As expected, Activision has officially announced Call of Duty: Ghosts. Set for release on November 5th, Ghosts comes from original Call of Duty studio Infinity Ward and will hit Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC in addition to being "available for next generation platforms."

According to Activision, Ghosts "delivers a riveting all-new gameplay experience built on an entirely new story, setting and cast of characters, all powered by a new, next generation Call of Duty engine that redefines the series for the next generation."

Call of Duty fans are gonna buy this shit anyway so we're going to continue to put out the same old shit. You're dumb and mindless so we're giving you more of the same "roller coaster" ride that makes anything else we do utterly pointless.

I got Black Ops 2 a couple weeks ago for $20. I personally couldn't care less about the douchetards on multiplayer, but I have been having a blast with Custom Games. Having every game mode, every weapon and attachment, etc, available to choose from, I can still have plenty of fun and get my FPS fix. Put the bots on Hardened or Veteran difficulty, get a couple friends split up on teams, and have a blast. Especially when it comes to restricting certain weapons and whatnot. It has made for some very interesting matches.

Ya I think I got so burnt out on it because of the online play, I still have friends that do nothing but play COD so it wouldn't be to hard to get back into playing. But after playing BattleField 3 I really had no desire to play another call of duty game.

Dat fish AI.

They've gotten away with it so far, but this game is going to look ugly as fuck come the end of the year compared to next gen.

Reminds me of Call of Duty 4. And that was 7 years ago. We've seen all of this before.

Ten seconds in, it needs an FOV slider. Fuck.

Waaaaaaaaaay too compressed.

Looks ok, nowhere near Killzone or Battlefield though.

and that was just a few samples from page one of what will become a 30+ page thread.

Call of Duty: Ghosts stats will transfer fluidly across Xbox One and Xbox 360, or PS4 and PS3, Infinity Ward announced during its livestream event today. Individual profiles will transfer from current-gen to next-gen consoles, and vice versa. Ghosts profiles will not be transferrable across console families.

Players will be able to upgrade content from the Ghosts season pass, which runs $50 and includes four DLC packs. Season pass owners will be able to transfer that content from Xbox 360 to Xbox One, or from PS3 to PS4.

PC gamers only crack me up. It's one thing to be a fan of XB1 or PS4. It's another to be a non-console gamer and then talk about how superior you are to XB1 PS4 gamers. My experience with PC gaming has been AWFUL (sim city etc...). The graphics are worse (prob b/c I'm not willing to fork over 2K for a PC); and the issues with these games have been worse for me than even an EA launch sports title.

You're experience with Sim City is, by far, the worst case scenario. You don't have to spend 2k on a PC to make it look better than a console. I have ~700 in mine and my games look better than console games. I'm not saying I'm better than anyone because I don't play console games anymore. I'm saying I don't play shitty games aka Call of Duty. I play PC games every day and almost never have any issues with them. PC games don't take 3 months to get patches. They take a week, at the most.

But, consoles being ginormous pieces of shit with constant hardware and software problems without me being able to do anything about them myself is the exact reason I went away from the PS3 and the 360. Nevermind that I got tired of forking over $40 for a subpar online experience in both consoles and I'm happier because of it, by far.

If that makes me a PC elitist, then by all means, call me that.

Well, technically, PC gaming is superior to console gaming. I have a mid range GPU and the graphics on most of my PC games are vastly superior to the console versions. You'll occasionally get a game that doesn't look a whole lot better, but that's generally due to lazy developers (Darksiders 2 is the perfect example). That's on a ~$700 computer that is far from high end. With high end, there's a pretty vast difference.

Plus, there's more customization. You get mod support and the ability to play around with things yourself. Custom content and other stuff like that keeps the game fresh.

Also, Steam sales.

My ONLY complaint about PC gaming is that there isn't a universal client. Steam is the closest thing to it, and by far the best, but I would everything had a standard like on consoles. All PC games available through a single storefront, every game has achievements, every game has controller support, etc...

Really, when compared to all the benefits you get, though, it's a very minor complaint.

Well I didn't spend that much less than you and my games Sim City - look like SHIT but its just a Dell from Costco for like $400. I'm sure its my graphics card but the nice thing about consoles is I don't have to worry about it b/c I'd have no clue what kind of graphics card I need or anything else for that matter.

I Like the concept of steam and wish PSN would go that route with cheaper downloads but its just not ready yet. I suspect by the end of PS4 we will be there though.

