** Call of duty ghosts (MW4) **

Disgusting when you think about how much money they've made, same graphics, same game play, same greedy price even after years of a game being out, shows exactly the sort of business they're running! :rolleyes:

Yup. I was going to ask for this for Christmas, like i did with Black Ops 2, but not anymore.

I'll wait for Treyarch.
 
This is why you generally don't preorder anymore unless it's on the cheap! It's because of people that are buying the full price and supporting companies like this that they can get away with it.

Exactly this! They keep releasing games and laughing all the way to the bank, not giving a toss about the community.
 
I take back what i said about the graphics....After turning off fraps.. and changing the aspect ratio from auto to the actual ratio of my monitor it looks pretty damn good for a COD game. Not as good as BF4 but.....
The level with the dam breaking and the water running down looked especially good
 
Pre ordering is always a gamble, but it's usually when you get the best price before games get discounted. With games that you buy mainly for the MP you need to be playing from the start. Otherwise it a much steeper learning curve when you come to a game with experienced players.

I did say I'd never pre order again after being burned with BF3, which I've stuck to up until this latest COD and Batman AO.

I think I'll be sticking with the no pre order mantra from now on.

That really has got be a taking the ****. Like I said earlier, I am totally unsurprised by the issues people are seeing with the game, as this is not the first time it has happened.

As someone mentioned in the comments of that video, it's shocking to see all this lazy copy-and-paste programming given the large amounts of money they have available to really innovate things. As long as people keep buying it, they will keep doing it. I just wish reviewers especially would take some responsibility and give an honest review (with an honest rating) on all this, rather than all the bum licking that goes on year after year. It won't necessarily be enough purely on its own, but it's a start.

Activision made its day one COD sales announcement today just 36 hours after launch. This is sooner than similar announcements made for previous games in the series. Kotick claims it's "too early to assess sell-through" of Ghosts. Then why make the announcement now if not to avoid having to talk about numbers?

That $1Bn is sales to retail and not actual customers, I'm guessing sales are not up there with previous games, a good thing as IW and activision are scum.

I'm no COD fan, haven't bought the last couple but I don't really see it as a big issue. If this was copy/pasting maps etc then yes I'd see the point in grumbling but this is a part of the game, some animation which was copied and it's in a cut scene? I really don't see the problem.

Do people really think games are done from scratch these days? they'll re-use animation elements wherever they can, same goes for textures, sound effects and physics etc.

Well said.

I didn't know IW had made this until earlier today.. people that bought Ghosts deserve to be stung.. Treyarch are the new, old 'IW' now.

The current IW are just terrible, MW3 was boring and it looks like they haven't even stepped it up for this one.

I enjoyed CoD 3 when it came out but it did have its issues, however the next CoD Treyarch made after was good and you could see their improvement and they just got better in time.

It was said on another forum and I'll say it here but Treyarch should just leave Activision (easier said then done) and make a new IP.

No, it's just one example of the recycled trash that they keep churning out.

Also I'd understand your point if it was done only a few times, but they are recycling stuff constantly and selling it off as new and innovative. Especially when they talk about the new engine, which is actually just slightly higher res textures with the add-on of having a few destructible environments. It takes the **** to be quite frank. Especially the year we are in now with next gen consoles arriving, and they are no way making the effort to do bring something new other than badly optimised programming that is full of bugs and runs like a turd even on the best of hardware.

Hoping someone can help, When trying to play multiplayer I can't get past the 'Connecting to online services' at the start. It just attempts to connect for around 20 seconds and then tells me to try again later. Any ideas? or anyone else having any issues?
 
Iv changed my mind a little about this game... Now im seeing the graphics in there full glory and not the stupid upscaled buggy stuttery mess the game is actually quite gorgeous. Just been doing the Water level in single player and it looks really nice. No stutters at all since i turned fraps off. Its not as good as BF on a technical level but it still looks gorgeous and the campaign is farrrrrrrrrrrr better than bf's. Just make sure you all set your aspect ratio to 16:9 and make sure its not set to auto.
 
I mean this looks good enough to me.
