    ill be playing cod ghosts as of midnight, just wondering what peoples thoughts are and what kind of expectations everyone has. I have BF4 and so far find it a little too buggy for my liking, not saying that im giving up on it because I do like the graphics and it is fun(when its not crashing) but I haven't played a COD game since black ops 1. I really liked the fast paced action of call of duty 4, and modern warfare 2, and am hoping ghosts runs well like those games did, and is still action packed and fun. im also hoping its nice and stable and optimized well. when and if anyone here ends up playing it, id like to know what specs your machine has and what kind of frames you are getting and at what settings just to compare. hopefully this game turns out awesome!!

    eh I'm passing on this version of COD for now. Its a stale franchise for me and until big changes are made they won't be getting my money. ;)

    There is a thread in the games section for this game. Seems some are already playing, and I already watched a play through of the first hour. I like to wait for reviews as money is tight for me.

    so far ive just been playing the multiplayer. seeing a nice steady 60fps on all max settings. the game is very fast paced and runs really well. alot better then BF4 anyways. the graphics are good, nice and sharp but they dont compare at all to BF4(which is probably why it runs so nice). its alot of fun so far.

    I've read the opposite. Most people say that the COD hasn't made much improvements to the gameplay and that they like BF4 more than COD.

    BF4 is pretty stable for me now. Dice seems to have fixed the server crashes and the latest AMD drivers have taken care of the client crashes. :)

    Well I'll enjoy BF4 a lot more once they finally get the crappy netcode optimized. Sick of somehow getting killed while being behind cover. :(

    both games run well for me besides the main issues with BF4 which im sure will be fixed soon. i do like both games but i like to switch it up every once in a while. once they release a patch for BF4 to fix the major issues ill probably play it more. i only had BF4 crash 2 times on me so far, which isnt terrible but it needs some more optimization for sure to keep the fps more stable. i havent played cod for a while until i just got ghosts and i do like the fast paced game play. they're both good forsure, but i can see myself playing more BF4 once its optimized better. im sure some new nvidia drivers would help as well.

    Cod doesn't run that well for me. I get over 60fps but a lot of stuttering. BF4 runs perfectly now pretty much though I still like both
