[CoD Ghosts] General News and Discussion

shawpower

I went back and cranked up MW3 last night in advance of Ghosts. Still was a hoot running around Parish with a shotty. There's BS like DeadMansHand, but overall it was a fun game imho.

I'm looking forward to Ghosts as tend to prefer IW games to 3arc ones. Both have BS, both are good, but tend to find the IW more exciting or fun for some reason.

I don't know anyone who's bothered about it this year tbh, any of the lads I know who played the other ones are either picking it up after BF4 comes out or not at all. It's out in what, 3 weeks? and there's barely any hype about it on here, this place was buzzing the last few years for it for ages before release. You can buy it anywhere on release day this year I'd say.

Yup, when I modded this forum it was extremely difficult to keep up with all of the threads and posts in the six months prior to a release. The place was manic. It's practically silent now compared to then!

It's the same every year with people saying "Ah, I'll wait a few months before getting. Let them fix all the bugs ya know". Launch day they're online.

I don't need to pre-order it cause this country is so messed up. If anyone remembers, I got Black Ops II about a week before launch

Not me I didn't buy BLOPSII, despite BLOPS being my favourite COD since COD4 and I won't be buying Ghosts either.

In the past few months I've booted up COD4 and BLOPS and really had some good fun. Loaded up MW2 and MW3 briefly and then remembered why I hated them so much. I'll wait and think long and hard about whether I'll even bother with Ghosts.

I think its going to be a let down, they are rushing into this to much. The way I see it MW2 was there best game. It wasn't rushed and is still popular today. MW3 was a letdown although BO1/2 were alright. I think they need to hit the nail on its head with this one. The cod to end all cods. Although I will say the graphics look very nice and tidy and the campaign looks decent enough. They need to work on the community the trolls,assholes and annoying little kids.

I wonder will there be any midnight launches for Ghosts around Dublin? This is not the only quite cod forum I'm on avforums and the cod one is dead there! For the last couple of weeks i have tried other games like gtaV Battlefield 3 and the beta for 4 tried far cry and diablo but I lost interest In them all so roll on next week so I can start my prestige climb on my favourite game series ever Call Of Duty :-)

Saw a sign in the window of Smyths on Jervis St to say they were opening at 00:01 on 5th November.

that aliens mode is called "extinction"





cool little teaser video also http://instagram.com/p/f-gSfFyp7c/

Anybody have any ideas as to what the competitive game modes will be for MLG events?

I'm assuming SnD, with perhaps Search and Rescue, Blitz maybe, and if CTF is included probably.

The game really needs a hardpoint though, or a better king of the hill type mode, it kicked ass this year for BO2

so there is a form of M.O.A.B in ghosts.

congradulations to infinity ward on yet again having a pointstreak that does nothing but encourage camping:rolleyes:

Neon_Lights

Its called the ODIN Strike, when you get it, it will change the map around or so ive heard.

yeah its called something like that. it kills the enemy team and gives the map a post nuclear strike look or something like that

I loved MW2 it was fun it was a shooter. Mw3 was dissapointing blops wel i played them and got board..

I'd like to get ghosts but honestly I dont see the point, I can still have tons of fun on mw2 in terms of graphics, it doesn't look that amazing, which is unfortunate. Granted the over all aesthetical appearances arnt all that during run and gun but still it doesnt overly overwhelm me with that much interest

I think with up coming rleases from dice, ubisoft and respawn. Are activision playing there best card? Are they working on something awesome, or has the series turned into a capitalistic venture?

They relesed all this new engine of what they could do but what there giving is hardly cutting edge given the fact that , ps4, xbone are coming realy soon it just seem like they dont really care. But the interesting things is, I've Seen battle feild post screen shots and get well over 1000 likes and I've seen cod get maybe 400.

They just dont seem to have a presence or really care about the gamers. as much as other gaming groups do.

I can't help but wonder is the cod franchise diminishing in numbers slowly?

KERSPLAT!

I'd love a 3/5/7 game again, not just a gamemode, the whole game. Dogs, Lodestar, etc all a load of ****ox

Would love if you got some points for helping with capping a flag. It's a pain when you take 95% of a flag and die just before its capped and get nothing.

Get rid of all ghost, dead silence, etc crap

Bring back specialist

Keep hardpoint

Make DOM the way it was before with no time limit

Really hoping this game is good. For years I just played COD but this year I picked up GTA and plan on getting Titanfall and BF4, so if this lets down it could be the last I buy.

