Split bump.

I need to count how many times you say that. XD

 

[Iacobellis]

I wish Activision/IW would take this as a chance to reboot the franchise. CoD4 was downright amazing and nothing has matched it, yet. I think it speaks for itself when the campaign can make people (including me) become so fascinated with the history and events surrounding Chernobyl and Pripyat.

 

[Tamanon]

Every time I see that title, I think of "My Head is Full of Ghosts" and get the song stuck in my head.

Did it compel you to play the STALKER series?

 

[Kerub]

This image looks really lame, even for COD standards.

At this point I'm just waiting for the teaser trailer.

Personally, I can't wait to see the teaser image for the teaser trailer for the trailer.

 

[alfredofroylan]

Ok... honest question here. A Call of Duty Game mixed with Fatal Frame involving ghosts of fallen warriors, horror elements and supernatural add ons for the weapons is a good idea ... right?

 

[Iacobellis]

I looked into the series after doing extensive research on Chernobyl, but never got around to playing them. I'm more of a console gamer, so that might be why.

No.

 

[VXLbeast]

those look like some kawaii eyes

COD: Uguu Ops?

 

[graboids]

hope it more than just a 4-5 hr campaign full of set pieces and the same MP on slightly different maps... but it won't be. Guess I can only blame myself since I keep buying them...

 

[rakhir]

I liked this game more when it was taking place in Starcraft world.

 

[rakkadakka]

There are many others in which he is alive and well.

They're just taking a page out of Marvel's playbook.

All done in a "night vision" green.

I hope you play next to Ghost and not as him. I mean his voice was the best part.

I don't even know if anyone at Activision is still left that understands what makes Call of Duty 4 a great game.

 

[Mr.Squirrel]

OH GOODIE....sorry, I don't know how people still like this game.

Why would you come into a thread about a game you don't like?

 

[kazebyaka]

I wonder if this game is stealth one.

 

[EatChildren]

I hope you play next to Ghost and not as him. I mean his voice was the best part.

Ghost is deeeeaaad.

 

[RoKKeR]

I don't even know if anyone is still left that knows what makes Call of Duty 4 a great game.

It was the trail blazer for blockbuster military campaigns, and it did all the right things.

 

[Gorillaz]

gloryhole?

I lost it reading this

 

[bidguy]

Ghost is deeeeaaad.

prequeeeeeeel
dude on the cover looks young

 

[Kinyou]

Ghost is deeeeaaad.

Then it's his brother or father or mother I don't care as long as the voice stays.

Hell, Ghost was already the copycat version of Gaz from MW1

 

[kuYuri]

Call of Duty: Ghosts

Spoiler

Recon

If the rumors are true and Spec Ops is gone, I wonder if the game will have another hopefully 4-player co-op focused mode.

 

[EatChildren]

The original rumour list, which correctly identified the title as Call of Duty: Ghosts, said it takes place after Modern Warfare 3.

 

[The Smoking Bun]

I would love a supernatural Call Of Duty. Fighting ghosts and demons with a Javelin missile launcher.

 

[BeerSnob]

Ghost is deeeeaaad.

So Ghost's ghost is Ghost in Call of Duty Ghosts. Got it.

 

[Doug Heffernan]

I like that front cover, a lot.

Me too, that means they'll change it.

 

[Gorillaz]

Then it's his brother or father or mother I don't care as long as the voice stays.

Because Ghost and Gaz are the same voice actors.

 

[Toa TAK]

They're still in denial. And they'll never snap out of it.

 

[TriGen]

So Ghost's ghost is Ghost in Call of Duty Ghosts. Got it.

I actually think that might be the case.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Ghost isn't one person. A series of people wear the mask and it gets passed on when one dies.

Spoiler

Made that up, but it sounds right.

 

[Kinyou]

Because Ghost and Gaz are the same voice actors.

I know. What I mean is that just because Ghost is dead doesn't mean he's dead dead.

 

[antitrop]

I had to edit in "at Activision".

I know that game fans, and myself included, understand why Call of Duty 4 is better than everything that has come after it. I just don't think anyone working on the games does, anymore.

I agree, it seems like they just toss on a new skin add some perks and call it a day.

Wife and I used to love playing CoD together but after Black Ops (first one) we just grew tired of it all. Hopefully they can do something fresh on the new consoles because it really is a fun game to play for a hour or so.

 

[Anticitizen One]

Is this based on the comic series?

Also, could this be the game that starts the inevitable COD sales decline?

 

[Frogfucious]

I ain't afraid of no ghosts... and surprisingly pretty hyped for this reveal.

 

[EatChildren]

He's a symbol. An idea. A beacon of hope his friends, and a symbol of terror for his enemies. Every generation another dons the mask, and each is just as devoid of any real personality and characterisation as the last. And people will love him regardless. Because man that mask is dope.

Got it, and agreed.

It's very disappointing how the series has been unable to capture what CoD4 perfectly did.

We just re-created Army of Two.

That's why I kept buying CoD for so many years. It was just a game with good replay value as I could play here-and-there over the span of quite a few months.

 

[VXLbeast]

blah blah blah GRAPHICS THE WORLD HAS SEEN™

Same engine confirmed!

 

[Kinyou]

USING A NEW ENGINE™ ALSO KNOWN AS THE QUAKE 3 ENGINE™ USING NEW LIGHTNING TECHNICS™ AND OUT OF THIS GRAPHICS THE WORLD HAS SEEN™

I actually hope that's the case. I'm pretty sure that the gameplay would extremely suffer from an engine change. Just look at what happened to CoD 3

A French soldier caused outrage by wearing a Ghost mask, probably because it ranks above thermonuclear war in terms of intimidation. Perhaps because simply staring at it has the same effect of being water boarded for 6 hours straight, including feeling of drowning. Ultimately, the amount of enemy forces who surrendered as a direct consequence of looking at it made the French government envious.

 

[Big_Al]

I don't even know if anyone at Activision is still left that understands what makes Call of Duty 4 a great game.

I think they know exactly what made COD 4 so good but they can't back down in that direction anymore. MW2 set the series in a (horrible IMO) direction of many killstreaks, even more over the top multiplayer etc. The majority of CODs fans now want that. It's also the reason I can't get excited about whatever Respawn are working on until I see it, not a MW2 fan tbh BUT they did make COD4 so it can go either way. I played near enough exclusively Barebones mode in BLOPS and you had, at the very most, 1k - 2k people playing that and that was at peak times. Out of the fanbase it has that is fuck all and they removed it in BLOPS 2 as well. As much as I love COD2/COD4/BLOPS gone are the good ol days of less is more. But the fans enjoy it so I guess that's what matters, I'm a very very small minority in the fanbase today. To give you an example Treyarchs multi lead David Vonderharr said in an interview he prefers a slower, more tactical game but the fans kept saying to them 'Faster! FASTER!!!!!!!' which lead to Black Ops 2. I'd be very interested to see what type of multi they'd make if they were allowed to do what they wanted.

 

[TriGen]

I actually hope that's the case. I'm pretty sure that the gameplay would extremely suffer from an engine change. Just look at what happened to CoD 3

Man, CoD3 was awful. If they hadn't bounced back with MW I would gave up right there.
