After two games full of awful maps you'd think you guys would learn
Never had any really big issues from the past two games with the maps.
With Ghosts though... all these maps are so large and... generic.

I dont think he likes using it, its just that its pretty free and he wants most games to run at 120fps.
Sure is :/ I'm having a blast in multi though, the maps this time around are pretty huge and varied from what I've seen so far. No crashing or anything else ala BF4 just smooth sailing.

All the things you are mad about seem like good things. Less funnels, bigger maps, toned down killstreaks
I definitely disagree with some of Max's points, but 100% agree on the lack of Ground War and some of the maps being too big for 6v6. In his videos and others the maps are waaaaaay to big for 12 players, I'm literally watching people move for over a minute without seeing anyone from either team, it's absurd. People applauding there being more big maps is fine (and I don't have a problem with big maps), but it's completely artificial if those exact same maps are going to have 6 more people on them on next-gen versions. This isn't a design choice, it's a technical one.

I was thinking the same thing. But then again, I'm a hater of MW2, which Max seems to like.

Wow. Blitz is like a game mode made just for campers.
I had held out some small inkling of hope that it could be a cool idea that would lead to more team play, but it does exactly the opposite.
Shouldn't be surprised I guess...

Had a few confusing games of Safeguard so far. Everybody just kind of ran around and didn't team up and got swarmed one by one. First game I joined, some asshole kid kept trying to teamkill me because I picked up a turret he must have wanted. It felt very "Welcome back to Call of Duty, Fucker!"
I see potential in Safeguard anyway. Going to have to learn the maps. I don't think I like the whole "grab a powerup to level your gun" thing because it artificially makes it more difficult since the availability of that powerup is random and the weapon drops are random as well. Its not like you can specialize in a certain gun and go in with your best equipment. At least, for now since everything is locked. Seems like I see a lot of other games try to imitate Gears 3's Horde mode, but nobody can seem to get it right.
Not wild about the "cross-mode" unlocks either. I don't want to play VS to unlock stuff for Squads. I'm content to just play the co-op modes and would like to disregard all the VS stuff completely so I encounter fewer mouth-breathers. Oh well.
Gotta get started on campaign so I can unlock Extinction too! Feels like there's a lot of content here for sure.

Ugh. I saw my buddy play on the 360 and it looks fine. This is disappointing, guess ill have to wait for ps4 to play this. blah.
I agree. I find unless the person is moving, they are not visible. From further away any how..

If you're getting it on xbox it's only the multiplayer disc. Beware.

Do you really have to download the multiplayer portion to play the single player on steam? Read someone last night that said you had to.
Yep, you do.

Bummer, plan on giving it a go of course but I always finish the campaigns first. Anyone looked through the files as to why the game is so massive? Seems to look quite good at times but not largest PC FPS ever good
Good video max and i agree.
Not the full thing. I downloaded the SP portion and when I went to look in the MP lobby it prompted me for the last 7GB.

I don't think this game is terrible at all.
Obnoxious title for that video, but not bad content-wise.

The game download is insanely large on Steam, holy smokes (~50GB). I have not played a Call of Duty since 4, so I figured I would give this a go. Has the online for the past COD games on Steam been pretty active?
It's not about good or bad, it's about what you expect of the franchise. I mean, if those are the things you want, why are you even looking at a CoD game? BF has provided those with better graphics and netcode for like a decade now. CoD is about close quarters, crazy killstreaks and constant chaos.
I don't know if I can deal with this, it's just not fun being constantly killed because I only checked windows #1-54 and forgot to check the 55th god damned window that was overlooking my position. It's too fucking frustrating when compounded with the horrible netcode.
That's not PS3 blur though; that's the enormously long sightlines, the 80 vantage points they can see you from and the otherwise extremely cluttered maps. I don't see the dude killing me like 75% of the time on 360 either.

After being initially disappointed by the maps I've found I at least like Tremor. Nice size with some vertical areas to keep you on your toes.

Sounds about right to me.
I love the maps.
Each one [I've played] seems set-up for close action around the perimeter, but huge lines of sight for snipers through the middle. My playstyle I prefer mid-range with assault rifles, best of both worlds kinda deal, and I'm enjoying using machine guns for close action. On the other hand, my buddy and I keep taking turns and he's loving the long field of view for sniping.
Seriously though, I love these maps. Also, Cranked (gametype) is really fun.
On another note to anyone reading, add me on XBL if you need another player.

lol there was a guy doing a full freestyle rap for the duration of this latest match.
Seems I wont be touching this on anything but a next gen console. I like large maps, but im not happy to hear that nonsense with all the overabundace of flanking routes are back form MW3. It just leads to getting shot in the back constantly, and the problem is made worse if the spawns are terrible.

Nope. Somehow that was possible a year ago but not now.

Hm.. Thanks for posting.
I hated MW3 maps, so it's disappointing to hear about that.
But I did like BO2's maps, and it sounds like you didn't like that game.
I played a couple of matches on the PC and as of now, I can say that this multiplayer is awful. The narrow claustrophobic FOV in addition with the stuttering and nonsense spawn locations make this game a pain in the ass to play. I am getting my ass handed to me which is annoying since I have had no problems with any of the other CoD titles before. Also, is it just me or do you move like a snail compared to past titles?

Actually, everything about the game-design of BO2, from the perks, to killstreaks, to maps, I actually adore.
The issue with BO2, is every good decision they made on the game, is dwarfed and crushed by how horrible the connection is between players.

Your video made me want to play this game. All that stuff sound like good changes to me.
Never been in love with all the random killstreak easy killing on COD games from MW2 onwards.
From your footage it looks like all the dead and kills come from gunplay, so it looks good to me.
Bigger maps sounds good too as it allows for all the gun classes to be a viable option unlike BO2 where SMG are king.
Thanks

To each his own. In the end, I enjoy COD for being a fast paced arcade shooter. While Ghosts appears to be trying to appeal to the Battlefield market. And Battlefield has that shit on lock down.
I'm not a huge fan of MP in general and I haven't played any in Ghosts yet so I can't comment on that but as far as SP goes it might be my favorite CoD campaign. There's a nice mix of gameplay without too much repetition. It's just as linear as ever but within each area there are some different approaches available. My biggest complaint is that it moves too fast but I'd rather that then too slow. The story is cheesy.
I played on PC and didn't have too many issues. 1 crash. It's not the best looking game but it's not the worst either.

Oh. I played BO2 on Wii U. There are only like 10 people that own the game, so the connections weren't bad.
If you do keep playing though, please post your vids. They're really well done and informative.
I'm also one of those people that's sad they got rid of SnD.

Hmmm the PS3 does look blurry like Vaseline smear across the screen, ugh!
I read BOII had something similar but was patched. Hope ghosts can be patched as well, maybe fix the framerate issues too. Maybe rushed out the door?
