And screenshots are usually doctored in some way to make the game look better than it plays.

Hahaha, if this turns out to be ridiculously good graphics on PC, they might actually help expose the consoles for being underpowered fairly massively. The previous COD releases were far far outdated after MW1.

The only problem I see here is that GTX780 + i7 + 8GB = $1200+ PC, and that's really without a monitor, just a generic case, midrange mobo, PSU that can handle it all, and a moderate HDD.

That, or the game still looks like the total garbage it does on the released videos, and the PC version will just be slightly prettier garbage.

Most of the pre-release footage is from a console because it's easier to demo vs. a PC.

50GB HD space lol, thought the BOPS 8GB was bad enough

hopefully my 660 TI would be good enough even though im sure that 780 is just overkill..

What about 64-bit Windows XP? :(

What about it? :D

Seriously though, I don't see why everyone is so pessimistic about Call of Duty Ghosts on PC..

The fact that they made it DX11 only, native 64 bit, with support for hardware accelerated PhysX and 3D Vision tells me a lot about how they want the game to be received by PC gamers.

Dice's Battlefield series dominates the online FPS genre for PC, but Activision I'm sure wants in on that action.

Probably because their past several efforts have only thumbed their noses at the PC gamers who put them on top to begin with, while catering to the consoles to rake in bigger profits.

I know what the problem with this game is and it's not the engine. Call of Duty first released in 2003 and then Modern Warfare in 2006. We're talking a generation gap of 7-11 years! People who played MW when they were 18-21 are now late 20's and early 30's. How can you possibly not be trying to chase the nostalgia back when you were in your earlier age?

The answer is we're not going to get it back. These games are for the newer generation. Just how we use to love Modern Warfare that was based, and still is , off the Quake 3 engine. So the older generation like myself will buy it thinking it was meant for us, while we play on servers with 15 year olds who blame everything else but the sun for the reason why they lost.

Maybe I just have to come to the realization that I'm old enough to see how ridiculous most games were, and still are.

This should finish off your love of video games. It has gotten pretty close to killing it off for me.

Just the picture alone makes me ashamed to have ever played a video game.

Yep.

Why does this thread have an exclamation point? CoD has bored me for yeeeeeeeeeears now. It's beyond old news.

Professional competitive gaming is a real thing every bit as serious and in depth with skill levels just as high as the NFL or Formula 1. These players get a salary. Get with the times.

Yeah, and they'd get bigger salaries working at McD's.



Lonyo, I am intimidated! That's a lot of mouse lifting.

Anyone else still love the first modern warfare, Cod4:MW?

That game was magnificent and redefined the shooter genre.

I still play it.

and BF2 for that matter.

I still wish Steam had option to permanently delete games from steam literary, COD black ops was the worst purchase I ever made on impulse. I played it literally less than a hour.

Welcome to the age of ever worse optimization to sell ever more powerful hardware for the same or worse graphics. I hope everyone involved in this trend bloody crashes Atari style.

CoD4 was freakin' incredible, and I consider it one of the few truly "great" games from this generation. It's not often you see a game with a great single and multiplayer. Even Yahtzee was impressed with it.

Sadly CoD has been in a turdspiral for so long now everyone has forgotten it was once a great series.
