Hey,
Just curious if anyone here is getting Ghosts? I'm actually really, really excited about it. I've already preordered the game. Only a week away! Will anyone else be on? I'm on XBOX 360. If you would like to add me please feel free. My XBL Gamterag is: oOoNICKIoOo
I hadn't seen anyone post about this game, so I wasn't sure if anyone on here played as well

Haha, I'll probably end up getting the season pass, but I only pre-ordered the regular edition of the game.
I have GTA V too, but I actually haven't been online yet because I'm been playing Black Ops 2 so much haha. Gotta train up for Ghosts :P0 -
I'm passing on this series from now on, every Call Of Duty has gotten worse since COD 4. I bought the last 4 because my friends were talking so highly of it and I ended up returning them and trading them in within a week...0

I got a bit bored of Blops2 when GTA came out, the only thing I liked about it was keeping split screen online so when mates come round we can get a beer and be socialable as well as playing online
It was £39 for reg and £69 for hardened so thought it made sense0 -

Yeah, I know what you mean. I think I got into the series late, so that's why I'm still all about it. I hear a lot of people saying the same thing as you though. I just hope the new one is good 0 -

I still play COD 4 with friends, it sucks because of the cheating though.0 -
I actually went out and bought a turtle beach headset just for this game, may as well get the full experience but will no doubt end up being kids screaming down the mic at me0

I hear everyone talk about how great it is, but that's the one Call of Duty game I haven't played haha. I didn't really get to play World at War that much either. I have it, but it's really hacked from what I've heard, so I haven't been on much. Maybe I'll have to try out COD 4 0 -
COD 4 was fantastic, but the cheaters did ruin it sadly. WAW did nothing for me at all0
-
I remember when WAW came out, we all bought it and then 2 days later we were all back to COD4. It was hands down the best, I feel the killstreaks killed the ones after it. You can't play it online anymore though, people just float around and shoot through the map, it's sad
I want to get a Xbox One for BF40 -

That does suck lol. Online is just laggy in general sometimes too, which is why I hope the servers for Ghosts are better. Guess we'll see.
And, I thought about getting BF4, but I don't know. I have BF3, but I usually play solo, so Call of Duty seems to fit that more and it's more fast paced. BF seems like it's more objective and slower. Plus, I figured I'll get BF4, play it for a week, and then Ghosts will come out and I won't play it for a while lmao.0 -
I considered BF3 but the lack of split screen stopped me getting it, I might look at BF40

Battlefield is slower paced and is more rewarding when you do objectives, I think that's why I like it better. I love finishing in first place with a K/D of 5/22 and the guy with 30/2 is mid pack. muhaha0 -
I've played every CoD since 4, and tbh i still love the series. People are always guna complain when stuff changes no matter what, but the gameplay is still essentially the same and that's what i play it for. I've got my ghosts pre ordered for xbox one though. Will add you later on 360 anyway since i still play black opps 20

I took a long break from COD and console games for awhile. Tried to get some real PVP going on world of warcraft but that died out a few months back. I then jumped into diablo and was having fun. Once I watched the videos of Ghost and BF4 I was instantly hooked. I did not really get big into the multiplayer that much because there was never anyone to play with. I just beat the BF4 campaign and already paid for ghost. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to find a few friends on COD ghost to bum around with. I hate playing solo with morons. flyingpickle is my gamertag add me for sure0

Wish I was getting COD with the rest of you. I have to wait til 11/22 to play it on the Xbox One!!!! :happy:0

Meh. I belong to that whole "COD has sucked since COD4" camp. There aren't enough new, innovative features in each release to justify new games, and most everything that IS included just as easily could--and probably SHOULD--be included as a DLC for the last year's game. But because all the lemmings buy it you pretty much have to in order to maintain access to an active playerbase.
I think that Activision more or less just plays you all for fools. Each game is exactly the same. Compare to the Battlefield games. Each one uses an entirely new engine, has greatly improved graphics, and totally new features while still keeping to what makes the games true to the franchise. Activision just repackages a new graphics front end on the same engine and sells you all the same game you already own.0 -

Ill just take this one a step further. *bang bang .... pew pew pew*
People shooting at other people. Yayyyyy how innovative and immersive. Im sure the story lines are great too. Booooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrinnnnnnnnnnnnng0 -

