MULTI "Next-Gen" Launch FPS showdown: Battlefield 4 wins

[JKhan]

I doubt it'll sell as much as the previous titles. The era of CoD is finally coming to an end (sm1)

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.

So ture man Still i think COD black OPS 2 is better in MP but Ghost is better in SP and best COD SP ever.

Joystiq - 3.5/5

Expanding on Treyarch's accomplishments could have elevated Call of Duty: Ghosts, but Infinity Ward largely returns to ideas it has been tweaking since the original Modern Warfare. Infinity Ward has always forged its own path, but its formulaic design document has become worn. It's a good book, but it's time to turn a new page.

Eurogamer - 7/10

Ghosts, in and of itself, is a fine game. It ticks all the boxes and then blows the boxes up in glorious 1080p resolution (on PS4 at least). Those who only ever play COD will be more than happy with it, but those who have grown weary of the series will see more of their ambivalence justified this time around. Infinity Ward had a chance here to throw down the gauntlet for the next hardware generation, to set the new standard, to show that this hugely popular, much derided behemoth can dance to a different tune. It's chosen to play a Greatest Hits package instead.

EDGE - 7/10

Many will be satisfied by the simple existence of a COD game on the day next-gen hardware launches, but this is a missed opportunity nonetheless. The studio that defined the console FPS in the current generation has declined to do the same here. By the time it gets another chance, it may be too late.

Game Informer - 8/10

Ghosts had potential to be more than it is. As the first series entry on new consoles and the first of what will assuredly be a new brand, I was disappointed to see it resemble its predecessors even more than the franchise typically does. Even without its own significant hook or sense of identity, however, Ghosts is still fun thanks to Call of Duty’s polished and reliable backbone that’s been established for years.

Game Trailers - 7/10

Ghosts is certainly not a bad game, but it offers few surprises. Although Black Ops II wasn’t always successful, it felt like it was conscious of stagnation and attempted to push the series forward through player choice in the campaign and the introduction of the 10-point system in multiplayer. By comparison, Ghosts seems almost afraid of screwing anything up.

Yes maps are too big for 6v6.

The current gen consoles are missing the game mode called GROUND WAR which is 9v9.

 

[BumperJumper]

Wait? Ghosts is 6 vs 6 on PC as well? WTF, LMAO :tv:

It is 9 vs 9 on Xbox One and PS4 AFAIK. Kind of dick move by Infinity Wards to restrict the player count on PC IMO.

I hope it doesn't sell more than 1 million copies

 

[Shyber]

Woah, pathetic scores for a COD game.
Civilization has progressed, finally. [MENTION=28]USUF[/MENTION]

Polygon - 6.5/10

Although, it's Lolygon, so let's wait for some proper reviews.

Maybe it's just me, but a lot, and I mean a lot of their ratings match mine

 

[TrueCoolGuy]

The reviews still won't affect sales though.

 

[JKhan]

Why? Are you planning to buy one yourself ?

Nah, I bought and played COD: MW2 to death. You've played one COD, you've played them all.

And neither does killer visuals. Damn BF4, I was actually hyped up for it - for destructible environments and changing strategy.

 

[Major Aly]

Even the producer for Ghosts admitted that developing a game across 6 SKUs (PS4, XBONE, PS3, 360, Wii U, PC) was a lot of stretch and a big promise to deliver...

 

[IzHee]

Finally reviewers understand that it's the same game every year!.
Just small kids will still buy this shitty game though :angry:

BF 4 is an MP game anyways, heck I think most people who by that game never even bother with the SP so it makes sense that they wouldn't put too much effort into it. Same reason why titanfall will have no SP, but TBH I wouldn't mind playing a good SP campaign in the Titan fall universe.

PC has ground war 9v9.

Lol at all those metacritic warriors. Since when COD is dependent on review scores and opinions

What exactly is wrong with multiplayer games. I mean you like BRAIN DEAD AI in the favor of more intelligent human? What is the challenge in that.

You're dissing a game which was never known for its lame SP, but the strong MP experience it offered. If you want story in an FPS, play Bioshock Infinite & Metro Last Light.

Actually they did break one game

So I have read most of the reviews and found GAMESPOT to be the most accurate.

As far as IGN bullshit like this is the greatest COD ever and stuff, it is certainly not true. Same is the case with negative reviews like the one in giantbomb,Kotaku or Eurogamer. Kotaku review is so stupid that the reviewer has played 7 hours of SP and 5 hours of MP+Extinction combined. Eurogamer kept comparing it with BF and next gen when he fails to realize why COD players will never like to play BF. But he keeps beating the bush anyway. Giantbomb reviwer also had a much more personal opinion that what he likes to see.

I am also seeing this strange trend that people are judging games for all the wrong reasons. Judging COD and BF for Single players?? Really dont we know what is important in a COD or BF game. SP or MP.

Its like judging MASS EFFECT 3 on the basis of its COOP.
