Fidel Castro wasn’t really a ruthless dictator, so much as framed that way by the US and every capitalist nation in the world. Either way, this is a nice obituary for a franchise Microsoft will surely murder. So much nostalgia for the early COD games (these are early for me), the market already feels a little over saturated nowadays, but these were fantastic and unique in their time. Thanks!
Ghosts is far from perfect but it will always hold a special place in my heart. It's no coincidence that even the new trilogy pays tribute to some of the cool moments in there. Also, the new perk system, Extinction, the Michael Myers and Predator maps... all awesome
it was a different COD, and looking back now it was pretty decent. I’d rather have a Ghosts sequel than a infinite warfare sequel or something like that
@@ketomine. I would pay good money for an Infinite Warfare sequel, but only as a fully single-player game, as that was the best aspect of the game and clearly the one devs had the most passion for
It would be if the story and game were a bit better. I did enjoy the game’s campaign for what it was but I know it could be better. It’s just the hate this game got was understandable but also a bit too much at the same time.
@@mr.nobody2858I agree with you completely I liked the characters and obviously Riley plus I would like to see a sequel were hesh is the main character on a path for vengeance to try kill roak and save his brother could have a huge battle between Logan and hesh and even have the ghosts lose would be cool playing a cod game we’re we don’t actually succeed in taken out our target
The extinction mode was really fun and unique. I remember I’d go over to my cousins house and play the free level over and over again. I hope it makes an appearance in other cod games as it had interesting lore, enemies and was unique to the zombies.
Keegan was the shit in this game. He just had the most swag. Im 100% certain they wanted him to be Simon Riley but couldnt get him for obvious reasons. I aint even mad about it tho
Rorke is perhaps my favorite villain in cod. Makarov may have the fear and terror, Irons the tech, the frozen forest the frozen forest. But it’s the fact that Rorke wears nothing no tactical gear he doesn’t hide, he seems to have a deep drive to see you succeed many times he could’ve ended you but he chooses not to. Often he himself pushes you to try and defeat him, it’s interesting. A man who’s so lost he doesn’t care and sees you as a replacement
which is why at the end of it all Rorke still wins and drags you off to make into the next him so a sequel would've been so epic to see perhaps even having us have to kill this games protagonist
Another great thing in the first cutscene is that, besides the black and white bullets, because the story is being told by Elias and the cutscene reflects it. The American soldiers are shown as people, because Elias knew them and had a connection with them. The enemies on the other hand, are shown as black blocks barely resembling a human.
I hate to hear people complain so much about ghost, mainly because its a game i love. I don't really play games for the multiplayer experience, but the single player lore experience, and Ghosts had one of the better campaigns. It left me hoping for a second ghost game one day, and continue the story.
one of the things i really appreciate is that the after crash stealth level is one of the only times in COD at that point where the mission is possible to go fully undetected basically every previous stealth mission makes you go loud at some point or just forces the enemies to find you so its cool that you can go full ninja if you do it right
CoD Ghost holds a special place in my memory as a kid playing these campaigns with my dad. From Gears of War to Halo, we would play campaigns when they came out and talk about them together. Making little theories and wondering if they would continue. I remember playing Ghost and having an absolute blast, so absorbed into the story even if it isnt the best by mosts standards (mine included). But i saw the potential for it to be a series like MW but it lost its way because of everyhting around it. I would love to know what happened to the brothers and there was a lot of potential. Glad you made a video, even with its harsh truths. I like to come back to this campaign and enjoy the fun gameplay from it and the story beats. Hopefully some will pick it up if they havent and have a blast just like i do :)
19:03 With most military working dogs, they actually out rank there handler(to prevent miss treatment) so saving Riley isn't just saving the good boy, but also saving your superior.
Nobody should talk about it. No significance, cause nothing happened afterwards. He survived stuff he never could have, probably just the main character having a fever dream. Ghosts ends at the beach, watching odin ripping everything to shreds.
