you think the spawns were bad on the other games, you ain't seen nothing yet.

ghosts spawns are silly, they have went past the part of stupid, to flat out silly.

I never complain about spawns, but with this game, it's hard not to notice.

I can get out of a spawn traps, by using the right gun, equipment,etc. On this, you just spawn right in front or to right of them, you Deaded.

I call bullshite. Me and a friend were raping Wednesday evening and after about 4 hours I had 21 or 22 points. He and I were top on every game so it's not like I was sucking all night. During that time I unlocked a few badges and stuff by completing challenges or something (killing so many people with this or that attachment etc.) as well.

Now I wasn't aware that you could try out any weapon against the bots so maybe I need to do that to try and see which guns I like best so at least that will cut down on buying guns I don't like but that's till doesn't fix the fact that when you start out, you should automatically have 1 gun in each gun class unlocked just like every single call of duty game that's ever been made. That is a no printer. You should be able to use 1 AR, 1 SMG, 1 LMG, and 1 shotgun.

Maybe only allow 1 between the sniper and marksman class guns even though really, the marksman guns are nothing more than the semiautomatic guns that were previously under the assault rifle class and I think there is one in there that was a sniper before but it was only a sniper because of the scope. It shot like a Semiautomatic AR.

Yeah, I've gotten killed within seconds of spawning MANY times. There was twice Wednesday night that I spawned in and already saw bullets being shot at me. Needless to say I died before even moving. That is frustrating.

Maps suck,no demolition game mode, no tac inserts, so game is garbage and I'm a die hard COD player. Infinity Ward fricked themselves on this one. They had a prime opportunity to out do treyarch and the failed miserably.

people have been crying for bigger maps, so what does IW do?

they build bigger maps and take away 9v9 and ground war. lol

Still cannot believe i bough it, i created a new character on skyrim and new it would wipe the days out till new consoles come out, and boom, i digitally buy COD like a tool.

I'm positive that I'm one of the few that felt that BO2 was the best CoD since 4. It made all the right choices when it comes to competitive. eSports for BO2 were great. There is going to be a dip (again) because of this game. Once again Infinity Ward has proved to give zero fricks about what anyone actually wants.

No CoDcaster.. Why? Can anyone think of a good reason?

The maps are awful. A lot of people think they're too big; I agree, although now the action is starting to settle into hotspots so its not as bad in that regard.. HOWEVER, they still fricked up BAD with these maps. Again, the "traditional" cod map has 3 lanes, usually with some extra branches but its the general formula at the conception of a map.

There are no lanes on these maps. Not a single one. They are all just a big clusterfrick. I'm not sure why they decided to do this.. Maybe for the same reason they increased weapon damage and added game modes like cranked.. They actually thought camping was a problem? I have no idea. Either way, terrible. There is not a single map that is worthy of being a competitive map.

Game modes. No idea what they were thinking. Hard point was the best thing that ever happened to CoD.. from a competitive standpoint. I guess maybe IW didn't include all of this stuff because they didn't want to be accused of copying TA. Idk. They have announced SnD will be back on the 15th, but I want hard point. There are other modes that people want back too; I support them, although I don't play them.

Spawns. This is a recurring issue for CoD. You would think that with these massive maps, you might be able to spawn safely most of the time. Not really. There's been 4-5 times where I spawned, took ONE step and died instantly without any chance to see anyone or fight back. Pretty bad.

Weapon damage.. There's some sort of debate going on about this. It seems like when you get shot you die instantly, with no warning, most of the time. Then you watch the killcam and they actually put like 4-7 shots into you. I think they fricked with the indicators that you're being shot. They seem delayed.
Weapon damage is still too high, but this seems to be a factor in the perception that you die too fast. No idea if this is fixable with the game already live.

I'm not really impressed with this game. It just seems bland. For me, there was at least a little excitement when MW2, BO1 and BO2 came out. I have not felt that for MW3 and Ghosts. I hardly played MW3.. It was trash. Most other CoDs I at least played for 4-5 prestiges.

IW is just going down the wrong path. A lot of the issues that people don't like about CoD are their fault; people herald MW2 but it really was the turning point for some of the seriously shitty things in the series, namely increased weapon damage with no counter (stopping power with no jug? Seriously?)

Anyways, I digress. Game is a 3/10. Feels rushed. Activision needs to bring a 3rd studio into this equation and give each company 3 years to develop each game instead of 2. It will make the quality better.

There is nothing innovative about it. Nothing to set it apart.

The only reason to buy it is because it is just the next cod title to tide us over until the next one. I enjoy dominating people, but that does not change between CoDs. They get no points for that. Is there seriously anything noteworthy about this game that would cause you to give it a higher score?

The game is completely different than the rest. You can only get so "innovative" without changing the whole formula that has made CoD so popular over the years. This is an amazing game to me

The maps are awesome, hit detection has a new "feel", and the killstreaks are fresh and satisfying.

I know games are subjective, just like music, but I really like this CoD game a lot.

The more I play the less I'm enjoying it. The maps are fricking retarded. On most of them, no matter where you are at, there are at least 10 places someone can come out from behind and pop you in the arse a millisecond after you scan the area and move on. I can't count the number of times I've taken a good 2 -3 seconds to scan an open area of a map only to turn and move on and have some douche pop out from behind a rock 800 yards away and fill my a-hole with a full clip and never miss a shot....... And if that isn't happening then you are in a lobby with 90% campers. These big maps are campers paradise.

I'm also seeing a few folks that already have aimbots. That shite makes you want to set your console on fire. I'm hoping all this shite evens out soon. I was a huge proponent of ghosts on release day. I had a blast on it first night. But it's been downhill ever since.

Also, is anyone else having problems with lag? I find myself getting killed by a single bullet and then seeing myself eat 5-6 of the bastards in the kill cam. Textbook lag and it's happening more often than not. My connection has always been pretty good and I am hard wired instead of on wifi.


I agree with all of this. I wasn't a fan of BO2 either though. The maps are getting too complicated and it's only going to get worse on the new systems. I miss the days of simple maps, which pretty much died with BO1.

Been a long time COD supporter - but after playing this game for a few hours, I think I'm exchanging it for BF4.

I really pissed off at the lack of game modes, but I finally played Hunted and it is fricking awesome. I love it.

I just can't get past the spawns. Words cannot describe how awful they are.

Yeah no shite, especially with the maps being as big as they are. I spawned in the same exact spot 4 times in a row the other night and got killed by the same guy before I could move each time. I'm not talking about the same area but the SAME EXACT SPOT.

This game fricking sucks. You have 2 choices:

Camp to get a couple of kills before someone runs up behind you and kills you.

Run around and hope someone crosses your path so you can shoot them in the back before you cross someone's path and get shot in the back.

I played it for 3 days. Campaign was awesome, started playing multi with friends...two nights later, we all have traded for BF4. This COD sucks, seriously I couldn't stand how shitty and cheap multi is in that game.
