Call of Duty: Ghosts

Hey,
Activision announced their next Call of Duty game last week. "Call of Duty: Ghosts". From what I can see, it has something to do with the "famous" character who nobody knows anything about, Ghost (From MW2). Personally, I don't plan on purchasing this game, which I will tell you about later.

To start this thread off, here's the official teaser trailer:

Now, I don't plan on purchasing this game for a number of reasons, I will list them here in order of importance. (1 Being Most Important, 5 being the least.)

1. Call of Duty has failed to impress me in the last 3 releases. Most of my friends and most of the people on my Xbox LIVE friends list who used to play Call of Duty Daily agree with me. I did enjoy playing CoD: Black Ops for a while, but that just got worse and worse with every DLC Pack released.
2. The story line always gets more stupid. Most people only play for the Online/Multiplayer now-a-days, but I typically try to play both. The whole futuristic parts in the past 2 games were just pointless and made the game more of a pain in the ass both online and offline. The story is never about fighting wars anymore. Now it has to be secret missions, black operations, and special forces. Why can't I just be a normal guy fighting a fucking war like the old CoD games?
3. They fucked up zombies in the last release of "Black Ops 2". How do you fuck up the only part of the game that half of the people who play the game actually play it for? Zombies was the last successful part of Treyarch's games, and they fucked it up with special multiplayer stats. I feel like they're trying too hard to make these games good and just end up adding too many features that make the game either boring or too difficult.
4. Multi-player has not changed in the past 3 games. Sure, there has been features added, features taken out, but if you asked me, Modern Warfare 2 had a perfect setup as far as how the games were set up, how you earned your rank, and how you got your guns. CoD Points are retarded. 2-3 different types of kill streaks are stupid. It's all just too confusing. I want to be able to set up my classes quick, so if I only have a few seconds before the next game, I can just pop in change what I need to change and be done. I should not have to look through 6 and a half billion different features in the classes to change my gun or a perk. I understand that they're trying to make it a customize-able as possible, but it's too much.
5. I suck at Call of Duty's Multiplayer. Some of you will probably say that this is the main and only reason I'm not buying anymore Call of Duty Games, but it's not. I've always sucked at the game, but at least I used to enjoy playing it. There's no point in the game anymore. It's just killing other kids and waiting to die just to respawn again, and repeat the process until you go back to a lobby where it will send you to a new game where you will just repeat the same fucking process. It's not even war, it's just aimless killing.

Activision is just trying WAY too hard on a failing series. Sure they have their loyal little 8-13 year old kids who's eyes are glued to the fucking screen, but how long until they grow up and the game just starts getting old along with us all. They should end the series and start something new before they make a terrible name for themselves and a once great series of games.

You've come a long way reading this thread. Nice Job.
Take care now, bye bye then.

Seems like I will be buying it, I won't stop supporting their games, Been playing CoD since CoD:3 and I still have the game.

Though My thread was minimal, I did post it first.. http://forum.ragezone.com/f81/video-...teaser-928711/

I'd have to disagree with a few points. The DLC's released for BOPS2 are by far better than any the community has seen for the past 4 years. It not only had a first time weapon release, but the map themselves are very enjoyable. You could see the effort put into them, especially with Mob of The Dead.

The multiplayer has been improved a lot since MW2, which anyone who knows the series can say it is the best since that game, hell even MW due to its balancing of weapons and things that should of long been added to it. But better late than never. The pick 10 system was perfect, it allows for you to be different. I could honestly say I've been waiting for something like it to happen a long time. Being able to just run around with a knife or pistol only. It allows for a mass variety to fit your play style.

As for Ghost, I'm not to sure about it. Though I think I read somewhere that it is using an entirely new engine, which will allow for even more customization and a overall better gameplay experience. We can just hope that they do it effectively and just no re-hash old things.

BOPS2 set the new standards for COD games and that is my personal opinion.

Activision shitting out another generic CoD as usual.

I disagree on a lot of that. While they, in fact, put a shit load of effort into their games, I think that is the problem. They're trying too hard to make it fully customized. I find games better when they're simple to play and setup. If you think otherwise, I respect that, but I just think that there is too much going on at one time. Normally, I'd try different guns and see which ones I do the best with, but now I don't even know what's what, it would take me a year to find a gun that best suits me with the right attachments, perks, secondary weapons, etc. By then, the next Call of Duty will be out and it will be useless to me. I just feel they're trying too hard. I may have went a bit overboard on the whole zombies thing, but I truly enjoyed the older style of zombies better. The new style is interesting and somewhat fun, but I still believe there's too much going on with that as well.

Sorry about that, must have missed it. I did look before I posted though, it must have been bumped to the second page. I figured that nobody posted it because it only came out a week before and nobody was really "raving" about it yet.

