Zero Punctuation reviews "Call of Duty: Ghosts"

Yahtzee certainly brought his A-Game for this review. It's one of the funniest I've seen from him.

Now, to be fair I haven't played a COD game since the very first one, but is this really the best they could do for a plot?

He certainly leaves little doubt as to his opinion of it. Ow. (nt) Posteritatis Nov 2013 #3

Yahtzee has never been one for subtlety. NuclearDem Nov 2013 #4

Definitely. He upgraded the anvil for that one though. (nt) Posteritatis Nov 2013 #5

The only COD with a decent plot was the first Modern Warfare. The others ranged from meh to just plain awful.

It was pretty standard-WWII-FPS-cliche - well, maybe less so that early in the genre - but it knew what it wanted to be.

they sailed their plot right past plain awful and went straight for downright offensive. I guess having to come up with an enemy to blow up every year is not that easy.

I remember enjoying COD1, it was the only WWII themed FPS that I played, so it was an interesting change of pace.