Ghosts is trash, sorry. Ugly graphics, bad maps, terrible weapon balance, and weak, uninteresting streaks. The DLC field orders should’ve been streaks like the Y-8 Gunship. Super disappointing game

Fun fact about the ending, you can spin around 180 to face tbe opposite wall, and fire the gun, it will very quickly spin you back around to shoot him in the chest
Bro did this game dirty. Talked about how there was nothing in the second half of the game while ignoring the single most important story element in the entire game that happened at the end. Also, he talked about all the different levels and their design, then topped it off with "Meh." Like, my guy, this campaign had some of the most varied levels I've ever seen, and made you feel like an absolute force of nature by its conclusion. Those stealth missions were top notch. Saving grace for this review is that he loved the bestest boy, Riley. Not even touching the multiplayer, which was easily my favorite of the entire series, though I know a lot of people didn't like it, this campaign had less of a story than the OG Modern Warfare series, but absolutely made up for it in gameplay and level design. Plus, the end was a setup for a sequel that could be an absolute banger if done well. This was still the era of the silent COD protagonist, but it was very clear for the first time when playing this campaign that this protagonist needed a voice. This was a much more personal story and needed the personal touch and emotions from the main character. This game needs a sequel and they need to give Logan a voice. Also, Riley needs to be in the game again.
The campaign was fine at best until the ending. Rourke should have been dead. If he didn't plot armour his way with his "Tis but a flesh wound" nonsense, I would see Ghosts in a much better light. But he didn't die. And thus, the campaign is bad. Got stabbed shot stabbed and was underwater for like 4 minutes with no breathing apparatus. Rourke was deader than dead.
The best cods are almost always your first cod’s. Cod 4 and WaW and MW2 (cod 6) will always be the best for me and so so hard to beat but I’m well aware that it probably mostly down to nostalgia ❤
Feel bad for you bro. CoD Ghosts is the worse CoD right next to AW and Vanguard. Even infinite Warfare is better. There’s too much bad stuff about this game

As somebody who played the competitive multiplayer for that I feel like no one can go through how great that game was featuring the servers have been shut down for years
Campaign? An amazing new twist and story, Extinction? Fantastic and fun zombies alternative. Multiplayer? Bad but the killstreaks were pretty cool and and the special map changers were awesome. An amazing game that is overshadowed by hate simply because it's mulitplayer was bad. Also the badass Eminen song to come out of it
Multiplayer is what keeps players playing for years on end, not a CoD Campaign. Extinction is nowhere the level of zombies and it’s too grindy. Halo missions have more replayability with good enemy variety and skull modifiers.
@@hachelyd_i3232 Extinction you actually had a goal you had to achieve and the classes you had as well as the optional objectives you could do to get upgrade points to upgrade you character made it so it wasn't the same old "Kill zombie, buy gun, kill zombie, buy perk, find power, kill zombie, pack gun, kill zombie.
12:39 With all it's flaws I love COD Ghost. But when I play this scenario the first time and being a venezuelan myself I couldn't stop laughing, specially with the Dam part xd It's like so surreal for me
Infinity Ward is always the best with campaigns! Using the Helo Pilot and Loki. And an actually interesting enemy with the Federation! And if you actually listen to the intel, Rorke is just a pawn of the guy who actually runs the federation, and it’s by his orders that your MC is to be taken alive for switching sides.
As someome that plays CoD mainly for the stories, thank you for crediting the campaigns, as they are often dismissed or given little thought, or at least that's the perveying feeling. And I always thought, despite being one of many mute protagonists, Logan was very well characterized, he'd follow David to the ends of the earth, and if the sequel had happened, I know his love for David would've broken whatever conditioning Rorke put him through. Great video, thank you for covering Ghosts
This makes me want to replay the campaign. I loved it so much, the whole game really. This was the first cod campaign I played where I really cared and was able to understand the game’s story completely. I absolutely loved it, same with the multiplayer.
@@SimbaChar nothing, I was just pretty young when this game came out so before then I didn’t really understand (or care really) what was going on in the story all that much.
@@SimbaChar yeah that’s true, honestly I’d probably still like it now. But it’d be hard for me not to like it since like I said it was the first one I really understood lol.
