Call of Duty: Ghosts

Recommended Posts

From NeoGaf -

 

 

Next CoD info leaked?

 

 

* Call of Duty: Ghosts. Activision toyed with Call of Duty: Phantoms, but settled on Ghosts.

 

* Steering away from "Modern Warfare" to start its own thing, though is still kinda Modern Warfare 4.

 

* Set in the future, kind of like Black Ops, but with current generation weaponry. Some plot event forces people of that time period to use our generation weapons.

 

* Dynamic loading screens, as in the traditional loading countdown is replaced with some kind of animated sequence (rappel in from chopper, sneak in, etc).

Movement changes. Dash->slide+shooting. Corner peeking. Prone left/right roll.

 

* Spec Ops gone, replaced with new mode.

 

* Team aiming for more destructive environments. Working in single player, but team is having some issues with implementing it in multiplayer.

 

* Launching only on next generation consoles: NextBox, PlayStation 4, and PC.

 

* Reveal sometime around the start of May.

Not sure I believe it's next gen only though.

 

 

 

Just done a search myself on tesco direct website and it's there.

That title had better be literal and not a metaphor for something boring.

lol , I think we all know what it's gonna be! ;)

 

Surprised they didn't launch a more Ghost Recon/Stealth/Tech/Shadows series before... albeit this will be none of those and probably just COD with Ghost in the name! :indeed:

 

Geist this won't be! :p

I wish Nintendo would consider trying it again. Such a brilliant concept, but was extremely poorly executed.

Ahh.. Geist is one of those games I only picked up in the last few years and have never managed to really get into it :hmm:

 

I really should give that game another go..

Various outlets are disagreeing on consoles. Many (including Engadget & Eurogamer) include Wii U, we have the Wii U boxart which was the first that leaked, yet the press release doesn't list it.

 

The official site also has an upload for a Wii U boxart (http://www.callofduty.com/content/dam/atvi/callofduty/hub/ghosts/preorder/boxart/boxart_standard_wii.png), but has the 360 boxart uploaded to it

A Wii U version is all but assured. Activision just isn't giving out information on it yet...

Update: Here is the official response we received from an Activision representative.

 

We don’t have any news for the Wii U at this time, as we aren’t dating next generation platforms yet. Stay tuned.

 

Well at least one publisher considers the Wii U to be a next gen machine :)

I'll be interested to see what they do since I haven't played CoD since the first Modern Warfare 2.

A bit of animation now qualifies as a "dynamic loading screen"?

Zeitgeist it will be.

 

The original MW revolutionised the online shooter (and actually had a decent campaign), MW2 made it bat-shit crazy in both a good and slightly shitty way, and Blops nailed the formula. Now there's nowhere for that formula to go. MW3 was atrocious, haven't played Blops 2 but I imagine it's equally dire. The ludicrous amounts of customization options coupled with the irreparable imbalance in the maps has made it a thoroughly irritating experience.

ShopTo just posted this:

 

Due to contractual issues and delivery policy agreement with Activision, ShopTo have decided not to list Call of Duty: Ghosts for pre order as we do not feel that we can maintain our high standards of release date delivery (99% delivery on release date).

 

We will inform you if there are any changes to this in due course.

 

Interesting

I'd love for Activision to explain what is wrong with a few people getting the game a day early? I got Modern Warfare 2 four days early.

Interesting although I think it would be a bad move NOT to release it on the consoles we have now. You'd still have people who won't buy the next-gen consoles straight away such as myself. I can't see it solely being released for just next-gen, that would be shit!

 

I'm glad they haven't released "Modern Warfare 4" and started a new series instead. Modern Warfare started to get boring and 3 got boring pretty fast.

 

I'm still waiting for a time when COD will actually release a game where every single zombies map is on one disc, I'd buy that!

If they change everything about the past 5 games then it might be ok.

This was tottally missed by my radar. Did Activision not make a big fuss over the reveal of this like they had done previously?

Only found out it was revealed when I went into Xtra-Vision (think Irish version of Blockbusters) to see how much they were selling Life of Pi of bluray (they had no stock :heh:) and saw a poster saying they were taking pre-orders on for CoD:Ghosts... was a bit confused as I didn't even know it was announced yet :heh:

I'm getting pretty sick of call of duty games. Then again, I said the same thing when black ops 2 came out and I still bought it. I'm not gonna screw up this time!
