It looked alright graphically. Very smooth. But meh, it doesn't look anywhere near as good as Gears 3's horde mode. Looks brainless like Halo's firefight. I was trying to remember where I saw that one guy in the video before and then it hit me- he's the guy that used to show off the create-a-song mode in Guitar Hero. He works on games that get run directly into the ground apparently.

If you want to deduce COD down that much, then you better include every other shooter.

I thought the term bullet sponge refers to enemies that take a lot to take down
CoD never really had that, enemies usually drop fast
i like my friends that only play carcassone way better

Can someone Pixel Count the video so we know if it's 720p or 1080p?
The much lower resolution of the Xbone version ensures that the game will look significantly worse on Xbone than PS4 on a TV screen. 720p vs. 1080p is nothing to sneeze at.
And: Looks completely uninteresting to me, but I'll still get it for PS4 launch. I like to keep up on multiplayer shootmans.

Looks fun.
That animation did look weird.

I like the approach that Rubin mentioned - starting with gameplay - even to the extent that they just threw jumping boxes in as character models for the aliens at the very beginning of development.
Extinction definitely could be fun, but I was never a big Zombies fan, and the alien approach is probably even less appealing to me. I did spend TONS of time in MW4's Survival Mode, however. I guess I just find human enemy AI as the more exciting/fun scenario than the seemingly random movement of "creatures". Wave games are always fun to play with friends, though, so I'm sure Extinction will get a fair shake.

Rapid fire pistols exist in real life. The recoil animation is a bit exaggerated though since it looks like the hands are reacting to the first kickback in every shot without even attempting to control it.
Call of Duty is gaming ADD personified.
Now they just want to appeal to the crowd that likes to feather the right trigger and see "hit marker, +100XP, Level 37! Killstreak available! New ACOG unlocked! New Camo pattern available!"
Call of Duty used to be about more than that. Any vision the franchise had went out the window after the IW exodus.

Halo 3 got perks? /s
Yeah the game looks horrible. When I see the BF4 commercials on TV and then the COD commercials I wonder if I'm seeing 360 footage on the COD ad, it looks like a joke compared to BF4. Now granted BF4 is probably being shown on a high end PC but I've seen ps4 footage too and it looks great as well. COD is just lazily thrown together.

Reminds me so much of Resistance, even the graphics.

It's a 720p video, on youtube at least, I believe. I don't know whether gamespot always uploads at that resolution but I think it makes pixel counting impossible if, I'm not mistaken.

This actually looks like it could be a lot of fun. Too bad all my co-op buddies are all "lol CoD, nothx" for every game in the series, without even looking. Halo, Gears, GTA, even Battlefield are all fine, but somehow Call of Duty is taboo. (Come to think of it, maybe it's a Halo vs CoD thing. They all play Halo, but none have ever touched a CoD game.)
Graphics are seriously lacking though. I wonder if it's the engine, or because it's cross-gen.

Honest question: Is there an actual reason why they haven't switched the engine to something like Unreal 4? I know they are on such short dev cycles as it is but seriously after seeing the Battlefield 4 PS4 MP footage this week and coming back to this... yuck, yuck yuck yuck.
Why? If it wasn't for COD they probably wouldn't be buying anything at all.
I think most at least buy 1 or 2 other faves such as some sports Game and GTA.

It's 720p on the Xbox One.

Anyone notice the health bar? It seems that CoD Ghosts, at least for extinction, looks to be doing away with the old regenerative system. It looks like health will regen over time but at a much slower pace. Maybe health packs are being introduced?

So, is this in the Wii U version? That's the version I'm getting and this looks pretty neat.

There are health packs and ammo packs they talked about them in the video.

No way. That looks very meh to be running at so low res. It's such a step down compared to BF4 visually :/

Didn IW took some Left 4 Dead Hud options ?
Also Gold Skind camo and custom colors for your weapons sights
EDIT So its more like a mini game? just one model for the alien dogs?
