Can anyone confirm if splitscreen online is in the game?

Yeah it is there.

Chasm is one of the worst maps in COD history. It's like they put all the bad maps of the past into one big horrid new map.

Once I get Off the Grid perk, will use it all the time. Won't be prestiging, either. No way am I going through it all again with those Sat coms on the go. Can't even find them to get rid of them.

So whats the story with sat com? is it a ground based uav or is it just for a specific area of a map?

2 or 3 shots to down an enemy is just perfect for me.

Yeah I prefer it. Hated it the first few games because I'm so used to blops where I could be fleeting shot and turn around and shotgun them.

Makes you more aware of what's around you to hid by

Second this what is it exactly?

Just played a few games at lunch there. I like it. Seems balanced enough at present. Nice colors on Xbox 360, maps I played were not too bad at all. A bit slower then MW3 or BLOPS which I also welcome. Its more real.

Also WTF does the guard dog do??

Slower sounds good to me, gahh the sensible part of me wants to say screw activision but I wouldn't mind giving it a go myself either and seeing if it's actually enjoyable.

It is a nice departure from the current madness... that being said I give it 2 weeks before people are quick scoping and have found way to wreck it for everyone else. Not once in the 6 or 7 games I played did I feel frustrated and want to throw my xbox off the balcony.

I find the way there is no names above players head and the way the buildings are so much bigger so the character seems smaller, it's very annoying when they run around a corner and you don't see them.

Will take a little while to get used to the change.
Change is good.

You are right actually the buildings did seem quite a lot bigger than the characters. A bit out of scale. I really enjoyed the movement of my player, oh you can hear people a mile away on my surround sound actually. Guns sound good, shell casing dropping to the floor etc all sounds great.

Hold off until Christmas at least...

I don't hate COD, I want it to be good which is why I'm doing my part and not buying into a re-coated dated Quake engine. As scrumball said, the novelty is new....give it 2/3 weeks before the novelty wears off. Then we'll see the real opinions without the blinkers....

As my neighbour told me, there is no Terminal, no Favela, no Strike, no Crossfire.....no vanilla map in Ghosts will be exactly "memorable".

Give it a while....those that hold off are the real COD fans. They're simply registering their dissent.

So you want to give people 2/3 weeks for the novelty to wear off yet you can determine within less than 24 hours of release of the game (without playing it I presume?) that none of the maps will be "memorable"?

I'm not saying what you're saying isn't true, it may well be the case but thats a pretty wild assumption given the initial stages of the game.

FWIW I'm enjoying it so far and I don't think the maps are all that bad. It's all about adjustment really.

In 2 minds about getting this myself.

Also, no javelin.

Have to say I'm glad the game is being treated like a 'normal' game. The likes of Fifa and CoD getting high 80s and 90s constantly whilst often being reskins imo (MW2/MW3 and BOII) always irked me. I'm glad it hasn't gotten the standard 100/100 from IGN or Machinma and I hope the more humble reception it has gotten is due to change. Can anyone who has finished the story comment on whether or not it was as good as the arc in MW1-3?

It is meant to have the worst storyline of all COD games

It's 2.2 on Metacritic atm.

I hope IW don't embarrass themselves again this year by pleading with people to go on and give it a high score....

TBF Metacritic userscores are a farce. Especially the first day out. I dislike IW and usually prefer Treyarch (And prefer Dice and BF to both of them) But like the amount of flamers who make multiple accounts to vote a game 0/10 is ridiculous. Shamelessly copying and pasting their own negative reviews. People are giving BF4 0/10 because theres been crashes on day 1. Fairly silly people who get overly mad. CoD gets alot of hate from people who have never played it too.

There's the panzerfaust, which is a free fire rocket launcher, so I suppose that'll have to do.

Is anyone having similar problems as me? My PS3 just instantly shuts down during a game and I have to start up the PS3 again.This happened to me when I was playing MW3 a few weeks ago as well. It doesn't happen to any other game. I have the old fat 80gig model, maybe that has to do with it? Anyone any ideas? Very disappointed here.

You can shoot down your own choppers in this game, wtf?

Maybe I only noticed this now? Or is this new in Ghosts?

Don't ask me why I was shooting my own chopper :pac::o

TmarTn is a well known Activision spokes-person.

If he said it was raining, I'd look outside myself. He's been called out on it before. If you want some unbiased opinion, there are other commentators on YT far more credible who tell it like it is.
