** The Official Call of Duty: Ghosts (CoD 2013) thread ***

[biron_w]

I still like it, I like the warehouse map, the jungle one, the one with the tracks and overlord.

Like the long lines of sight. Not sure how relevant those marksman rifles are. Did they replace lmgs?

Overlord, Stormfront, Siege and Freight are my favourite maps.
Marksman rifles are pretty decent. On Overlord they're awesome.

I like the way the netcode in this game seems to just work.

I still believe theatre mode is what caused us all the heartache.

I've been saying for years it was the Theatre causing the problems.
Gotta say I'm impressed with how this game runs. I've only had a couple of bad games so far. Which is acceptable as it's totally impossible to have every game running right.

Is there a stupidly overpowered gun in this one yet (like the AK74u was in one of the previous cods)?

The sniper rifles. They're a one-shot-kill to practically any part of the body, have an attachment that increases damage and there is a perk to increase aiming speed so QSing is super easy.

I couldn't imagine going back to Black Ops II.....

I'll be interested to read this thread in a couple of months times when the honeymoon period is up.

Yep! I remember saying I liked BO2 when it first came out and then I ended up detesting that game. Saying that, I remember Treyarch making some hot fixes just after the new year which made BO2 awesome for most players I knew and then they went and changed it AGAIN and it made the game crap again.

I seem to be getting outgunned in every 1 on 1, even if the guy's looking the other way he manages to kill me.
can't seem to find a working gun on this game.

As I said I can't draw a definate conclusion in one night but if it carries on like last night I will be happy. Though going how the other COD's have gone a patch to improve the netcode will probably destroy he netcode for me and bring back the rage.

Pretty much the same experience for me, heres hoping IW don't patch it like Trollarch did. Though I still wonder whether it was a host problem as most people on here are going to have good enough connections to pull host most matches.

loving this game, favourite gun so far honey badger love the maps esp the castle one

I think it was match making and host selection in general that ruined BO2. I rarely got into lobbies with just UK players and with a UK host. Most of the time it was French players and a French host.

Hopefully with the changes IW have made to match making, and with the addition of Dedicated Servers in a month or so, this game will continue to be decent online.

Could also be down to skill based matchmaking opposed to ping based.

I had forgotton about blops2 being skill based, it has been discussed to death but I can't seeing it being atrributal to one specific area of the matchmaking. Either way IW seem to have fixed it and, something I didn't think I would say again, I am actually looking forward to spending time on this one.

Any of you folk going to be around tonight? From about 6ish.

 

[Greboth]

I will be on but working later tonight so wont be on until about 7 / 7:30.

Walked into shop yesterday and walked out with a copy of Ghosts, why did I do it to myself. Hated all the previous versions except CoD2.

Spent most of last night playing with the Squads stuff, it really doesn't feel like CoD and was quite fun. Haven't dared set foot into multiplayer yet.

The previous talk of poor hit detection seems to have gone quiet............
Quelle Surprise

I've certainly not found any issues my self.

 

[ONESHOTKILL]

A few times now while playing hc kill confirmed I have had it where I shoot somebody and the game will spawn a team mate in same place as the guy I shot so it instantly kills me for a team kill , gets very enraging

Not until about 10.

 

[biron_w]

I'll be around tonight. But if you lot are playing Dom I won't bother. Not a big fan of that game mode.
*edit*
I'd quite like to try out Blitzed with a full team.

 

[antijoke]

Don't you only play hardcore?

I forgot about that as well. Treyarch just royally messed up with match making in BO2.

 

[Soulja]

I only really like playing KC now. The maps are rubbish for domo, too many places to be shot from when capturing a flag!
