personally i love it for snd, hate variant, and can only play ffa pubs (i did that in every other cod but not exclusively)


variant in this game just seems weird and ive played variant at a pretty high level in past cod games especially bops2
domination isn't as good in this game as it was in bops1 and cod4 it just feels too slow... octane and freight dom especially... freight dom spawns are contusive to using double semtexs and just spamming after you spawn red crate and using 4 ars

blitz is ok i guess but it seems really random sneak caps can win or lose games in equal matchups alot of people will argue stealth adds a new element of skill to the game but honestly i believe anybody with a brain can sit in a weird corner and not shoot people as the walk by i did it in ctf in other games all the time to make sure i got the return.

this is just another snd heavy game like mw3 was nothing wrong with that i suppose snd is good in this game and i like the focus on subs vs ars. thermal ars aren't that bad now i suppose i don't think they should have a reddot too or have the ability to crawl aimed in (glitch accociated with said attachment) but i'll live with it until the next cod.

opinions?

super, super boring to watch competitive on ghosts, especially domination. ctf/hp on BO2 were gold, but i still much prefer ghosts connection and maps to BO2, and obviously BO1/MW3. ghosts infinite sprint and more complicated maps require a steeper learning curve, rather than ADSing hallways in the ultra simple MW3/BO2 maps. what's funny about MW3 is some of my preferred maps were the smaller maps, but technically they're complete trash against good people.. hardhat for example, is one of my favorite maps in MW3, but defense is instantly given map control of both bomb sites with near to no movement, but the better players still win in the end. BO2's hallway heavy, 3-lane maps promoted a lot of M8/DSR ADSing, which sucked. i do have to give props to BO2's DLC, because i actually really liked a lot of those maps, because they made defense push up for map control on a lot of them, and they weren't just given it. i haven't really played anything besides SnD with my 4 days on ghosts..i think 95% of my kills are SnD.

ghosts has definitely gotten a lot better from the patches. they fixed dead silence and nerfed amplify a little, although i still wish DS completely negated amp. the nerfing of IEDs and riot shields has also immensely helped the game. i haven't had time to play the game since the SMG buff, so dunno how they are.

tar is still the best overall but the tar is the best gun in the entire game since vanilla anyway

and i agree with everything said especially hardhat being defense advantaged but if you know the good nade spots b Bomb is easy to flush and they have to watch cross from bars from back construction hopup

SnD in ghosts is really good to me. it has a learning curve (i suppose i mean i didn't mind it) the only thing i hate is playing freight in 2v2's im 44-1 in dubs in this game and freight is always a fucking pain

I enjoy Ghosts. I like that the maps don't funnel everything into a couple spots like some of the previous CoD games.

Levelling up isn't fun, neither are challenges, getting gold guns is stupid af, i don't want the challenge to be get 100 lean kills, prefer BO2's more variety of challenges.

Maps are kinda big but nice since plenty of places to go, kind of feel like it'd be fun if there were ground war

still think guns do too much damage, die so quickly in this one, makes it easier for any scrub to do good

I liked bo2 more

I've played more casually on this CoD than ever before, and I'm having a lot more fun with it. I usually just play TDM/Kill Confirmed with my roommate and just run pubs. Not really k/d whoring but I still have pretty good stats. I agree with Jupe on how fast you can kill. I can snipe across the map with any AR, it just seems to easy. There is really no incentive to use anything besides an AR, although I run the K7 and the Tar pretty often. As far as game modes go, I can't say much as I've really only played TDM/Kill Confirmed and SnD occasionally. I'm still pissed demo is gone. If I had a decent group to play with I'd definitely be willing to play other shit, but it's a lot easier running pubs in kill based games when you're playing with your shitty roommate lol. The leveling system is pretty bad, there is no reason to not prestige. I can have all the same classes I used my previous prestige at level 1, which seems stupid. I like how you have different characters, but the squad point and leveling system is just plain bad. Killstreaks aren't as bad in this game as they were in previous games. IED's seem overpowered, I can't play without sitrep. I have that bitch on every class.

i can picture it now. defense shuts the left/right doors..doesn't break the gate. one sits on second story of red..the other i'm guessing right outside timber watching the back of all the buildings?

i also love the learning curve of ghosts. been sitting at a 2.5-2.7KDR, which is my best steady KDR in the franchise. i obviously only play pubs though. i don't think i even have 20 kills with the remington and have never once equipped amplify.

The Call Of Duty series has taken a turn for the worse. Now all people do is camp and sit in a window slot until you run buy then BAM, get shot in the back. Or you spawn in front of someone and get shot instantly. There is no more run and gun. That shit ended with MW2.

And as for the "new" generation of gamers, they are a bunch of non confrontational, cotton candy motherfuckers. Sissy ass bitches who are scared to die in a video game.

Pathetic generation of kids these days. Straight bitches.

i own.
