So I've been getting a lot of my Ghosts info on Charlies Intel, CoD Wiki and Twitter. So any new info that's not on here feel free to post it below and we'll keep on adding to the OP together. As it was already stated this thread is for us to all have a discussion about the new Call of Duty: Ghosts. I'd like to start out with the Official Call of Duty: Ghosts Multiplayer Reveal video: Create-A-Soldier Infinity Ward has changed the customization feature and have added brand new Create-A-Soldier, where you customize everything about your character. Character Customization: Infinity Ward has added new ways to fully customize the soldier you play as in Ghosts. You can play as a male or female soldier and customize every feature of your character. Choose the head, body type, head-gear and equipment, and you can even create a female soldier for the first time. With over 20,000 possible combinations, you can create the soldier you’ve always wanted. And each soldier you create will also have his or her own load outs. I wanted to add on that playing as a female will NOT give you an advantage if you think that they will be smaller than males. They will be the same size, whether they add on extra gear or whatever. Load Out: In Ghosts, you’re allocated a budget for our primary weapon, secondary weapon, your lethal & tactical equipment, and your Perks. All attachments and Killstreaks are free for you to choose. There’s also ‘Squad Points’ coming in Ghosts MP, which determines what you can unlock when. You chose what attachments, guns, etc. you want to unlock. If you have enough Squad Points you can unlock whichever ones you want at anytime. Weapons: Assault Rifles: Honey Badger APS SC-2010 SA-805 M4A1 G3 ARX-160 AK-12 Vepr FAD R5 RGP MSBS Submachine Guns: UMP45 Vector CRB CBJ-MS Bizon K7 Mtar-X VBR Lightmachine Gun: Chain SAW Ameli M27 IAR LSAT Sniper Rifles: L115 USR GM6 G28 VSK Marksman Rifles: IA-2 MR-28 MK14 EBR SVU Shotguns: MTS-225 Bulldog Handguns: P226 M9A1 MP-443 Grach .44 Magnum Launchers: Panzerfaust MK32 Kastet Misc: Knife Riot Shield Lethal Grenades: C4 Canister Bomb Semtex I.E.D Throwing Knife Frag Grenade Non-Lethal Grenades: 9-Bang Concussion Grenade Motion Sensor Smoke Grenade Thermobaric Grenade Trophy System Attachments: Red Dot Sight Silencer Holographic Sight Grip Grenade Launcher ACOG Scope Extended Mags Akimbo Muzzle Brake Slug Rounds Select Fire Armor-Piercing Rounds Radar Hybrid Scope Perks: With Call of Duty: Ghosts, you get to customize what perks you want with you in-game. There’s a total of 35 perks in Ghosts, and each perk has a value between 1 and 5. You get 8 points to use on perks, and you chose which ones you want. The new Perks system has more perks than ever before. Every perk has a value from 1 to 5, and you have 8 points to allocate. So for example, choose 4 perks each valued at 2 points a piece, or even 8 perks, each valued at 1. You could also choose to get rid of your secondary weapon and get up to 11 perks. Perks in Call of Duty: Ghosts have been divided into 7 sections (refer to picture above): Speed – Examples include Sleight of Hand and Agility allowing players to quickly move through the environment. Handling – Improve the player’s weapon handling abilities with perks such as On The Go (reload while sprinting) and Strong Arm (throw equipment further and decrease grenade cook time). Stealth – Perks such as Takedown (kill enemies without revealing their death location) and Off the Grid allow players to move through the environment undetected. Awareness – Improve a player’s situational awareness and ability to detect enemy equipment. Resistance – Enhance a player’s ability to withstand damage and regenerate health faster. Equipment – Perks that allow players to hold extra equipment, attachments and ammunition. Elite – A new type of player perk that includes Ping (a sonar ping that’s activated upon killing an enemy, revealing nearby hostiles) and Deadeye (consecutive kills increase the chance to deal more bullet damage). Killstreaks - Strike Packages With Call of Duty: Ghosts, Infinity Ward is bringing back MW3's Strike Packages – Assault, Support, and Specialist. There are over 20 NEW Kill Streaks in Call of Duty: Ghosts — such as Juggernaut Maniac, Helo-Scout, Vulture and the ODIN Strike. Assault Strike Package – Strike package based on consecutive enemy kills that resets upon death. (they’ve made more killstreaks on the ground – not all in the air anymore.) -New streak rewards Include: Sat Com – Acquired after 3 points. The SAT COM functions similarly to the UAV in previous Call of Duty games but with a twist. The SAT COM must be planted on the ground. It is no longer an aircraft. Another feature of the SAT COM is that it is upgraded depending on how many other SAT COMs are on the map. If there is only one friendly SAT COM it will only show enemies on the radar if they are in a friendlies line of sight. If there are two friendly SAT COMs a radar sweep will go and it will function exactly like a normal UAV. Three friendly SAT COMs will cause the radar sweep to occur faster. Finally, four friendly SAT COMs will periodically show enemy direction with each sweep. IMS – Acquired after 4 points. The IMS functions similarly to the IMS in Modern Warfare 3. Guard Dog – Acquired after 5 points. The Guard Dog (Riley) will spawn near the player and follow the player around the map and will not only attack enemies close by, but also bark or growl if an enemy is nearby. Sentry Gun – Acquired after 6 points. Functions similarly to Sentry Guns in other Call of Duty games. Battle Hind - Acquired after 6 points. Although it is not known exactly what it does, one can imagine it will function similarly to Attack Helicopters of previous Call of Duty games. Vulture - Acquired after 7 points. It is unknown as to what it does. Although it appears to be a variant of a Quad-rotor that is not player controlled. Gryphon - Acquired after 8 points. It functions similarly to the Dragon Fire in Black Ops 2 although it fires explosives and can see enemies through walls. Juggernaut Maniac – Acquired after 9 points. An