Shotguns + Ext Mags + Damage = WIN

KSG in Black Ops 2 with long barrel could cross map you too though. In hardcore it's effectively a sniper rifle.

Any pistol in hardcore was a sniper as well.


What are the shotguns like in ghosts? I had great fun in blops2 with a Remington

Luap

Good marketing, they give us **** big maps and nearly forcing us to buy the dlc with the small maps.

Really liked the DLC in MW2, to a lesser extent in Blops1, stopped downloading it 1/2 way through MW3 even though I had it all pre-purchased and never made it that far with Blops 2.

DLC meh.

Trailer Park is a fantastic map, one of the best for Domination and Demolition.

It reminds me of MW2 which I enjoyed. So if you like that I'd recommend this.

+2 I'd say 90% of my gaming so far on Ghosts has been Blitz. Anything that promotes rushing is fine by me.

I'm back playing abit of MW2 at the moment.
Can anyone recommend a good counter to this?

JamboMac

Is anybody else getting the usual multiplayer issues with certain people being impossible to kill. My nat is 2 I have between 10-15 upload and it's probably most of the time between 40-50 download E-fibre. I thought this speed of broadband would solve this issue.

Randall Floyd

The spawns are still fantastic. I see people spawn in front of me and I kill them instantly and it's hilarious, when I spawn in front of someone and get killed it is the single greatest injustice in the history of mankind!

Probably the most campy game mode I've played so far actually.

Changed my Xbox one preorder from ghosts to battlefield, not because I don't Like the game, I do. But from what I've seen it's not really that much of an improvement on the 360.

Ground War and Search and Destroy are the only tangible differences i see, Battlefield should be fairly decent on the next gen consoles.

Yeah, and it looks like most of the crew is sticking with the 360 for a while yet. Titanfall probably going to be the first proper alternative though.

It's campy because they are defending an objective. If they are all running around they will lose because no one is watching the base.

I stay around my base. But yeah the ads looking at the base is kinda annoying.

Search and Destroy has been added to the 360 version

Yeah i spotted that earlier, hopefully they add GW too at some future date, but I'm not sure if the old gen consoles just can't run it or something, can't see why they wouldn't be able to.

MarkY91

going online now to play some domination or kill confirmed. add me on ps3 if you wana join it

The amount of stuff that's been stripped out of it compared to black ops makes me wonder why they can't have ground war. There's no livecasting, no theatre mode, and the graphics aren't radically improved, whats hogging all the resources?

FutureGuy

Black ops 2 had me for 7 months solid.

Ghosts. A little over 5 hours. Trading it back in tomorrow. Joyless multiplayer.

BO2 is so superior in almost every way. Better maps, better unlocking system (I hate the fact that you can unlock so much stuff early), better XP system, better perks, better perk system, better kill streaks, you know what you are unlocking and you can choose what unlocks to play for, I'd even argue that the graphics are better too - everything is muddled.

The only thing I like is the return of the support kill streaks.

On the plus side, that'll be 55 extra credit against my xbox one when I trade it in. If BF4 doesn't hook me I'm not even sure what I'll play on the machine :-D

i have to agree. black ops 2 is superior in every way and i got about 7 months out of black ops 2 also. but im liking ghosts. not loving it like blops...it will do until treyarch..the real call of duty lads release their next cod

KERSPLAT!

I'm still playing BLOPs2

Snake Plisken

Is the PS4 version using Dedicated servers or was that a spoof sold to us by IW?

This comment made me unrealistically happy

NoviGlitzko

Still think BO's 2 was a terrible COD. I'll always remember it for the camping and the overpowered killstreaks. I just hated the SR71 & Lodestar.

The lodestar was devastaing but I didn't run into the wrong end of them too often


I agree on the SR71 though - Way too overpowered. Should never be in a COD game IMO

rolexeagle1

I know its a long shot but does anyone who has a current xbox live gold membership want to PM me the 7 day trial code that came in the Ghosts box? Can't afford gold at the moment and I ran out :D

Ghosts is doing a lot of stuff correct. The perk system trumps black ops 2's system hands down, imo. Gun balance is also great in Ghosts (outside of BS quickscoping and the MSBS), Black Ops 2 had OP secondaries, the r870, quickscoping, varying gun imbalance. The unlock system in ghosts is also better too, imo. I disliked the token system in BO2. There shouldn't be level caps for unlocking, ridiculous. Ghosts has it right. There should never be a VSAT/SR71 in any COD game, ghosts also has this right. This crippled BO2 hugely. lots of OP streaks in BO2 aswell, and they cycle really quickly.

Connection is just as bad in BO2 as it is in Ghosts, probably a placebo effect that people are seeing it as not as bad, after going back to BO from Ghosts. BO2 maps were decent, some good ones, some meh ones. Ghosts maps are terrible and I will agree on that point. But overall, Ghosts is an improvement in a tonne of ways on what BO2 didn't do. Smaller maps, better connections on next gen (hopefully), and a fixed spawn system will help this game tonnes, not holding my breath but who knows. Maybe in the future the DLC maps will phase out the current maps in rotation, as they're mostly a joke. Even for 9v9 GW, some of the maps are a piss take, what were they thinking. Game can still be improved on, but off the bat it's doing a lot, lot more better than BO2 did.

Support is great and really well balanced. So is specialist. Assault sucks, but beats being OP. That's my two cents anyway

TL DR I prefer Ghosts hopefully the future will see some improvements

gimli2112

Haven't played this yet but watched a bit on youtube and have to agree the maps seem like a clusterfu** Always prefered IW maps to Treyarch even liked the MW3 maps - African ones/Dome/Fallen/Hardhat anyways
Hoping the connection / hit detection is a big improvement on Blops 2 on the next gen.

NoviGlitzko

The only gripes I have with Ghosts are the spawns and maps. The AR's are OP and 95% use them which is a clear sign of it, but it's not necessarily a disadvantage because you can just use one yourself. There is a problem with the SMG's still that they don't shoot straight. The Vepr comes close to it.

As for the spawns - IW said last night that they will release a patch to fix it on this and next gen consoles, so hopefully we can scratch one of the problems off the list. With a bit of luck the DLC will have smaller maps. Still a better game than BO2 by 90% of the things in the game.

I'll list my version of the way the maps go in this game:

The Good:
Octane
Freight
Strikezone
Warhawk

The Average:
Prison Break
Sovereign
Stormfront
Tremor
Whiteout

The Bad:
Chasm
Flooded
Overlord
Stonehaven
Siege

I think Flooded is probably the worst COD map I've ever played in.

I have to disagree im afraid, myself and my crew love that map

But why? You could easily go around for 2-3 minutes with nothing happening. Then you could just get shot in the back.

sounds like battlefield :P

Ramza

QSing is becoming a problem, I'm dying off very long gun streaks and close to KEMs by these ******s with their QSing nonsense. Clearly OP, bit sad when it's the only thing killing me 90% of the time of my streak. Filling them full of bullets only to be shot down by 1 second a laser cannon, load of crap

Ramza

Literally my only deaths today have been by BS knife, MSBS and QSers. just lol. Frauds

rolexeagle1

How do you get the KEM strike, I got it from field orders before....

25 point streak e.g. 25 kills or mixture of kills and obj's such as dom points taken

Objective game types are great on it, very tense.