Sim City wouldn't be something that would look amazing, though, so that probably has something to do with it.

But, you have a point with not wanting to mess with stuff. That's the nice thing about consoles. Everything is set and the games are developed and optimized for that specific machine, so you don't have to worry about performance issues and upgrades every year or so. PC gaming is more for those that like to mess around and get high end graphics.

As for the Steam sales, I don't know if Sony or Microsoft will ever get to that point. If they're smart, they would. They've both been getting better at it, but even on their best sales, the prices usually pale in comparison to Steam. I do hope they both get to that point, though.

Call of Duty: Ghosts will have dedicated servers on Xbox One thanks to the cloud, Activision announced during Microsoft's Gamescom 2013 press briefing.

The game will also be available in a special console bundle with Xbox One, the publisher added.

A fresh trailer below details new game mode Crank, in which kills power you up. But you must maintain a chain of kills every 30 seconds or you blow up.

Search and Destroy, another new addition, sees you drop tags upon death which your team-mates can use to revive you. But if an enemy takes it, you're out.

Could be the beginning of a potentially huge trend where online games on the Xbox are on dedicated servers, while the same games on PS4 are not. While that has not been confirmed yet, since the servers are being provided by Microsoft, it's probably a good chance the One and PC will be the only versions with dedicated servers. I'm actually willing to give Call of Duty another chance now that I wont have to deal with lag, host advantage, and the plethora of connection issues the series is famous for.

Well, you can tell Infinity Ward is trying to drive up hype as much as they can for this game. Just had a 2 minute long commercial for it during the break between the first and second quarters of the Broncos-Giants game. In fact, it pretty much was the only commercial. That and a quick 30 second CBS promo for their show The Crazy Ones. I have never seen Treyarch or Infinity Ward put a two-minute long commercial on during a football game for their games.

That had to have cost a decent penny. In radio, just in our small four station cluster market, it costs hundreds of dollars for a simple 30 second radio commercial. A full two minute long commercial, broadcast nationally on CBS, during a prime spot in an NFL game? That definitely cost some big bucks.

There's really not. I guess if you're playing with a full team of people you know and actually communicating, then yeah(but you can achieve the same thing with a party of players in Call of Duty), but aside from that, there's no strategy in Battlefield, either. Having played BF3 so long and already a good many hours on BF4, random players are just as retarded across both games.

I enjoy them for what they are and I think they're both really fun. I'd personally rather play Battlefield at this point, but that's because I know the maps and the M416 is a beast.

I'll say this is likely by far the smoothest COD I've played. Even turning my "look" sensitivity down it's still seamless in how the game moves...and didn't encounter not a bit of lag in the 20+ matches I had.

Maps will take some getting use to as I don't care for them all but definitely like some in there.

Jesus. I know COD is a lot more about multiplayer than it is about it's campaign, but good god, it's like the campaign was an afterthought tacked on at the end of the production cycle. It always felt like the campaigns were usually a good length that would take more than one sitting to complete and had a good story with it. Ghosts, I just finished the campaign and it couldn't have been more than 6-7 hours tops from start to end.

That, and the story, whatever the hell all of that was about. At least with past COD, the story was rather clear, but with Ghosts, what idiot thought up that crap story? And based on the ending, it's obvious what direction Ghosts 2 will be going in in two years, I can't say I have much faith in any better of a campaign story. I never really expect a whole lot from COD campaigns, since campaigns aren't the main focus in COD, but the campaign in Ghosts was just disappointing entirely. I'm almost sorry I started the campaign in the first place.

The main enemy should have died about 12 different times. I thought it was good up until the end, which was just nonsensical.

The Federation part was fairly good. I would have liked a little bit more backstory on the Federation and why they were such douches to cause what global changing events started the game and carried through to the end. And I would have been perfectly happy with more missions regarding the Federation, especially mid-campaign meat. It just seemed like the Federation story arc was a bit rushed. It seemed like you do one thing here, one thing there, one or two more things and bam, all of sudden you have Loki and the Federation army is being blown to hell.

While the beginning and early Ghosts missions were great and I enjoyed them, by the end of the game, I think I cared more about what was happening with the Federation than I did the Ghosts story arc. Like you said, the main enemy should have died so many damn different times, and yet every time, he somehow escapes or survives. The ending especially pissed me off, at that point I felt like I had done absolutely nothing but waste the last 6 hours with the Ghost story arc and all the bullshit that happened.

