Call of Duty: Ghosts Multiplayer Outlined in Lavish Presentation

Only new thing about THIS COD is that goshdarn dog.

@AeroTech That's unfair to say about the game. That said, it doesn't look like it's doing much different (doesn't look much different either), but I think only playing it will tell whether it's just inventive enough to be fun. I follow CoD, but have yet to own BO2. Perhaps this time CoD will be treated equally (excluding xbox) on Wii U as well which is a plus (for those who care anyway.)

@TromboneGamer Eh, I guess. Not excited either way.

I like it. Looks like a good, great evolution on the series staple multiplayer. Glad it's coming to Wii U, I don't mind not having DLC should it be like last entry on Wii U, I am doing just fine still with "Black Ops II".

I plan to get this for Wii U. I like using the gun controller. Eventhough COD games can be kinda the same this one seems to have added enough new content for me to want to pick it up. Looking forward to it

@AeroTech Actually, a lot of stuff can be destroyed like in Battlefield, you can lean on your hips and customize your guy, while all of that's fancy, I won't be getting it.

And they can't just include this as DLC for the previous game.

I love female soldiers and dogs

@SomeBitTripFan They cant make it DLC because its an entire new game with an entire new story. Underdogs fighting in a post apocalyptic world (different than all the other COD). Plus the story should be really good since it is written by Stephen Gaghan (he won an oscar)

@Yanchamaru Im so happy they added girl soldiers

Heh, this is the kind of change I was waiting for from what most people see as a stagnant series.

I'll get this on WiiU I think. Just hoping a community builds around the game to keep the multiplayer strong. Is Blops2 multiplayer doing well at the moment?

@Play-Doh :

But, is it using the same engine? I would have some respect for CoD if they released one game per platform and simply added on a new campaign each year as DLC. Unless, they change to a new engine that improves the quality of the game overall.

Activion also said dual screen features in all versions... ironic that the Gamepad gets stick and called a bad idea yet this idea is the copied for other systems. Trouble is whereas the screen is built into the controller with te gamepad on other system you will need to juggle 2 seperate device which imo is the bad idea... how long do you think it will be before Xbone/Ps4 get a new controller announced with built in screen.. I reckon before Xmas 2014.

@SomeBitTripFan well the guys from COD did say that they built a new "next gen" engine. Allowing for some destructible environments that'll change the game in points, improved sound design and graphics and Ai which they say act like actual people, and other touches.

You can play as a dog?

@jpfan1989

Dude, you musn't have been listening at the big E3 reveal. Thats their big point of difference with the storyline etc. The announcement spawned a massive number of humorous Scooby Doo Call of Duty Dog Memes all over the net. Check them out for a chuckle.

Or...you knew that already and are just being sarcastic...

I was totally going to get this day 1 but after another review I read just before seeing this im going to pass til its around 30 bucks. Bf4 still looks/plays better than this seems to be shaping up and im still okay with blops 2 for wii u. Im honestly disappointed. I thought Activision was going to deliever. Dice's fb3 engine and bf4 puts it to shame. Im kind of bummed.

@mariobro4 Parts of the environment either blows up or it doesn't. It has zero progression damage.

@Jajayal last time I was online blops 2 seemed decent.

Oh, so the dog has a name now?

I hope they release a pre order set for Wii U too. That's what I'm aiming for. Still getting this for Wii U regardless.

I'll consider it after I see if they will support it after launch, DLC isn't necessarily a priority but it would be nice to have support. Support support support!

I've always kind of wanted to get into this franchise, everyone loves it, but I've never really played it...maybe with Wii U, I'll finally do it!

I like the offline 'multiplayer' squad idea, women soldiers and of couse Colin the dog.

Isnt the dogs name Riley....

already have plans to get this for the Wii U

@mariobro4: Yeah, true. I'm forgetting what consoles this is coming out on. The game does sound relatively fun, but once they have announced the new game next year, unless they're making some major changes, I'll be right back to thinking that. Imagine if Activision spent three years making a CoD game that evolved the franchise instead of milking it into stagnation. Or if they just kept expanding Ghosts and added campaigns as DLC. Even if the stories weren't connected, that would likely be a great game. I doubt it will happen, but sometimes it's good to try and be a little bit optimistic.

Haven't played a call of duty game for a long time since Modern Warfare 2. Guess I'll jump back in for ghosts depending on the player count.

I'll get xbox 360 for sure. I wanted it for wii u too but since last bo2 didn't get any DLC, there's no point buying it.

