Playing this game feels like the time i accidentally bet DBZ in Saltybet.
@Combo_knight I should have heeded your words. I’ve been playing the last few hours non-stop. And this game never felt fun at all. Even while going positive. The feeling that there are a bunch of motherfuckers staring at you from over a few hundred feet away in every direction is incredibly annoying. They brought back the knife that we all wanted, and then multiplied the retardedness of it greatly. Thermal scopes. Thermal scopes everywhere. These maps put battlefield to shame in terms of scale. All in all this game just annoys the shit out of me.
Incog will protect you from thermal, use marathon+lightweight if the map size bothers you. Shouldn’t take very long to figure out where the popular spots on the maps are so you don’t feel too overwhelmed by the map size. The only map that bothers me now due to size is Siege. People have always bitched about CoD being the same every iteration, was this change too much or something?
Alright so I’m playing this game before work to give it another chance, and see if my opinion of it changes.
It didnt.
My initial observations:
>MSBS
>Thermal Scope
>Incog
>Sniper Rifles
>IED’s
If you use anything but those 5 items, you are retarded. Pretty much what every single lobby has taught me.
Don’t move from a corner. You are at a massive advantage camping, because while people run around trying to find the handful of people in these football stadium sized maps, they will just come to you. It’s like finding a needle in haystack, but if you wait long enough the needle will come to you. Movement is not rewarded unless you wear a maniac suit, so you can be the autistic knifing fuck you always wanted to be since COD4.
Change is fine. But to blatantly go miles away from what has worked so well is an idiotic move. This game is not Call of Duty. It’s something else and I dont enjoy playing it. Im not that guy who would say “It’s just another COD game” when a new one came out. I could see the differences and what they did better/worse and what they tried to change, but even then all the games felt right. Like they belonged in the series, for better or for worse. I dont get that with this game. As much as i hated the original Black Ops, it was still Call of Duty. As much as i despised MW3, it was still a COD game. Ghosts does not belong. Everything about this game just feels…off. When I would go positive in older games, it was fun and fast paced. It kept me wanting to play. Even in times when I died I would still be having fun because I might have a reaction of “Damn! That was a pretty good shot. I cant even be mad at that”. In this game it’s boring when I go to positive. 30 seconds or more between enemies, nobody is around to see my kills or any stupid shit I do, nobody is around for me to see their kills or any funny shit they do. Shit I was playing with 4 other people and I never really even felt like we were in the same game. No saving graces where they chucked a C4 over a wall to detonate it to save my ass or vice versa. Just a whole bunch of “Sorry bro i was on the other side of the map.”. It’s the same game whether you are solo or with friends, where as in the past playing with your friends is what made it fun. They need to fucking scrap the abortion of a development team that is the charred, broken, pathetic, disgustingly repulsive remains of Infinity Ward.
Ghosts: 0/10 Would not bang again. My dick retreats upwards in fear of being anywhere near this shit. I know I said it wasnt a big deal if I didnt like this game since I only payed $25, but Im mad I even spent that on it. Do you know how many bags of Flaming Hot Cheetos I could have bought with that $25?
If I could just have a game like black ops 2 with Sniping like Ghosts. I’d be happy.
Sniping is gorgeous in ghosts, and not ugly and stiff like black ops 2. Ghosts is organic.
Man I wish they would add some type of playlist with extra health to offset the kill speed.
I have fun with Tacknifing, and QSing but both make for a bad experience with the fast deaths…and the terrible spawn system.
Lol at being flagged for posting an opinion on literally the worst game in the series. Be a bitch if you like AkumaTX. But I agree with you Combo the sniping is pretty nice. It’s just really lame that it’s pretty much the only thing worth doing. I also skipped over the terrible spawns in my rage. I had an enemy dog spawn in front of me earlier, and insta-kill me. Best game is best
I really wanted that Comic skin for Balck ops 2 but they just threw away when CODBros predictably wanted tron Robot shit and Game of Thrones dragon skins.
But thanks for that retarded bacon skin, way to cash in on white people who have a family guy impression on deck at any given pre-lobby match.
There was only one skin i ended up using after buying about 4 packs. It was that red csmo eith i believe spent ammo shells on it. The patter on guns looked great! I mixed it with the jungle camo reticles as they were the most practical.
I won’t lie, i did like for novelty the bacon reticles. If only the pig one for red dot wasn’t so obstructive.
Well now that I’m out of work, had time to think about it, and I’m not a grumpy morning person anymore, I feel like I’m being a little too harsh on ghosts. Granted, I’m not back pedaling on any of the shit I said. I just jumped to conclusions a bit too fast. I’m gonna give the game a round 3 when I get home and see if anything clicks.
Also, speaking of camo DLC, I already miss the kitten face crosshair for the red dot that came with the kawaii pack.
The only pack I wanted was the one that glowed in the dark, but I forgot what it was called. When my game glitched, and my stats and weapons weren’t the same I wasn’t giving treyarch anymore money.