airdropped pointstreak that (when picked up) grants the user Juggernaut armor and a combat knife. The Maniac moves at the same speed as a normal player. Juggernaut - Acquired after 10 points. An airdropped pointstreak that (when picked up) grants the user Juggernaut armor and a Minigun. Helo Pilot - Acquired after 12 points. Allows the player to control an Attack Helicopter for a period of time. Support Strike Package – Strike package that does not reset on player’s death. (They’ve made the streaks more support based – not driven by assault.) -New streak rewards Include: SAT COM - Acquired after 4 points. (See above description). Ballistic Vests - Acquired after 6 points. Functions similarly to the Modern Warfare 3 Ballistic Vests. Box of Guns - Acquired after 8 points. It is currently unknown what the pointstreak does. Night Owl – Acquired after 9 points. An advanced companion drone that detects enemies based on proximity (motion sensor) and protects you from explosives (trophy system). MAAWS – Acquired after 10 points. The MAAWS Launcher fires a rocket which splits into two different rockets which are laser guided. Ground Jammer - Acquired after 12 points. Although it is not fully known what this pointstreak does one can imagine it jams or disables enemy SAT COMs. Air Superiority - Acquired after 12 points. Calls in a fighter jet that engages enemy air support / pointstreaks. Heli Sniper – Acquired after 13 points. Provide sniper support for your team aboard a controllable helicopter. Support Squadmate - Acquired after 13 points. It is currently unknown what the Support Squadmate does. Oracle - Acquired after 14 points. It is currently unknown what the Oracle does. Juggernaut Recon - Acquired after 14 points. Airdrops a Juggernaut armor that has a personal radar. Nothing else is currently known about what the Juggernaut Recon spawns with. Specialist Strike Package – it’s the same as MW3, Unlock perks as you get more kills. 2 points- Grants the player the perk he/she selected as the first unlock. 4 points- Grants the player the perk he/she selected as the second unlock. 6 points- Grants the player the perk he/she selected as the third unlock. 8 points- Grants the player the Specialist bonus. Field Orders: Field Orders are new to the world of Call of Duty. Field Orders are special assignments that are received by picking up a hovering blue suitcase which is dropped when the top player in the lobby is killed. If the Field Order is successfully completed a care package is granted which can contain any pointstreak in the game and possibly grant the powerful K.E.M Strike or trigger a map event. Field Order assignments can be something as seemingly simple as getting 3 kills in a row whilst prone or something harder such as getting a collateral. When the player carrying the Field Order dies the briefcase will fall and can be picked up by any player in the game whether it be friend or foe. K.E.M Strike (Odin Strike)- When received via a Field Order package and used a 5 second countdown begins. When the timer reaches 0 a massive explosion occurs which kills all enemy players and change the way the map appears. It is only currently known to be a reward on the map Strikezone. Game Modes Cranked – similar to TDM with a faster face – when you get a kill you get fast movement but with a countdown timer. You’ll explode if you don’t finish before the clock. Infected – similar to the mode in MW3. Search and Rescue – take on SnD – when you’re killed you drop a dog tag; if your team mates get the tag, they can revive you. Grind Blitz – take on CTF – each team has a portal to defend. You have to go through the portal to score points. Hunted Safe Guard Multiplayer Maps ‘Free Fall’ – Preorder Bonus – The brand-new Call of Duty: Ghosts’ multiplayer map Free Fall drops you into a shattered skyscraper on the brink of collapse. Sideways staircases climb into the night sky, elevator shafts run along the ground, and what were once windows now form a terrifying glass floor, hundreds of feet above the city streets. Free Fall’s close-quarters combat and frenetic action are thrown into overdrive as the ruined skyscraper continues to fall throughout the match, an example of Call of Duty: Ghosts’ new dynamic multiplayer events. With every drop, the accompanying shockwaves cause further destruction, disrupting sight lines and constantly evolving paths and choke points as the map changes in real-time. ‘Octane’ ‘Strike Zone’ - takes place in a torn out baseball stadium. ‘Whiteout’ - Snow map. 'Chasm' - takes place in Los Angeles. Miscellaneous Multiplayer Info Contextual lean – can naturally lean around obstacles. Mantling -Move fluidly over objects, while not losing momentum. Low-mantle, while firing your weapon. Jump mantle from roof-top to roof-top. Knee Slide - Natural transition from sprinting to crouch or prone. Maintain momentum as you move through the world. Ability to shoot while sliding. YY is similar to MW3's function. New Knee sliding feature – where you transition from standing to crouching. FIELD OBJECTIVES – if you complete a field objective, you get a special care package that gives you a streak. ALL Multiplayer maps will have ‘some’ dynamic element. Ghosts will be supporting competitive multiplayer. Dog will be in MP – not discussing how at this time. Revamped Multiplayer completely. Dynamic Maps (earth quakes, flooding, player driven actions, doors, explosive traps, etc.) Character Customization – choose heads, bodies, helmet, and gear They want to make each map as different as possible. Removing the classic symmetrical map layouts. One map has a point where a satellite crashes into the map – whichever teams gets to it first gets a UAV. Dedicated Servers for Xbox One. No Theater Mode. No more Hardpoint and Capture the Flag. Call of Duty Elite Take profile from current gen to next gen – including your stats, custom classes, and more! Clans: Join clans, create, and manage all in-game or app. Communication via messages. Rally Up. Touch based emblem editor for your Clan. Clan XP for any MP match with Clan. Clan vs. Clan playlist!

