Call of Duty: Ghosts also has a lean function, but unlike its implementation in Battlefield 4, which clearly shows player characters as they reveal themselves from cover to lean out and take a shot, Ghosts’ lean function does not appear to have a leaning animation and players leaning from cover remain invisible to their opponents.

Call of Duty: Ghosts is another prodigious entry into the immensely-popular first-person shooter franchise. It features several great new multiplayer modes, including the football-esque Blitz and fast-paced Grind, plus numerous impressive tweaks and additions. Extinction, a mode that wasn’t even announced until days before release, alone could easily eat up tens of hours of time as players quest to save the world from aliens. The single player is disposable, albeit fun, but it’s irrelevant as there’s enough content in multiplayer to keep gamers busy for hundreds of hours until the next Call of Duty comes out. After a great entry from Treyarch, Infinity Ward has cemented the brand as the go-to online shooter with Call of Duty: Ghosts, one of the most satisfying experiences of the series.

Simply put, Call of Duty: Ghosts is a game that pushes the franchise forward, especially in the multiplayer department. That giant leap we saw when the original Modern Warfare game touched down is not quite there, but yet in a time when the development team had to stick handle a game what would be a released on 5 different consoles (Wii U, PS3, PS4, Xbox One and Xbox 360), Ghosts is an impressive feat. The single player campaign is a wild ride despite its underwhelming storyline and short play through while the multiplayer aspects of the game take the cake and raise the franchise to even higher heights. It’s jam packed with all sorts of new content from an engaging squads mode, a hectic Extinction mode and a new slate of multiplayer features to keep the core Call of Duty gamers playing for hours on end. Call of Duty Ghosts isn’t the best Call of Duty game of the series but the multiplayer alone is worth the price of admission.

Overall, Call of Duty: Ghosts provides you with a lot of gameplay for your money, as long as you are buying it primarily for multiplayer play. While the single player campaign does have some exciting missions, overall it’s too easy and the story is simply a mess. As always for a Call of Duty game, Ghosts multiplayer really delivers, providing plenty of fast, smooth, and challenging online competition. The new multiplayer match types are enjoyable, and it will be interesting to see how the Squads feature plays out a few months down the road. If you’ve always enjoyed Call of Duty multiplayer gameplay, or are curious to see what all the hype is about, there’s no reason to skip this iteration of the long-running franchise.

As in most Call of Duty games, the story creates excuses for this military travelogue. A level in Las Vegas is well done, and it’s doubly difficult as you have to protect your dog while fighting. And I love the scene in Venezuela where you are rappelling down the side of a building and looking in the windows, searching for prey. Just as quickly, you get into the building and have to hide in a server room as guards walk by, and then you become the hunted.

Call of Duty is, and has always been, a series about instant gratification. It’s fast food gaming at its most refined, a continual adrenaline rush that never thinks beyond the next kill. Ghosts maintains that heady, intoxicating momentum of shoot, kill, win, reward – but pales at the thought of taking the franchise in any interesting new directions.

Another reliably robust Call of Duty entry, Ghosts has a wilfully daft and overblown campaign that is nonetheless entertaining, disposable popcorn while it lasts, and a hefty multiplayer that’s still among the best money can buy. Rather than reinventing the wheel, CoD: Ghosts hones and refines what’s gone before, but is ultimately Modern Warfare 4 in all but name. Whether you consider that a bad or good thing is probably down to how weary you’ve grown of the series, although Call of Duty: Ghosts does just about enough to pique our interest once more.

Call of Duty: Ghosts is not the next-gen game that people might have hoped for, sure it looks prettier on the PS4 but it is not a game changer, and even on this new console we experienced some slow down and frame rate issues. Not that reviews matter particularly, with the excessive marketing available people will still buy it. And the strangest thing is that they probably should. For a certain type of gamer Call of Duty is always an essential purchase and having access to the latest round of multiplayer provides hundreds of hours of entertainment. Ultimately the institution of Call of Duty will not collapse with this release, it will barely be dented, but unless there is real progress away from its lacklustre approach to single-player, real change in the way it tries to draw in new players or bleed us dry with DLC, as we move onto the next generation we may well have already passed the series’ heyday.

It’s a functional system, but it’s a step down from the simplicity of Pick 10, which made character creation more digestible and enjoyable. This new system doesn’t have any obvious upsides, and I can see it overwhelming newcomers.

Ghosts offers the same style of video game combat that Call of Duty has had since 2007. The core of it is still engaging and can be very thrilling, if you’re receptive to this type of action. In fact, it’s still my favorite online multiplayer shooter. But the bells and whistles surrounding the game are muted and missing, leaving behind that same core without giving you enough new and exciting reasons to come back. Even with the improved graphics to be had on next-generation consoles, I’d rather play Black Ops II.

Contrary to the old saying, you can teach an old dog new tricks. Black Ops II demonstrated that with style. Ghosts, however, is a dog that simply doesn’t want to change. It knows what it is, and sticks with it. It would be a respectable endeavor, if it didn’t lead to such an underwhelming and predictable little product. What a sleepy, sleepy dog.
