Wow! Call of Duty Ghosts and Next-Gen in the same sentence? Nothing in the new COD is next gen. Riley the dog?! Super advanced fish AI?! PC version still doesn't have dedicated servers and it's 2013. Xbox One version is 720p and full of jaggies. Ya, a real next gen title there. Stopped reading after that.

Bigpappy4201d ago

How is the PS4 version? I think that is 1080p and I think it has dedicated servers. I am quite sure the X1 version has dedicated servers too. Just wondered if the PS4 version fared any better other than the higher resolution.

Agent-864201d ago (Edited 4201d ago )

PS4 version is 1080p native while Xbox One is 720p native upscaled to 1080p which contributes to jaggies and a more blurred picture (compared to PS4/PC). However, I believe I read that the Xbox One version was the only one with dedicated servers. I think the article stated that the PS4/PC versions both use the completely outdated host system. There is a server, but it only picks the best ping as host. Activision stated that next gen versions would be getting dedicated servers, but, SURPRISE, they lied. As primarily a PC gamer, I stopped playing COD games years ago...they are junk on PC and there are just better games than the same crap every year.

Bigpappy4201d ago

Looks like there are trade offs in all the versions. so none is ultimately better. I haven't played the series since it became more online focused and modernized. Doesn't look like Battle Field fared much better either, but they are still doing well.

Thanks you for the input.

The Xbox 360 version is 880 x 720 upscaled to 1080p. The X1 version is 1220 x 720 upscaled to 1080p. While the PS4 is native 1080p it has dedicated servers mixed with p2p and the X1 is 100% dedicated servers. I rather play with 100% dedicated servers any day. I have no patience for lag, host advantages, "excessive" modding/cheating, or somebody with slow internet dragging and slowing down my internet. With total dedicated servers the players start equally and must show some skills.

"I rather play with 100% dedicated servers any day." This is very true, but I'd still rather be playing a different game. Can't believe the PC version still doesn't have dedicated servers. I think COD4 was the last one. Why people buy this junk for PC is beyond me.

*Why people buy this junk for PC is beyond me.

Simple in any other game they would get wrecked hell my 7 year old nephew can kick arse in this sharty series.

All Call of Duty Games Ranked from Worst to Best

BLG writes: "Call of Duty has to be the most recognizable franchise on the planet. They didn’t get that way by only making a handful of games.

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

Minimoth1204d ago

Yeah, it's close to the bottom. There are a couple of worse ones. Infinite Warfare definitely deserves its place.

KyRo1204d ago

There's a number a lot worse than Vangaurd. It's also a lot better than that car crash Treyarch released before it.

XbladeTeddy1204d ago

World at War is my favourite. Didn't know the N-Gage had a Call of Duty.

MadLad1204d ago

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.

TheLigX1204d ago

I really enjoyed the Infinite campaign. Multiplayer... not so much.

Yppupdam1204d ago

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.

victorMaje1204d ago

MW 2019 apart from the desastrous file sizes is way better than AW.

MadLad1204d ago

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.

Amplitude1204d ago (Edited 1204d ago )

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

Wore implementation I've ever seen,.. guess it just does not work all that great on every engine

MarkyMark892166d ago (Edited 2166d ago )

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.

zeal0us2166d ago

Too bad it doesn't make Mankind Divided a better game.

starchild2166d ago

It doesn't need to, the game was already fantastic, imo.

zeal0us2165d ago

Human Revolution was a better game and not to mention longer.

isarai2166d ago

Reshade is not raytracing, its a screen space post processing effect. Thats like calling SSAO "global illumination"
