Was cod ghosts a good cod?

[Uncanny Moskvich]

Should there be a sequel? What do you think? Personally, the spawn traps were pretty bad and they left a bad taste in my mouth. I think Ghosts deserves a second chance.

CoD is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ game series to begin with. The gunplay got the barest minimum of involvement to invoke the illusion of, you know, actually doing something while still being shockingly shallow and the campaign is so linear, you can't even proceed if you deviate from the main path a few meters to the side. The presentation, which can salvage campaigns no matter how pointless the gameplay (Cloudpunk comes to mind) ain't too good great either, the parts which could evoke any interest drown in crapshitton of pathos & scripting so narrow, the challenge becomes to find out what the game wants you to do, not to find a solution to a given situation within the game's ruleset. Which it frequently breaks itself, let's say, when I die from a single sniper hit after having swallowed what must be a ton of lead & copper without any issues.

Well, yeah, sure, there's the competative multiplayer part but it suffers from primitive gunplay as well. That, then there's the maps giving you a few lanes between you & the enemy, funneling combat into a few key locations. Unlocking stuff in a competative MP game is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, by the way. It doesn't even reward you for doing good! Well, yeah, a tiny bit it does but the bulk of unlocks stems from just playing it.

Ain't got too much positive to say about the cooperative multiplayer mode either. Well, yeah, it's not bad and maps open up greatly but when it comes to cooperative zombie shooting, there's better games.

If you like cod games, then you like them all basically.

There are better games than cod games, but it just personal opinion really.

Once upon a time, there were two developers, Dice and Infinity Ward.

Back between it's airing in 1998 and the year 2002, someone at Dice saw Saving Private Ryan, and the subsequent renewed popular interest in WW2 and decided to make a game called Battlefield 1942, which released in 2002.

Someone at Infinity Ward either had a similar idea, or heard about the project at some point, and agreed that people like WW2 now, so they wanted to make a WW2 game too. This game was the more linear story driven Call of Duty, and released in 2003.

The sad truth is that while cod often tried to be BF, and sometimes BF tried to be cod, one was almost always a linear arcade shooter, and the other was mostly a more open team based game.

Both series had their ups and downs, bit eventually the hype died out and mistakes were made and now here we are in 2022 and both games are largely considered to be triple A trash.

Which is sad, because I liked bf up until after 2142 or 3/4 and I loved COD united offensive and Modern Warfare 1 and 2. But all good things...

COD Ghosts was the beginning of the end of the franchise in the last gen. It was also the first independent title from the personnel that was left from the depleted Infinity Ward studio. The game was just so uninspired and a miserable follow-on from Black Ops 2. There were people with new PS4's and XB1's going back to their old consoles to play that rather than playing the new Ghosts.

Can't see there ever being a sequel because it's such an outdated and tainted part of the series.

Medal of Honor released in 1999.
Why is this important? Because it was created with Steven Spielberg and development lead by West and Zapella, who creaated the CoD series after leaving EA.

It's not like WW2 games were a rarity either.
