[@universum9574]

I think that "Ghosts" was the last CoD where you actually got a lot a real full campaign experience. A lot of gameplay and not just cutscenes like these days. The story is a bit lame but the game is actually pretty good, and the graphics are not bad at all. MW3 was also somewhat mediocre but such a packed singleplayer-mode is awesome. Sadly these days the CoD games are MP and the campaign itself is the "movie" so that we get a backstory to why we're playing.

"camping": slang term created by idiots and sore losers who run full speed into ambushes (legitimate strategy literally everywhere else that isn't a 12 year old COD lobby)

[@rockbandandghmaster]

@@ethanwilliams4559 it depends. some people camp even when they should be defending or attacking an objective. Happens a lot in games, battlefield is far worse than CoD for camping for literally no reason. People on that game will just sit and wait until they get a vehicle unwilling to do anything else. In cod if you're camping near an objective that's fine, but if you're camping halfway across the map in a corner it's annoying, and they can't even argue it's a good strategy they're not even defending the objective.

[@ethanwilliams4559]

[@thatguy_5240]

You can always tell when a game is fucked over by corporate meddling. Because the music, the art, the landscapes, everything is beautiful, but the story is middling at best and appalling at worst. The artists who work on these games put their heart and passion into them, laboring for many hundreds or thousands of hours to make everything pristine and stunning, only for their corporate overlords to take their art and put over a rotting corpse of a story, which must feel like a sledgehammer to the chest.

[@UnchainedEruption]

Well a) it's not the businesspeople who write the story it's the writer and b) the artists probably don't play the game themselves, they just submit work and collect a fat paycheck. As long as they get paid, I doubt they're unsatisfied. Most are probably even unaware what the story is and don't care.

[@BeamMonsterZeus]

The game is fucked over by misreading the criticisms toward its predecessors and I can't blame the company due to the sheer volume of unintelligent hate directed towards them/the game. Of course they were going to change things up on reaction, and of course it wasn't going to be what everyone wants - nobody was very forthcoming about what they wanted, but were towards anything they could latch onto for meme-y rage content.

[@WolfGuardian495]

The only problem I had with the campaign was the ending of course, Riley getting knocked aside by that soldier that stabbed you, with no effort at all. And Rorke being invincible. But besides that I loved the campaign.

this game has a place deep in my soul. my dad introduced me to it when i was 7, taught me and my brother, and we played vs bots for 4 years. me and my bro got onto multiplayer and i quickly figured out my playstyle was camping (thank you father, for now i have no movement) and i LOVED sitting in some obscure part of prison break with the ghillie suit (thank you father, for grinding online for 4 years). me and my bro would split screen, where he would go run and i would watch out for him, kill some nerds, direct him where i couldnt shoot, and sometimes he would just stand near me and camp, so they would go for him and let me get kills more easily. he died, i avenged, i died, he avenged. easily had multiple spots to play in in case i died. never stopped being fun getting 25/0 just for sitting in a bush helping out my little brother. one time i got 42 and 3. still have the picture on my dad's phone. love ghosts to death.

MI just need to put this out there. A Call of Duty Ghosts Reboot. Imagine: - an actually good story - mechanics reminiscent of the Modern Warfare 2 remake stealth missions, with the prybars made out of fan blades etc - ACTIVISION TEAMS UP WITH THE GUYS THAT MADE GHOST RECON / SPLINTER CELL - so we actually get the stealthy geurilla warfare we all thought we were going to get. - As such, have tie ins with either Ghost Recon or Splinter Cell (even subtly, like Scott Mitchel/ Sam Fisher doing briefings etc) As a result, this would create a direct link with Call of Duty Ghosts, Ghost Recon, Splinter Cell, Rainbow 6 (as R6 ties in with Ghost Recon) and The Division (As it is confirmed R6 and T.D are set in the same universe) - ACTUALLY USE MW GHOST, TYING IN WITH MW. This would create a point of convergence, between Call of Duty and the Clancyverse, also meaning characters could be shared between games. Keegan could be an R6 operator. Nokk or Jaeger appearing in Modern Warfare. Kozak appearing in the next Division. Price being mentioned in a Splinter Cell (as if they're ever making one of those again) This is never gonna happen, but imagine if it did. A Ghost Recon Future Soldier style (in gameplay) COD Ghosts Reboot that ties in (if not in a "My aunt's married cousin's husband's son's daughter twice removed" kinda way) with the Clancyverse. Unique and compelling gameplay and story, with many chances for Activision to make a fuck tonne of money to our ENJOYMENT. That would be fucking crazy. Awesome, but crazy.

