So..CoD:Ghosts.....whats this all about eh!?

 Firstly, can I thank all the people who took the time to read my first blog, and all those who promoted it on Twitter, I really appreciate it! 
I also have a new Twitter account just for the blog which is - @Old_GrumpyGamer








So onto my second subject for discussion, and given the hype, I simply couldn't ignore this weeks MP reveal for CoD Ghosts.

To be fair, this is a personal subject for me, as I have to admit to being a bit of a Infinity Ward fanboy (well, fan-oldtimer!). They have, in my humble opinion, always produced the more rounded game in terms of experience, both cinemtaic/visual and on story line. Yeah OK, so maybe the multiplayer sometimes has issues that we might not all agree on, but lets be fair, which multiplayer doesn't?

My first view of Ghosts, from the 14th August live reveal, was that it seemed to be good ol' IW fayre, with most of the features that we experienced before being employed again.
I personally prefer the near future/current day weapons more than some of the slightly more futuristic weaponary in BO2 and so, all that seems to be to my liking too.
I'm not sure about that bloody dog walking round after me all the time, imagine the amount of dog crap littering the place! Hope they've got pooper scoopers as a side arm!

All in all the small amount of information and videos that we've seen, appear to show that we could be in for our usual experience, so on that score all well and good. However, I've heard that some of the Esports community are concerned that nothing was mentioned about the support that the game will offer their side of the game - I too was surprised this wasn't mentioned, especially given the fanfare that BO2 gave in its reveals especially with CoD Casting and other competitive elements.

They've also removed Death Streaks, and I know that you'll be all HURRAH-ing at that...but how can I get kills now?! :(

My last point is one that bloody narks me something proper! How bad is it that I've already heard people on forums and on Twitter whinging and whining that they'll buy it, but fully expect to hate the game after a short time!
Now don't get me wrong, I can get angry at times with CoD games, but the way some people get wound up by it, and then flatly refuse to play the game online after about 3 months of having the game is plainly ridiculous! No game is EVER going to be perfect, so please young 'uns, just accept that, play the game to have fun, and accept that you'll only have 12 months to wait before you have another one to complain about!

So....thats my second blog done! Spread the word people - and you if you follow me on twitter, you see that I have an AMAZING giveaway going one!! 
SPREAD THE WORD!
