The Stig

Some say "Call Of Duty" is great. Others say it is garbage. But the truth is neither is right, nor is either one wrong. The game is only as good as the person playing it feels. If the person despises COD with a passion, and there is nothing you can do to ever change their mind, then they will dislike Ghosts no matter how good it may or may not be. If someone obsesses over COD, than no matter how bad the game could end up being, they will love it unconditionally regardless. Love and hate, are two equal, yet opposite reactions. Two sides of the same coin.... Yin and yang. The greater ones love is for someone or something, there is someone out there who hates it to the same extent the other loves it. Hating a game with a passion only proves that someone else could love the game to the same degree of extreme. No game is perfect, at the end of the day we will all see the game differently. Some will see the game perfect. They would tell you that there is not even ONE problem or glitch with the game. Meanwhile someone else could tell you its unplayable, piece of trash excuse for a game. Every game needs a fan base made up of both love, and hate. Its all about the balance. You have to play the game for yourself. See for yourself whether or not the game is your cup of tea.

I just wounder if it will outdo Grand Theft Auto V. Will it sell more copies, get more pre-orders, or make more money, than GTA 5? We all know just how well a Cod game sells... Lets see if the trend continues. I'll admit Call of Duty Ghosts, does look pretty good... But the question is, will it be good enough?

^ Yes, what he said. Halo 3's engine did not have as advanced Artificial intelligence, audio quality/filters, textures, or Physics as Halo Reach or Halo 4. The number of A.I and vehicles that could be on a map, or on screen at one time, doubled in Halo Reach. But at a compromise... The improved graphics, audio, A.I, Physics, Mechanics, put the game engine as well as the Xbox under a lot more stress and far more wear-and-tear than Halo 3 was capable of. Halo Reach suffers from massive frame rate drops and "Lag" during splitscreen (and in some rare cases, single player) due to the improved engine I mentioned earlier. But the only reason you don't notice it in Halo Reach as much, is because Bungie actually optimized the game to fix the issue. Halo 4, and 343i on the other hand... did not.

No one like change that happens suddenly. The faster things undergo change, the more violent the reaction (Like an Explosion). Put a frog in a pot of boiling hot water and it immediately jumps out... But, put the same frog in the same pot of cold water, and slowly heat up the water till it boils... The frog will boil alive. People are the same way... Give them big change at an instant and they can't handle it. But make very small changes, slowly, over a long enough period of time and they wouldn't even notice.

I concur. From a competitive standpoint. BR starts are rubbish. But from my inner casual perspective... BR Starts are a blast! While BR starts are great fun, they are horrible competitively speaking because they remove the aspect of finding the BR spawns, killing your opponents before they get to them first, and then controlling them so that your opponents cant get one.

Try these fixes first! Don't write the game off just yet... - Install the game to your Hard-drive (If it already is installed, uninstall it and then re-install it.) - Clear some memory from your hard-drive. The more full it is the more it boggs down your games and console.. Thus creating much longer loading times, and the longer it takes for your game to send and receive data to your console followed by the hard-drive. Less stuff on Harddrive, more open lanes for electrical currents to flow freely, the faster everything will be. - Clear your Cache, then re-download the Title Updates. - Download the DLC. - Clean your console and game disc, or replace them with new ones. And lastly make sure your NAT is Open, and that your internet connection is as fast as you can possibly get it. Hard-wiring your console is far better than wireless because it has less delays, less lag, and no interference, and less chance of being hacked.

https://forums.halowaypoint.com/yaf_postst202229_What-would-it-take--Halo-4---1-on-Xbox-Live.aspx <This thread my friend made on Waypoint had some good suggestions. She asked the community of Halo Waypoint what they thought it would take to make Halo 4 (or just Halo in general) Number One on Xbox live... These were their suggestions. (Fun Fact: She told me that 99% of the Responders said that it was to late. That Halo was doomed and could never become number one again. But there was a silver lining... 343i did in fact see the thread, and they heard the suggestions. Most of which said to combine the best of both worlds... Make Halo 5 fun for both Competitive, Non-Competitive and Casuals. Which would mean offering a playlist for both flavors of formula right from the get-go).

True, and its a shame that they could not have been the ones put in charge of Halo. But it is what it is, I guess. We can hope for the best, but prepare for the worst for Halo 5. (Please 343 do not mess up with Halo 5. Offer both the Infinity Slayer experience AND a Classic slayer experience right from the beginning. Offer new content more frequently, create and release fixes and patch's much sooner, and announce all changes made to the game, be it forge, custom games, Multiplayer, Campaign, the games sandbox, or Game Engine, everything and anything. Etc.)

Apple should partner up with Actvision/Treyarch/Infinity Ward.... They have the same style of business and fan bases and would make A LOTA money together. I can see it now... "Buy the new Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 iPhone, and get two zombie themes and avatar awards for your Xbox Live account, Plus a early sneak peak at the all new Call Of Duty: Ghosts 2!"

If only you asked this when GTA Online come out... Whom I kidding, this game is great, and even if it never even got Multiplayer/Online Co-Op it would be still be perfect!

An even better example of how pointless it would be to make all ranged weapons be the same, would be if 343 put in all four variations of the Battle Rifle into Halo 5 multiplayer... Think about having four versions of the same weapon on a map like snowbound! The Halo 2 Demo BR (One shot burst, but still 4SK), The Halo 2 BR, the Halo 3 BR, and Halo 4's BR... What purpose would that serve? Nothing. That's what.

Technically it hasn't quite been a full year yet since Halo 4's release... Remember it came out in November 6th 2012, its only September. We still have the rest of this month, plus all of October, and a little tad of November to go through before it's officially been One Year. But it is close enough to say that its been a year I guess. Anyways on to what you were saying... I agree that 343i is currently unable to properly balance the game. I agree that certain maps are biased towards what team color you are or where you spawn. I agree it took to long for the fixes they did achieve. I agree that 343i is not perfect and needs to fix there game. And I strongly agree that there should have been a beta or at least a trial version or Demo of some sort... But please try to remember it was the first game of a new company that was assembled by the most corrupt and greedy corporation of all of time (Micro$oft). They did Okay (considering), and Halo 4 was a good game... But sadly a mediocre Halo game. Hopefully 343i learned from there mistakes and can pull a miracle out of there @ss, and save this epic franchise from crumbling under the weight of all of 343's failures. Especially now that there is so much competition... And great competition at that. I have faith that 343i can turn it around, and if by some unfortunate event they can not... Halo CE, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo ODST, and Halo Reach aren't going anywhere.

As to my reasoning behind choosing Mew, I choose her because she is only the best. She has the DNA of all Pokemon (Even ones that aren't even created by Nintendo yet), she can transform into a 100% exact perfect clone of any Pokemon. She can learn any and every TM or HM ever to exist, she can fly, teleport, turn invisible, create a force-field, speak human language, and she is an original Pokemon (Gen 1) and an original species not a clone (Like Mewtwo). On-top of all of that she is a Legendary, she is powerful, and to top it off, she is as cute as a button...

I have seen a lot of churches that were horrible. They made you pay money to be a member to their place of worship... But this, "Church" is the "Cooliest" one I have ever seen! Congratulations guys, but its not over yet. Once your at the top, you gotta keep climbing.

Exactly. It would be like having three assault rifles that all look, sound, and feel different, but they do everything the same. Same gun different model design.

11. Getting betrayed by some kid called XxxSn1perPr0Xxx for getting the sniper rifle

Lets just all say we can agree to disagree. Am I right?

As long as we get to play as vulcans and humans and battle the romulans as well as the klingons.
