There is only 1,700 people playing COD Ghosts on PC right now...

Should it be expected that AW will be any better on PC with the community? Ugh, I'm not going through Ghosts again online like that. I may well go PS4 solo since my friends won't be playing.

Depends on how the new movement controls. It could get worse; we'll see.

Personally I think the game is looking like it will be very random and unbalanced which could affect things.

All up in the air until release.
 
World at War is still pretty active on pc, and there's no (or not as many) hackers unlike the console versions.

There doesn't seem to be many U.S. servers on (or my ping is just shit in that game).

Also can't stand the rampant "Only Crouch" servers. it's so annoying and boring.
 
I still think that if MW2 had Dedicated server support and mods it would still be the top CoD today.
But MW2 did have dedicated servers and mod tools. The pirates hacked it in (it was called AlterIW).

I should specify it died a couple years ago and theres been pockets of it trying to resurge. Its dead because noone cares anymore.
 
I remember when MW2 had over 400k concurrent players.

Every CoD after that went downhill and fast.

I still think that if MW2 had Dedicated server support and mods it would still be the top CoD today.

Ya, I still remember all the backslash for no dedicated servers lol
 
Ghosts is a complete joke. I've been able to enjoy all the previous games in the series to some degree, but Ghosts is iredeemable. There isn't a single good thing about it.
 
Nu Infinity Ward fucked up on all fronts, and PC has been on a steady decline for the franchise. Worst entry in the series since CoD3
 
I bought it for 6 dollars at target.

Played for 10 minutes.
Never going to play it again.

Haha me too. got it for 6 bucks online on a promotion, game is such trash. I couldn't even stomach the singleplayer.

Awful game and worst CoD, it can only go up from this POS.
 
I played it on a free Steam Weekend and was extremely dissapointed. The multiplayer feels like it had no love put into it. The last CoD I bought on PC was MW. That Star Wars mod is awesome.
 
yeah its a ghost town

Did it ever even have 50,000 players?

Actually give a fuck about PC players, and it'll pick back up again.

-Mod Tools
-Dedi servers
-optimized well.

Black Ops 2 had two of those (I think. Optimization is debatable).

Mod Tools aren't ever coming back when they have map pack(s) for mode(s) to sell you. It's a shame, because I think mod tools while having DLC maps would help than hinder each other. Though I guess their fear is someone just copying the map files and giving them out for free. :/
 
Well, considering it is a terrible CoD game makes those numbers more than justifiable. Also since Modern Warfare 2, PC hasn't had the strongest of numbers when it comes to CoD (outside of Black Ops).
No kidding, that is a pretty big boost over the baseline, did anything happen to push it over the edge?

Gamescom 2014 tournaments.
 
'Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me'

people eventually catch on to the BS that Activision shits out.

and there's many better alternatives on the PC for people to turn to ...so yeah, numbers start to dwindle.
 
So is Wii U's online community bigger than PC?

Seriously though, this was something that was on my mind when weighing whether to keep saving for a PC build. The online communities for games I enjoy are smaller.
 
Not surprised, it was already the worst mainline game in the series, but also a horribly unoptimized port missing PC specific settings that were present in previous entries. Infinity Ward have shown a complete disregard for their PC players, even going as far as officially stating that third party solutions for their missing FOV settings were accepted and wouldn't get you banned, and then months after release suddenly started banning people for using it.

Hopefully Sledgehammer do a better job with Advanced Warfare, but if not at least treyarch makes good ports, and for the last few years have gone from being the B-team to being the only COD developer to actually care about until the others prove themselves.
 
I've played quite a bit of CoD since 4, and I've probably made it to at least third or fourth prestige in the multiplayer in every iteration. Ghosts on the other hand I made it to level 14 before I stopped playing. Terrible maps, terrible netcode, terrible spawns, just overall terrible.

That being said AW is probably going to drag me back in, I'm cautiously optimistic.
 
Doesn't say much other than PC gamers rather play other games .

The better question is why is this series still so popular among console gamers. I mean according to Activision's latest financials, Ghosts is the best selling game on next fen consoles
 
Not surprised since it's such a bad game. Countless better games on PC for people to play. The series is absolutely stale at this point.
 
Are you serious?

wow. I've always wanted to try those COD games but thought they shut down. gonna get to it.
My dad plays mw3 on the wii every little while (its trucking along fine). Ill probably buy mw3 eventually so we can do coop together.
