(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); It's been awhile since I made a thread so I figured why not go over 3 hits, 3 misses and a few notes about COD Ghosts...

I have PS3 as well as PS4 edition and I will get to the differences to. I'm sure the 360 and Xbox One versions have similar issues so this isn't about consoles...Also yes I already know how great PC is and how I wasted money on tech that PCs had 8 years ok, blah blah blah. All hail PC gods :vince:

Hits...

1. I like create a soldier. Clearly they took a few notes from Black Ops 2. The classes you can make and customizations are amazing although having to earn different faces in each race is sort of annoying. Patches are kind of cool idea too.

2. I like the new game modes, and applaud how Support looks now. I have always been obvious with my position that Support killstreaks in MW3 were the 2nd worst thing put in any COD game and the noobiest thing ever and anyone who predominately used Support should be ashamed....Support in Ghosts is good and does what it is supposed to. Specialist is still awesome too.

3. Extinction is pretty fun and a okay 2nd fiddle to Zombies. Soundwhoring is back and powerful. I'm indifferent towards Domination being back to pre BO2 style. I didn't like the initial change last year but it did lead to epic comebacks and "saving VSATS, Lodestars and Dogs to start off next round." So I am indifferent towards no rounds now :(

Misses....


1. PS4/Xbox One versions are SLIGHT improvements. Don't get me wrong the next gen versions do look better however it almost seems as if Infinity Ward purposely made the lighting and color palettes in the PS3/Xbox 360 versions look worse in addition to making the next gen verisons SLIGHTLY better. Honestly next gen versions honestly don't look much better than COD Black Ops 2 did minus the character models looking improved. The actual maps don't look much better. Basically they seemed to have purposely "nerfed" look of current gen to make next gen look better. It's essentially a current gen game with slightly enhanced next gen graphics and no new engine whatsoever. I expect next COD to look better though... You also seem to need to add a perk or two just to make things you are used to as good as they were, ie. C4 being bad(obviously they were great in BO2 but even MW3 C4 was better)and how long it takes to do other functions like ADSing.

2. Removal of Ground War from current gen....Again they came up with all the bs reasoning of why Ground War was removed but I still say this was done as an incentive to get people to buy PS4 or Xbone versions. 6v6 in general has been always boring and the campiest of all as opposed to Ground War which is more hectic and overall faster paced. Ground War on PS4 is the same as any other year. Again it's like you're playing next gen just to get the experience you have been accustomed to on current gen. COD Ghosts is far from a console seller. Also the maps are horrendous except for like 3. I hope the DLC packs help this. Also why make maps bigger and spawns worse lol. P.S. Free Fall is one of the worst maps like ever...

3. WORST PLAYERS IN COD HISTORY(post W@W). I will eventually do a tips and obvious tricks thread. But for now I want to say I don't know if it's because of bullet damage being high or what but the players(randoms usually) in COD Ghosts are the worst players in history. If you can't maintain a minimum 1.7 kdr and 2.00 w/l then I don't know what you're doing or you may be one of the randoms I am referring too.

I am not saying I am so great but BO2 admittedly was a slightly harder game because of Ghost tweaks, SMG dominance, no Support, Scorestreaks as opposed to killstreaks, Orbital VSAT being a game changer, Snipers and Shotguns being deadly, multiple flanks on each map making it harder to camp for long if you're not apt to moving around, etc. So Ghosts is an easier game yet there are much worse players. I have seen players go 5-20, 3-29 as well as my favorite splitscreen noobs going combined like 7-56.

I mean every losing teams score is so lopsided compared to winning team. I dont' know if the players are really this bad or the fact that I play in parties of at least 3 and am forced to play 6v6 as opposed to Ground War(when i am not on PS4) but what the hell? Are 6 v 6 players just bad? You can make excuses about "campers" and lag and the usual stuff but most good players are dominating like never before, average players are beasting yet bad players are just terrible. I don't get it. Why are people sooo bad this year?

COD Ghosts is probably not as good as BO2 nor MW3 in my opinion even though statistically I am doing better than any previous COD game... It's worth playing especially since once I'm done with previous COD games I generally don't go back often. Ghosts isn't terrible and with new maps and as I play PS4 version more with Ground War I'm sure I'll rate it higher. But for the first few weeks it's just ok at best. Worth it for COD fans and most COD haters but if you don't normally play COD it won't sell you.

In Flames Much?
Player wise feels about the same for me, not sure why ground war was removed do not understand. Don't like the lack of ping bars.
Do not like the maps that much at all.
