subjects: Campaign, Multiplayer, and Extinction.

    Campaign: Absolutely pathetic. The setting jumps around the world every mission with no reason or cohesion.

I'm going to break it down into 3 subjects: Campaign, Multiplayer, and Extinction.

    Campaign: Absolutely pathetic. The setting jumps around the world every mission with no reason or cohesion. You start out in Outer Space. Bing! Now you're in San Diego. Bing! Now you're in South America. Bing! Now you're in the Antarctic Ocean. Bing! You're back in space. The story is about 2 brothers and their dad, belonging to an elite commando unit called the Ghosts. I don't remember any of their names because that's how poor the characters are. The campaign is shallow, and meaningless. Don't bother
    Multiplayer: They really tried with this one. Ghosts follows the same twitch shooter mechanics as its predecessors have. Unfortunately, many of the components such as Perks, Gun Attachments, and kill-streaks are unnecessarily complex and confusing. you unlock things through an equally confusing currency system, akin to Black Ops 1. This Xbone version suffers from framerate drops on some of the maps, and it just looks ugly. I can only recommend this if you REALLY love Call of Duty. If you don't, you'll be fine playing Modern Warfare or Black Ops.
    Extinction: It's a pretty cool idea, but like the multiplayer, it is overly complex when it doesn't need to be. People love Nazi Zombies because it is only as complex as it needs to be. You can delve into the more complex stuff if you want, but if you just want to blast some zombies, you can do that too. However, Extinction also has its own economy relying on points, and there are weird objectives and strange objects in the environment that don't need to exist. It's a shame, really. Extinction is fun for a bit, but lacks the lasting value of Nazi Zombies.

    In conclusion: This is NOT the next-gen call of duty experience. It is simply a mediocre game at best. I only recommend it if you find it at the bottom of the bargain bin at Best Buy.    … Expand

    Call of Duty: Ghosts is a fun, yet familiar game. The multiplayer feels the same as previous games, while the campaign and Extinction modes are quite excilerating. The gameplay just has not changed enough.

    The game plays a lot faster than other COD games of the past.

    Multiplayer small maps and redundant maps; seems I play on the same maps over and over again.

    Campaign I seemed to enjoy this mode more than in years past.

    If there was an exact definition of an OK to Good game this would be it. The multiplier is good, the campaign is OK-ish. Extinction is OK and squads is good.

    Brave in places, safe in others, Ghosts will delight fans but won't sway anyone with doubts. [Jan 2014, p.74]

    Infinity Ward has lost capacity, it's out of ideas. Call of Duty: Ghosts is the same blast of scripts in single-player and the conventional formula in multiplayer. That's all. Fun and addictive as always, this game is silent in your Call of Duty collection, it leaves no trace.

    Call of Duty: Ghosts is a mess of a game. That’s not to say that it’s nonfunctional or bad to play, rather, it loses sight of its core principles and eschews an amazing opportunity with the advent of our transition to next-gen, as well as being the first true IW CoD sans Zampella and West, through poorly constructed (and utilised) tech, half-assed delivery of modes and a single-player campaign that sets the series back more than a few years.
