I'm honestly not hopeful for this game.
CoD is not a good franchise and I'm not a big fan of it. It's blatantly vanilla; it panders to casuals and is a bit of a disgrace.
However, I will stand up for the franchise somewhat, as I quite enjoy Black Ops II.
Don't get me wrong - Black Ops II is not a particularly good game. It's still CoD, which means rubberbanding, 12-year-olds, sketchy gameplay, horrendous hitboxes, and god-awful microtransactions. The fact that there's an option to pay $2 to get a camo on a gun - despite the fact that it's hardly visible in gameplay or to yourself, even (not to mention that it doesn't affect gameplay at all) - is ridiculous.
However, it's a fun game. Once you get over the fact it's a trashy adolescent shooter, it's quite fun. Combat's reasonably polished, you have a good and balanced selection of weapons, maps are fun and interesting, and there's plenty of playability. It's a natural evolution of CoD - lots of unlocks, flashy gunplay, rote skill-learning, and killing people.
The "Pick 10" system's probably the best thing that's ever happened to CoD.
So yeah. It's a pile of cancer, but nice cancer!
Ghosts? Who knows. MW3 was shithouse, and Black Ops I was alright. The fact that it's made by Infinity Ward doesn't comfort me, because Infinity Ward made MW2 (which was gobsmackingly bad, in all definitions of the word).
I'm certainly not going to preorder it
