    Does anyone know if Flakjacket/blast shield actually works in this game, it was practically useless in MW3?

    Specialist is ****.

    Maps are huge which is crap because there is no GW.

    C4's are annoying.

    Not as big but bigger than normal COD games.
    Doesn't really suit 6v6 which is probably the main reason there's no ground war on it to give people more of a push to buy the xbox one version

    Hey Guys,

    Thunder just put up a vid on youtube regarding COD Ghosts. First vid I've seen with an unbiased first impressions of the game. He's been playing the past few days. Lots of info in there.

    ^ lol true. I haven't done the single player since World at War.

    only time I ever played any CoD single player was when the PS network got hacked and it was offline for a month.

    It's not as good as MW3,you don't get all perks when you get specialist bonus.

    It also changes how many kills it is for specialist bonus,could be 9 or 12.

    Activision really shoulda released it last week, the midterm would have bumped up sales since kids will get it anyway from their stupid parents. I can't realistically see this outselling Blops2, the hype just isn't there tbh. I had a watch of one of the streams last night and it's all the same old, I do like being able to slide into cover though that's pretty cool.

    I was going to hold off and get this on the xbox one but with gta online seriously failing to hold my interest much at the moment, I can see myself diving out at midnight tomorrow and picking this up.

    No I actually thinks its a good idea releasing on a Monday. They don't get a massive influx of people lagging everywhere and breaking the game like gta.it will seen to be launched smoothly

    Big maps and no ground war especially, playing on large-ish maps like Derail with 6v6 was painful on MW2. Is stopping power back in this?

    Don't think SP is back. I usually love the smaller maps like Summit, Firing Range, Dome (both), Hardhat, etc. but there doesn't seem to be any in Ghosts, which is strange because when the 3 most popular maps were voted for in MW3 (Hardhat, Dome, & Mission) they put up a playlist with those maps only, so its not as if they aren't aware of it.

    Small/mid size maps suit COD more anyway, it's so frantic most of the time having to trudge across bigger areas is annoying. That Cranked mode looks fun enough too.