@@cadenmelvin5438 Yeah I 100% get what you mean. I have a similar opinion of Far Cry 2. Its very split in the fanbase. Either people think its terrible or its your favourite Far Cry game. So respect for loving what you love. I just came from the perspective where I started with CoD 4 when I was like 7 or 8 and played every CoD since that. And going from BO2 to Ghosts just seemed very underwhelming, especially because of how great BO2 is. Ghosts is NOT a bad game at all. Just in the context of all the previous games in the series, it was just not very good at the time. It is still a solid boots-on-ground CoD title and it has a fanbase so it will always be remembered.
Its sad that there is only about 200 people at a time in Ghosts. Someone needs to remake it or something. Maybe just a remaster. We just need a new version so this game gets popular again.
I loved this game and I’ll die on the hill that this campaign is on par with MW and blops. Federation Day and Clockwork are THE ghost missions this games deserves a sequel.
i have been WAITING for this one!! ghosts is a game that i played when i was younger, and thus didn’t understand that it was a game that i wasn’t supposed to enjoy. the missions are solid, the ghosts themselves are all great (you’ve got the voice actors of reyes from IW and TOMMY MILLER from tlou!), the ending is good and still makes me long for a sequel 10 years later. it definitely didn’t deserve the pure hatred that it received, there are a plethora of other COD games that deserve the backlash more than this one.
Ghosts was hated on, but I remember getting that game a couple months after boot camp and playing with my buddy in the barracks before going home for Christmas leave. We played all night until it was time to go to the airport. I know it wasn’t great as a game, but as a memory…
The thing that I liked the most in the multiplayer, is the unique stuff with the maps. For example: if you shoot the tree in the prison map, it falls and creates a "bridge". In the Las Vegas map you can get a killstreak by blowing up the ghost simbol on the truck, blowing up parts of the environment. In the tremor map you can push the dumpsters, on the train station you can close doors. You can close the big gate of the castle. The little town is getting shot at by mortars. And last but not least, my favorite. In the tank factory there's a killstreak where everything goes to sh*t and there's smoke everywhere, and in the stadium if you get a killstreak a rocket from LOKI or ODIN hits the map, killing everyone and then the whole map changes. Ect. I love it so much. AW tried this too with unique killstreaks like the railgun on top of the dam. The AA gun at the Golden Gate Bridge etc, which was cool but not as cool as in Ghosts
This was the first COD game i ever played and will forever be my absolute favorite. I loved it so much and i will never forget playing the multiplayer or survival modes with my best friend when we were younger. I miss it. Very disappointed it never got a sequel, one can wish tho
This game will always have a special place in my heart due to the fact that this is the game where I met my best friends who have given me some of my favourite moments in my life.
I just bought the game on Steam because I wanted to relive the campaign... platinumed it in 3 days and yup even after almost 10 years it's still one of my favorite CoD campaigns. We need CoD Ghosts 2 to round out the story. People really talked this game down too much imo, it's by far not a bad game and I love the style and some of the gameplay elements they choose.
This was the first game I played on PS4 and while I wasn't crazy about it, I did like the Dam mission, the final Train mission and of course Riley. I do wish the game was a prequel story about Ghost from MW2 though!
I deffo have first COD game pre order bias, but this was the first COD I played for the entire year along with all my friends, so deserving of a sequel and the fact we have had about 6 different Black Ops and MW games since this came out pains me. We deserve a Ghosts 2.
it is a bit saddening despite me liking MW 2019 and Cold War, because it may be a bit before COD devs try anything new because the things they made that were new didn't do well critcally, and suffer from being released at the wrong time, at least, Ghosts and Infinite Warfare, even if the quality wasn't the best for Ghosts
At 18:40 , you can prevent Elias from getting shot. You just got to really spam the shit out of your F key or square until rorke takes the gun back and hits you.
Fun fact: “hesh” also means high explosive squash head which is a tank round, hesh in game can be very explosive especially when seeing rourke killing elias
Always love your videos! A quick thing, 'new engine' is always a buzzword in game marketing but it means very, very little. A new engine (in theory) means it can handle more effects. It doesn't add anything, it just relaxes the restrictions on the devs. The slide introduced in Ghosts is completely possible in the old engine. It was just a new idea, I would expect to make the movement feel a little more advanced than it's predecessors.