Now after playing all three Modern Warfare games, I understand Infinity Ward. There has to be betrayal somewhere in their overall story. I get it. But they screwed the pooch this time. Get rid of the main enemy (or at least make him actually damn vulnerable), and make up their minds. War with Federation, or Ghosts/main enemy. Instead of what would have been a great damn story arc with the Federation, they started juggling in some missions with the Ghosts/main enemy (with some ridiculous outcomes) and it just dragged down the entire campaign for me.

At least in Modern Warfare 2 (and the others), there was a true main focus in the game when it came to the enemy you were fighting, even when there was the whole betrayal story arc and side missions. You still knew what you were fighting for and what the end goal was. In Ghosts, it was like IW couldn't quite make up their minds. That, and with as much focus as they put on the main enemy, looking back now, it almost feels like they simply threw the war with the Federation in lengthen the story and try and tie different bits and pieces together. You couldn't have a story solely regarding the Ghosts/main enemy, so throw in the war with the Federation and suddenly you have two "enthralling" story arcs.

There were definitely some good parts in the campaign (I'll admit, I had a goddamn blast during the space missions) and some fun and challenging missions throughout it, but there were also some missions that easily could have been cut out or left on paper. It just seemed, unpolished and sort of thrown together.

Didn't they also copy and paste a cutscene from MW2?

Yeah, the one CDJ posted. It came up right at the very beginning of the game in the opening sequence/"mission". Even though I had already looking at CDJ's spoiler and video, I still knew the moment the cutscene start that it was the same cutscene as that in MW2. It's very apparent the one or two seconds into the cutscene.

This is the first COD game where I can't get interested in the multiplayer even a little bit.

Bah, the last few CoD, I play the SP campaign and then am done with the game. Every now and then, I'll go back to the missions I thought were fun in SP, but MP.....no way.

Don't know why, it's the same as all the other ones. :D

I mess around with it a bit every now and then. I just can't deal with the lag. Now that I've played Titanfall, I REALLY notice it.

Still love me some Extinction, though.

It's slower and less action.

Sometimes I'd like to hop on MW3 or Black Ops II for some mindless shooter and leveling up fun.

One of the insiders over on GAF said that the Call of Duty teams are already taking massive inspiration from Titanfall, so the series should speed up. I do agree, though, it's much slower than the other ones. Call of Duty 4 and Modern Warfare 2 were my favorites. Call of Duty 4 because it was the best shooter last gen, and Modern Warfare 2 because of game ending nuke. That thing was so much fun.

I really enjoyed Black Ops II. That was the most I played since MW2.

Yeah, that's sort of the route I've gone. I'll play the SP campaigns, and tend to stay away from multiplayer. I've dealt with enough COD douchebags in the past to pretty much ruin COD multiplayer for me.

Now, I do love that Treyarch originally, and now Infinity Ward getting on board, with private matches with bots. It's the best of both worlds for me. I can still play first person shooters and have a fun "multiplayer" experience. Set the bots to whatever difficulty level I want (which IW made a great addition by adding a 'mixed' bot difficult level, so it can truly be like a multiplayer match with differing skill levels), set of the conditions of the game as I want them to be (primarily unlimited time and high score required to win) and pick my preferred maps instead of being forced to play whatever maps the other idiots combine and vote for.

I think the private match with bots addition to both IW and Treyarch's editions of COD has actually been what has saved the series for me and keeps me willing to buy it. Otherwise, not sure I'd be willing to still put up with the normal COD multiplayer douchebags. And I really have found a lot of fun in private match with bots. Spent all late afternoon and evening Saturday, me and a friend, playing private matches with bots and alternating between Search and Rescue (a nice changeup from the usual Search and Destroy by essentially combining it with Kill Confirmed, it made for some exciting rounds and games Saturday) and Infected, which with 18 players on the map, even bots, is just pure insanity.

Yeah, I still fire up Black Ops 2 pretty often, gotta get in some gunfights on Nuketown. :D

COD 4, MW2 and Black Ops 2 are probably the top three for me for most time played. Black Ops I enjoyed with the initial introduction of private games with bots but I haven't touched it once from the time I bought Black Ops 2. And I have had an absolute blast in the short couple days that I've had Ghosts (downloaded it Thursday) and will definitely be firing it up on a regular basis for some private match with mixed difficulty bots Search and Rescue.

Agreed!
