Ok, we are 1 week into the release of COD Ghost. We have seen all the good,the bad, and the ugly posted all over the internet and forums. So here is my opinion on the game.
All in all I like the game. It is completely different in my opinion than past COD games. I believe they are trying to put more team work into the game and take out the 1 man run and gun. The more tactical you play and the more team work you use the better your team does.
There is still some lag in the game but no where near as bad as we had in COD Black Ops 2. But any time you use some ones internet to host there will be issues. I have still seen talks of dedicated servers coming to 360 for COD Ghost , but no time frame.
The new leaning system takes a little to get use to, but is proving to be very useful. Instead of sticking your whole body out to peak around a corner, with this system you lean around only exposing a little bit of your character. The climbing system has also been improved as it seems you are ready to fight faster now after vaulting a wall or climbing up stuff. The new knee slide system is fun and can be useful if you are moving from cover to cover, but in a gun fight, I am not sure how useful it will be.
As far as the guns you have to choose from, I find myself enjoying the Assault rifles and the Marksman rifles. The few assault rifles I have used have a good feel to them and have very good take down power at close and medium rage gun fights. They can also be useful at long range if you burst fire them. The Marksman rifles have great take down power at medium to long range with 9 out of 10 hits being a 1 shot kill. I use mine to snipe with. As far as the attachments, there are a wide range of them to choose from depending on what your preferences are.
The perks are vast as you have a ton of them to choose from. You should have no problem finding a good combination that will work best for you. I choose to be more stealth with my set up so I can be more tactical for holding a position or moving about the map hunting down my prey.
They have introduced some new game modes as well as remove some old fan favorites. I have played a few of the new game modes and have enjoyed a few and a few are not for me. As far as removing some of the old game modes, I believe that was a mistake as these modes a lot of people enjoyed. I hear they are being back Search & Destroy in the next few days, so lets see if they bring back any of the other game modes as well. Squad mode can be fun as you have a wide range of thing you can do and still earn XP and Squad Points that apply to your Multiplayer game. Extinction will be fun for those who enjoy zombies from Black Ops.
Now to the maps. Most of the maps are of a larger scale than past CODs. There are some many passages in and out of each side it is difficult to hold the "50 yard line" that we are accustom to in past games. We have seen this past week it is easier to hold a position be it a building or a spot on the map, we try to control a spawn point.
Now the spawn points are a touchy subject. They have been sporadic at best, spawning you in next to the enemy at times. It does seem they are trying to fix this problem wit the last few hot fixes and an update. It is a pain, but it in manageable with the right team.
All in all I believe COD Ghosts is a good game, but has room to improve also. Get the spawns fixed and that will be a great improvement. But, just remember these are the ramblings of a tired ol man and and only my views on the game.
