    Absolute gloom, boring plot, disgusting graphics, terrible weapon physics. The whole repetitive, predictable plot is terrible. You pray to get through this faster.

    Ok what is the deal with all the hate here? This campaign was pretty good, especially the last couple of missions. Compare the story to the original mw1 and mw2 and it's on par with them. At least imo. Multiplayer is good too, only issue is IED spam, **** hate it. I bought this for like 2$ with all dlc, and thats a lot for literally no money. (I recommend argentinian VPN on eneba/kinguin.)

    Extremely underrated. And I like it that way. The best hit detection, DLC, Perk system and Zombies alternative in Call of Duty history. If BO2 didnt have connection issues it would be slightly better than Ghosts. I had a great experience with this game. Second favorite CoD of all time.

    Call of Duty Ghosts is a mixed bag for me. While the game may not be "broken" having not many bugs (at least that I've encountered or noticed.) There are issues with the gameplay and overall experience of the game. The story is interesting but its nothing special overall, there were some things I was confused and disappointed about, and the ending was pretty disappointing.

    The mutliplayer is alright, some of the maps are a bit too large and ends up becoming a walking/running simulator for most of the time. But overall there's nothing incredibly special compared to other multiplayer modes from the previous (and future) installments.

    And the new Extinction Mode (which replaced Zombies) just doesn't feel that good. Its a interesting idea to diverge from the zombies idea to something else (in this case Aliens.) But I feel like it just missed the mark overall.

    Finally, I feel like the game didn't fully take advantage of the new generation either. Just being used as an excuse as why the game under-performed players expectations if anything. Overall, the game is pretty disappointing and started the downfall of the franchise in my opinion.    … Expand

    There were some bits that were really challenging, and for that I dropped a point. Honestly, some parts could have used a few fewer enemy shooters.

    Call of Duty Ghosts has good parts and bad parts. The Campaign was really enjoyable (If i was scoring just the campaign i would give it a 8.5/10). The Multiplayer had some okay maps but was nothing exciting and the new mode extinction i hated, Zombies would have been much better.
    I give this game a 6/10.

    Call of Duty: Ghosts is actually a pretty decent game. I don't understand the hate. I'm one of those who actually HATES Advanced Warfare. Ghosts multiplayer is actually REALLY solid and the story is pretty good too. Not great, but good. I do not like the co-op mode.

    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.    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. 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

    In my opinion the worst COD ever, visually it is one the same level as the PS2 games, the campaign is a bit boring and of course repetitive and the multiplayer mode is a complete disaster. The maps are bigger the Battlefield's ones for a 6 vs 6 game, they're ugly and boring as hell.

The only thing about online that I don't like about online is that there are micro transactions. They're mostly cosmetic but you need to pay extra money to have ten custom class slots on your person. Yes, you're only given six, unlike past Call of Duties. The other mode, "Extinction," is basically Infinity Ward's version of Treyarch's zombies, except they use aliens. This mode is nothing special: just survive waves of aliens, it's meh. The things I really do enjoy about this game are the visuals and the environment. Each mission has a unique setting that is great to explore, same with the multiplayer maps. Some of the maps are simply amazing but there are a few that are dull and just plain bad. Ghosts is a good addition to the franchise and is better than the popular opinion of being awful.… Expand

    The story, for the first time, didn't get my attention. The main villains have no motivations to be evil. They hate the USA, wants to kill everyone and that's it. The evil country this time is Venezuela, most specifically, the whole South America turns against the "real" America. The enemies, just like the whole story, is badly introduced and developed. The message of the game is clear: "don't mess with the US. If you mess with us, we'll **** you up".
    They even tried to add a familiar lace to the plot, which doesn't work, since the main character is, once again, a mute character with no face or personality whatsoever. The ending gives away a possible sequel hint, which is very courageous of Ghosts, since the game didn't get a good reception.
    Plus, one of the only female characters in the whole franchise dies within 2 minutes of her appearance.

    The multiplayer also seems out of order. Sometimes, you die with 2, 5 or more shots. The guns and customization system doesn't work properly, and it bores you quickly.

    Lastly, Extinction mode is a Infinity Ward recreation of the popular Zombie Mode made by Treyarch. It is fun, but it doesn't reach the level of Treyarch.

    To sum it up, even in its 10th birthday, Call of Duty didn't seem to care about a decent game. The result is a mediocre game disguised as a blockbuster. If Advanced Warfare doesn't add anything new to the series, Activision shall bury Call of Duty, just like they did with Guitar Hero and Tony Hawk.    … Expand

This is a Multiplayer Review. Call of Duty: Ghosts is unique in its own way but very similar in terms of gameplay like its predecessors. I personally did not appreciate how this game has retained plenty of similarities that could possibly be changed to make this game stand out from the rest of the franchise. I'll start out with basic Multiplayer Gameplay.

