It could've been split up into major sabotage missions followed by larger battles showing how it caused certain deadlocks or losing fights to turn around to the point of going on the offense, you wouldn't even need a 2nd protagonist for it if they only wanted one.

I had no idea what the story was and thet ending felt so out of place lol

[@dtxspeaks268]

I feel like 2013 and 2014 were just weird years in gaming where the games were weirdly nostalgic in some ways, whether they were good or not - COD Ghosts/Advanced Warfare, Titanfall, Arkham Origins, Disney Infinity, Battlefield 4, NFS Rivals, Payday 2, Sleeping Dogs, FNAF OG, Knack, Forza Horizon 2, GTA V and The Crew all come to mind. I think part of what made these games weirdly nostalgic that they came out during the transition between the 7th and 8th Generation consoles, this they had to be on both generations. As for FNAF OG, it came out during a time when retro-style indie games were popular, especially with 90s/early 2000s kids

[@Chrizz531]

I agree on ghosts being the most nostalgic thing, this was my first cod that I officially bought with my own money and despite all the hate it got, I found some fun in it with certain maps and gamemodes like infected with friends while also finding cool spots to camp. Man the fact that eminem even came onto the hype train made me buy it as a teen. Survival was always on my playlist while playing this. It’s a flawed game forsure but man was the hype for this game real. I remember people saying that this was going to be the biggest cod ever based on map size alone while being ported onto new gen. Such a missed opportunity but you can’t say activision didnt try.

I didn't take the campaign too seriously. That's why I didn't mind Rorke at all, he's so ridiculously overpowered that comes off as comical, he also seems to not take the story seriously at all; he's getting captured by the Ghosts and he doesn't give a damn, he's about to get thrown off a plane a he doesn't give a damn, he's killing his former friend in front of his sons and he doesn't give a damn, he got shot through the chest and he doesn't give a damn. It's almost as if Rorke unconcioussly knew the story was a mess since the beginning and said "Fuck it, why should I take this seriously?"

[@bitcoinzoomer9994]

Even then, if they just did two simple things, his character would actually work: - Make him an actual good guy for Ghosts - Make him some kind of elite super soldier All you'd have to do to make him a good guy is to actually have some nice dialogue during slower scenes. To make him canonically extremely powerful, have him THE best Ghost by showing him in action and by mentioning it in dialogue. Eventually, he'd sacrifice himself, showing that he really was a good guy, and him dying (actually captured) would better show how desperate the situation was against the Federation. Him being turned into a villain would then make him much more threatening and interesting as a villain.

28:50. This. So much this. In fact, in my mind, what would drive the point home even harder would be if, while in the Federation's custody, they tortured Rorke _so much_ that it left him horribly scarred and even mute, so that his reappearance as a villain would be even more shocking and heartbreaking. If handled correctly, it could also make him an incredibly intimidating villain, especially if he constantly manages to stay one or two steps ahead of Logan and co. throughout the remainder of the story.

[@idakev]

I completely agree with his criticism. Extinction being repetitive to replay isn't an issue in some similar games so "Stop comparing it to zombies" isn't really a fair response. Resistance 2 co-op had light procedural generation, and it was so good. The game gave you 6 maps (unlike Extinction's 1 base map) and while being distinct from each other anyway, the tile layout and objectives also varied a lot each time on top of that. It never played the same, and the class you picked each run was important too and could be grinded. I'm comparing it to an experience that it's similar to (not zombies) and it falls FAR short of it. It's nothing compared to that game. *Not being very dynamic in ways that other games had already addressed is a valid criticism.* Extinction is like a 6/10. There's fun to be had for some, but it's repetitive and it didn't catch on because most people genuinely didn't like it that much. Many have even forgotten it. Also, I don't think my first few runs on it were that enjoyable to begin with. The experience of shooting the basic enemies is kind of similar to a few of the new enemy types introduced in Halo 4 (ugh). Drilling the hives (defend/hold down the area) is the kind of objective that a lot of people complain about in FPS games too, let's be honest.

[@zzrev]

exactly, just because some side of the call of duty franchise revolves around zombies, doesnt mean you throw it in ghosts face every time you bring up extinction, it's something new and fun. comparing it to zombies to prove a point is not valid.

