Are Ghosts DLC Reboot Maps Cheating Fans

All Roads lead to Brazil it seems. Not only is the World Cup visiting the greatest advert for Footballing nation that has ever kicked a football, but now it seems to be the destination for Call of Duty Ghosts Fans as well.

It seems that by paying £39.99 for a season pass this is not enough to help developers produce enough fresh new content to satisfy players.

Call of Duty Ghosts DLC pack 3, has again gone to the previous games for inspiration and this time is transporting players back to Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 and the excellent Favela.

There is only so much they can do. I think they have been good to tell people in press releases which maps are being redone and they have done a lot with the bonus stuff such as Michael Myers, The Predator, and such to mix things up.

URNightmare3654d ago

I like what they've done with the Predator and Michael Myers. What I don't like is the way they sell these other "new" maps with that spinning word "inspired". I believe those maps inspired in old maps should be free.

Overall they've done a good job with this game trying to change things up a little bit. I hadn't spent so much time in a COD since World at War. I also liked the Extinction mode, I could never get into the zombies mode for some reason.

Blasphemy3654d ago

if you paying someone for a service then they should do it. if your okay with getting scammed then keep on paying for the dlc.

Garethvk3654d ago

How are fans being cheated? They are telling people in advance what the maps are and which ones are remodels. You know that each DLC will have remodeled maps so you can either buy a season pass and expect it or buy them after they release. It is not like they promise new maps that are fully original and bait and switch the public.

FamilyGuy3654d ago

All re-skinned maps should be given out free as a fan service. These lazy re-skins are the worst part about paying for map packs.

Ghosts has provided more fresh DLC content than any other CoD.

there is only 1 map remake. big deal...Favela was one of the best maps in mw2.

Goro3654d ago

There's also a remake of Scrapyard from MW2 and a remake of Dome from MW3.

trywizardo3654d ago

the whole series has been on recycle loop since MW1 whether its for gameplay or maps ...

MasterD9193654d ago

They're milking their timelines to say the least. We will see a WW2 COD game again and eventually a truly cyber-futuristic COD. I think those are the only games that will peak my interest in the series again- otherwise, it's modern combat + some random mode game that isn't too great from here on out.

Change isn't always bad. In COD's case it's necessary. They've released a handful of games that damn near look and play like each other. Not good. Can you imagine 8 or 9 games like Advanced Warfare down the line? This could be an endless cycle for decades!

hellzsupernova3654d ago

I was initial annoyed but turns out it is just one map plus the fans don't seem to mind. As long as you keep your fans happy that's the main thing.

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

Minimoth834d ago

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

KyRo834d ago

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

XbladeTeddy834d ago

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

MadLad834d 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.

TheLigX834d ago

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

Yppupdam834d 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.

victorMaje834d ago

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

MadLad833d 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.

Amplitude834d ago (Edited 834d 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

MarkyMark891795d ago (Edited 1795d 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.

zeal0us1795d ago

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

starchild1795d ago

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

zeal0us1795d ago

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

isarai1795d ago

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