Will Ghosts be successful in spooking us all?


Activision revealed their upcoming Call of Duty and 6th Installment developed by Infinity Wards, Infinity wards have been behind Modern Warfare; One of the most successful Franchise unlike Treyarch who have been unsuccessful in terms of a Perfect Call of Duty. It sure sounds bit harsh when i say the word “Perfect” Seems biased but it isn’t, Call of Duty is One of a Kind says War Game Fan boy (Me ) I have played each Combat Game includes Counter-Strike, Arma, Battlefield, Medal of Honor or Call of Duty.

Playing all those combat games forced me saying one thing “Every Game has its own Reputation” mixing and comparing one to other is kind of odd because If each game has its good and bad. I find Call of Duty Tempting with its main feature as Story of the campaign that were just entertaining which excludes Modern warfare 3 and Black Ops 2. However, Activision also Revealed some of cool new features that Ghosts will offer us like Dynamic Maps (Mom! Look at those Fishes), Canines (Somebody tell the neighbors to keep the dog off my lawn!) and of course the detailed dirty nails of a soldier (Eww!) that’s just pure sarcasm because we all have to wait till the E3 or till Ghosts releases on Next generation console and Try em’out. Activision actually did a Trailer sort of reveal at #XboxReveal, it was unfortunate that we could not see the Live Gameplay of Call of Duty: Ghosts since it was one of the reasons to see the #XboxReveal.

Peekaboo, where are you? HERE!

Activision also announced that Call of Duty: Ghosts will Run on Upgraded engine as I told earlier it will be available on Next-Generation consoles such as PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. I was really happy till they said “Next-Generation consoles” why? Because they did not “Utilize” Current-Generation consoles yet! but they are also releasing it on current gen consoles though I am pretty sure it won’t make a Huge graphical difference like PS2 and PS3. About Characters, Call of Duty: Ghosts is a Reputation for itself! Ghost was one of the most efficient and fan loved character among MW team. I am still not sure about the Favorite Modern Warfare team (SAS ) led by  Captain Price, or it might be like Black Ops alike where there are different characters and different story.

Call of Duty: Ghosts Running on Next Generation Engine

Modern Warfare or Black Ops, But what matters is the Quality of Story, Graphics, Authenticity and Multiplayer. Yet, it’s one of most Authentic Call of Duty but it’s CALL OF DUTY! God! don’t already start to compare to Battlefield like Games. I have been playing both Call of Duty and Battlefield at same time, Major difference is Call of Duty is more like Stress-Free version of Battlefield, Battlefield actually takes me in Kharg Island and Call of Duty, I still realize that I am leaning back on my comfortable couch with Dr.Pepper..I am not sure what Activision is trying to do, Are they trying to make it Authentic and No more fun Game or they are trying to keep things same as it is just with better Graphics, Effects and offer Gamers something Really worth saying “Best of All Time” Call of Duty has created its own Reputation in Industry also topping the sales by Modern Warfare 3, Something really went wrong in creating the Previous installments like Black Ops 2, That lost the original toughness of First Black Ops.

After conducting a Community Survey, Many stopped playing Call of Duty after Black Ops 1 or Modern Warfare 2. That shows, something seriously went wrong with the Story, Original Touch and They did not keep up with escalating generation.

Call of Duty: Ghosts Dynamic maps shows All-New under water Environment

Call of Duty: Ghosts is something New in this Franchise, Not another Boring installment of Black Ops or something else. It’s almost impossible to give an end to this, its more like Immortal debate. What my take on this? Activision could take some time off instead of bring an installment every year, which could at least give little time to heal the burn they have created. What they came up was quite insensible. Being a COD Player, I want Continuous Match making without some network disconnected errors while I am on the High score. I like what they are doing with Graphics so far, Something is Definitely better than something. I am looking forward to the Story and Emotions of this “New Call of Duty” but if it fails to cross the sales target of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 then I will most likely quit playing Call of Duty because then I would be pretty sure that Next year it will be Ghosts 2 followed by Ghosts 3..Just keeping the Game Franchise alive does not make it the Best! Investing Millions are not like 5th Grade Probability, They can make it the Best. But something is pulling them back at some point.
