Why does COD: Ghosts campaign is considered the worst of all COD campaigns?

Why does COD: Ghosts campaign is considered the worst of all COD campaigns?

One ranking says so (the worst out of COD games)
And another ranking puts it only one place above COD 3.

I personally didnt mind it too much definitely not the best but certainly not the worst. The common complaints people tell me usually and i agree. 1 they reused a few scenes from previous CoD games like the intro is exactly like the end of MW2. 2 the game that came before it was Black Ops 2 which had custom loadouts for missions and multiple choices that players could make to effect the ending. So the next year you'd think they'd do that with Ghosts but didnt (yes ik its not the same developers but Id like to think they keep in contact so there couldve been talks about these options hell they havent done anything like it since Blops 2 so depends on how you want to look at it) 3 The ending. It wouldve been an above average expierence IF they made the ending not force another sequel which we never got. Roarke (or however its spelled) was shot point blank yet survives? makes no sense especially considering he was in the train, underwater, and unconsious. Howd he get out with no one seeing him? Let alone get out in time? How did no one hear him come up behind you until its too late? I like Ghosts. I still play it for Squads and Extinction. However i hope this answers your question on why people dont think the campaign is good I enjoy stupid fun so i had a good time but its writing is average at best and it doesnt really have much replay value. The writing has definitely improved in Infinite Warfares Campaign and hopefully Modern Warfare (Reimagined) will be good when that comes out in the next month. Hope this answers your question and sorry for the rambling. Thank you have a good day. PS I agree with the ranking for CoD 3 Id have to say Advanced Warfare and that game are tied for the worst CoD game.

Thanks a lot.

Well, I have only played through 2 CoD campaigns, those being Modern Warfare and Black Ops, and those two are considered the best two campaigns by the rankings, exactly in that order, so I was afraid this one would be off the standard.

But apparently, I've only started the campaign, played through the earthquake and then the shooting on the space station, and I kinda find it cool, surprising and, importantly, interesting.

So, maybe people just did not find this campaign overall emotionally appealing, but from what I have seen by now it's a definitely well made game.

Ok, so right now I’m padt the level in the end of which you let Roarke fall into the stream.
The story is awesome, the gameplay is much better than in two other games I completed recently (Homefront and Spec Ops: The Line), both of which are approximately of the same year of release as Ghosts. The graphics are also more than decent.

I don’t remember very well the Modern Warfare campaign, Chernobyl aside, but I remember quite a few scenes from Black Ops, and I should say, by now Ghosts is definitely not a disappointing campaign compared to Black Ops.

#1 iw
sad story where unlike the other cod games, everybody dies and it shows that not everybody comes back from war

#2 mw3
perfect ending for the series, wrapped up all lose ends

#3 world at war
best ww2 story in cod, very impactful parts (like killing german soldiers that are surrendering), very powerful story

Ok, so I'm right in the middle of the game, just completed the Operation Clockwork, and I should say - I love the game.
The story and scenes and gameplay, all filled with a multitude of noteworthy details, objects, actions. I really can not believe this COD title was considered the worst or as the second worst by the vast majority of rankings.

Ok. Finished the campaign. It's great!
End of story.

Also, despite I do not remember much of the COD: Modern Warfare campaign, I remember that I was bored at least by some parts of it.
And in Ghosts all not-so-good bits of level design were quite short, so I don't remember being stuck on them.

Sometimes I hate user reviews on metacritic.
One guy, for instance, gave the game 3/10 mostly because the devs removes weapon upgrades from thr MP; and another one told that he actually likes the game yet gave it 0/10 because he felt like some levels were copied from Black Ops 2. No wonder the game with such a thrilling campaign got under 3/10 in User reviews.

Now, speaking of Critics reviews: PC version got 68/100, while console versions got over 70. So it could be partially due to being a bad PC port.
I should mention that the game was released soon after the launch of PS4 and XBox One, which meant that the game was released also on PS3 and X360, which means 5 ports in total. So, all things being equal, we should actually give some sense of credibility to the developers and agine the crunch they’ve endured, and don’t forget that Treyarch’s team were assisting as the cridits of the game mentions.
So, yeah...

BTW, little bit off-topic, but would you tell me, which COD game is currently played the most in MP.
I am asking because I would assume it’s the MW Remastered, but apparently users seem to hate it (check the steam reviews), and tell that the servers are empty.

That is hard to tell. My guess is CoD 4 and WaW because it has full dedicated servers.

So, still MW? Too bad I lost my original retail DVD with it,

Have you tried World at War? A sorta prequel to Black Ops but it really gets into the brutality of war and is a very immersive game with really good voice acting. If you havent already played it I'd highly recommend it. If you want to go through with it with a buddy there's also Co-Op and I always play it so if you haven't and like to with someone send me a message then comrade otherwise you should give Extinction mode a playthrough really fun and NEEDS to make a return.

I always like coop buddies, but please tell me first, does the coop mode allow to experience the whole story?
Or is it cut, compared to SP campaign?

That is bad. Sorry for your loss. You can still pick the game up for cheap if you want

Sure I can, I don’t even have a DVD drive now.
I just could keep it for nostalgia:)
I still use the same Razer Death Adder mouse I bought 11 years ago in order to play CoD 4: MW with it.