    Just as expected, gameplay hasn't changed to much since the other Call of Duty games. New game modes add for a variety of different play styles. I personally love Search and Rescue but hate Search and Destroy. It is this kind of example that I am talking about that making a small change to a game can make it enjoyable for others. I will admit, the only reason I bought this game was to mess around with the new "Create a Soldier" customization. It is by far, the best customization gimmick I've seen in the Call of Duty franchise, adding a whole new way to play. Ranging from aggressive rushing, to camping and to capping objectives in Domination. Call of Duty isn't only about its gameplay but also about how you set up your loadouts to play with a tactical advantage. 90% of the guns are well balanced. I will let you know that those who use the Vector sub-machine gun may have a considerable advantage against you, as its killing range is lethal to a degree where it may as well be considered an Assault Rifle.

    We all know that Graphics can make for a more appealing game but they aren't completely necessary. Call of Duty: Ghosts plays at 720p on the Xbox One as opposed to 1080p on the Playstation 4, but don't let that stop you from purchasing this game for the Xbox One. You will not improve your playstyle at all by switching to a console that has better resolution. More importantly, enjoy the game for the content it contains rather than the graphics it came with. If you're a graphic junkie, please purchase a desktop (and not a laptop) to play this game on. Otherwise, read on.

    If you ever end up getting pissed off or annoyed with the game, do NOT blame the content or any problems you think the game might have. Remember, you are playing MULTIPLAYER and players can and will annoy you with their strategies. My suggestion: If you get killed in a very ridiculous way but don't know why, please take the time to watch the kill cam instead of feeling humiliated that you got killed by someone who is having a day. You may be surprised at how lucky they might be. I will admit, some people play to seriously but you pay to play and that's what you get. Better enjoy the best parts!

    Would I recommend you purchase this game? Yes, but I do suggest you buy a used copy to save a little money since it is Call of Duty after all. Not much has changed but it's significant enough to at least be worth 35$.    … Expand

    This game is far from the worst of CoD. Even though Infinity Ward didn't put much depth into the game, it still brings that addictive play style that everyone knows and loves.

I won't go into the story but if I was the writer, I wouldn't put it on my resume. It's decent but I expected more from a working "writer". I was also surprised by how narrow and linear the actual campaign was. Instead of taking a cue from Treyarch's Blops 2 and adding some choice and more "open" evironments, many of the levels literally feel like you're walking through a hallway, even when your outdoors. I know the series is known for scripted moments, but this one feels like the first scripted campaign, from start to finish. Its not a bad campaign, it's actually enjoyable has some cool set piece moments, it just feels too constrained and controlled. There's a lot of areas where I would think "Ooh, I'll hop over this log and... ah, invisible wall". It has a lot of rehashed moments and ideas from previous CoD games as well. It's not bad, but it doesn't take the series forward. At all.

    I haven't played CoD multiplayer since MW2 (a regular hack-fest) and from the few rounds I tried here, it didn't seem terribly different. I honestly don't know or care when it comes to this game mode, run and gun, grind for leaderboard positions that don't mean anything.

    Ghosts has several co-op options that are fun, my only complaint being that you always start with a pistol and have to grab better weapons. It's a variation on zombies (especially Extinction) and I'd prefer weapon unlocks, but that's just me. Its fun and fast and CoD-ish. You can also play offline and solo in any mode if you are so inclined.

    The graphics are actually really good considering the engine these games run on. Granted, CoD is playing catchup in the graphical department, but overall this game is a big step forward for the series visuals.

    As an Xbox One owner, my shooter choices right now are CoD Ghosts, BF4 and Titanfall (I'm not counting PvZ, sorry), and seeing as how this game offers more that one mode, online and off, it allows me to play what I want, how I want. It's not a next gen game, its a current gen game on a next gen console. Btw, I enjoyed the CoD dev talking excitedly about how CoD now has normal mapped bricks lol. That technology's only been around since Gears 1. Maybe earlier. Anyways, for a One owner, this is a better choice with more content for the money. In my opinion. Nothing exceptional, but at least it has some options    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One of the worst Call of Duty's ever made! Single player has the most stupid, generic, and predictable story line ever. For example, in the end you shoot Rorke with a 44 magnum in the chest and flood a train that fell in the water. You and your brother (whoever their names are, these characters are so unmemorable) swim to the shore and everything seems fine; then out of the blue Rorke comes out, breaks your arm, and locks you in a cage in the end cut scene (hinting at a sequel). A step backwards from the innovation of Black Ops 2. The multiplayer is not much better than the single player. **** maps that are larger than in any other Call of Duty. Super fast killing weapons that encourage camping along with the most **** annoying lethal called the IED. The action is extremely boring on most maps except Strike Zone and Free Fall. They completely ruined Scrapyard (called Ignition in this game) when they launched DLC, because of all the campers and other problems this game has compared with MW2. Extinction was a good idea, but fell short after DLC came out. Point of Contact was a bit fun, but could become repetitive. DLC was extremely disappointing. Nightfall was so damn difficult that it was unplayable. The only thing Infinity Ward did right was perk balance. That was it! Scorestreaks are so weak that it is ridiculous, except for the guard dog and the juggernaut maniac. I would have preferred survival from MW3 versus squads in this game. I barely play it. I got bored of this game in less than 2 months. This entire game is a complete pile of **** and can't believe I wasted $120 on this. If you have not bought this game already, do yourself a favor and get a better game like Titanfall instead. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!… Expand

