Call of Duty: Ghosts

When it comes to the "Call of Duty" series, the first things that spring to mind are Russians with thick accents straight out of '80s action flicks, devious terrorists, and Germans who are always the bad guys. But the entry subtitled "Ghosts" took a different path. This time, the villains aren't Russians, Germans, or Middle Eastern fanatics - they're the "Federation", a coalition of South American nations that suddenly decides the U. S. is a great testing ground for military operations. The writers clearly tried to do something a bit different with this story, but as often happens with CoD, the result is grand, expensive-looking, but ultimately a bit predictable. Fans of clichés could even place bets on which character is doomed. That said, the story is easy to follow.

One thing that can't be denied - the game hits the ground running. Instead of the usual slow-burn intro missions, we're immediately dropped into high-stakes action. There are space sequences, exploding satellites, cities in ruins - all accompanied by punchy one-liners in the best action movie tradition. And that's just the prologue. Sure, the game leans hard on familiar tropes, but it hooks you fast.

At the center of the story are the Walker brothers and their father, a former member of the elite "Ghosts" unit. What follows is classic CoD storytelling: betrayals, supervillains, tough choices, and "unexpected" twists - though you'll likely see them coming if you've played any CoD before. The story revolves around the Ghosts, with the occasional attempt to confuse the player with intertwined fates. By the final missions, you may find yourself yelling sarcastically at the screen: "Oh come *on*, seriously?" - because the turns feel all too familiar.

Whatever issues the story may have, the visuals are undeniably impressive. Collapsing skyscrapers, burning cities, and space scenes - damn, it looks good. The space mission in particular stands out with its vivid presentation. Overall, the shooting effects, animations, and explosions are well done, helping you fully sink into the game's post-apocalyptic atmosphere.

One particularly interesting part is the mission involving a dog. Who would've thought a canine companion in a shooter could actually be useful? It was a bit strange at first, but okay - it's something new. And let's be honest, you end up caring way more about the dog than most of the humans.

"Call of Duty: Ghosts" is a solid game. Yes, it has its flaws: the story is predictable, the epic moments feel like they're being shoved in your face, and logic occasionally takes a backseat. But the game looks great, plays with energy, and delivers a ton of stylish action scenes - which is pretty much what CoD is all about. It's no masterpiece, but if you're in the mood to shoot some bad guys and experience a few badass moments, this one will do just fine.

7 out of 10.

Here we go again with our Call of Duty makers revamping the single player, multiplayer, and our brand new mode Extinction! First all COD:Ghost should be priced as a $40 and not a full on $60 game. Ghosts isn't a game you should be getting now, wait until its price is lower.

The Multiplayer- Maps are huge barely finding anyone on the map, spawn- camping is way horrible in this COD, confusing customization, less weapons, useless character customization, new modes, and this happens to be the worst COD:MP I've ever played. Trust me you wanna blow your brains out.

The Singleplayer- A decent story that has some cool scenes but the ending left me with a bad taste.

Extinction- Now this mode is completely fun with challenges within a onslaught of aliens slashing out. What ruins it is that you only get one big map out of the whole game. Makes it a waste since you have you purchase another $50 on the season pass to get more maps.

They sure did screw up a lot things in COD:Ghost.

I've been a big call of duty fan especially call of duty modern warfare 1. before bad mouthing ghost look at the past games mw2 and mw3 were really bad i hated them the big thing people seem to forget is the players brought down the game saying guns were over powered not enough life, etc call of duty was never real nothing about it ever was gameplay never was real ghost was a pretty good game online though it sucked really bad spawns are bad people always raging and you can't tell if the connection is good or not campaign i give it 7/10 multiplayer 3/10 the multiplayer is complicated like perks and all other soldiers you can buy quick scoping is really bad still and needs to be fixed recommend to buy when it comes down in price to at least $40 any more than that you are wasting money campaign is really the only thing that is going for it

People hated this game because youtubers hated it so they jumped on the bandwagon

(Talking about base game, no DLC's)

I see that this game is hated. But to me it is a pretty good game. I always found it fun. People complain about lag when to me I never experienced lag and I played on Xbox 360. The online was fun, obviously you will have the campers and what not but that's just the equation to make a COD game. The maps I see are complained about a lot and I get that. They are pretty big and you will go life after life without getting kills. But of course after a while of playing you can get used to the maps. Adding onto the multiplayer the lean feature. You haven't seen that in a COD game before. Or if it was in it, it was removed or just forgotten about in later games. Now onto the campaign. Honestly, it's just boring. It's your go to be patriotic campaign. Nothing special. The story was interesting but could've been handled better. Extinction... well it's is interesting. But like the campaign could've been handled better. It's cool you can have upgrades on your pistol and have different perks and all. But besides that it's your run of the mill "zombie" game. But everyone bought it for the multiplayer and that's mostly what the
