Total Biscuit's Cod Ghosts MP Review.
- Thread starter tom_gr7
- Start date
My boss was playing this last night, at the moment there are still a lot of issues apparently, he was having a few issues with really low FPS, the sights on his guns flashing in an out of existence and a few other bits I can't remember.
Mind you, despite that I can see he's currently playing it anyways

Call of Duty: Ghosts. Tops $1bn in sales on day one; gets scores of 2 to 5 out of 10 from the majority...who are in that $1bn...console monkeys really don't help themselves sometimes
When I saw the system requirements for this game figured A. COD has finally reinvented itself and created a innovative masterpiece to rival Battlefield on PC...
Or B. COD is a badly ported, rushed mess created to make some more monies from gamers who still associate the COD franchise with the games that were actually good.
Looks like it's B. then. Though the campaign being rubbish is a new low, until now they've usually managed pretty great at best and not half bad at worst.
I really wish Ghosts could be to Call of Duty games what George Clooney was to the Batman movies (is that too harsh on Ghosts?) Because then we might actually get a much needed hiatus and eventually another good Call of Duty game one of these days. Won't happen though.

I had hoped in all sincerity that MOH came back and trounced it . But that failed too.

My mate works in Asda in the entertainment section and he said they sold hardly any Ghosts at all, like literally 2 or 3 but no more than that. None of the limited edition or hardened versions sold or any of the headsets, etc. I know asda isn't the 'coolest' place to get your games from but they do regular midnight launches and normally get a really decent turnout.
Mind you, I think he said battlefield didn't sell that many either..

This is what I said to my mate, I said who realistically is going to buy a ps3 game if they already have a ps4 on preorder. I know you can transfer the game over for a tenner or something but that's not the point, surely the game has been made for next-gen consoles and therefore the current-gen ones are going to be lacking..

Usually the cheapest though. I got my PS3 FIFA from Asda on release day and I know that they had sold out of Xbox copies.

Yeah my thoughts exactly.
Also whats interesting is that CoD has always been the flagship franchise for Xbox. Now with the xbone version being inferior to the ps4 (and now with reports of framerate issues), makes me wonder if the Microsoft x-bros will jump ship.
I also wonder if Activision will release actual 24hr sales figures. Theres no doubt about BF4 being superior to Ghosts in every way. I just wonder if the drone masses will realise it or just plump for CoD the way they always do.

I was shocked to read PC Gamer's review, I know CoD is aimed more at consoles whereas traditionally Battlefield has always thrived on PC's but I was surprised to see the slating they gave it: http://www.pcgamer.com/review/call-of-duty-ghosts-pc-review/
Sounds like a very honest opinion of what everybody has been thinking for years.

What can you kill other than players?
Ghosts: Dogs
BF4: Street lights, cover, houses, skyscrapers and if your evil mind demands it, whole forests of trees.
Completely off-topic I know, but it has always made me wonder why I can sit behind a tree in FPS games without taking damage. Pretty sure multiple bullets and/or an RPG would rather disagree with the trees lifelong ambition to survive

Ha! That reminds me of a BF3 moment. Was trapped in a building surrounded by enemies. No one would come in cos i had the door covered. Along came a tank and progressively started blowing away the whole building. Managed to avoid the shells, but now my cover was gone.
Needless to say i died. LOL
