Wow hip firing at distance looks so easy and accurate.

So there is a ton of tweets from Drift0r about his time with the game.

Drift0r ‏@Drift0r 53m

In Ghosts, suppressors no longer sound like wet farts. They are loud like real life suppressors.

Ghost hit detection: Seems good on LAN. Nothing weird. Less auto aim / aim assist. Shield has a working hitbox. Killcams loaded weird though

Drift0r ‏@Drift0r 5h

Big maps are much more fun in this game.

Drift0r ‏@Drift0r 8h

The most expensive perk in the game is Deadeye. It says "Consecutive kills increase the chance to do more damage with bullet weapons."

Drift0r ‏@Drift0r 9h

CoD Ghosts doesn't play like BO2 or MW3. The new movement system has a VERY different feel to it. It's all about conserving momentum.

Drift0r ‏@Drift0r 10h

Practicing with the sniper I just "lean-scoped" somebody. Also there is a kind of quickscoping but it's REALLY different feeling. Slower too

Also perks:

And the 30 new weapons:

No doubt going to be a lot of information over the course of today and tomorrow as they upload their videos and also their thoughts.

There is also no theater mode or streaming in-game. Could this assist connections?

Hah..has anyone got anything decent to say about this?!

Looks pretty decent to me. Won't be buying on 360 AND Xbox One though..just the latter.

I think it's look pretty good.
The squads thing looks like it could be fun. And some of the new game modes.
I wish they'd actually cut back on the killstreaks though. And I've seen a video analysing the trailer and it shows a MOAB
Everything shown will count for nothing if the match making, netcode and host selection sucks.

After watching the trailer on my laptop, instead of my phone it does actually look decent. I'm not getting hyped as blops 2 looked awesome in the trailers but it was actually poo.

I really hope this isn't a disaster like Blops 2.

*edit*

Glad that there are big maps again.

I know COD is the game that people love to **** off but I do like the series. It's just gone downhill since Blops 1. I'm hoping this game is a return to form.

Pre ordering PE when I get home.

PS3/PS4 or 360/XB1?

I love the Eminem song.

Showed my GF when she got home (massive Eminem fan) and she even said it would be awesome to game to this song.

 

[Soulja]

Wii u.

I knew you were a Treyarch fan.

I am unsure whether reducing the kill streaks is a good or bad thing. I do like COD4 style with everyone having the same and being balanced but I do like the choice as different KS suit different game modes. What is wrong with the MOAB though? I understand peoples complaints about the nuke as it was game ending but at least MOAB the game carried on.

Yup, netcode like blops 2 will ruin the game. I think they either need to use dedicated servers or make the areas smaller. I think blops 2 would be so much better if the game matchmaking picked people from UK instead of all over Europe.

I really hope this isn't a disaster like Blops 2.

To be honest, Ghosts on next gen could cause a huge power drain on the electricty infrastructure causing multiple nuclear powerstations to be overworked and breakdown. Each power station could then explode making 99% of the planets surface unhabitable and Ghosts still wouldn't be as bad a Blops 2.

Glad that there are big maps again.

Big maps? maybe. It depends on how they are designed, going back to MW2 the only one I didn't really like was Underpass, maps like Afghan, Derailed, Karachi, Scrapyard I thought were all good maps. If they design them like that I will be happy.

 

[antijoke]

I just hope them stripping out theatre mode and all the streaming code, and the extra power in the next gen consoles makes the netcode better.

Can't wait to build my female character and clam drop people.

 

[Quinnaay]

Im excited for this and have played COD religiously since COD 4.

Pro's:
Tons of customisation
New weapons
New gamemodes (cranked looks great, Search and Rescue looks really interesting)
Snipers i believe wont be as good at quickscoping
Squads looks really cool
New perk system seems good
New killstreaks
Possible Specialist making a return
Competitive is being encouraged again
Varied maps

Cons:
C4 can still be thrown like baseballs
Environment can be destroyed(could stop campers and be a good thing though)
Leaning round walls could potentially be horrid
Snipers have peripheral vision
Support streaks
Grenade launcher.

But all the above boils down to is connection, and how good/bad it will be.

I'm not going to hold my breath, it will probably be along the lines....."Sorry, we can't do that."

From Eurogamer:

Call of Duty players have long called for the addition of dedicated servers in the hope they would reduce lag and other negatives experienced during online multiplayer, but so far these wishes have fallen on deaf ears.

But with Call of Duty: Ghosts, due out on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 as well as PC, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii U, there is renewed hope that dedicated servers will become a reality.

So, will Call of Duty: Ghosts feature dedicated servers? Watch this space.

"I can't talk about it yet!" Infinity Ward executive producer Mark Rubin teased when quizzed on the subject by Eurogamer at the Call of Duty: Ghosts multiplayer reveal event in Los Angeles today.

"We're not talking about anything dedicated server-related yet."

That's two mentions of the word "yet", suggesting we'll get an answer either way sooner rather than later. Gamescom next month, perhaps?

Videos inbound!!!!

Looks like IW finally implemented objectives into the scoreboard.

looks good to me, wasn't expecting a massive graphical update anyway, when you look back at the first cod that was on the 360 graphics have changed massively since then. it looks smooth as anything frame rate wise which is good. realy happy about cross gen play as I will be picking up on day 1 on the Xone and you can imagine there wont be massive online community at first, saying that maybe that would be better to keep all the kids off it hahaha

 

[antijoke]

I went back to MW2 the other night, and the graphics have certainly improved even over that. People who say otherwise are either blind or stubborn.

PC footage mate.

Are you sure about that? Tmartn said they were playing on XO's.

 

[Alrik]

No more death streaks... I'd **** myself if they included one of the more annoying death streaks like Painkiller/Martyrdom (or created a brand new one) as a perk

Even if they get the perks, weapons and killstreaks just right I still fully expect them to screw up else where such as maps, connections or the spawns.

 

[GastricTitan]

Wasn't overly impressed with the MP reveal, think I'll stick with Battlefield 4.

Woody's gamertag said high end PCs with xbox controllers ?
