It's COD.. Did anyone really expect something innovative, or any change whatsoever?

[QUOTE="Michael0134567"][QUOTE="Trail_Mix"]

Why they even bother with single player I'll never know.

Maybe some people enjoy them, like me?

You seem a bit unsure of yourself.

Nah, I'm pretty sure.

To the people complaining about it being generic: What exactly can you add to a modern military shooter to make it "fresh"? You pretty much just point and shoot in most FPS anyway...Battlefield 4 will be pretty much the same, except for graphics and vehicles. lonewolf604
They could stop releasing call of duty for 1 or 2 years, obviously this would not make cod fresh but it would really be a great way of dealing with the frenchise fatigue. In the meanwhile they could try doing a new IP.

People seem to allow Battlefield a free pass because it looks nice. Gameplay wise it seems as boring as 3's singleplayer was.

I'm surprised so many people play BF3. Let me quote someone "when I get into a tank or airplane or chopper it just becomes a different ball game for me".....No chit, at that point its not even an fps game any more.

Not too shabby. This is the first CoD on my radar in a long time. They have to keep selling me on it or I'm starting a fantasy football league.

typical of a cod game really. Seems like you are forced into using the dog at set points. So when they come across the cars blocking the area, they need to use the dog who auto jumps over it and then instant kills enemies with throat rip out. Doesn't seem to be a limit on the dog aside from killing the baddies in the area. Then of course the humans are warped to a new location and ready for a reverse breach. The dog dragging 4 enemies out of the room is incredibly stupid.

The sonar, cover, sonar, cover followed by the hand held torpedo launcher was quite awful.

[QUOTE="Tessellation"][QUOTE="Shottayouth13-"]Doesn't look 'next-gen' at all, but the gameplay looks refreshing enough.Vatusus

not game so far shown looks *next gen* at all..only BF4 reveal offered that.

This was more impressive to me than Battlefield 4. But since you're a lem, of course you would never agree

Watch in 1080p for full glory and be jelly

 

Shit, at least that had more actually gameplay then both of those CoD Ghost Dog videos..

The "underwhelmingness" of the Ghosts gameplay is completely  expected.  It's a game designed for both current and next gen platforms...meaning it's basically designed for current gen systems and they'll throw a few special effects on the "next gen" versions.

 

We won't see any substantial improvements until we games designed ONLY for next next platforms that aren't limited by current gen (read: ancient) tech.  

 

It's also my fear about Destiny.  Bungie is without a doubt an amazing developer with 2 decades of amazing FPS games under their belt.  Even so, there is only so much you can do with the ancient PS3 and Xbox 360 hardware.  I really hope they didn't have to make too many design sacrifices in order for the game to work on the old systems.  

 

On the other hand, it's possible that they designed potentially 2 separate games entirely.  One for this gen, and another for next gen.  Bungie has so much money and I'm willing to bet Activision was willing to do just about anything to secure that partnership with Bungie.  Let's hope!!!

BF3 was not only boring, but also incredibly short with lackluster mp. Then BF3's engine got passed around to MOH Warfighter (only modified)...two sucktacular poor excuses of a FPS.

I don't get it? BF has vehicles, that is one thing that makes it awesome. A guy in a tank is not unstoppable. I've come across more terrible tank drivers then I have amazing killing machines. BF multiplayer is great.

You are still in first person perspective and are able to shoot while inside/driving a vehicle. What you said makes absolutely no sense.

It's Call of Duty, it doesn't need to be innovative, it doesn't need to be fresh, it doesn't even need to be interesting. Everyone already knows what to expect going in. Either you enjoy it or you don't. Fans of the games get exactly what they want out of it, and everyone else can ignore it.

You're going to buy it on two systems?

that poor dog is so dead.BrunoBRS

Dog lives, everyone else dies. Final mission plays like a slasher-stealth game except with a f***ing dog out for blood. It'll be chill.

Just look at how badass he is and tell me he's still gonna die.

I'm pretty sure tech has nothing to do with the orders and the 'tour guiding' that slowed the pacing to a crawl.

Yup, the best and most fun FPS in gaming history deserves to be bought not only on one system but two!.. play with new people on PS4 and play with old friends ( who are very cheap to get a PS4 ) on PS3.

( if most of my friends end up getting a PS4 then i wont bother with getting a PS3 version, i'll sell few games towards CoD:Ghosts so i wont be paying anything to begin with, EBgames deals ftw )

I really like the almost non-existent gameplay both those videos showed us and the unoriginal scripted moments with slow motion. I mean, they look even more try-hard and cheap then the last Call of Duty game. Reminds me of EA's modern military shooters. Very impressive.

 

10/10 GOTY for sure.
