Great game
I found the campaign mode storyline intriguing and interesting. Storyline kept my attention beginning to end. Action was intense, made gameplay fun. Another great game in the Cod series.

Best Campaign in Series
Call of Duty Ghosts is a fun and challenging game. With an intriguing story and an all-new extinction and squads mode, this game is an excellent play. The multiplayer may have a new create-a-soldier option, but it still feels very black and white. The graphics are nearly identical to Black Ops II, and the over all experience feels like a flashback to previous games in the series. Overall, the only thing that stands out to me is the campaign. It is suprisingly long and difficult, with no level similar to the previous. Overall, it is a great play and a winner for any Call of Duty fan.

Another COD
First of all, I love playing COD games, it's almost the only game I play nowadays. That being said here's what I see as the "bad" about this game: First, the latency issues get really old in multiplayer, and whenever I'm selected as host, it's like I don't even have a chance against the opponents. I intentionally slowed my upload speed on MW3 because of this same issue, so I wouldnt get chosen as host as often. I really wish they could resolve the latency and hosting issues in one of these new game releases. I realize it will never be perfect since it's a game played over the internet, but there has to be a way to improve upon the current setup. Secondly, Call of Duy in general needs to move away from leading players through campaigns and handicapping things in multiplayer, and the use of aim assist all together, so people that are terrible can play at an "equal" level. Video games, like all other games, sports, etc, are supposed to be challenging, and half the fun of multiplayer is competition. The fun of a campaign is making it challenging, so you have to figure things out, and strategize to complete a tough mission. Lastly, the spawns can get pretty bad on this game, but that's nothing new really either. I think they try to make changes to the spawning system and sometimes it makes it even worse. Here are the things I see as good about this game: First, there's a good selection of maps for multiplayer with the initial relase, and the dynamic aspect makes them slightly more interesting than previous COD games. I always enjoyed how Treyarch included small dynamic features in their multiplayer maps, so it's nice to see from Infinity Ward this time around. I'm hopeful that the DLC content this year is great as well. Secondly, I like that they tried to add some new game modes. I think of the new modes, Search and Rescue is my favorite, as it gives you a bit more of a chance than Search and Destroy does, and introduces another strategic aspect to the game. I also like Cranked, as that keeps people moving a little bit, and doesn't allow for as much camping. Lastly, I like that they added some new killstreaks, I like the option of having the guard dog too, because it watches your back, gets martyr-dog kills, and gives you a warning growl when opponents are nearby.

Decent Game, Servers are bad
So the campaign is awesome. I wont give too many details but the levels are really cool. The multi-player has had some upgrades since it first came out, before it was all over the place. If you like COD and have played the games in the past or got the most recent COD i'd skip this one - i kinda of treat COD's like my iPhones - you skip the release after your model and get the one after that...but thats just me. Servers for 360 right now are all laggy...lots of lag, even if you have a great connection i've heard of people running into these issues...picking a new host is good and SOMETIMES fixes the issues... overall good game though, its been a couple years since my last COD purchase so i was excited about this

Typical CoD multiplayer
I feel the multiplayer has been downgraded from the original CoD games. Players are sought to use more stealth such as silencers and other attachments way more than in the past. The kill streaks are not great, the lag compensation needs to be fixed big time. I would say the multiplayer is so-so. 50% you may like it, 50% not. The campaign single player is awesome though, they've done another great job on the storyline and action. They added extinction sort of like zombies but better, gets easier over time and with teammates that talk and know what they are doing, more maps are expected though. Safegaurd, like survival in MW3 but weapons and equipment are bought they are picked out of care packages and kill streak care packages are dropped to help. Infinite waves can be played though gets extremely difficult after 50 or so waves which is expected. Definetely a fun game to play and have, though the multiplayer can be much better.
