Picking this up at midnight for 360. Anyone else plan on playing release? We have 6 to 8 guys ready to go for most of Tuesday. Hoping to see some nice win streaks on day one.

I'm not buying anything else till the Xone is out. |

I'll make a note that Ghosts for 360 can be upgraed to the Once version for $10 once the One drops. |

MSBS is unreal |

Yea. I think it did or will get patched. The one burst is dump.
I was using the first SMG with silencer and extended mags and all the go fast perks.
The attack dog is SOOO strong. I think its HP will get patched as well. We had guys queuing them up because they wouldn't die fast enough.
I really like the complexity of the SATCOM I think it was a nice touch. |

I havent played enough to fully understand the SATCOM and all it can do.
The dog is pretty awesome......One thing I have learned is don't take him out in the open field, stay in close quarter rooms.
I do like the fact you can buy the attachments early with squad points. Saved up to get the stock......cant stand how slow you move without it in scope view.
Biggest thing for me currently tho is just learning all the maps. That always takes time. |

So we started to coordinate SAT COM drops about 5 hours in because 1 SAT COM is almost pointless.
1 sat com = Bascially a motion detector. Its really slow blips and doesn't do the whole map.
2 sat coms = UAV
3 sat coms = Quicker Blips on UAV
4 sat coms = Advanced UAV (directional) / Blackbird / Obital VSAT |

O wait I get it. You're thanking me for beating those kids so bad they sold you their game for a loss. You're welcome. In all honesty I won't play this that much outside of release night. I have way more than $15 of fun with my homies crushin baddies night 1. Secretly I get carried. My KD is like .98 but my win ratio is 10.0. |

I was just happy it didn't lock up my console multiple times like bf3 did. |

We had patches and were online by 12:45. We had another patch about 5 or 7 am I think after we got kicked and had about 10 min of server down messages.
Pretty successful I would say props to XBL and the CoD infrastructure team for a smooth release. |

Sure you can upgrade your old gen copy, but it's still an extra $10 that a lot of people just don't have. |

Im playing it on the Wii U. Only had to update it once when it first loaded up. Not sure what that update included. Played again this morning and there were no new updates for it.
This COD def flows better than BOPS2 tho. Treyarch did a good job porting it. The fact my son and I can play at the same time on the same console without split screen is nice. Of course I shaft him with the Wii U gamepad. |

Oh yeah it is. I tried using it for 1 game......no way. Im just glad Nintendo stole the Microsoft controller. |

The highest I saw was 500k online but I wasn't playing peak for day 1 which would have been like 6 - 12 est time.
I think that maybe low but it went pretty good just the same and props form them getting that right at least. |

Call of Duty: Ghosts sells more than $1 Billion on retail copies on day one
Call of Duty: Ghosts is Gamestop's Most Pre-ordered Next Gen Title
Call of Duty: Ghosts Takes over the #1 Spot on Xbox Live
Call of Duty: Ghosts Sets New High Watermark for Average Player Session Length
Activision Publishing, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision Blizzard, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI), announced today that the company sold more than $1 billion of Call of Duty®: Ghosts into shops worldwide as of day one.
"Call of Duty is by far the largest console franchise of this generation," said Bobby Kotick, CEO of Activision Blizzard. "More people have played Call of Duty this year than ever before, logging four billion hours of gameplay. And in the last 12 months, Call of Duty®: Black Ops II, including its digital content, generated more revenues than any other console game ever has in a single year. Although it is too early to assess sell-through for Call of Duty: Ghosts, it's launching at a time when the franchise has never been more popular."
Millions of people are already playing Call of Duty: Ghosts online. Since its release yesterday, Call of Duty: Ghosts has moved to the #1 spot as the most played game on Xbox Live, according to Microsoft. Additionally, Activision confirmed that on the Xbox 360 videogames and entertainment system from Microsoft, average player sessions for Ghosts have been longer than either Black Ops II or Call of Duty®:Modern Warfare® 3, during the same time period.
Call of Duty: Ghosts launched at 15,000 midnight openings around the world. Fans around the world shared their excitement in social media, with Call of Duty-related terms trending an astounding 20 times globally on Twitter in the last 24 hours.
"Ghosts is an amazing game which ushers in the next generation of Call of Duty. The team at Infinity Ward has delivered yet another epic thrill ride in the campaign, and what I think is our best multiplayer game yet," said Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision Publishing. "This is the must have launch title for the next generation of consoles, and we expect Call of Duty: Ghosts to be the most successful launch title for the Xbox One and PS4 by a wide margin. In fact, according to GameStop, Call of Duty: Ghosts is their most pre-reserved next gen title." |

Dang.

My buddy was 286th in points in Team Deathmatch at like 6pm on day one. I thought that was pretty tight. |

Finally got enough squad points to get my guy setup.
Using the: Remington R5 (stock sights) Silencer Armor Piercing
No second gun, No grenade, No Tactical
Perks: Hardline, Stalker, Max Ammo, Quickdraw, No fall damage
Satcom, Dog, Sentry
Hardest part about the game now is learning the in's and outs of the maps. Black OPS 2 my KD was at 1.93. Currently sitting at 1.55 on this one. |
|

I got over 1 last night!
I moved over to the KP7 (built in silencer SMG). I also don't have nades or a secondary.
Perks: Lightweight, Marathon, Slight of Hand, Scavenger, Both the aiming faster perks.
I am also really digging the built in silenced Sniper rifle as you can add armor piercing and it is a one hit chest up at ok range. Long range it is still 2. |

Yeah its hard for me to not have scavenger on. But with the max ammo perk I start off with 24/144 vice 24/48 with scavenger. I am no where good enough to outlive my rounds of ammo most the time. |

I have a question, does anyone know if you were to purchase the 360 version ($60), get an Xbox One (can upgrade to X1 for $10), so can basically sell your 360 version after that? If I understand correctly, you basically get two versions of COD GHOSTS for $70, but can sell the 360 version immediately? |

It will be $10 and the current gen game for the next gen game. It's all a big old con to get $10 more out of the players who simply must have everything on the day of release. |

Headed to another LAN tonight. If you're playing 360 Team Deathmatch and you see all sN tags just back out. 47 |

You trade in the 360(or PS3) version and they give you essentially $50 for it as long as you are upgrading to your respective next-gen console (so $10 is left to pay for the next-gen). said by Cat5:It's all a big old con to get $10 more out of the players who simply must have everything on the day of release. That is a glass half-empty kind of view. You could look at it as a glass half-full view in that it allows you the opportunity to learn the maps in and out for a few weeks longer. |
