Call of Duty: Ghosts

[imported_bman]

I don't hate Call of Duty, I just don't enjoy playing it and I laugh at the children and bros who think they're a top FPS player because they're decent at console Call of Duty. It's plebian gaming at best, appeal to the lowest common denominator and sell the shit out of it. McDonalds and Anhueiser Busch do the same thing. It works, and more power to them. If people are stupid enough to shell out between $60-$100 yearly to play, they deserve every penny they get.

You should pat yourself a little harder on the back for being a genius member of the patrician class. You might find this interesting http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning–Kruger_effect.

I don't know what any of that shit means, but I'll let it slide because you're an import.

It means that most people who talk up their ability to discern are usually full of shit or vastly overestimate that ability.

Please point me to where I said I'm an excellent FPS player.

I was not implying anything about your FPS skills. I was implying that perhaps your generalizations about the type of people who play COD, generalizations of why people play COD, and evaluation of the series are formed from an illusory superiority. Do not wish to derail this thread any further. Though if you want to believe that the majority of COD players are slack jawed morons, who am I to argue with you.

Multiplayer reveal was earlier today...

Looks just as bad as the others but with a dog and better graphics. I would buy it but that massive price tag that never goes down stops me doing that.

for being next gen, the graphics are very underwhelming.

I thought you were joking, then I watched it in 1080p. HOLY CRAP that HAS to be the 360/PS3 version. There's no way they could sell that garbage on Xbox One. It looks like utter crap.

Is head glitching finally dead? It looks like they have decent bullet penetration shots, and some environmental changes like stuff falling down.
The C4 sticking to the sign and killing the guy above it makes me grin.

The one thing that dragged the whole CoD MP franchise was the abuse of any cover system.

Prestige edition will come with an action camera... No more NV goggles I guess. =(

It looked like the 360 version in the video.

I wonder if they're intentionally making the 360 version look terrible to help sell XB1s? Surely the XB1 version will look spectacular next to that mess. It honestly looked worse than previous 360 COD entries to me.

 

[Bman123]

yeah it looked pretty bad, I just watched it again

Well we have remember that they are making it for multiple systems at one time, so I'm sure they didn't have tons of time to dedicate to optimizing it for the new systems coming out. Also, it's still the same ol' engine that they've been using for what, 7 or 8 years now so we can't expect great graphics.

Some MLG players got a first look ~3 min. timeframe is gameplay...

Which sucks because the COD4 engine was pretty good for the time (at least for consoles). You'd think they'd plead to get Carmack to again help them make a new one.

gonna be the lowest scoring COD in a long time watch

gonna get like a 70/100 average

You must not remember the early 360 games. The "jump" to next-gen was barely a drunken stumble at first, especially with cross platform games they made with the last gen.

 

[RedRooster]

I thought there were supposed to be vehicles in this version, like a small amount(one jeep and tank)? Or am I dreaming?
At one point, I was considering the fact that I'd have to decide between CoD and BF4.

I remember the fuss people made over MGS3 looking better then Oblivion on the Xbox 360 and touting the PS2 as superior in graphic performance.

Most launch titles on the 360 were barely above, if any at all, the previous generation. The Need for Speed game looked good enough at the time, and on PC supported a maximum resolution of like 1024×576 or something incredibly awful for 2005 on PC. It looked fine on my SD TV though.

 

[Aikouka]

I saw an article on IGN today where they said that the PC version should look the best because they're actually giving it access to higher quality assets (i.e. textures) than even the next-gen consoles are getting. Of course, you'll probably need a decent PC to do that anyway.

So, that leads me to believe that the next-gen consoles should probably look decent enough as they seemed to suggest that they'll still look a lot better.

In the MP or SP? There was already tank stuff in the SP of CoD2

In the MP. Maybe that was just really early after they announced the game and people were suggesting it might have. My confusion.