This new feature allows you to play against other clans to earn Clan XP and level up in game. A brand new, 24/7 game mode that connects directly to Call of Duty®: Ghosts multiplayer, where clans compete against each other for additional XP and in-game content The New Call of Duty Mobile App: The Call of Duty App includes some of the best and most popular features from Call of Duty® Elite, such as tracking your career stats, as well as the ability to check out a friend’s or rival’s stats. Communicate via the Rally Up and Clan Chat features, to keep in touch with your friends and Clan members. Second Screen functionality is there to enhance your experience, and not get in the way. Pre-match, you can edit your squad. In match, you have one-touch access to swap your loadout for your next spawn.

Okay, so this video is a bit silly, but there are a lot of truths in it as well. Video games have absolutely brought some people together forming real life, long lasting friendships. Video games can also help siblings bond. Video games can help parents bond with their children. There's a lot of shit talking about video games being a waste of time, but I strongly disagree. Real life friendships can be made through video games. This forum is a testament to that. My parents divorced when I was 6. When I'd go to visit my Dad on the weekends he would play video games with me and my brother. We'd play Combat, Pac Man, Space Invaders, Super Mario Brothers, Excite Bike, Contra, etc., etc. I have a lot of great memories playing games with my Dad when I was little. He still asks me about new games that are coming out and what games I'm playing. He doesn't play anymore (carpal tunnel surgery in both wrists), but he still shows interest in them with me. My daughter likes to watch me play games. She always tells me to "get the bad guys, Daddy!" I let her play Fortress Craft on Xbox 360. She just walks around digging holes and putting Easter eggs in them. I built her a pink house and she loves it. We had a great time together doing that. My best friend, Matt, and I used to play games together throughout our entire childhood. We've been friends since we were 3 & 5. We're both now in our 30's with families. We don't get much free time to make the drive to visit each other, but we still play games together online. It's awesome that we can still play games together even though we live several hours away with little free time. I've made some friends through this forum. Chris and I talk every day through texts or on the phone. Lee and I have met up a few times to hangout and e-mail each other quite often. I'd say a lot of people on this forum have experienced similar friendships. We've all shared personal things with each other, prayed for each other, and have been there for each others difficulties and celebrations. I'm forever grateful for the PC you all built for me. That was a very humbling experience. I'm sure Mike feels exactly the same way. Video gamers can be pretty nasty at times, but they can also be some of the most kind people I've ever come across. Long Live Gaming! Thoughts?