"wHat aBoUt tHe cLiFf hAnGeR aT tHe eNd??" *Ghost was introduced in the game cod* *warfare remake, MW3 remake... if cod ghosts* *wasn't made, then there's no point putting* *ghost in the damn remakes.* (The real ghost died by the hands of General Shepard... which makes it more messed up.)
this was one of my first COD games, i couldn’t give a crap about the story, but the missions were fun and entertaining, thats all i could give a crap about, a ton of variety really made it fun for me
20:18 Norse Loki, unlike Marvel Loki, isn’t the son of Odin and brother to Thor, Loki is “Technically” Thor’s Uncle. In mythology Odin and Loki are blood brothers. That’s why dispite being both a Johtin, trickster, and pain in the everything he’s allowed to hang out with the other gods in Asgard.
Ngl… despite criticism of multiplayer. The single player campaign and lore were missed out, and it was really good! Personally, a lot darker than MW OG series.
Ghosts will always be held dearly close in my heart because it was the first COD I'd ever played and probably the only video game where I was on the edge of my seat at the end cutscene (at the time). The only reason I even got further involved with the franchise was because I had waited desperately for a sequel for years. Of course, I realize its flaws, but it was new and refreshing for an immature gamer like me.
I love this game. My little brother and I spent hours at a time playing against each other, him with more low profile builds and myself with a more run and gun style.
I am so happy to see that I am not the only one who wants to see CoD Ghosts 2. Call of Duty: Ghosts is, by far, my favorite Call of Duty game ever. The multiplayer may have not been as good as some of the other games’ , but I freaking love the campaign, so much so that I have replayed the campaign God only knows how many times, and I even ended up being a Ghost for Halloween one year. Freakin’ awesome!!! Also, can I get a like for Riley? He’s a good boy! 😁
The weird thing for me about this game is whenever I play regular team deathmatch and get killed, the entire HUD disappears, and so whenever I die it feels like the match is over.
Another game series that would be really cool to see are the yakuza games the story in the games are about 20-25 hours long and they are just so badass (and don’t forget the karaoke)
In a German let's play (gametube) they said about this game: "Man, they're so good at storytelling, if only they had a story to tell" and that pretty much hit the nail on it's head for me. The way they present everything in this campaign is still mostly excellent, but there is just very little to work with.
The bombardment isn’t missiles, they are kinetic rods that pick up energy as they fall through the atmosphere. This technicality is why it’s not illegal to have them in space.
This game was the shit when it came out. I seriously never understood why people hated on it so much when it had so much to offer. A pretty decent campaign, an awesome aliens mode as opposed to zombies, the multiplayer killstreaks and maps and extra content were all classic and enjoyable. They had freaking Snoop Dogg as an announcer and Eminem did a track and music video for the game too. It was a pretty good CoD game, even by today's standards. If Ghosts came out this year with modern graphics and Warzone tacked onto it, everyone would love it.
This was my first COD game and it’s special to me. It was mine blowing for me. It pretty much had all the kinds of missions I could ask for lol. I’m glad I’m not the only one who loves this game. Not saying it the best but my opinion and my favorite.
Ghosts 2 needs to be made the story can easily follow the cliffhanger both Hesh and Logan working on both sides Hesh Good Logan Bad as Hesh encounters Logan now working for Rorke after the end of Ghosts and Hesh tries to save his brother from Rorke

An amazing game that is overshadowed by hate simply because it's mulitplayer was bad. Also the badass Eminen song to come out of it
I loved the story and lore. Thought it was a nice twist to the red dawn type story.
Multiplayer is what keeps players playing for years on end, not a CoD Campaign. Extinction is nowhere the level of zombies and it’s too grindy. Halo missions have more replayability with good enemy variety and skull modifiers.
@@hachelyd_i3232 Extinction you actually had a goal you had to achieve and the classes you had as well as the optional objectives you could do to get upgrade points to upgrade you character made it so it wasn't the same old "Kill zombie, buy gun, kill zombie, buy perk, find power, kill zombie, pack gun, kill zombie.
12:39 With all it's flaws I love COD Ghost. But when I play this scenario the first time and being a venezuelan myself I couldn't stop laughing, specially with the Dam part xd It's like so surreal for me
Infinity Ward is always the best with campaigns!
