Call Of Duty Ghosts is linear with Easter Egg sub missions (sort of) explained by Mark Rubin

OPM: Infinity Ward’s Mark Rubin has explained Call Of Duty: Ghosts’ take on the branching paths introduced in Treyarch’s Black Ops 2. That system previously let you make defined gameplay choices at specific points. Rubin says Ghosts won’t use the same system and instead promises something ‘Easter egg-ish”.

So, basically it has like Intel documents scattered around the levels, but basically they are linear? Just say it, don't dance around it.

Seems like BF4 might be the ticket. I'm sure this will appeal to the CoD fans that choose to move on to the X1 or PS4.

Different strokes for different folks.

Bf4 might be the ticket dude its the biggest ticket.

In spite of taking the time to comment here....Why don't I care about this game???

....Ghosts feels extremely long in the tooth.

bjmartynhak3969d ago

This is not bad IMO. Actually, I prefer linear games. Non-linear gameplay in a linear story is something else. If it has different endings, even better.

MGS4, Last of Us, Heavy Rain, Bioshock...

sway_z3969d ago (Edited 3969d ago )

May I recommend 'Pacman'?

...if you prefer linear, this game will (A)MAZE you :/

SirKilla3967d ago (Edited 3967d ago )

I recommend space invaders. It has all the things cod is missing.
HIT DETECTION!
Don't want to talk about the elephant in the room!
Why doesn't there games have hit detection.
Cod is a snake oil salesman!

Fix hit detection and you get a fun product that works!
Don't worry BF... They are way to greedy to fork out for Designated servers!

rustyspoon803969d ago

Why is it when Treyarch introduce something great into the series IW dont improve on it. We had zombies, interactive MP maps, dive to prone, branching story missions, Strike Force missions.

The best thing IW could do would be to release a HD version of COD 4.

DecoyOctopus3969d ago

Ghosts has slide to prone and interactive maps. But i agree that there isnt much innovation at all for this franchise. The same engine just upgraded using the same old assets. The only thing new in cod every year is new guns or new gun models.

trenso13969d ago

honestly treyarch might bring some stuff into the game but they fuck up on the little things, like the 7 ways to enter one room or the having to be moving to be off radar, the fact that the wild cards take up a slot in the create a class dispite it being a wild card and really shouldn't, they split up cold blood from mw2 into 3 different perks in 2 tiers wtf? Its things like this is why i dont buy COD and just play it through game share if the opportunity arises

SirKilla3967d ago

Zombies are for kids!
HD will just generate more lag!
Campaign is crap.

XDefiant dev promises fix to frustrating hit reg issues, though players remain skeptical

Mark Rubin, XDefiant’s executive producer, responded to an X/Twitter post that fixes to hit reg “are something [they] are working on.” Unfortunately, it’s unclear when it will arrive, as neither Rubin nor the development team have yet to provide an actual time frame.

just_looken4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

Ha man what is this the 8th time they are working on this issue?

SO the game is using division one maps/assets with some divison 2 thrown in with that we can say they never really made the maps so what have they been doing for there 6 to perhaps 8 years of dev time? must be alot of hookers/blow/parties.

It's astounding how much money they blow and this is the results. Gaming development is out of control.

just_looken3d ago

Right even when ubisoft cancelled division heartland as a beta player that game was a far better state then they push with this trash of a game that is still in a beta state after 3 years of delay's.

we are so starved of any decent fps/3rd person shooters out there it seems we will take anything even though some ps2 fps games were more fun then this game in my old opinion.

FPS_D3TH3d ago

Skeptical because it was an issue with ALL the betas and still hasn’t been fixed

just_looken3d ago

Its like they are using division one servers but they caught fire then were put together with barry/carols help from the janitors wing or some shit. Three years they still can not make it so the gun goes boom the guy gets hit then damage is applied.

An Update on the Release of XDefiant from Mark Rubin

An update on the release of XDefiant from Mark Rubin!

GoodGuy09261d ago

Been real hungry for a more simple multiplayer fps for a long time. I really dislike all the hero shooters we keep getting. I'll definitely give this a shot and if it ends up crap then it ends up crap.

OMGitzThatGuy260d ago

How broken is the game when Sony and MS failed certification? And they still think it may fail and planning on a day 1 patch, somebody was slacking.

Nitrowolf2260d ago (Edited 260d ago )

He literally came out to clarify that this is very standard of a process for a game to be denied the first cert. They're just giving a update to the people waiting and explaining what's going on

Dazelya260d ago

They were too late to do this. Also, the beta versions of the game were absolutely a disaster, if they are like this at launch, they will destroy themselves without the need for CoD anyway. Besides, it is an extremely negative thing that the game was rejected by Sony or MS or both during quality control, and that is why they waited so long to announce it. Moreover, there is still a chance of being rejected again.

What I wonder is, at what point did people love Mark so much? Many years ago, when Mark was working in CoD teams, people were swearing at him. Now, it really surprises me that Mark has his defenders. People either forget things very easily, or younger generations are not very aware of Mark's past...

boing1260d ago

Well, yeah but not really. The problem is you set certification for a specific date, and then you have to deliver something mostly working to get a cert. However, often times first cert is set too soon, because you start doing it before the game is actually ready, so the process is mostly used to see how much effort it would still require to deliver something passable on second cert, because you get a nice report after the first one. It's absolutely possible to deliver on first cert. You do not deliver if you're way behind with development.

PapaBop259d ago

Very standard? I can't think of a time where I've read a story of a major publisher failing the certification process and having to delay the game as a result.

PunksOnN4G260d ago

TBH the last beta the shooting and aiming was bad on console it was really bad

Killa78260d ago

The game has pretty bad issues in the open beta. It's a shame because a f2p proper fps is needed at the moment.

Muigi260d ago

This is why people still buy Cod

Most expect it to be shut down a year after release. Defy that.
