    Another thing that can be added to Spectre's list is the leaderboards; why do IW's games collate the rankings by score only? All this does is reflect who plays the game more than others. At least with Treyarch, the rankings hold more merit with SPM over duration of all-time, monthly and weekly. It's to me a more accurate depiction of quality rather than who has more time on their hands to play. I was in the top 75 Domination rankings on Black Ops with a SPM of around 850 which was a very satisfying but for me to replicate that feat on Ghosts; I'd have to be playing at least 12 hours a day every single day just to match the players in the score-based leaderboard. It's not a crushing problem but it's another feature that isn't as well implemented as what Treyarch have done. Basically anything in Barracks sucks the big one!

    BF4 in my opinion is actually terrible. There are more severe game-breaking issues on the game than any other title I have seen. If you're struggling to get into Ghosts; Battlefield 4 will make you give up on the genre altogether lol! The state the game is in at the minute and has been since release; EA do not deserve your money or time.

    I wonder if all of this was just a publicity stunt anyway? I can see Mr Macfarlane trolliing the hell out of the diminishing fanbase! Well it's worked...

    Excellent post Spectre! You could also have 'Dynamic Maps' to the add section but in all honesty, are the maps really all that dynamic? Sure you can open and close a few doors, blow up a little bit of scenery and a lamppost may fall over but it's hardly pushing the boundaries in this day and age. IW sold it pretty well in the build up but the final offering in the dynamic stakes is nothing short of what Black Ops 1 offered with elevators and zip wires. I like Ghosts but I expected a bit more and seeing what they've taken away from the series in total just seems to show to me how condensed and stripped down Ghosts really is. For me; the loss of theater is very disappointing not just for my lack of a capture device but in regards to spotting and reporting hackers on PC effectively and with evidence. The infrastructure of Ghosts is really depleted and whilst I like what IW have done in terms of the class customisation and weapons; I find their past two titles a major step backwards in comparison to what Treyarch are doing in moving the franchise forward.

    Lol! I would think eBay have passed it on to Trading Standards - which should give them a right laugh at the office at this jolly festive time of the year! I am surprised eBay actually reimbursed him for such sheer stupidity. Instead, he should be banned for attempting to inflate the price of pictures lol!

    Just a summer of friendlies against similarly skilled teams, namely; Albania, Cook Islands and Grimsby Town.

    I read today in the paper that eBay have reimbursed £450 and they have passed on the sellers details to the relative investigative force. Oh well at least he got his dole money back I suppose!

    England have Costa Rica, Uruguay and Italy in their group. Not as bad as it could have been but tough nevertheless!

    I've only seen 1 hacker on PC although there has been a few reported on all the systems but a patch was released yesterday apparently that prevents god mode and invisibility for anyone that has fallen-foul of those in recent weeks. Fingers crossed this game will remain pretty clean throughout like Black Ops 2.

    I stand by my initial opinion that BF4 is probably the worst FPS game I have ever played. I have tried to get into it but the sheer contrast between this and Battlefield 3 is staggering. I agree with much that you have said although the above is my experience on the PC and not the 360/PS3 versions.....which makes it worse!

    The guy deserves it for getting an Xbox One.

    DICE shouldn't shoulder any of the blame as EA conducted a public Alpha and Beta test in which they seemed happy for the game to be released so the buck has to stop with them. Either EA knowingly released a half-cocked product or didn't effectively assess the data collected from the open beta. I think EA's arrogance and deluded presence in the industry clouded their judgement in thinking they could even remotely compete with Call of Duty. I am still seething after what they did to Medal of Honor - a pure greed cash-in in which they diminished a legendary series whilst screwing the developers (Danger Close) and blaming them for all failings despite the company not having the personnel or experience required for the task. They gave them the Frostbite engine and left them to concoct a game in a short time-frame. BF4 is easily the worst experience I have had in videogames in recent memory and EA deserve to fail.

    This is definitely the one attachment that 95% of people use on PC. For me, it is pure gold. I do miss hearing the refreshed weapon sounds in all their glory but it is worth the sacrifice for the stealth factor. I don't think the suppressor affects the gun performance too much regardless of what the stats say and as this game is driven more by sounds than any other COD I've played; firing at full-rate can really draw attention to you even from a reasonable distance. Does anyone on here not use the silence on all their weapons that are applicable and how many proportionally opt for the attachment on the consoles as a whole?

    I had Black Ops on the PS3 and it took around 4 months to iron itself out and just when things were looking up; we had the PSN outage! I even tried locale only which improved the connection but the lobbies were riddled with the French and Germans. Basicallly a Euro-campathon. It did improve after the summer but by then, I had no more hair to tear out!

    I know of four different drops via Field Orders for specific maps: Strikezone - KEM (moab essentially killing all opponents and altering the map) Soverign - Halon Gas (Why FFS? You blind the other team......and your own players for two minutes! Not sure if this kills or is just pointless for everyone) Warhawk - Mortar Fire (Mortar strikes on specific areas of the map for one minute) Whiteout - Satellite Crash (Dish collapses onto an area of the map C side) Is there any other key killstreak drops on other maps from Field Orders?

    Just beat the game in 7 minutes lol! Thankfully there seems to be many ways to do it. I went the routine way but I will mix it up on my next playthrough

    Some great tips there! I haven't really sniped since the MW2 days but I will be getting back into it especially with those over-sized maps. Great to see sniping done the proper way and I am glad IW didn't bow down to the tryhard scopers like they did on the very QS generous MW3. Any tips on classes I can take into squads first?
  24. J4MES OX4D
    This is the campiest game since MW2 no doubt. Black Ops 2 seemed to bring the best out of the COD community but modes like Kill Confirmed and Domination in Ghosts are just unbearable now. Getting shot of HQ and HP was a bad idea.