Using the Helo Pilot and Loki.
And an actually interesting enemy with the Federation!
And if you actually listen to the intel, Rorke is just a pawn of the guy who actually runs the federation, and it’s by his orders that your MC is to be taken alive for switching sides.
As someome that plays CoD mainly for the stories, thank you for crediting the campaigns, as they are often dismissed or given little thought, or at least that's the perveying feeling. And I always thought, despite being one of many mute protagonists, Logan was very well characterized, he'd follow David to the ends of the earth, and if the sequel had happened, I know his love for David would've broken whatever conditioning Rorke put him through. Great video, thank you for covering Ghosts
This makes me want to replay the campaign. I loved it so much, the whole game really. This was the first cod campaign I played where I really cared and was able to understand the game’s story completely. I absolutely loved it, same with the multiplayer.
What's hard to understand about any of the other campaigns?
@@SimbaChar nothing, I was just pretty young when this game came out so before then I didn’t really understand (or care really) what was going on in the story all that much.
@@cadenmelvin5438 ah fair, that makes sense. Everyone I see defending this game was a kid when they played it.
@@SimbaChar yeah that’s true, honestly I’d probably still like it now. But it’d be hard for me not to like it since like I said it was the first one I really understood lol.
@@cadenmelvin5438 Yeah I 100% get what you mean. I have a similar opinion of Far Cry 2. Its very split in the fanbase. Either people think its terrible or its your favourite Far Cry game. So respect for loving what you love.
I just came from the perspective where I started with CoD 4 when I was like 7 or 8 and played every CoD since that. And going from BO2 to Ghosts just seemed very underwhelming, especially because of how great BO2 is.
Ghosts is NOT a bad game at all. Just in the context of all the previous games in the series, it was just not very good at the time. It is still a solid boots-on-ground CoD title and it has a fanbase so it will always be remembered.
I loved ghosts campaign it set up a sequel but im sad it never got one
“Dammit! I could think of some clone troopers who would be mad right now.”
Underrated line
Its sad that there is only about 200 people at a time in Ghosts. Someone needs to remake it or something. Maybe just a remaster. We just need a new version so this game gets popular again.
I still play extinction. That shits hella fun and unique, multiplayer is pretty cool too with the unique specs
I loved this game and I’ll die on the hill that this campaign is on par with MW and blops. Federation Day and Clockwork are THE ghost missions this games deserves a sequel.
i have been WAITING for this one!! ghosts is a game that i played when i was younger, and thus didn’t understand that it was a game that i wasn’t supposed to enjoy. the missions are solid, the ghosts themselves are all great (you’ve got the voice actors of reyes from IW and TOMMY MILLER from tlou!), the ending is good and still makes me long for a sequel 10 years later. it definitely didn’t deserve the pure hatred that it received, there are a plethora of other COD games that deserve the backlash more than this one.
Ghosts was hated on, but I remember getting that game a couple months after boot camp and playing with my buddy in the barracks before going home for Christmas leave. We played all night until it was time to go to the airport. I know it wasn’t great as a game, but as a memory…
this was always one of my favorite cods for some reason
The thing that I liked the most in the multiplayer, is the unique stuff with the maps. For example: if you shoot the tree in the prison map, it falls and creates a "bridge". In the Las Vegas map you can get a killstreak by blowing up the ghost simbol on the truck, blowing up parts of the environment. In the tremor map you can push the dumpsters, on the train station you can close doors. You can close the big gate of the castle. The little town is getting shot at by mortars. And last but not least, my favorite. In the tank factory there's a killstreak where everything goes to sh*t and there's smoke everywhere, and in the stadium if you get a killstreak a rocket from LOKI or ODIN hits the map, killing everyone and then the whole map changes. Ect. I love it so much.
