friend to all who find me as a random encounter
ive started a veteran run of COD Ghosts. there are many, many, many reasons why Ghosts is a miserable game: jingoist US martyrdom, xenophobia up the arse, boring undeveloped story and a visual brown pot of shit. if you're looking to stick it to the series on its more infamous aspects, this is the one to hang, trust me.
the funny part is, this here's the point where you'd expect me to do the "oh well it still has the COD fundamentals" shtick but... no, not even that. whereas its predecessor BO2 actually threatened to evolve the series; multiple story branches, new gameplay modes etc, Ghosts shuts that down entirely with severely average gunplay. we're back to the rudimentary basics of the very first MW except, hell, not even that.
Ghosts suffers from a lack of enemy variety.
i want to say that again.
Ghosts, A CALL OF DUTY GAME, suffers from a lack of enemy variety.
snipers? nope. juggernauts? nope. any possible way to notice what gun's being shot at you? nope. we have somehow regressed to the point where it's just Dude With Assault Rifle from start to finish, maybe a helicopter once or twice. i don't know how you manage that, the first fucking COD had a bolt-action tossed at you a few times, how do you get this bland?
i'll never understand the idea behind this entry. what they were going for, what this brings to the series. there's nothing here outside of a dog gimmick for marketing, it's like nobody was at or wanted to be near the wheel and i'm shocked COD didn't die on the spot.
i don't know what's funnier: getting an achievement for performing the most basic task an FPS could possibly ask of you, or that 19% of players booted up the campaign and didn't even make it to the one minute mark.

they're an FPS/RTS flying magic-slinging shooter hybrid series (on magic carpets!) from the mid-90s and to this day, no other game's even touched how unique they are. i will champion them 'till the day i die.