@conman2012 no sarcasm here, this is the first I heard, I didn't watch e3 outside the Nintendo direct and I normally avoid COD like the plague

@Savino
You play BF? I usually play a FPS campaign once a yr, and the Battlefield 4 campaign caught my eye this time around. Only problem is, I heard it would most likely be really short, as campaigns from previous entries were. Have you heard how long the campaign will be in BF4? If it's decent I might give it a go around this yr instead of CoD.

I played local multiplayer with one of their older titles and it was loads of fun. I like the inclusion of women soldiers and dogs.

Series looks good. I got into multiplayer with mw3. Good system and it seems well updated. It mostly seems like cosmetic affect but sliding (as in baseball) and 7 new game types makes it seem good. It's not a game to get every year but the system looks new enough (maps, game types, weapons, weapon types, expanded perk system, upgraded pick 10 system, modes, and customization options) to make it worth while. That being said, I'll skip it if they don't bring the new maps to Wii U.

mariobro4
well the guys from COD did say that they built a new "next gen" engine

Activision said that, & Infinity Ward has said themselves it's not a brand new engine, it would be impossible to build a new engine from the ground up in 2years. It's the same engine thay've been using for over 10years but with a few updates.I 'll be picking up BF4 for the PS4, 64players in multiplayer & thay are making a better campaign, this time around.

I don't like COD but I'll play it, I think its awesome its coming for WII U!

@jpfan1989 Not as far as I have seen, you must-have one as a pet who you can set on people?

Might actually go for this,just for that adorable dog,and the inclusion women soliders.

I'll buy it!!

There's so many games coming on wii u, that i wont have enough money for this game, And anyway, isn't cod getting repititive?

is the Wii version of black ops any good?

COD is a multiplayer experience through and through. Sometimes I like it, mostly I don't.

I still don't know for sure if the Wii U will get that CoD multiplayer...

@DePapier Yes it will. Activision are promoting 2nd screen functionality. The WiiU has one a standard All other platforms are app downloads for smart devices.

@Sony_70 I had a few years break from CoD as I got bored of the series before getting Blops2 on Ps3 and was suprised I enjoyed it. Although I didn't get Blops2 on WiiU I'll be getting Ghosts for it.

yeah camp fest here we come!!!!!

@Jajayal The BLOPS community was small but pretty great. I still know plenty of people that log on ans play. It should be a lot better this time around though.

Headline: Call of Duty: Ghosts Muliplayer Outlined

There's plenty for fans to be excited about. The publisher has stated that there will be guns in the game, and you will shoot people.

In other news, here's Ken with the daily percentage of blue in the sky.

When I got home from work this morning, I could've sworn the dog was mentioned as Colin. Or was it me being exhausted?

edit: I see this has been discussed already, still funny though, as I prefer Colin

Anyway, multiplayer improvements all seem nice from this short synopsis, and the trailer looks good. But I want to know if the single player campaign -which makes the dog seem more interesting- has the following:

-Wiimote+nunchuck controls

-smaller warfare (BF4 looks impressive and all, but I want the less bombastic, more swift squad-feel)

-more than a handful of hours of interesting story telling, with 'real' characters. It doesn't need to be Brothers in Arms -although that would make it a day one purchase- but the first Modern Warfare was decent in that regard.

-fish a.i. Kidding. Serious about the others though. In Blops 2 I really couldn't care about the story or characters even if I knew it continued Blops 1, which had a decent story. Didn't Mario 64 have fish a.i. already?

If they can bring back the 'small scale' fighting in a wargame, the black hawk down feel of Modern Warfare 1, and the campaign length/game price balance, I'll get it.

I can't find the Wii U version anywhere online in Europe. Do you know anything about this?

If they make use of the gamepad in a meaningful way, I'll consider it, otherwise no.

The DLC for Wii U is unconfirmed. If you go to the website, they allow orders for elite on all other platforms except Wii U. It could be because they haven't decided; It could be be because they don't plan on it. But a lack of support will guarantee a loss.

If they confirm DLC, I'll most definitely be getting this WiiU.

Loved MW. Liked MW2. Loved black ops. Hated MW3. Was a bit meh about blops 2. So...i have my concerns. Wondering how stripped down the WiiU version will be =/

I hear the special editions won't be offered to Wii U owners, so if that's an indication that we won't get all the DLC, then that sucks royal balls.

I for one don't mind missing out on the DLC. I'll buy the game, enjoy the story once or twice, play tons of multiplayer, and that's that. That money I won't be spending on DLC for this game can go to funding another game purchase. It's a good thing!
