Even with a leap to the next generation Call of Duty hasn’t escaped the criticisms of complacency that accompany its annual release. When last week’s Call of Duty: Ghosts trailer debuted at Microsoft’s Xbox One reveal, it didn’t take long for audiences to recognize the game by its many war-shooter tropes and grandiose set pieces.
Now, alone that’s no indictment — underwater sub assaults still have a few more Call of Dutys to go before becoming prosaic — but developer Infinity Ward didn’t help its case by explaining days later that Call of Duty: Ghosts’s “new” graphics engine wasn’t entirely built from the ground up.

COD has a long and storied career. Launching as a PC WW2 first-person shooter, Call of Duty has gone through numerous makeovers and been on just about every system. The series has gone through some serious highs and tragic lows. I’ll be looking at each Call of Duty game, the good the bad, and the ugly."
Vanguard better be at the fkn bottom. Can’t believe ppl haven’t eviscerated that game with all its lacking
Same for me.
I was never huge into Call of Duty, but I sunk a lot of time into WaW.
Both the campaign and the multiplayer are on point. Wouldn't mind a remaster.
I quit on CoD for a long while. Though I'm the odd man out that actually really enjoyed the campaign for WWII, being I got it through Humble monthly way back when.
I agree, The Infinite campaign feels more like it's own thing that they slapped the CoD name on. If it stood on it's own, (sans the CoD name) I think it could have been it's own scifi franchise. And a damn good looking game, to boot. I never bothered to play the multiplayer.
That was one I grabbed for Playstation because it pretty much just came out during the Redbox purge of videogames, and I got it for dirt cheap.
It was great coming home to an update every night, and watching one game eat up almost half my console's memory.
Will get disagrees but Infinite Warfare campaign was really good. Decent story, set pieces were amazing and if it didn't have the CoD game on it I'm sure people would have been more into it. Advanced Warfare was alright too. Titanfall 2 was just 1000 times better than both but I enjoyed them for their campaigns. I literally barely gaf about the story I'm in it for the set pieces and 5 hours of being stoned watching cool nonsense happen if I'm in the mood to play a CoD campaign. If I'm looking for a deep plot I'm gonna go somewhere else.
Ghosts was the worst story-wise though lol that cliffhanger ending was so bs.
Also MW 2019 was sick and is one of the best CoD games in yeeeears not sure why it's so low on this dude's list. Campaign was great, multiplayer was great and Warzone was fun for a while. Over it now but shrugs.
Beat the Vanguard campaign too but I can't even remember a single thing about it other than that it felt like it was 45 minutes long. Might be the most forgettable thing I've ever played lol just fully erased from my brain
Call of Duty multiplayer ranked from worst to best! 2019 is coming to a close and MP1st ranks the best COD multiplayer games this decade.

Wore implementation I've ever seen,.. guess it just does not work all that great on every engine
Agree, but this gives me hope that one day Ray Tracing can be a software based feature and not require some type of proprietary hardware to achieve. Software will always outpace Hardware so it could happen, but I feel like its going to take a lot more time to achieve the same level that RTX has already shown glimpses of so far. Really just waiting for Cyberpunk to see if RTX is actually something viable. I think if anybody can truly showcase RTX Features it would be Projekt Red.
Reshade is not raytracing, its a screen space post processing effect. Thats like calling SSAO "global illumination"
As much as I sh*t on CoD at times, I'm more than likely going to get this game. If only just to see how they make use of next-gen power.
The way I see it, the best way to effectively judge a game is to experience it first-hand.
And who knows, it may be good. I thought the trailer and the game's concept were pretty cool even if the graphical fidelity was underwhelming.
Blah Blah Blah, just make sure the game is good.
Easy if people start seeing a yearly released game with a number go higher and higher they may catch on of the low production values and yearly release scam. That's why you stopped numbering the games after 4 and just went with the sub titles.
Just increase the F*king length of that single player campaign. Thats the only different thing in your games since last 5 years.(besides box art)
I don't see how IW could possibly say this is completely different than the MW games when the freaking 'Ghosts' has the same Modern Warfare-stylized font on the box art.
