Call Of Duty: Ghosts

Call Of Duty: Ghosts

Call Of Duty: Ghosts is a first person shooter game created by Infinity Ward in 2013. It is the tenth installment of Call Of Duty and the sixth developed by Infinity Ward, with it being Call Of Duty is is once again a popular success and is known as one of the best in the series.

Released on Microsoft Windows, Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and the Wii U in Europe on November 5th 2013, and then released on Next Gen on the Playstation 4 on November 29th 2013 and on the Xbox one on November 22nd 2013. This game received positive reviews from the critics, with the majority of people saying that the multiplayer is the strongest aspect of the game. IGN praised the game saying that it breathed new life into the multiplayer aspect, Video Gamer praised it saying that it seems more fun than Black Ops 2. Its sales empathies' its success by shipping $1billion worth of units worldwide.


 

The campaign of Call Of Duty: Ghosts is told through the eyes of Logan Walker, you are able to play as several different characters throughout the game but is mainly as Logan. The game with you and several other family members sat in the desert land or city. Soon a earthquake begins, and you are immediately took up to space about 20 minutes before hand of the earthquake, where you are controlling a astronaut who is on project Odin. Odin fires on Phoenix where Logan is situated and the whole story takes off from there.  

The Multiplayer is the biggest aspect of this game, as is through most of the Call Of Duty games. Maps now have areas that can be destroyed, you can now call on Odin strikes to neutralize your enemies. On October 3rd, a new multiplayer type was revealed called squads. This allows a squad that you can build and face other squads around the world with. Your squad can also be leveled up allowing that RPG element into the game. But for me Call Of Duty should be about the story and that's what I fell in love with.

The fun factor in this game is great with your accurate level of violence, with not too much gore that people can't handle. The campaign is action packed as always, but my only concern is that they are focusing way too much on the Multiplayer nowadays, even though the graphics to look great on next gen consoles by the way.

 

Overall the game is great and smooth to play, but with the game focusing on the multiplayer element, Call Of Duty does lose that spark for me, and is the main reason why I stopped my interest in this game. Just think of the old days of the Call Of Duty 2: The Big Red One, then you will realise what you are now missing.
