I personally dont agree with Metascore for Multiplayer centric games because in my opinion it cannot be judged properly

My BF4 is Preloading so will post my impressions about it when its released here

I started playing BF4 last weekend. I now wonder why they even bothered with an SP campaign. It's a whole lot of pretty looking crap game with a pathetic uninspired script/plot. Even on the technical side, I was expecting the bar to be raised, in terms of destruction and flanking options but wow, didn't realize I'd be so disappointed. Good thing is that my PC handles it on Ultra at 40ish Frames @ 1080p and 200Hz with motion smoothing makes it a super smooth experience. The bad thing is that the game sucks consistently as a game, from low 720p to ultra 1080p.

Destructoid - 5/10

Contrary to the old saying, you can teach an old dog new tricks. Black Ops II demonstrated that with style. Ghosts, however, is a dog that simply doesn't want to change. It knows what it is, and sticks with it. It would be a respectable endeavor, if it didn't lead to such an underwhelming and predictable little product. What a sleepy, sleepy dog.

Gamespot - 8/10

From an exuberant campaign full of spectacle and variety to the way Extinction's unpredictable aliens force you to use those targeting skills in entirely new ways, Ghosts strikes an excellent balance between the familiar and the novel. This is a game that's keenly aware of the series' strengths, but doesn't find itself beholden to them. No matter what standard you apply, Call of Duty: Ghosts is a terrific first-person shooter.

IGN - 8.8

Call of Duty: Ghosts isn't a reinvention of the franchise, but proves there's still room for innovation within its existing formula. Though at the risk of overcomplicating things at times, its robust multiplayer gameplay, surprisingly fun co-op modes, and lengthy, challenging, and varied campaign makes Ghosts one of the best Call of Duty games to date.

Giant Bomb - 3/5

Ghosts offers the same style of video game combat that Call of Duty has had since 2007. The core of it is still engaging and can be very thrilling, if you're receptive to this type of action. In fact, it's still my favorite online multiplayer shooter. But the bells and whistles surrounding the game are muted and missing, leaving behind that same core without giving you enough new and exciting reasons to come back. Even with the improved graphics to be had on next-generation consoles, I'd rather play Black Ops II.

My first impressions with Ghosts (multiplayer) on PC

- Maps are too big for 6v6, most of the time I am just roaming around, trying to find someone. Map structure similar to MW3, no memorable ones like we had Skidrow/Favela etc in MW2.
- Soldier models look quite crap, like if they have been picked up from counter strike.
- Graphics overall look quite neat, but nothing that would make it a next-gen game.
- Really bad port on PC (Uses 2GB ram and you can't launch with anything less than 6gb). FOV locked to 65.
- Menu keeps stuttering all the time (will probably be fixed soon)
- No dedicated servers. Either they are not turned on right now or IW probably lied about it. Out of 10 games I've played so far, I was only able to complete 2.
- Seems like an updated version of MW3 (Gameplay/mechanics)

Being a COD fan, I am quite disappointed. All the fuss we heard about the new engine over the past months (which isn't actually new) and now all the same shit as before. I haven't played SP yet, but I think they should really close down COD series and make something new instead.