One of my favourite things to do was stand in front of the elevator and wait for a bot to go up. Upon the elevator door opening I would gun him dead. Change of topic The Act Man already talked about the interactivity with the maps but what he missed is the things you can destroy with equipped weapons like on the map with that dumbass area in which you could drown if you fell in there was a bus dangling off of a cliff and I think if you hit it with a rocket or a “trinity missile” it could fall of I could be wrong though.

For anyone who's wondering why Ghosts suddenly looks a lot more appealing nowadays, it's because at the time of Ghosts' release, this wasn't the stellar CoD that the first couple of Black Ops installments and Modern Warfare trilogy were. It failed to live up to those CoDs, which tend to commonly be seen as the golden years of Call of Duty. The reason Ghosts looks so appealing now, is because since 2013 came along, we've had nearly a decade's worth of worse Call of Duty games than Ghosts.

[@nadawolf7544]

I played the crap out of ghosts when it came out. The story was about a legendary group of soldiers with new blood coming in and one was "left behind" in the past causing him set out for revenge so the plot made sense enough. I think extinction was a net win, infinity ward kind of has a track record of a linear decline of "good" DLC's throughout a cod game (advanced and infinite warfare) but PoC, nightfall, and mayday were really fun maps imo. Adding the teeth system and seeing dual class and a panacea ammo type made me want to grind the mode. Multiplayer was for sure the weakest part for me. The guns felt good and I believe it started the trend of not having blacked out sniper scopes but it had some amazing killstreaks. The maniac juggernaut was always on my loadout and The reskin to Michael Myers on the cabin map made playing Mike Myers all the better. The LOKI satellite is also my favorite max killstreak in any cod it was unique and i never took it off. Ghosts multiplayer really failed in the map department however. There were some maps that I didn't mind like fog or prison break, but generally there were only maps that I either didn't mind or didn't like. Stonehaven is a different case. Stone haven is an affront to god and I blame most of the problems in the world on the creation of that map.

cod ghost was super fun for the month i played the multiplayer on pc, i bought the game months after release and had to upgrade my pc from 4gb to 8gb just to get it playable for multiplayer. since it was one of the first games to require more than 4gbs of ram with it being an odd 6gb. The last cod before i played ghost was mw3 so the leap in advancement in the create a class was amazing. I ran knife only super fast ninja builds with my favorite killstreak being the running maniac. The only change i didnt like was the melee animation was a real animation sometimes and not just a swipe to kill people so it was harder to chain knife kills but was still super fun with the perk that gives you a UAV blip every time you kill someone so you could always find another person after your first kill.

Vanguard is actually a good game. The MP is imo enjoyable to play because I can play whatever combat pacing I want. Slower paced or faster paced. The zombies pales in comparison to Cold War but still I think is a little over hated. If that was the first zombies mode and WaW Nacht and the maps that came after were now, people would love the old zombies and hate the new ones. It's mainly nostalgia driven and assuming everything is bad now compared to back then. I do believe Vanguard isn't good, borderline bad, but that's relative to what it should be. This game would've been good a decade or so ago, but when things should be more content filled now and obviously having round based maps, Vanguard zombies, relative to what it should be, is bad. Back then, would've been good, but right now, should've been better.
