Not saying he shouldn't be complaining but......he's whining too much.

-PC version didn't get enough attention
-Graphics aren't next gen
-Performance issues
-Battlefield is better

Was he expecting anything different? COD isn't a graphical powerhouse. That is to be expected. As for performance issues those should be fixed with updates to drivers.

I guess as a console gamer myself he comes off as an arrogant and self-entitled PC gamer.

I think this is a horrible mentality.

I guess you come off as a misinformed console gamer then? Cause everything he complains about is totally justified. The port is incredibly abysmal. No way around it.

e: honestly thinking about getting blops ii for pc right about now, i want something to play until destiny and titanfall lol

To those who are playing, how are the maps? I've watched a bunch of matches and thought they were all conducive to close encounter, CQC, meet the enemy around a blind corner bullshit. But then I was reading around the COD forums and saw this:

"Let's start with my favourite topic, and which I find is the most important in this game, the maps. Looking back at the maps in Black Ops 2, they were small, not many lines of sight, small maps caused a messed up spawn system, maps that only encouraged one style of play and maps that didn't really get you thinking tactically. It seems as if Ghosts has gone the complete opposite with their maps. Much larger, several long sight lines for snipers, plenty of buildings and cover for CQC and maps that encourage several styles of play. What has really impressed me is the fact that each and every player can use their favourite weapon type, and still have a positive benefit to the team, whether they are using an SMG or a Sniper Rifle. The maps get you thinking tactically. I find that I am much more aware in this game than I was in previous titles, of where I am running, and what cover I have around me, seeing that there are plenty more spots for snipers..."

Agree, disagree, what say you?

Flop of duty? Only 450k online at 4pm that seems low on the flagship console day one... Picked up my 360 and PS4 copies. Only got to play for an about 90 minutes, gotta go to work. :(

Maps are massive and crazy vertical levels. I could see this becoming a snipers game, used as intended.. Looks like honey badger is the beast gun in my limited time as everyone still running like crazy still.

I'd agree with that generally. I haven't found myself useless with a sniper rifle on most of the maps. Freight was a little tough, but sometimes it's getting used to knowing what the sightlines are and when you have to move. It's not a game where you can just sit still, with so many avenues of attack. It's all about shoot and change positions. Also, hearing footsteps again greatly helps you navigate the corners.

A fan made fix has been C&D? The fuck is this shit.

Also, WTF, I did the pre-load 2 days before the game came out and now it's making me redownload the whole MP again.

What the hell is with this game... ?

That's the way it is.

I had to download another 21GB after I activated the game. It takes up well over 50GB on my HDD.

What's the name of that map that's partially flooded where you can fall in water pits? Because fuck that map. It and the castle map may be the worst CoD maps ever.

Yeah, at least BF4:
a) looks better
b) performs better
c) has options PC gamers expect
d) doesn't freeze at the menu
Click to expand...


lol no. Leaving out game quality/graphics BF4 has been an utter clusterfuck for me and is waaaaay buggier than Ghosts has been. Ghosts does have a few performance issues but BF4 has been one of the worst PC releases for me in the last few years. It's a shame as a I love that game too.

As for Ghosts finished the single player and as always had a good time with it. The COD single player campaigns are my guilty pleasure. I wouldn't buy the game purely for it but as part of a package I enjoy it. I did laugh at how (near end game spoiler)
Moonraker it gets towards the end. Shooting dudes in space but with a machine gun lol. You can tell they wanted to give them laser guns like Moonraker but I guess they didn't want to annoy the 'fans'

The very end made me laugh out loud as well, very silly.

I agree. The maps are much better than MW3, and while most of them don't have anywhere near the level of personality that the BLOPS2 maps do (still most of them are brown looking destroyed urban same, same), they're more fun to play on. In TDM I've found a lot more randoms actually moving in groups and covering each other, because they have to. Running around like a headless chicken will not get you as far on these maps as in the previous games. No weapon group seems particularly OP or weak yet; I've been ussing assault, LMGs, and the marksman rifles all to good effect. I'd be a lot more impressed with Ghosts if it didn't look so bad graphically on my platform (360). IMO visuals are inferior to the previous 4 titles in the series. For some reason the maps all just seem so lifeless, I can't quite put my finger on it.

Just throwing a random comment like this out there doesn't help anyone without sources. People kept saying that with MW3, and MW2, and using VPN to unlock Steam games, and using proxies to buy Origin games, but no one ever has any proof of this happening. It's always someone who read about it elsewhere, a one sentence comment with nothing to back it up. When someone finally tracks the source, it's a random comment on Steam forums about some guy possibly modifying exe files and again, a 1-2 sentence statement without any proof.

If I'm wrong and this is actually happening, well that's terrible, but right now I'm not convinced at all.

As a bonus, here's a 7 hour old quote from IW community representative saying that they didn't ban for using FOV changer tools before, but has to ask the team about the situation with Ghosts: https://twitter.com/candyslexia/status/397757781262233600

Welp, definitely going to regret this purchase for a while. Played about an hour and I'm done unless they release a patch for this shit. Barely hits 45-55 on low/1080p and stutters horribly. Completely unplayable.

Completely agree.

Reminds me of when D3 came out, and Blizz haters came out to the forums claiming they were hacked WITH an authenticator. Then blizz rep would come in, and say something like "We checked your account, there's no authenticator" or one was just added 30 mins ago.

All in all, Blizz did this dozens of times, and not a single time was the OP telling the truth

I used the FoV tool to 90 and this game just got 2x better

Good video Max though it's funny listening to your experiences compared to mine. I hated MW3, it's easily up there as one of the worst CODs for me and I despise its maps, but I'm liking Ghosts quite a bit.

You're definitely right in that they aren't very exciting but I'm finding them a lot of fun to actually play. Combine that with the absolutely glorious dialling down of killstreaks and how hard they are to get (as it should be IMO) it feels more towards older COD to me than the newer 'faster faster faster!' style CODs been going for. If anything it reminds me of Black Ops 1 in a way.