AW tried this too with unique killstreaks like the railgun on top of the dam. The AA gun at the Golden Gate Bridge etc, which was cool but not as cool as in Ghosts
It is a SIN that you didn't include Ajax flipping him off
Let's GO GHOSTS IS AWESOME AND UNDERRATED. Man. This game was good
One of my favorite cod campaigns! They could’ve done so much with the Walker family had there been a sequel! Thank you for this video🙏🏾
This was the first COD game i ever played and will forever be my absolute favorite. I loved it so much and i will never forget playing the multiplayer or survival modes with my best friend when we were younger. I miss it. Very disappointed it never got a sequel, one can wish tho
This game will always have a special place in my heart due to the fact that this is the game where I met my best friends who have given me some of my favourite moments in my life.
one of my fav cods OAT. granted i didn’t play all of the cods growing up. but next to mw3 and bo2, it holds a special spot in my heart
I just bought the game on Steam because I wanted to relive the campaign... platinumed it in 3 days and yup even after almost 10 years it's still one of my favorite CoD campaigns.
We need CoD Ghosts 2 to round out the story. People really talked this game down too much imo, it's by far not a bad game and I love the style and some of the gameplay elements they choose.
@noob4head preach! We need a sequel
This was the first game I played on PS4 and while I wasn't crazy about it, I did like the Dam mission, the final Train mission and of course Riley. I do wish the game was a prequel story about Ghost from MW2 though!
One of my favourite cods of all time i always remembered the first cut scenei always thought the man that got shot looked like milk. 😂😂
I deffo have first COD game pre order bias, but this was the first COD I played for the entire year along with all my friends, so deserving of a sequel and the fact we have had about 6 different Black Ops and MW games since this came out pains me. We deserve a Ghosts 2.
we don’t need a ghosts 2
@@marbl3d45 ghosts 2 doesn’t deserve you.
it is a bit saddening despite me liking MW 2019 and Cold War, because it may be a bit before COD devs try anything new because the things they made that were new didn't do well critcally, and suffer from being released at the wrong time, at least, Ghosts and Infinite Warfare, even if the quality wasn't the best for Ghosts
@@defenderofminorities3056says the guy who likes his own comment
@marbl3d45 nah let's just remaster mw a couple of more times
At 18:40 , you can prevent Elias from getting shot. You just got to really spam the shit out of your F key or square until rorke takes the gun back and hits you.
Fun fact: “hesh” also means high explosive squash head which is a tank round, hesh in game can be very explosive especially when seeing rourke killing elias
1:29
A specific cutscene in MW2: *"Weeell, not making any promises buuuut...."*
Always love your videos!
A quick thing, 'new engine' is always a buzzword in game marketing but it means very, very little. A new engine (in theory) means it can handle more effects. It doesn't add anything, it just relaxes the restrictions on the devs.
The slide introduced in Ghosts is completely possible in the old engine. It was just a new idea, I would expect to make the movement feel a little more advanced than it's predecessors.
The opening space mission made me happy. Having a Baker save the day. Sure, I died but damned if I didn't go out like a hero.
I love seeing 3 commercials before you even broach the prologue. So fun living in an age of schills and adverts.
"wHat aBoUt tHe cLiFf hAnGeR aT tHe eNd??"
*Ghost was introduced in the game cod* *warfare remake, MW3 remake... if cod ghosts* *wasn't made, then there's no point putting* *ghost in the damn remakes.* (The real ghost died by the hands of General Shepard... which makes it more messed up.)
One of my favourites. Only played it once like 7 years ago but I remember it more fondly than the others. I should buy a copy
this was one of my first COD games, i couldn’t give a crap about the story, but the missions were fun and entertaining, thats all i could give a crap about, a ton of variety really made it fun for me
20:18 Norse Loki, unlike Marvel Loki, isn’t the son of Odin and brother to Thor, Loki is “Technically” Thor’s Uncle. In mythology Odin and Loki are blood brothers. That’s why dispite being both a Johtin, trickster, and pain in the everything he’s allowed to hang out with the other gods in Asgard.
Ngl… despite criticism of multiplayer. The single player campaign and lore were missed out, and it was really good! Personally, a lot darker than MW OG series.
17:47
*First of all, how dare you.*
Ghosts will always be held dearly close in my heart because it was the first COD I'd ever played and probably the only video game where I was on the edge of my seat at the end cutscene (at the time). The only reason I even got further involved with the franchise was because I had waited desperately for a sequel for years. Of course, I realize its flaws, but it was new and refreshing for an immature gamer like me.