So many people complain about call of duty's graphics compared to battlefield 4. well heres the thing i was delightfully surprised by COD's graphics and disappointed by battlefields. Not saying COD had better but i was expecting less from COD and the world from battlefield and when battlefield couldn't meet the task it was disappointing and when you are in space on call of duty its absolutely beautiful. Because call of duty is such a well rounded game this year I'm giving it a 9/10 no its not perfect but i enjoyed all parts of it where in battlefield the multiplayer wasn't perfect and the single player was far far from it.… Expand

The game chat is also buggy and is very frustrating, your friends can sound like they are far away and sometimes they cant even hear you. Im not sure if its a xbox one thing but when you unplug your mic, you get kicked out of the game because it thinks you are not in "game chat".

    The multiplayer is the controversial part, which makes or breaks this game. The gameplay is not particularly well balanced, and it is quick to annoy players as a result. The map design varies, but is mostly acceptable. There is a generous selection of weapons to choose from, as well as an advanced soldier customization system. There has been positive changes to the create-a-class and perk systems, and fun new unlocks and challenges to complete, which do add to the game.
    On Xbox One, the servers are absolutely great, and lag is nowhere to be found. If you want to play Call of Duty, this is the platform that you need. Xbox gets the DLC first without fail, and with dedicated servers, the online gameplay is seemless. 8 of out 10 for the new features and modes, and for the excellent online servers and connection.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The internet has a metaphorical stick up its butt when it comes to COD, but hating on this game, Ghosts, because it's part of a series (one of the most successful) is illogical. I don't understand how a gamer could rate this game below a 6 if they are honest and unbiased with themselves and the game itself.

    Campaign: The campaign, although relatively formulaic, linear, and standard for an FPS, was entertaining, thrilling, and at moments breath-taking. I know that sounds like hyperbole, but Infinity-Ward delivered in some key moments. *SPOILERS AHEAD* There were several memorable parts where I was legitimately surprised at what was happening on screen, most notably was the level where you're in a city in a valley and a dam is destroyed to flood you out. You can watch the missiles hit the dam, destroy it over a mile away and watch the water rush into the city towards you, if you don't move off the main street, you can literally watch the water approach until you get washed away. Later in the level you are crouching below the surface of a flooded city and stealth killing soldiers from underneath. The stealth mission inside the Federation capital is also awesome. And the KEM strikes which decimate LA in the first mission were also pretty jaw-dropping.

    Multi-player: If you don't enjoy twitch-reaction arcade shooters, then this game isn't for you. But as far as twitch-reaction shooters go, this is the best one out there. The game is fair and very well-balanced. There is a counter for every single set up. Is the other team running 4 snipers? There's a whole new class of semi-auto weapons "Marksman Rifles" that have quicker ADS (Aim Down Sight) times and higher rates of fire than snipers, which if used correctly, can flush snipers out of any area. The Support kill-streak reward system allows for beginners to play a more supportive/conservative role and yet still offer significant benefits to your team in any gametype because your streak persists after death.

    The maps are generally larger than COD maps have been in the past, especially Black Ops 2. This is opens up the field of loadouts that you see people running. AR's are the "go-to" guns, but they can be out-classed by SMG's, if the SMG's stick to corners and stay out of long sight lines, and snipers and marksman rifles, if you stay at range and hold down choke points and critical regions of the maps. Shotguns seem to be serve few functions except on the smaller maps, (which I personally have no problem with). The spawn logic also seems to have a few issues. You may notice getting killed and then spawning very near to the player who just killed you.

    Overall, the game is very fair and balanced, and rewards teamwork and communication very well, as it should. You might see a person "go-off" in a TDM game and think Ghosts and COD is all lone-wolf, but that is definitely not the case.

    Graphics: The graphics are excellent (I've played the 360 and Xbone versions). The detail and design in the levels is superb, and the lighting effects in the Xbone version are awesome. The surfaces and textures do not react to light as well as would be liked, but they are still visually appealing. It's not the best looking game, and I was never jaw-droppingly "wow-ed" at the graphics, but I still consider them excellent. The visuals are overall, very consistent, and therefore allow you to "get into" the game world and almost never lose immersion.    … Expand

    The multiplayer was beyond terrible - less appealing than ever before. I don't even have the urge to play enough to prestige, which has never happened to me before. This game makes Black Ops look like a masterpiece. The multiplayer is unoriginal, and if anything, actually dimmed down. It's completely unbalanced. Multiplayer: 3.

    Extinction - or, in other words, a ripoff version of Zombies. Less fun, less attractive, and more ridiculous, you're fighting aliens this time. Complete a few bland objectives, shoot a few guns, and run alot. It's Zombies without the fun of Zombies. There's barely any dynamic evemts, except for Hive placement. Extinction: 4.

    Other, miscellaneous stuff? The graphics look like they're from a game produced in 2008. Lag, hit detection, and other persisting problems that have been in CoD games forever and never fixed exist bere as well. There aren't dynamic events in multiplayer, despite what the developers said. So lies, too. Other: 2

    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.
