Here’s a look at the broken spawn system in ‘Call of Duty: Ghosts’

StickSkills writes, "While each entry in the Call of Duty series has a two-year development cycle, there always seems to be an issue with the spawn system. While certain iterations have had it worse than others, the spawn system in Call of Duty: Ghosts has been rather atrocious so far."

Next-gen does not need this crap.

C-H-E-F3837d ago

I think i'm going to throw a retailer 60$ for bf4 to help support the cause. This is ridiculous!!

CynicalKelly3837d ago

You might want to look up things about BF4 first. It's not exactly working itself.

C-H-E-F3837d ago (Edited 3837d ago )

Yeah, that's why I was going to hold of on my purchase until december-january, but sheeesh this video made me so mad got me thinking crazy. lOl

Spawn Campers are mainly a non issue on Ghost (play all day since launch)

Now to be honest and fair Search and Rescue mode does bring out the spawn campers. But its rare and only in big levels where they shoot from a distance.

IW actually did a descent job trying to eliminate jerks
These idiots on tape are the jerks I hate.

InTheLab3837d ago

Watches a video of the ridiculous spawns then reads this....

"Spawn Campers are mainly a non issue on Ghost (play all day since launch) "

Dude...you just saw it. Even casuals are complaining about the spawns. Two non gamer friends of mine randomly bitch about the spawns in this game.

Your denial is the reason why it will never be fixed...

Oschino19073837d ago (Edited 3837d ago )

He plays since launch everyday and has rarely come across spawn camping except for when people purposely go to modes just to attempt spawn camps.

A video of someone trying to do it and because casuals and your "non gamer" friends complain it must be rampant and frequent.

First hand experience vs hearsay on the net and non gamer friends.... hmmmmmmm which has more credibility???

Maybe some of you pathetic hating trolls should watch some videos from popular and respected COD players if you want real info and not just latch onto any bs claim some pissed off person makes.

Funny how a majority of those hating COD either don't play it, haven't played this one and never intend to. Don't you guys have games to play or is finding reasons to bash and hate COD the only game you play anymore.

Any one can pick apart any games for flaws but my god, COD trolls take it to another level of ignorance and hypocrisy. If you don't play it or like it why even bother clicking the article unless you really are a pathetic sad excuse for a gamer.

There is very little honor in gaming anymore, thankfully I have good online friends that aren't tools and trolls trying to ruin others experiences or demean others for their gaming choices.

310dodo3837d ago

my denial?
have you even played the game?

I do, I play it like 3 hours a day since launch.
have never had a spawn camp problem.

these guys on video went out of there way to spawn camp...and Im in denial?

go play the game and stop hating on COD because its "cool" to do so.

InTheLab3836d ago

I've played...

CoD Pc
CoD BR1 ps2
CoD UO ps2
CoD FA ps2
CoD 2 X360
CoD3 PS3
CoD 4mw X360/PS3/Pc
CoD W@W x360
CoD W@W FF on PS2
CoD MW2 X360
CoD Black Ops PS3
CoD MW3 PS3
CoD Black Ops 2 X360/PS3

And no I don't own or plan on owning Ghosts but I have years of experience with CoD and I can tell you that broken spawns are not exclusive to ghosts or any particular map or game type.

If you have the experience I have with the franchise, I'd might believe you if you said this is just dicks being dicks but I'm sure you haven't played as much as I have or logged in the countless hours on multiple platforms.

There's nothing you can tell me about CoD. I know CoD and I know the spawns for the last 4 games have been broken...particularly in MW3 and the first Black Ops. Not as bad on MW2 but bad in comparison to most other shooters.

So no I don't have to own the same damn game we've all been playing for over 10 years. You're fooling yourself if you think Ghosts is any different from the very broken MW3 and Black Ops 1.....especially with evidence right in front of you.

Fanboys....sheesh..

310dodo3836d ago (Edited 3836d ago )

didnt read your essay

but if you dont care about Ghost, why write out an article responding to me?

you must be one of those fools who hates COD all of a sudden hahah

peace

amnalehu3837d ago

Broken game gets almost a 9; Knack get a 5 and change because the editor wasn't impressed and didn't like/understand the plot.

Swiggins3837d ago

It's also because Knack is a terrible game...I've played it....it's boring.

CoD, as terrible as it might be, is at least marginally entertaining in some regard.

boldscot3837d ago

More than likely had a score over 8 before the game was even played. Game journalism is a joke these days.

miklo843837d ago

I hate the spawn system. So done with call of duty. Whatevs, hit me up on xbox if you wanna play with successful spawn traps. J/k, but seriously hit me up.

blahblah1233837d ago

Spawn camping has been in every single CoD multiplayer game ever made, people just have very poor memories. In some fairness spawn camping is basically the objective in some Battlefield 3 modes. You just push a team back far enough like in the Metro subway and fire away until the music comes up and flash, you win!

All Call of Duty Games Ranked from Worst to Best

BLG writes: "Call of Duty has to be the most recognizable franchise on the planet. They didn’t get that way by only making a handful of games.

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

Minimoth819d ago

Yeah, it's close to the bottom. There are a couple of worse ones. Infinite Warfare definitely deserves its place.

KyRo819d ago

There's a number a lot worse than Vangaurd. It's also a lot better than that car crash Treyarch released before it.

XbladeTeddy819d ago

World at War is my favourite. Didn't know the N-Gage had a Call of Duty.

MadLad819d ago

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.

TheLigX819d ago

I really enjoyed the Infinite campaign. Multiplayer... not so much.

Yppupdam819d ago

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.

victorMaje819d ago

MW 2019 apart from the desastrous file sizes is way better than AW.

MadLad818d ago

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.

Amplitude819d ago (Edited 819d ago )

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

Wore implementation I've ever seen,.. guess it just does not work all that great on every engine

MarkyMark891780d ago (Edited 1780d ago )

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.

zeal0us1780d ago

Too bad it doesn't make Mankind Divided a better game.

starchild1780d ago

It doesn't need to, the game was already fantastic, imo.

zeal0us1780d ago

Human Revolution was a better game and not to mention longer.

isarai1780d ago

Reshade is not raytracing, its a screen space post processing effect. Thats like calling SSAO "global illumination"