[@TheShapeshiftingReptilian]

Comparing it or not, the game is still $hit

[@LilWeggies]

My theory is that they purposefully wanted a silent protagonist in Logan so that players would relate and care more about Hesh because they intended in the sequel to have us play as Hesh and the main antagonists would be Logan and Roarke. It’s clear that from the get go they intended Ghosts to be the next cod sub-franchise like Modern Warfare and Black Ops. I think they were already planning a Ghosts 2 and 3 and the story of Ghosts suffers from this because they made it too much of a setup for the next game or next games rather than being it’s own story that can stand by itself. Cod 4’s story does lead nicely to MW2 and MW3 but it didn’t need those sequel stories to be good, it was good on its own. Even with MW2 ending on a cliffhanger, that story and MW3’s story can both stand on its own two legs and be a good story.

This is not meant in any negative way but just to give more information so more people can hopefully enjoy the game a little bit more. Campaign 13:50 The Federation’s true name is “The Federation of The Americas”. The Federation started after a war in the Middle East which caused a global energy crisis in which most South American countries created the federation to gain more power as they had large amounts of oil and gas productions and their main goal was to unit all of America (continents as in the name of the federation) because of the US’s past with oil and gas production. 17:50 the federation doesn’t just show up they were on the shuttle that Mosley says was their ride home either by highjacking it or someone apart of the ODIN crew knew of the plan and let it happen. 20:15 The ghosts are just a selective group like the Navy Seals and they knew that they already knew that the ghosts were real just not who they were or their purpose. 21:30 In the mission “The Hunted” after the plane goes down and you land in the jungle the other ghost asks each other if there ok and one asks if anyone saw Logan (player) and someone responds for him. They didn’t ask Logan himself and with another line you can assume Logan has never talked and is completely mute. 25:45 Going to their home and meeting up with the ghosts and trying to rescue Ajax was the test. 31:20 Rorke planned on getting captured by the Ghosts. As he says “You made my job a lot easier” as he had set up the location they were to capture him in order to try to kill them in the plane crash. With the multiplayer the only real thing you overlooked was the point streak system. The system was put into place to incentives playing the objective of the game mode rather than just getting kills. Like in BOI1/2 there is no incentive for playing the flags in domination other than the win as kills were what everyone looked at because kill streaks were so strong. 56:40 The cryptids are actually not aliens at all, in Nightfall it is told to use that the cryptids are a very old species that live on earth before the mass extinctions as they lived underground only coming up after the end of the campaign with the ODIN (Loki) strikes hitting Colorado. 1:02:00 The map is just very deep underground and not a different planet as they are not aliens.

BO2 created the Pointstreak system. Ghosts just continued it.

[@Scarson13345]

I will say I was mostly talking about BO1 as I played multiplayer on BO1 a lot more and I hadn’t played BO2 in a while. I will admit I forgot how the streaks worked in BO2 and always thought playing objectives in domination was less than getting a kill. But I will say Ghost’s point streak is still different and sets kills and objectives equally which was the point I was trying to bring up. Thanks for reminding me of this and maybe I’ll have to try to find a my working copy of BO2 to play again.

[@trenteaston3515]

Why would the Federation be dropping off scientists to an American military satellite if the United States and Federation are in the middle of a very active Cold War?

That's like if we let Russian government "scientists" tour American nuclear missile bases right now.

In my opinion it felt like the movement had weight behind it and you where actually moving with a decent amount of gear on and not able to run 40 mph and jump fucking 3 meters dodging bullets and as for the sliding well agian it felt like it had weight. The dusty visuals i always though was due to the game being post apocalyptic setting.

I think people ride this game way too hard for an underwhelming campaign which is only popular because of a cliffhanger, a multiplayer which had many problems such as extremely large maps and poor balancing and score streaks, and then extinction was a mode with potential but couldn’t ever be as grindable as zombies without buying DLC.

My worst gripe with the campaign is the fact that the US somehow just has this massive missile system capable of destroying entire countries, but it has zero security. The federation somehow managed to launch a spacecraft into space, travel hours to get to the area the ship is in, and get close enough to the ODIN ship to break in, all without the US or the ODIN crew knowing. They also had no weapons, the only guns the crew obtain after the attack are from Federation forces. Super dumb, especially since without ODIN, the story would never even happen.

