Call of Duty: Ghosts is a first-person shooter set in a near-future scenario where the United States has been devastated by an orbital weapons strike. The single-player campaign follows Logan Walker, a soldier fighting alongside an elite special operations unit called the Ghosts against the Federation of the Americas, a South American military superpower. Multiplayer introduces destructible map elements, new game modes such as Cranked and Blitz, and a Squads mode with AI-controlled teammates. The game also features Extinction, a four-player cooperative mode where players fight waves of alien creatures called Cryptids.
About the story
In the near future, a conflict in the Middle East destroys the region's oil fields, triggering a global energy crisis. South American oil-producing nations unite into the Federation of the Americas, a military dictatorship that rapidly conquers Central America and Mexico. The Federation hijacks an American orbital weapons platform and uses it to devastate cities across the southwestern United States, reshaping the balance of global power overnight. Ten years later, brothers Logan and Hesh Walker serve along the fortified border that now divides what remains of the U.S. from Federation territory. When a Federation operative named Rorke, a former Ghost turned traitor through brainwashing, begins hunting and killing members of the elite Ghosts unit, the brothers are recruited into the squad by their father, its leader. Together they must stop Rorke, uncover the Federation's plans for a second orbital weapon, and strike back before the enemy can finish what it started.

The Game Fanatics
By 8 Bit BritRecommended for anyone who love first person shooters and anyone looking to play with competitive gamers.
Cubed3
By Calum PeakCall of Duty: Ghosts is everything that Call of Duty titles have been in the past: fast-paced action and the usual competitive multiplayer with a few twists thrown in. Single-player is interesting to a point, if a little too short this time around, multiplayer will keep players coming back for more, but does little to push the series forwards, and Extinction is a nice little distraction but nowhere near as fleshed out as it could be. For anyone thinking of getting the PC version, though, knock the score down to 4/10 as in good faith it certainly cannot be recommended until it's fixed. Right now it is plagued with performance issues that would make many consumers' heads ache and even the most average system die a death. At current it feels like only 1/3rd of the game is playable and that isn't good value for money.

By Twinfinite StaffAll in all, Call of Duty: Ghosts is a fun experience, if not a memorable one. Graphics are incredible on Playstation 4, and online multiplayer is smooth and accessible, carrying over some of the better aspects of the previous entries.

By Kevin MitchellAs someone that doesn't spend an exorbitant amount of time in Call of Duty multiplayer, Ghosts feels like a weekend rental at best. If you are one of the millions that play the multiplayer daily, Ghosts provides plenty of entertainment in the alien based Extinction mode and the new Squads mode. The rest of the multiplayer plays like Call of Duty, fans of the multiplayer will know exactly what I mean. I do have my concerns as specific existing game modes are missing, but the inclusion of dedicated servers should alleviate most of the issues with lag.

By Dan CrabtreeGhosts is by no means the most creative or flawless game in this series, but it nails its core competency better than any Call of Duty before it. The immediate, uncluttered return of a successful shot paired with the rubric of near-future warfare and an inviting warehouse of unlockables still commands the attention of millions of gamers worldwide. The tightly-balanced nuance of competitive online play and its endless variables continue to draw attention, even devotion. Ghosts is my biggest supporter when I play Ghosts, and that feeling is mostly, though not entirely, mutual.