Well you can't expect them to push the same thing continually for over a decade. Then you would have people going even more ape shit about how they throw out the same thing every year.
If you cannot decide which gun best suits you, it seems you don't quite know your play style?

How can you say it's going to be shit when you have seen no gameplay of it what so ever?

I expect them to change things, but I just think they make it too complicated. I don't know, maybe I'm just not skilled enough for it. I have no problems with any other FPS games or any games at all. The only game I find difficulty with is Call of Duty. I just dislike the games now. I used to enjoy playing them. I don't see the fun in it anymore. I know they're going to change things, but I feel they're changing the wrong things. The actual gameplay has been quite the same since Modern Warfare 1. The only things they've really changed were the classes and things outside of gameplay with an exception of different guns, equipment, maps, etc. The overall gameplay is the same.

1) Run
2) Shoot
3) Kill Until you Die; (which for me is 75% of the time, fairly quick unless I'm trying hard to be stealthy)

I just see no strategy in it anymore. The people who play are douche bags 95% of the time, and they only care if you're better then them. If you are better then them, they still act like they're better then you, but they just won't talk shit. They need some new game types that require strategy rather then kill/die. K/D, Kill/Die, Kill/Death ratio that's all people care about anymore. Who cares about Kill/Death, if they want to make it realistic, Kill/Death won't matter. In real life, it's either X/1 or X/0 (X being the amount of people you killed). I just think if they focused the game more so on winning the rounds/games rather then a Free-For-All in a Team-Based Game, the game would be MUCH more exciting.

Their track records of making good games has not been good so far. They've made 9 Call of Duty games (10 if you count the PSP one; "Call of Duty: Roads to Victory) so far. 6/9 have been good in most people's opinions 6/10 if you count the PSP one because based on what I've heard, it sucked.

1) Call of Duty: Finest Hour - Good
2) Call of Duty 2: Big Red One - Good
3) Call of Duty 3 - Good
4) Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare - Good
5) Call of Duty: World at War - Good
6) Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 - Good
7) Call of Duty: Black Ops - Ehh, Kinda Shit
8) Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 - Shit
9) Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 - Diarrhea

For the sake of argument, we'll say that 6/9 have been good. On top of that, the 6 that were good were the first 6 games. So, the last 3 games have not been good to MOST CoD Fans' opinions. Based on that, MOST CoD Fans are not expecting to see anything good out of the series again. Especially me.

I've had some fun times playing Call of Duty, but I think it's time for me to move on to games worth playing, that I will enjoy, not stress me out even more, and I'm still a very big CoD Fan. To those of you who might say, "A TRUE CoD Fan would continue to play their games, and they would find a way to enjoy them." No. Not at all. If you like an artist does not mean you have to buy every album and enjoy it, does it? No. I may play CoD again, but I have to see some worth-while changes.

So you're already basing your opinion that the game will be shit, yes they have used the same engine for the past so many cods, but with this CoD they have bought in a new engine, new engine = better.

Just because it's a new engine does not mean it will be good. Since when does new engine = better? I'm just not expecting anything great out of it based on the fact that nothing good has come out of the past 3 CoD games.

New engine doesn't affect the gameplay or the story its just the physics and the graphics of the game.

Never been a fan of cod or will never will be because they see kids buying so they release shit.

I read through it all, personally I think you are just annoyed at the fact the games are advancing in a way certain groups of people do not like. I don't necessarily like bo2 but I think it is a mile ahead of MW3. Bo2 game engine is so much different to the others and what else I've realised is host migration is so much better. Usually you would be in a lobby with a bad host for the full game, whereas on this CoD it is more or less 5 seconds of lag and then a migration of the host. My final point is I hope you realise Activision are only the publishers, IW/3arc/Sledgehammer have been producing the games and continuing the franchise. (I've been playing since WaW (incidentally my favourite of the whole series) and I think I'll continue to play.)

Agree with you. I've played cod for so many years, and now its, just the same thing every year.

Alright, so, after watching what I've seen in the Xbox Reveal. Call of Duty does seem better, so I'm not sure if I'll get it now. Still not expecting anything too great out of it. The story seems pretty good, but I want to see if the multiplayer will have any remarkable changes other then weapons, accessories, and changes in classes.

Saw the new trailer and still not sure if I should cancel my preorder.

That trailer had a impact on me. Nice use of the music and detailed of what is to be expected.

I'm not a huge fan of Battlefield, but I do have to agree their game is better overall. Their just not enough individuality in Battlefield, but I do like that it is more of a Team-Based FPS not just "BOOM YOU DEAD, SCHKABOOM YOU DEAD, BITCH DIE, YOU DEAD, OH NO I DIE MY K/D GON' BE BAD NOW! OH NOOOOOOO! FUCK YOU BITCH PEOPLE -RAGE QUIT-." Better then Call of Duty in so many ways.
