bit of a rundown on the new dedicated servers here, it also explains why we end up in lobbies with frenchies so often.

Pure bull. Irish lads I've come across are usually try hard's or just crap but never camp. French people are the biggest wussies in COD. By all means, they will use the cheapest way to play the game be it a whole 10 minutes camping using an LSAT with a target finder, or some other troll like ways. Can't stand the freaks.

Agreed, I've never played against an Irish guy that has camped anywhere near as much as a French guy.

Ha, I've played WITH and AGAINST Irish people who do exactly what your saying.


Its not a certain nationality that's the problem, its the players themselves.

does anyone have anything they'd really like to know about ghosts? i'm speaking with the infinity ward guys next week and i might have time to throw in a few questions at the end if anyone's got anything they simply must know pre-launch?

Ask is there any chance they'd get rid of the ridiculous remote control dogs

Ask are they ever going to let this series die?

there is a lack of information on what difference there is between current gen ghosts and next gen ghosts, just graphics? better engine?

Bit late for that at this stage I'd say sadly

oh one more...is ranking/prestiging the same or different?

i just cant motivate myself to prestige again after around the 4th-5th time anymore..no real rewards in it

wandatowell

All the talk of dogs and the stupid "we have to be bigger" impression I get from all the FPS game developers is really tiring me. I really miss the simplicity of COD:MW had.
Now I do love the added game modes, it freshens things up. but god dammit why cant they just go back to what Infinity Ward done that made MW so good.

MarkY91

cant seem to proerder cod hardened yet on ps4 in neither xtravision or some websites..do i got to wait until novembeR?

This a million times, you can have all the space lasers and remote control dogs and explodey things you want, as a pure multiplayer experience, COD4 is still a shining example of how to do it properly. Flawed in it's own right, but the series just went downhill from there.

i think it went downhill from waw
i loved waw was definitly a good ww2 game

mw2 was pretty good also, but had to much stuff in it
everything after that has been ****e
although i have been enjoying black ops 2 lately

MW and WAW had some of the best maps I've ever played. Some of them were fantastic for TDM.

MarkY91

i personally think black ops 2 was the best cod. i allways look forward to treyarch cods..infinity ward cods bar mw1 were all ****e. hopefully them moving away from the MW will bring new life to the game

MarkY91

new mode in cod like zombies..but with aliens. sounds fun

2Mad2BeMad

I didnt watch the video
but if its real
thats probably because activision cant make a zombies mode, think treyarch own that
i have no doubt it will be the same
still sounds like good craic only reason i got black ops 2 was for the zombies, which i have to say disappointed me this year much preferred WaW zombies, black ops 1 with the big theatre was pretty cool as well

im not a fan of zombies anymore. it was once fun but got boring. i love black ops cods...ill miss it :P

senordingdong

Yes, zombies died a death in BLOPS1.

Kino was good but the levels quickly descended into hollow gimmicks...call of the dead, the moon. Daft.

Mark Ward from IW has said something that might get me back into COD.
" Dedicated servers will be used on current gen, next gen and PC with Ghosts. And, in order to make sure that people have the best possible experience regardless of platform, location or connection, Ghosts will be using a hybrid system of dedicated servers and listen servers. So no matter where you are the game will always be trying to give you the best online performance possible".
About time.

KERSPLAT!

Finally some good news

Hate to be the breaker of bad news but a bad connection on dedicated servers is a bad connection on user hosted servers. You'll still have lag.

Makaveli

Indeed, in fact it might see you booted from games instead.

This is either the greatest looking video game ever or the worst attempt at putting off pirates ever.

Are the people at infinity ward that mad !!! It will probably run on ultra setting on a HD 5870 !! 50 gbs of hard drive space BF 4 needs less and 6gb of Ram what game on Pc has ever needed that amount . Yet they say a Dual Core Cpu will run the game .

derm0j073

A little off topic but 50 gbs for this and Killzone will eat up 20% of my PS4's HD week one of purchase .

So after playing Ghosts and BF4 at Eurogamer, for the first time ever, I'm defecting to the BF4 camp! I think I enjoyed the pacing a bit more. Ghosts was also alot of fun though, but I think I need a change of pace

Will probably end up buying both eventually though

Tell us more about Ghosts!!

Sure, we played domination on a medium-sized map. Fistly, the game is gorgeous. I played it on PC as I was able to skip the entire queue because most wanted to play on PS4/One for the first time ever (at the time, I had already played both).

The first map was strikezone - good mix of indoor/ourdoor areas and choke points. Fast paced and good flag points.

I cannot remember the name of the second map but it was a destroyed city. It looked fantastic altogether. Lots of interlinked areas to give height advantage.

We were given very little time to pick classes/perks so I really can't comment. I do know on of the early perks is a support attack dog

Feck it, thinking back, I might just buy it too

KERSPLAT!

Cheers for that.

The attack dog sounds so crap but I suppose it'll just be like the Hunter killer drone from Blops2.

Haven't thought about the game that much but I'll definitely pick it up on 360. Getting a bit bored of GTA already

MarkY91

My post above still stands. People still like the game. People still want to have all the latest maps/guns/add-ons etc.

It's not that hard to believe.

What comes with the hardened edition?

It doesn't necessarily, people haven't even played it yet so paying for add ons before release doesn't make all that much sense..

But people know what to expect. This isn't the first call of duty game.

I presume it includes the maps and special camo and that crap? If it works out cheaper it th long it's no problem.
