That having been said, Call Of Duty Ghosts presents a compelling vision of a future in which the USA has been taken down a peg, and while some missions are as one-note as those in previous COD games, there's more variation here overall. The dialogue that spills from their mouths is also so clangingly bad at times, that one surmises the work of Stephen Gaghan – nominated for an Oscar for the screenplay for the film Traffic and credited as writer here – probably contributed, at most, a plot outline. While emotional connection has its place it's hard here as the characters are slightly unbelievable – being as they are presented as unique, elite soldiers, capable of blowing massive holes in the enemies resources and supply lines while numbering just a handful.

This is a series that banked its reputation on the twin punch of a deep multiplayer and a campaign where shock and awe is the order of the day. One of the themes of Ghosts, we've been told, is the importance of family, but frankly, this is territory COD should never be aiming for. After he and his brother Hesh pick their way through the rubble of south California for a bit, they stumble across an elite cadre of soldiers known as the Ghosts and it's not long before both Hesh and Logan join their ranks. The player takes on the role of a soldier named Logan who patrols what's left of the California border after San Diego was reduced to a mass of craters. The US, far from being a military hegemony, is now on the back foot with invaders pouring through its southern and coastal borders.
The modern weapons, equipment and military tech are still present and correct, but the world of Ghosts is one where the status of United States as a superpower has been obliterated by an attack from a unified South American Federation.
Apparently the plot for Call of Duty Ghosts began as Modern Warfare 4, but flowered into what exists now. It's to the developer's credit then, that it takes some necessary risks with Activision's flagship shooter IP. Infinity Ward has to be feeling the pressure. Fans line up around blocks, millions of units are shifted and loads of people call in sick to work the day after the latest Call Of Duty comes out.Ĭall Of Duty: Ghosts is the sixth game released since Call Of Duty 4 Modern Warfare transformed COD into a record-breaking and world-shaking gaming franchise. Every successive entry in this series lands with the impact of a blockbuster film or a shiny new device from Apple. By now, Call Of Duty isn't just a gaming franchise, it's an event.