“I’ve been looking forward to this”
“It’s just not something you can afford to do all in a movie”
Fast & Furious: Hold my beer
10:05 heheh, pretty sure that's a Resident Evil 7 reference and I love it
When I was younger I loved this game without knowing that it is disliked by the community
I still think that extinction was a hidden gem
I've always liked this game also still annoyed about never getting a conclusion to the cliffhanger
Great to see the sudden rise of the popularity of the underrated Ghost
I love this game. My little brother and I spent hours at a time playing against each other, him with more low profile builds and myself with a more run and gun style.
whats the title of the track at 8:53 im making a plalist and that kinda rocks
Campaign is a lot of fun. MP is fun too
5:40 space stations are definitely bulletproof things flying in space fly with out 10x the power of the strongest anti material rifles we have today
I am so happy to see that I am not the only one who wants to see CoD Ghosts 2. Call of Duty: Ghosts is, by far, my favorite Call of Duty game ever. The multiplayer may have not been as good as some of the other games’ , but I freaking love the campaign, so much so that I have replayed the campaign God only knows how many times, and I even ended up being a Ghost for Halloween one year. Freakin’ awesome!!! Also, can I get a like for Riley? He’s a good boy! 😁
Id give you a like but this game is just so awful
To u, not to him nd me @@marbl3d45
I given u a like buddy
"This video is sponsored by The Oregon Trail"
What the entire trail!?
The weird thing for me about this game is whenever I play regular team deathmatch and get killed, the entire HUD disappears, and so whenever I die it feels like the match is over.
Another game series that would be really cool to see are the yakuza games the story in the games are about 20-25 hours long and they are just so badass (and don’t forget the karaoke)
my own little head cannon is that the "Ghosts" were inspired by our OG Ghost and thats why they adpoted the skull mask just like him
I freakin love Ghosts. The color, graphics, animation, audio and improved gameplay. At least one step above MW3.
Number 1: Keegan
I replayed ghosts because of this video. It’s campaign and extraction mode are middle of the road but better than I remember.
In a German let's play (gametube) they said about this game: "Man, they're so good at storytelling, if only they had a story to tell" and that pretty much hit the nail on it's head for me. The way they present everything in this campaign is still mostly excellent, but there is just very little to work with.
how cool it is. When Simon shows up in ghosts 2 and saves the mc from Ghosts 1.
The bombardment isn’t missiles, they are kinetic rods that pick up energy as they fall through the atmosphere. This technicality is why it’s not illegal to have them in space.
"it's been 10 years you start to forget the things you should remember"
I loved Ghosts. Maybe it's coz I'm always a couple years behind every franchise
ghosts was the first cod game i played n the campain is awesome even though it kinda falls in some areas i still really love it to this day
This campaign was actually rlly well done, shame it got alot of hate. Ik mp may have been a miss but campaign was solid, wouldn’t mind a ghost 2
god keegan. keegan is just cool. love him.
This game was the shit when it came out. I seriously never understood why people hated on it so much when it had so much to offer. A pretty decent campaign, an awesome aliens mode as opposed to zombies, the multiplayer killstreaks and maps and extra content were all classic and enjoyable. They had freaking Snoop Dogg as an announcer and Eminem did a track and music video for the game too. It was a pretty good CoD game, even by today's standards. If Ghosts came out this year with modern graphics and Warzone tacked onto it, everyone would love it.
This was my first COD game and it’s special to me. It was mine blowing for me. It pretty much had all the kinds of missions I could ask for lol. I’m glad I’m not the only one who loves this game. Not saying it the best but my opinion and my favorite.
First COD game I ever played.
It’ll always be special in my heart.
I actually liked this game and only appreciated it more when I revisited it
I will always love this game, i will always hope they make a 2nd ghosts.
Ghosts 2 needs to be made the story can easily follow the cliffhanger both Hesh and Logan working on both sides Hesh Good Logan Bad as Hesh encounters Logan now working for Rorke after the end of Ghosts and Hesh tries to save his brother from Rorke
I Want Ghosts 2