As an aside, although there were/are obvious problems with MW3 and BLOPs2 I still really like them

I don't mind having a Nuke/MOAB/Nuclear Medal in the games. It gives a higher achievement to aim for - which, for me gives the game a bit more of a lifespan. When I've gotten all the camos or whatever I want to get I like to try and get a Nuclear Medal (or whatever the game may be).

I found I lost interest in BLOPS1 early and the lack of a high achievement like this was likely a factor

Neon_Lights

What about the SWARM!

theblaqueguy

I have played most of the cods since world at war I mostly enjoyed the zombies mode and search and destroy was the game mode I liked most in multiplayer but I don't think I'll.be getting ghosts it's seems like they just put out the same stuff every year the trailers dont make it stand out for me and I dont care about a new dog I like other posters think they should of put hardpoint in again as it was fairly good in blops 2 I have played the battlefield 4 beta a small bit and it's good so I might get that instead I've never owned a battlefield game before so I'm afraid I'll get powned because ill be a noooob at it

yeah it does keep it interesting but i just wasnt a fan of the M.O.A.B. i hope this different version of it will be less annoying. after a m.o.a.b in mw3 went off, half of the lobby left most games...thats probably what annoyed me so much

I reckon with the new consoles, they will make a good go at this. Will bring back a lot of fan favourites and put them into one game.

Next year will be a lot different for them so this is the year they need to be flawless and hold onto the people straying over to other games. Im looking more forward to this one than last years.

Max of 12 players on current gen consoles - http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-10-31-xbox-360-call-of-duty-ghosts-single-player-campaign-requires-3gb-install#comments

It's a massive step backwards.

AdamD

Cod's horrid with more than 8 anyway, wouldn't bother me.

super_furry

I disagree. The best fun I've had in the last few CoD games has been on the Ground War maps. Nothing better than the chaos of eight on eight matches.

Neon_Lights

Pubs pfft, although i did go 70 - 9 on ground war domination last night, with Soar Emzz (formerly Epsilon Emzz) playing on the other team. I agree with adam 4 v 4 on a smaller map and 6 v 6 on a bigger is plenty.

Ground war is just lag central and spawn flips. Frustrating

NoviGlitzko

Question: Does anyone know that if you don't get the PS3 version of Ghosts in Gamestop (for example HMV, GAME), can you still upgrade it in Gamestop for the 15e extra? Does anyone know if Xtra Vision are doing deals like this? Tesco? etc.

Thanks for any replies. It was asked in another thread but didn't see any replies.

Every game is lag central for you. You're like the Michael Jordan of lag

I doubt it. No business to made off it that way. Would make sense if you bought in GameStop and then upgraded. So they get your money for ps3 and then couple more euro for upgrading.

It's really only a deal to make you spend more money. They figured people would wait and buy the ps4 so this encourages you to buy the ps3.

Publics are full of spawn flips in general. Thats because the majority of people who play them dont know how to control spawns.

Yeah there is normally a full party with us so its fairly easy to control the map even if we don't do it very well most days. Running around their spawn hurts the team.

Makaveli

The only map we always seem to flip spawns on is Yemen, not counting when Kells flips them going for cap kills.

At least he has a vsat up for most of the game. randoms sitting in the spawn on nuketown are the worst.

Makaveli

That's why we should always play hardcore, you can shoot them.

KERSPLAT!

Hate hardcore

Neon_Lights

According to Ali A, there is a max of 18 on the Xbox One confirmed. Maybe there limiting it for current gen so as game content can be supported by current gen consoles.

Xbox one is in 720p and PS4 is in 1080p

It's not very fair when you're shooting at the enemy and a team mate wanders in front of you resulting in you team-killing him and losing your streak and possibly getting kicked or a team mate running in front of your sentry gun or a team mate knifing you

Absolute bullsh1t

Team killing doesn't break your streak, getting team killed does.

i remember reading that current gen is limited to 12 players per lobby so does that mean there is no ground war hmm?

Better than SnD.

Yeah I went there.

Neon_Lights

SnD is class competitively, pretty poor in pubs, 1:30 mins in BO2 was a bit short too.

As for current gen, we'l see next tuesday

Makaveli

GW is s**t, the only downside to not having it is if there's more than 6 on you have to split the party.

I'm sure the cloud will come into play in some way to save the day.
