    This is going to be a popular one where do we start
    Graphics poorer then COD 4 on the PS3 looks like they are pushing us into next generation.
    Maps take all the maps you normally skip in the other games and put them into this game no small maps.
    Setting up class is over complicated.

    I've not purchased the game myself but my neighbour has told me that none of the vanilla maps are exactly inspiring to say the least. Clutter everywhere etc.

    Can anyone confirm?

    I wanted this game to be good but there are a few things that threw me off....

    There are no fully-fledged dedicated servers....that was a marketing ploy. It's a "hybrid" system so everyone is in for another 12 months of BS. As far as I've heard, lag compensation is back with a serious vengeance! People are getting taken out from behind cover as bullets can turn corners now more than ever. The maps are very dark, there are no bright vibrant colour schemes (not like blops 2 cartoony stuff but some nice colours would go a long way in distinguishing each map from each other).

    Really ? I never had any lag when I used it in blops/MW3, was it a blops2 thing ? Still a strange one, since if it causes lag having the option to turn it off seems like a much better solution. I'd say they're just being cheap bastards.

    Go to agree with the game is a mess and will need some level of patching to fix it . I'd say it could be time to give David Vonderhaar ‏and the rest of Treyarch the whole Call of Duty name and let them make the games .

    I logged into steam and it has 11.000 or so playing ghosts and about 9000 playing black ops 2 . I think it says alot about the game . I Don't enjoy the game at all and if it is not fun to play I won't play it .

    Even without theatre mode, the lag in Ghosts is unbearable.

    People are being destroyed from behind walls....shocking stuff.

    I'd contract it out to a new team entirely. Treyarchs' Blops 2 wasn't exactly the second coming.

    Yeah wanted bullets are running rampant, getting shot when I'm about 10 feet around a corner, **** OFF!

    Other than the lag I'm enjoying it (I know that sounds kinda odd), some maps are a piss take though. Chasm, Overlord and Sovereign come to mind, jesus ****ing christ

    Where's these "dedicated servers" then? Or am I an idiot for being fooled into that one?

    Edit : Just got the most bull**** kill cam yet, slid at this lad, riddled him with bullets, he quickscopes me...fair enough, says me, watch the kill cam and he shoots the area wayyy above my head (during the slide animation where your body is low to ground) and kills me...bollocks!

    The way it should be, shooting someone in the head or chest with an assault rifle should drop them in 2-3 shots, not having to empty the clip into them. It was the same in COD4 and MW2.

    But that's the way it should be, right?

    Only on strike zone. Completing field orders on each map gives you the chance to get an interactive thingy on each map, so like on whiteout you can get the satellite crash, on sovereign you get the gas, on strike zone you get the kem strike.

    People are hardly waiting around looking at names and seeing if they are on a streak in fairness.

    Maps are way too big and too many hiding spots for campers, its seems to me like its geared towards players who sucked previously. Too many sides and angles to cover at any given time which actually encourages camping.

    Hitmarkers in hardcore, not one but 2 or 3 every time, which leads into the biggest problem I have; there is no acknowledgement of your kill in hc. Theres no xp pop up on screen so you can tell you killed the player, the amount of times ive riddled somebody in hardcore and thought "ok theres hitmarkers, he must be dead" only for them to pop back from cover and shoot me.

    Not gonna even bother with the lag as thats almost expected now. Oh and the pseudo-futuristic design, bo**ox!

    I've never (to my recollection) posted in a CoD megabitch thread, as I've enjoyed all of them. But this is by far the worst CoD MP they've created. And I'm trying to give it a chance, but it's making it harder and harder to like.

    - Can't mute individual players
    - Overpowered guns, except the ones I'm using
    - Terrible, terrible, terrible maps (with the exception of Stonesomething and some other more open map).
    - Horrible token and squad system
    - Retarded "operations" challenges
    - Terrible lag
    - Apparently massive hit boxes, can't recount the numver of times I've been killed by the air from a snipers bullet passing 2 feet over/beside me

    I mean seriously, who thought it would be a good idea to make dense maps with 3 or more exits in each room?! They seem to have forgotten that some people don't have clans to walk around in a circle of guns! They're too dense, I can't go for more than 20 seconds without getting killed in most of them.

    I sincerely regret buying the edition with the season pass, as I know full well that I wouldn't have bought them now after playing the game. I was a CoD fan all along, and this looks like it's going to be the nail in the coffin for me.