Saying Ghosts was received with open arms or came out to a growing and happy CoD community is just not true. Sure, it didn't have a huge backlash before release like Infinite Warfare did, but I clearly remember people demanding CoD to switch to a new engine after MW3, which everyone at the time perceived as an underwhelming game (partially because of how technologically inferior BF3 made it look). I clearly remember the first reveal of Ghosts at the Xbox One presentation and everybody in the chat immediately mocking it and criticizing the lack of new engine (which Activision had led everyone to believe they would have). Despite the fact Black Ops 2 was one of the best entries in the franchise, the peak of the CoD popularity had been gone, and Ghosts specifically had to live up to some expectations that everybody knew long before release it wouldn't live up to.

I never recall anyone asking for that? Especially larger maps. The smaller maps on bo2 were most popular. Faster ttk I never recalled being asked for either, hell people were constantly complaining about guns killing too fast like the Remington or Lsat (pre-nerfed pdw might be the only exception). The most Ghost answered to was the E-sports community, and that’s not even saying much as that side of the community was relatively ignored as well. The snipers, knifers, trickshotters, pubstompers, and casual players were all ignored about their complaints. The bo2 complaints were not improved upon either, they were made worse damn near, just in the other direction.

Few dope things about the game imo.. In multiplayer, especially in ladder/money matches.. It helped a ton when your character would scream out where the enemy is.. For example, on derail, or w/e map it was.. I would know the enemy was in the Owens Building because i could hear a teammates character yell, "ownes building".. which also helped with understanding call outs

From World at war to mw3 i bought every single cod game. I remember living in college dorm and buying Ghost, but my room was in the exact spot of the dorm that the main wifi did not work, my ethernet port in the room was broken and had to use guest wifi. It had speed in KBs, so I never got to play much of Ghost. Just 10 feet from my room was the fast connection internet.

[@dracomalfoyvevo]

It had the best most balanced perk system of any COD even today

[@derschokokuchen9410]

I'm glad you mentioned infected. The way too big maps with all the hiding spots were perfect for this Mode. I honestöy played Till prestige 6 just the infected Mode. With win Rates over 100 (cause you couldn't Lose an infected round). And i totally get that you don't like extinction and yeah zombies is way better no question but i really enjoied extinction for what it is.

Literally just "yo were my dad at?" Then thier dad in ghost gear is like "fr fr im a ghost and you one too" then they are just like "bet" like what the shit is that?

Regardless of how the came turned out, Ghosts had some of the coolest and most interesting DLC content, I would argue in C.O.D history. The special character packs, the DLC camos, very interesting and innovative maps, the two (technically 3) really good and cool DLC weapons; they kinda knocked it out of the park with its DLC content

[@dubvuchyea502]

No

[@crackergaming3840]

They knocked the whole game out the park everyone was used to the zero tactics of bo2 and were pissed they couldn't jump into a game n get kills by sprinting arround the map oh and extinction they tried to make something nice for us n we ruined it one of the best game modes imo I loved it I could actually play a few missions without getting bored like after you pack a punch your weapons in black ops the game is kinda over unless you want to grind for an Easter egg

@@crackergaming3840 extinction is objectively dogshit. It’s the same thing every time and there’s only one free map, so you gotta pay practically the price of a whole new game to have more content

@@crackergaming3840 This is Call of Duty, not ARMA. This whole series is about sprinting around the map and chaining kills, and Ghosts definitely isn't any different. Does the Cranked gamemode not make this super obvious?

[@locantora]

Not sure if you ignored the info or just didn’t see it, but there was a lot of stuff that could’ve been explained in the story if you just payed attention. Especially at the start of the story in the space mission at the station that shoots rods, not missiles, you see the federation exiting a spacecraft and the lady says that it could be the maintenance crew arriving. And they also explain how they didn’t take the entire world over, it’s just a federation of South American countries, and global tensions are high

[@justpeachy1857]

my gripe is that not many people realized you are supposed to attempt at aplaying tactically in multiplayer but since no other call of duty has done this it devolved to camping etc etc

[@justpeachy1857]

the game is more fun when you play via crawling through the map, overall stealthy as its really fun that way shame the KILL CAM exists tho

[@thraxberserker9960]

Loaded with content, great guns, most game modes of any cod to date, unique side mode, character customization the list goes on