I suppose I should start by confessing that I came to this forum a couple of weeks ago while drunk and I was convinced the next morning I had made an account and left a message. I tried all my email addresses for forgotten password before coming to the conclusion I had obviously dreamt it all. So there you go, that's me. I'm phil, I like punk rock, pretending to be intellectual, THFC, my dad's cousin played in the arsenal double winning team of 1971 (pains me that one being spurs), my girlfriend of 8 tears is from Barcelona, hands off you horrible bastards, I dislike racists and people who base their opinions on other people's opinions rather than obtain facts and reach their own conclusions, I hate carrots, I have a cockney accent with the occasional Irishism because of me ma and pa being irish and that, I also love roots reggae from the 70s, I love the bass innit, there used to be a good club in Finsbury park called the dub club, those boys love the old chalice, erm what else, my best mates are mostly angels with dirty faces, I cycle to work, I live in hackney, E5, I'm in a band with three guys from the basque country and we rock it old school oi/punk and my Brendan behan stream of consciousness is now at an end. Hello, I'm a pheasant plucker pleased to meet you.

I'm FullMetalPikmin and I like platformers, fps, and rpg games. Not really much to say.

1. My favorite type of music is rock/alterantive. 2. My favorite anime is "Soul Eater". 3. I tend to speak my thoughts out loud when I'm alone. 4. I need to say things descriptivley when explaining something. 5. My favorite game is possibly Bioshock. 6. FO: NV > FO:3 -IMO- 7. I like art. 8. I talk A LOT. 9. 'Murican 10. Brony Bonus fact: I can't live without my laptop.

Would never have guessed.

We know you're a familiar face. You gave that away calling me my real name haha

One of the best metal songs ever in my opinion. One of the most underrated too probably because of it's length. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBEUTntgMOI Edit; I just learned this but I have been thinking about this for a long time myself... The guitar patterns in the intro of this song turns out to be a message in Morse code. Guess what it says? "The Meaning of Life". That is AWESOME...

Welcome,enjoy your stay

Donegal and Kildare. Donegal is beautiful, but wet. Funnily enough I was actually born in Dublin, Hollis Street and have been in London since the age of tree (ha I can sort of get with that). Went to a catholic school in north London and 90% had Irish parents. Cheers mate!

Welcome man! Where's your ma and da from? I'm in Dublin meself. Don't mind those rats haha I don't think there's any proper pricks on here tbh. Hope ya stick around dude.

Welcome!

Welcome!

stay away from cookies, hes the worst person on here in everyway

Welcome! Avoid uberwarrior, only racist I know on here.

The main light fixture in my kitchen died yesterday. I thought it had just blown the bulbs from a storm surge or something, but changing the bulbs didn't help. It is a florescent type and has a ballast built in, so I shut off the breaker and got my multimeter out. Yup, dead ballast. Now here's where stuff gets tricky. I'm afraid of electricity. I do not understand it and I do not trust it. I have only the most basic understanding of household wiring. I have only the most basic understanding of how to use a multimeter. My house is an older home and while the wiring is modern and up to code, its not always color coded the way it should be. Top it off with this light is controlled by two different switches but the original electrical box wiring was just for one switch (the second switch was added in a later remodel). What does this mean? 1) There are too many wires. 2) Not all of the wires are the right color. 3) You can't tell at a glance if the switch is off or on because turning it "off" could actually turn it on, depending on the position of the other switch. I came *THIS* close to calling in an electrician, but it being a holiday weekend I figured I'd be hit with overtime rates, so I ponied up and did it myself. It wasn't easy. It wasn't fun. I had to take another working light fixture apart to figure out how it should be wired (I originally wired it like a normal one switch light fixture and it was always on, regardless of switch position for either switch). Using the multimeter, looking at how the other one was wired, and having my wife control the switches I finally figured out it was white to white, black to read, the black to black that was inside the wire nut is left alone, and of course green to bare metal. I did not shock myself, despite having to work with the breaker on so I could figure out what was hot when using the multimeter. I did not set anything on fire. I did not create any new holes in the ceiling. Yay me!

Yeah Captn Obvious, I know, trololol.

Na a bulb's a bulb and a light fixture is everything but the bulb, that's at least what i was taught but then knowing where i worked that's probably wrong lol There's nothing worse than pulling a fixture down and seeing wires hanging about everywhere :/

^ lol

The best fighting game ever is making a return but only on Xbox One.

Get yourself one of those testing devices... Can't think of the proper name. They tell you if something is live/hot/has a current running to it. Saved my ass once. Looks like this.

o hai there. Hope you frequent this place as much as you do dA. This place is filled with great people. You should explain a bit more about yourself. 10 randoms facts about yourself will do nicely.

I heard an interview with these guys on NPR and became an instant fan. This is a mish-mash of classic country, blues, funk, southern swing, all mixed together and then electrified. In this video the main guitar is a home built 2 string electric...built out of a coffee can. Yes, the body is an actual coffee can, and it sounds fantastic.

Made a splinter cell-esque emblem last night. its hard to see a lot of stuff in it because elite's colouring is different than the colouring ingame so i touched it up a bit in GIMP What is hard to see The shadows on the ground The light from the windows on the ground The fade effect
