COD: Ghosts

It's Infinity Ward in name only, nearly all the senior developers and management has left to work on Titanfall since the big IW firing fiasco after MW2 shipped.

Which of course explains the 6GB of null value RAM this game uses, and recycled scenes from MW2, and the quality of this game and MW3.
 
Game runs fine for me. Lags are brutal but get me more kills lol. I don't mind. I don't have any issues with the game thus far. Something that can't be said about BF4. MP is working as advertised.

Except its not working for the PC. Its full of problems , its full of hacks/exploits already (just like MW2 and MW3), you can't even see your latency and it has tons of visual bugs that haven't been dealt with and stuttering.

SO no its not working as advertised , its a fucking mess for anyone that bought the PC version. In fact its less functional than BF4 which works perfectly for me.
 
I've asked for a refund on steam, wish me luck lads!

Remember that you only get one "get out of jail free" card on steam for a refund. They will give you it but only ONCE. Otherwise it has to be offered by them.

So take that into consideration.

I usually research the games I buy and make sure I will enjoy it(I didn't pull the trigger on Rome Total War 2 even though I love the series). Call of Duty has gone down the shitter and in general I am starting to lose interest in new releases. I'm fine with this being my only refund.

Good, then I can get back to doing more useful things :D
 
If you play Killed Confirmed, you should pick up the tags.
I pick up more than my team combined on almost every game,

and I am guessing this Squads Blitz match was with all bots since it was quite easy,

Finished SP. Reminds me of an 80's B action film.

There's a lot of "wtf" plot holes in this. The engine is not up to standards as vehicles still lack any weight or inertia. It entertained me for a few hours, but it wasn't something that I was glued too like past titles, where I was really engaged. This seemed like it was just a glorified video whack-a-mole session. I did find it funny that both this title and BF4 had a carrier capsize dodge-the-jets sequence.

If this cost $100mil to make I'd say $30mil of that was earmarked for executive bonuses for the usual $bil in sales. $60mil was marketing (gotta pay for live-action commercials) and $10mil was used on the actual game. I seriously wonder if IW has any talent left to improve this engine. It's been stagnant for 6 years now.

That's just it, they don't need to invest any more money into development. Why be innovative or take risks when the same turd you shat out last year is still gonna net you $1 billion?

Sadly that's true. And I doubt this is going to change anytime soon.
 
At least Treyarch is more creative with their every other year version. I can't stand what this lame ass version of a FPS has become. See enemy, spray in general direction, get kill. Lame. Not sure if any of you played the first versions of R6 or Ghost Recon, but those to me were classic TEAM based FPS games.

This. Sadly, the TV commericals sold me on this game but after playing it, I was less than impressed. It looked good, especially the space missions, but other than that...meh.

funny how times change, i remember when Treyarch were the rookies of the two COD developers. they really are a talented bunch IMO, i've enjoyed all of their games (well the ones i've played) starting with WaW. they alwys strive to add some new elements to their games. like vehicles in WaW, the currency system in BO, and the pick-10 system in BO2.

R6 and Ghost Recon were some of the best FPS I have ever played and I am talking about the original R6 and GR. I can't remember if GR had MP but I know R6 did. Back in college (early 2000s) some of my dormmates and I spen countelss hours playing R6: Rouge Spear MP against each other.
 
yep the original Ghost Recon. i died...just so many times in that game :D
 
Ghost recon coop on the ps1 was hella fun. sad to see what they did to the series

On PC you could do self made coop missions or multiplayer stuff. Pretty awesome IMHO. TDM mode or escorting the pilot.

Very tactical and being dead always sucked, had to wait.....and wait.....go kill them already.... or die.....but quit camping with your claymore......please.....

I have this on the Ps4 and enjoyed the campaign, even though it was short.

I'm still very much enjoying it. I never expected game of the year, and with that in mind, it's been a mindless blast to play. The biggest issue I see are limiting maps to 8 players, because they seem kinda large in just about every case for the number.

I've never been a major winner in MP, so it's not surprising to see matches end up with 4 kills and 25 deaths (I'm serious). If you want a good laugh, watch me run around dying a lot.
 
After hating on this game big time I can say one positive thing about it , the MP actually functions unlike BF4's broken beyond reason MP mode on consoles and on PC still for a lot of people.
 
They just added domination to hardcore.
And I guess there is no prestige mode, you just grab another squad member and level them up to 61.
Menu is still laggy for me though.
 
Ghosts has it's problems, but I'm still having fun with it. It wasn't a worse purchase than Sim City, blargh.
 
I'm sucking at this game and killzone... it's like watching my aunts and uncles try to play nintendo (except for 1 of my uncles, he was pretty awesome at Nintendo) when I was young. I can't aim for shit and this motion blur crap is driving me nuts.

EDIT: I should specify, that I'm having a hard time adjusting to aiming with a controller in FPS. On PC mouse/keyboard though I'm pretty good.

I laughed. Wow ... talk about reusing assets. For as much as these titles make, they sure act like they're a shoestring studio.

That's classic! It also shows that a COD game without Captain Price is of no interest to me.

Add me to those encouraging you who haven't played or finished COD4's SP to do so. It's an excellent and all too rare example of a military shooter done the right way.
 
This was my first 'return to gaming' game after 9 years out of the loop. I can honestly say this was a huge disappointment. I was expecting something as great as the first CoD was. This title is only abusing the name. Storyline was 'meh' and visuals were OK except for when they weren't. I mean really your moving along everything is fine, then it isn't, things a re laggy for a second or two, then back to smoothness.
 
Hit Level 20 only and I am bored now. Game was good while it lasted. A few maps were also good for MP fun. However, lately, there has been a lot of lag so much so that I see a person and shoot and it never registers (in the replays). Dafuq!

Overall was a good romp. Will finish SP and shelve it unless the map packs/season pass are good. Also there are just too little players playing this game. Only about ~7000 or so normally and finding a match is a pain in the ass. Also no one works as a team lol.
 
Yes, I am back to playing BF4. However, I am extremely distracted by AC4. That is OCD nightmare and I can't help just going back and running around in that game. It is absolutely dope.
 
They really and truly need to stop claiming that each new CoD is a new engine and retire that old Quake engine. BF4 absolutely owns CoD in graphical beauty and detail.

Did they fix the SLI issues? I hate only using one video card.

What issues are you having? I'm not having anything I can't live with, which is mainly some flashing, using 2 cards. That's after all the lil tweaks like disabling overlays and making sure the game is running at Normal priority.
 
What SLi issues are you people referring to and what tweaks? Maybe the issues are happening without me knowing wtf is going on lol.

Ahah, something like that. I can somewhat aim, or move but trying to combine both at the same time and it probably looks like I'm having a seizure. I stopped COD for now and I'm forcing my way through Killzone. It ain't pretty but I'm making progress.
 
Even by IW standards the plot was retarded. It started off pretty bad and as it progressed the missions got to be a lot of fun. I finished the single player over the weekend and enjoyed it. As for the game, it still doesn't handle multi-monitor without the widescreen fixer which is retarded. Shadows are bugged to hell and back with this game. I got nothing but seizure inducing flickering. It was so bad I had to disable the feature entirely. The game didn't look so good without the shadows. The game also doesn't run as good as it probably should for the visuals it provides. This game really felt largely unpolished compared to the old IW titles. Also, while the basic vehicle stuff was fun the physics were pretty much non-existent.

I haven't gone into the multiplayer yet.
