WC - Now that we’ve finally seen the first teaser trailer for Activision’s newest Call of Duty title – Ghosts – we can probably start to get excited about it and start discussing and predicting some of the features we want to see. Call of Duty is a super, gaming juggernaut and its success is truly amazing – I tip my hat to the men and women involved in making the series the most successful of its kind.

COD has a long and storied career. Launching as a PC WW2 first-person shooter, Call of Duty has gone through numerous makeovers and been on just about every system. The series has gone through some serious highs and tragic lows. I’ll be looking at each Call of Duty game, the good the bad, and the ugly."
Vanguard better be at the fkn bottom. Can’t believe ppl haven’t eviscerated that game with all its lacking
Same for me.
I was never huge into Call of Duty, but I sunk a lot of time into WaW.
Both the campaign and the multiplayer are on point. Wouldn't mind a remaster.
I quit on CoD for a long while. Though I'm the odd man out that actually really enjoyed the campaign for WWII, being I got it through Humble monthly way back when.
I agree, The Infinite campaign feels more like it's own thing that they slapped the CoD name on. If it stood on it's own, (sans the CoD name) I think it could have been it's own scifi franchise. And a damn good looking game, to boot. I never bothered to play the multiplayer.
That was one I grabbed for Playstation because it pretty much just came out during the Redbox purge of videogames, and I got it for dirt cheap.
It was great coming home to an update every night, and watching one game eat up almost half my console's memory.
Will get disagrees but Infinite Warfare campaign was really good. Decent story, set pieces were amazing and if it didn't have the CoD game on it I'm sure people would have been more into it. Advanced Warfare was alright too. Titanfall 2 was just 1000 times better than both but I enjoyed them for their campaigns. I literally barely gaf about the story I'm in it for the set pieces and 5 hours of being stoned watching cool nonsense happen if I'm in the mood to play a CoD campaign. If I'm looking for a deep plot I'm gonna go somewhere else.
Ghosts was the worst story-wise though lol that cliffhanger ending was so bs.
Also MW 2019 was sick and is one of the best CoD games in yeeeears not sure why it's so low on this dude's list. Campaign was great, multiplayer was great and Warzone was fun for a while. Over it now but shrugs.
Beat the Vanguard campaign too but I can't even remember a single thing about it other than that it felt like it was 45 minutes long. Might be the most forgettable thing I've ever played lol just fully erased from my brain
Call of Duty multiplayer ranked from worst to best! 2019 is coming to a close and MP1st ranks the best COD multiplayer games this decade.

Wore implementation I've ever seen,.. guess it just does not work all that great on every engine
Agree, but this gives me hope that one day Ray Tracing can be a software based feature and not require some type of proprietary hardware to achieve. Software will always outpace Hardware so it could happen, but I feel like its going to take a lot more time to achieve the same level that RTX has already shown glimpses of so far. Really just waiting for Cyberpunk to see if RTX is actually something viable. I think if anybody can truly showcase RTX Features it would be Projekt Red.
Reshade is not raytracing, its a screen space post processing effect. Thats like calling SSAO "global illumination"
For me all what COD needs:
-Better graphics
-Better physics
-Balanced and improved Online experience(I mean bring the dedicated servers already!!)
-Less glitches(There is no perfect game so at least maintain the quality).
Anyway, its not too long until we see it in action on May 21st ( Xbox Reveal xD ).
I pick up one every couple of years and have a blast playing with my mates. I'm not one to bash the IP but I think it's reaching a crossroads here. It can either carry on doing what it knows, which is generally a good formula but risk another game coming along, just as CoD4 did and reinvent the genre and people largely abandon it for the new game.. or, they try a new approach and risk alienating a percentage of 20 million players.
People on here always moan about how it needs a better engine and whilst I would not disagree.. it's not as simple as that. A new engine might well mean different mechanics, physics etc. and it's a tough choice for the publisher/developer to make when they have so much to lose. I am very interested and curious to see which direction they'll take.
I agree with most of the things on the list that IW could definately improve or add to the series it needs some change. I enjoy CoD every once in awhile it can be a fun arcadey FPS I'm not a huge fan but I do enjoy CoD especially Treyarchs Zombie mode a ton of fun with a good group. I don't think they should bother with a campaign but it seems that it will have one I assume it will be similar to BO1 and 2 with all the brainwashing ghost went through. IW needs to change things up add some new multiplayer modes or have something similar to zombies that people go crazy for.
i agreed with the author about all his points really.....more importantly the balance part of the game just has to be fair and reasonable...the knifing and sniping issues i have had with MW games makes me hurl my controller in disgust a lot over the years.
and the killstreaks are becoming way too over powerin....take a look at BO2 the killstreaks are just automated an over powering if u dont have on the perk that makes u invisible to auto pilot killsteaks your in for a wolrd of hurt, it almost becomes needed if u want to blend in and be useful in BO2..
but for me this is the first times i have bought a Treyarch game with black ops 2 cause i prefer IW games more(so i usually get a COD game every 2 years) and i am sorry i did so cause the game is just not fun to me and i dont like the audio...dont get me wrong my K/D is above average but i just play the game out of online necessity to play with friends over doing so for fun like i did MW2
so am really hoping to see a balance multilayer over all else in GHOST over shiny new graphics and physics
Well, they did say they're going to be using a new engine because of the upcoming new consoles, but really...what about the current gen consoles? Will the versions end up looking like trash on current gen and only look good on the next gen ports?
I think what CoD does better than any other game franchise out there is gas out their engine. Even though the franchise's games are made on older engines, they really set the bar on set pieces and jaw dropping moments. They use their engine to the fullest to make a "roller-coaster experience" by sacrificing graphics.
