Summary of this Video Game...
CALL OF DUTY GAME
Let’s Face It…
The buzz of getting HUGE score streaks is awesome!
The problem is that the game has changed and GETTING them can be easier said than done!
Black Ops 2 brings over 15+ multiplayer maps and DLC on the way, new weapons and a new create a class system as well as a ton of other changes!
In essence it is a TOTALLY different game to other Call of Duty titles!
One thing is for sure! There will be A LOT of people getting owned and complaining that it is the new maps and game system…
Well here is the thing:
The game HAS changed and MOST are not prepared!
Until NOW…
This type of Video Game is good for...
In Call of Duty: Ghosts you don't just create a class, you create a soldier, a first for the franchise. In the new Create-A-Soldier system, players can change the physical appearance of their soldier by choosing the head, body type, head-gear and equipment, and for the first time in a Call of Duty game, the player can also choose their gender. With 20,000 possible combinations, this is the most flexible and comprehensive character customization in Call of Duty history.
New dynamic maps are the evolution of multiplayer. They include interactive elements and player triggered events that make the environment evolve as each match goes on. The entire landscape can shift and force players to change tactics and strategies.
Call of Duty: Ghosts introduces new tactical player movements. The new contextual lean system now allows players to lean around obstacles without adding button combinations or fully leaving cover. The new mantling system allows fluid movement over objects, while maintaining momentum. The knee slide allows for a natural transition from sprinting crouching to prone.
Call of Duty: Ghosts delivers over 20 NEW Kill Streaks in Call of Duty: Ghosts - such as Juggernaut Maniac, the Helo Scout, the Vulture and the ODIN Strike. Players can even bring in guard dog Riley, from the single-player campaign, to protect and also to attack enemies. There are also over 30 NEW weapons, including an entirely new weapon class: Marksman Rifles.
I especially liked...
I especially liked the fact that you can Build your team and take up to 6 of them into battle in the all new Squads mode. This mode takes the best parts of the multiplayer experience and allows you to play either solo or cooperatively with the custom soldiers created and leveled up in multiplayer.
The load-out choices you make for your Squad members will directly change the AI behaviour of your squad-mates. Give your soldier a sniper rifle and he'll behave like a sniper, and an SMG guy will be more run and gun.
I didn't like...
i did not like the fact that the impression the game gave me was that Call of Duty: Ghosts is an extraordinary step forward for one of the largest entertainment franchises of all-time. This new chapter in Call of Duty features a new dynamic where players are on the side of a crippled nation fighting not for freedom or liberty, but simply to survive.
Fueling this all new Call of Duty experience, the franchise's new next-gen engine delivers stunning levels of immersion and performance, all while maintaining the speed and fluidity of 60 frames-per-second across all platforms
When I finished playing this Video Game I wanted to...
HONESTLY I WANTED TO START AGAIN OR EVEN JOIN THE ARMY BUT IM TOOO OLD LOL
This Video Game made me feel...
Ten years after a devastating mass event, America’s borders and the balance of global power have changed forever. As what's left of the nation's Special Operations forces, a mysterious group known only as "Ghosts" leads the fight back against a newly emerged, technologically-superior global power.
A New Call of Duty Universe: For the first time in franchise history, players will take on the underdog role with Call of Duty: Ghosts; outnumbered and outgunned, players must fight to reclaim a fallen nation in an intensely personal narrative. Gamers will get to know an entirely new cast of characters and visit locales in a changed world unlike anything seen in Call of Duty before.
The creator of this Video Game...
Cod has come a long way in it's long life. From it's early WW2 versions to it's heyday with Modern Warfare 2 and Black Ops.
The thing is with Cod is that not only has it seemed to have stagnated since those * Golden Years* but it actually seems to have declined. The core gameplay is still there, with great visuals, super smooth frame rates, intuitive controls and epic set pieces, but it all seems so stale now. Like once you've played one Cod you've played them all! The storyline makes little sense, but to be honest is as dull as ditch water anyway. Fortunately the action remains as intense as ever, although even this seems rather linear these days.

When it comes to online gameplay ( which Cod is all about ) then it's fun at times with a good perk system, but it seems more frustrating than ever. The maps are big the snipers are everywhere and it's all about running around and shooting the heck out of people. so skill is required but co- operaration with team mates is pretty much out of the window as you rarely last more than a few seconds unless you camp, which a lot of people seem to do.

so what do I think of Cod? An average game with good bits, but plenty of flaws.
I recommend this Video Game because...

I don't recommend this Video Game because...
Well I could say it is too violent & well As long as people know it is just a game & not go out & impersonate the players in the way of the gun fight & knife throwing blah blah blah .
Further Comments...
I have this game both on Xbox and Wii U, only play it on Wii U since I got it.
Unique Wii U features,
- Off TV play: You can play the entire game including online on gamepad. If you share a tv, click a couple of buttons and you can keep on playing.
- Two player no splitscreen: One player on Gamepad the other on TV, works perfect, even online.
- Map: Online you can have a larger map on the gamepad and other options.
- Control options: You can use the gamepad, pro controller or even Wiimote and nunchuck.

Online there is currently 100k on the leadersboards, you get games on popular modes like TDM instantly.
If you are into the more 'harcore' modes then it is harder to find games, and also no DLC was released on the Wii U so if those are important to you then maybe you would prefer the other versions
