I have to laugh again about the people who are upset that the new Call of Duty is still a Call of Duty every year. Mag not the principle, through schlauchige levels and entertained by lots of brachial staged Skrpts to be, then you have to make a big circle around this series since 1 part. Batman will not Bioshock etc. be. It wants to be Batman and does so as long as there are people buy. Since BioShock for years one of the most successful, if not the most successful games brand, that is probably that these games are very popular and sell well. It will only change what if sales should break massively. Point! This step of the developers I can understand fully. Likewise, I can understand if someone does not like these games, or now has no more desire it, but please do not complain, but it buys you just do not.
Positives:
The variety and the creation of remarkable scenes are better this time managed as in the previous parts. I can think of right away so many scenes that I like to remember. The mere prelude, which comes scenically in a mixture of films like 2012 Gravity. The subsequent end-time scenario again recalls I am Legend and offers a very atmospheric Schleich mission in a dead and overgrown with plants metropolis. There is a breaking dam, which flooded a city (The Day After Tomorrow), an atmospheric underwater use, a surreptitious mission on the wall of a skyscraper, which later collapses (Transformers 3), an escape through a collapsing city (again think of you 2012), helicopter and tank rides (tribute to the predecessor, but still better staged) as well as a prosecution on a high-speed train. As an example of the varied and great staged operations to a mission from the middle of the game are.
Spoiler beginning:
There is an airplane scene the only strikingly reminiscent of Mission Impossible 3, but then ends up like the opening scene of The Dark Knight Rises at the beginning. A short time later you have a heartbeat sensor sneak through the jungle (who thinks here of Aliens, is the right place). Later, together with the reunited Squad to flee through a grass field. Here one tries to the opponents in the tall grass when rain dodge. This scene reminded me of Jurassic Park, for example, 2. Then there is no other possibility than to escape by jumping from a waterfall to finish. Throughout adrenaline.
Spoilers end.
Similarly good are actually all missions. Partially even better. As you noted, there are many allusions to this big Hollywood blockbuster. Of course you can now say here is much copied. But I find many such scenes has not yet seen in video games and in the combination it acts not yet copied as dull. What is fired here in the 18 missions is brutal action in the truest sense of the word. The Battlefield 3 and 4 create this campaign skillfully staged variety just does not. On the contrary: Battlefield 4 I even wanted to cancel several times. Infinity Ward are the masters of production. Whether people like it or not. That's why I buy the new Call of Duty in order to get exactly every year. I do not expect innovations or something completely new. The predecessor was already good, but this was the one or other "dull" mission. Therefore you get here the best CoDKampagne the 10th anniversary of the series.
Neutral:
On the highest difficulty I needed 8 hours. But on the lower two levels, it is certainly to create a whole corner faster. Slightly longer could the CoD games already have, but that does not keep for 10 years the people from buying. But again for me, better a short and good, but a long and tedious campaign.
Negatives:
In principle, I found the characters from the Modern Warfare and Black Ops series better. It is indeed taken into ghosts of the great production out of the synagogue, but can not really empathize with the characters, because they have too little profile compared to eg Cpt. Price, Soap McTavish or Alex Mason. In addition, I would like to see more background to the story. This affects their mi Entzeitszenario namely really fresh and interesting. Much is simple but not explained. But perhaps this is still in the successors
The graph lags behind the possibilities. I have the PS4 version though can not play, but since the PC version is the best technical eh, I can say very clearly: NextGen this title is unfortunately still a long way away. Although a lot has improved, especially the many details and the affectionate and varied designed levels, but too often the old and now obsolete engine is noticeable. Again and again, nice and sharp textures change with ugly and blurry from. Some of the images and scenes are beautiful and full of details, so that you think Ok Call of Duty looks at last really good only in the next moment to get purposed mediocrity.
Conclusion:
Overall, the best CoD campaign with plenty of open potential in graphics and story! These points need to be improved in coming offshoots. So next time you please with a new engine, so I can see the whole thing in a graphic splendor ala Battlefield 4 or Crysis. Anyway, I'm looking forward to the continuation of the Ghosts settings in 2 years. Then please enter the characters and the story more depth. Enjoy who it looks like I and all the others, let it simply be left and encourages you not about to, because that life is too beautiful and too short ;-)
Thank you for reading.