It's not that COD4 was the "best" per se, more that it was the last one to give the game any significant new features/upgrades to gameplay. Every one since then, including Ghosts, is built on the same gaming engine and all they really did was make new maps and rebalance overpowered weapons. Nothing about the games have changed since then. They haven't improved in graphic quality, the gameplay is the EXACT same, the weapons list is mostly the same, pretty much everything is the same. It's like they're literally just re-releasing the same game with new added maps and some balance changes made to weapons. And the only reason to even buy the new one is because everybody else does, so you lose people to play with if you don't, too.
MW3 was the one people were most upset with because it made it the most obvious that all they did was literally take MW2 and reskin it. That's why they made BO2 set in the future, they wanted to try to avoid that. Originally there was talk that Ghosts was going to be built on an entirely new game engine, which people were excited about (wow, you mean a COD game that isn't just the same exact game reskinned?) But they ended up going against that.
Anyway, the COD fans who have been around a while grow more impatient with Activision with each release. They want something fresh, something that actually makes REAL updates to the game. And Activision more or less tells them to go **** themselves.0 -
I havne't decided if I'll be getting it or waiting to see if I get a PS4/XBox One and get it on there. I'm torn between sticking with PS or switching to XBox.
I mainly only play S&D though. For respawn gametypes the killstreaks and spawn camping ruin it for me. And I'm a sucker for single life round based objective gameplay.0 -
I'm just going to leave this here...

My response to this would be....Be careful what you for.
Anyone here ever play Socom? It was the game that got me into online gaming...Then Socom 2 came out and pretty much improved on everything from Socom 1 and I was in love.
Mid sized maps, Single Life Round Based Objective gameplay focusing on team strategies...It pretty much launched GameBattles.com.
But people wanted new. innovation, new features, etc.
Along comes Socom 3 aka the destruction of Socom. Huge Maps, Vehicles, new gameplay mechanics...The game was basically unrecognizable.
And every game since has been the same. Confrontation captured the essence but it was so terribly built it could not survive.
Socom 4 was even more unrecognizable and now Zipper (developer) is no longer in existence.
I wish Socom 7 was coming out and all they did was reintroduce new maps and features and streamlining of the game. I like that COD knows what they are. My one gripe is they don't carry over the maps to the new games. That would be awesome to have a pool of 50 or so maps to choose from.0 -

Look at Battlefield. Each one has kept to the spirit of the game, making gradual improvements every time despite never using the same game engine twice.0 -

IDK...Watched BF4 on Twitch and looked like the same game...Little more destructibility maybe? Nothing scream innovation or anything to me. And thats ok
That is basically what COD is an expansion pack...With a new 6-8 hour campaign and some coop stuff thrown in.
Then they fleece you a little more because they deliberately hold back content so you re up for the map packs through out the year.
Don't get me wrong its less than ideal. I just look at it as I paid 60 bucks and got access to multiplayer for 12 months as a result. MMO what am I paying for that timeframe for online access? And its better than a popular title feeling like they need to change and ruin what they have as a result. And until COD is dethroned as the king they have no incenitve to not collect their billions of dollars every year.
Personally, I am waiting for a popular shooter to take out a different model. FTP (possibly tiny monthly fee). In game interactive map advertising (think like those digital billboards but in game) consistent updates and new map content (so i don't lose access to other maps)...In game Team Clan wars and ranks, etc.
It will probably never happen though.0 -

Lately I've primarily been playing Mechwarrior Online. It's semi-P2W. The game is free to play, but their are units you can buy through RMT that give you a slight advantage in terms of gameplay. It is only a slight advantage, though, and in my experience, skill can more than overcome it. I have 4 of those RMT-obtained mechs, and I still perform best with a freely-accessible one.
My biggest (and probably only) gripe with the game is that, as with the Battlefield games, the whole game is based around a gameplay style that only works if you're on some form of VOIP with your teammates, coordinating your efforts. And they did not provide any form of VOIP. So pug games for HORRIBLY and you have to more or less join a clan if you want to enjoy the game.
Also, I have some issues with the community it attracts. The Mechwarrior franchise has a rich history of tabletop gaming, and a lot of people complain about the fact that they didn't keep many things as they were in the tabletop source material. They couldn't due to balance reasons. The tabletop game was turn based. This is not. Balance changes had to be made, and elitist fans of the old school tabletop games need to shut up.0 -
So... I finally played Ghosts last night. I think I might have over-hyped it a little bit. I'm happy that I have a new game, but I'm slightly let down. I guess I thought it was going to be better than it is. I'll have to wait and see how it is once they patch it (if they decide to -- which I'm sure they will).
Anyone else have any thoughts?0 -

I haven't played it and I have no intention of it, but can I ask what it was exactly that let you down? Was it the fact that it's more or less the exact same game? Or what?0 -
Sorry to hear that you were let down, I played multiplayer last night and jumped right back in. Was happy to see that my lack of playing and older age had not taken away from my twitch reaction skills. Only played a few maps got to lvl 4 on multiplayer and jumped into campaign. I was really enjoying the campaign even 4 hours into it.0
-
I am enjoying the game so far, been playing with friends online and having fun (still getting used to maps and haven't delved too much into guns and customizing my load outs)
Played just a very little bit of the single player so far so haven't experienced enough to make a opinion on that.
