The Next Call of Duty Is Full of Ghosts

I wish that sentence about Infinity Ward's Call of Duty: Ghosts, the next installment in the crazy popular shooter series, was actually true.

That would have been the best trailer ever, if it was announcing the next Kid Chameleon game.

Instead of an interesting trailer for the most uninteresting game. Should have just gone with male models and splosions instead.

So since they're the Ghosts, does this mean that they'll be fighting the Ghostbusters?

And that makes it 22 games in since the original Call of Duty, which came out in 2003....

good grief...

Mario has 200+ games with his branding in it since the early 80's and Princess Peach still needs to be saved. Zelda has had 30ish and each one has been essentially the same game with a specific game mechanic and art style changed. Nintendo is notorious for this.

Even though the stories are complete Hollywood blockbuster garbage in CoD, at least they are all different Hollywood blockbuster garbage stories.

Well at least they know what their audience digs, Ghost! So they chose the obvious approach: Moar Ghost!

Having said that: I really like the style of that trailer, some fancy ass masks on show.

Until that guy ruined it all:

I wear a mask to show my affinity towards sick skulls broooooooooooo.

In a very funny way! Kudos xD

That could have been a really awesome trailer. It's a shame to show off all of those cool masks, and then end with a jizz-covered beanie, though.

I hope they took cues from Treyarch this time around and attempt something interesting.

You go on about everyone wearing a mask Activision and the dude at 42 seconds isn't even wearing a mask.

I don't know, that white disfigured mask looks pretty neat...and I guess I could be into this, haven't touched a CoD game since MW2 and they seemed to do something right with the BloPS 2 campaign at least. Now if only CoD games would actually get cheaper than 40-60 euros in less than three years, I probably would've bought it by now...

I hope a man in a suit somewhere within Activision looked at it and thought that it was "wicked awesome".

That or the next Call of Duty will have stupid amounts of premium FMV.

Ghost Mask: The action-thriller where you de-mask terrorist faction leaders only to discover they're warlords from ancient eras. Then the real battle begins where you have to fight them on their own turf with only the weapons of their time and ancient ghost-busting technology!

Especially that big white disfigured one.

Honestly, I think this is just Call of Duty franchise giving up on any meaningful story. They don't care anymore. They're welcome to prove me wrong, but every instance of some scary dude in a dumb mask results in sure, some scary dude, but also a dude with absolutely no personality or character to speak of. It's boiling down what's supposed to be a full person to just a wooOOoooh spooky mask.

Why don't they just forget this terrible single player crap and sell a multiplayer only game?

Hipsters are white people who listen to jazz.

I dont listen to jazz and I havent updated my wardrobe or taste in music in the last ten years and this guy's right, fuck modern warfare.

I didnt mind the first Black Ops but things got too stupid in Blops 2 and this to me just looks like Blops 3 Ghost Recon edition. (conceptually at least)

CoD4 was fine, better than 3, and I guess it was pretty novel to get the franchise out of WWII at the time and was the last actual innovation the series has had since. It also marked where the patriotism and war glorification entered the modern era, which is pretty discomfiting indeed.

You never played CoD 4, did you? The heroes of that game were the SAS operatives.

The name made me laugh so hard. This trailer is pretty excruciating. The only games in this series that are really any good are still 1 and 4, the rest just seem kind of blah unless Ice Cube is in the picture. Hopefully this is impressive in some way though.
