Even Call of Duty: Ghosts is going PC hipster these days - Released

[Infinitron]

Higher quality textures: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2013/08/17/for-what-its-worth-call-of-duty-will-be-best-on-pc/

“PC is taking a different tack from previous games [in the series]. Now, PC has its own set of assets [instead of just reusing console assets]. It’s going to look better than any Call of Duty we’ve ever made on PC. They’re actually using an even higher version in many cases than the next-gen consoles, from a texture standpoint.”

Dedicated servers: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2013/08/23/boom-call-of-duty-ghosts-to-have-dedicated-servers/

“We did mention dedicated servers on Xbox One. One thing I can say is we’re also doing dedicated servers on PC. So PC will be all dedicated servers, all of it.”

Battlefield 3 scared them, it seems...

 

[Dr Tomo]

Well I am flattered that they are actually going to put effort into their PC port, guess the PC market is going to have to make up for the lack of console sales.

The publishers have a bad habit of burning bridges... unfortunately the public has the attention span of a goldfish.

I've just realized that the acronym "PC" in the title of this thread could also be interpreted as "politically correct"...which is quite possibly also true.

 

[FeelTheRads]

But I thought new consolars are better than the bestest computer on the market? Why no ultra awesome textures for PS4?

 

[AlexOfSpades]

I think they noticed Xbone is a sinking ship and is asking the PC Gaming Master Race™ for a hand.

 

[DalekFlay]

Surprised this push doesn't come with a switch to battle.net, or some other Activision PC client.

On the plus side, white women can now join white men to shoot those dirty sand people and the evil communists together, equality fuck yeah!

...well, I deserve it for reading comments on RPS. I"ll click on a random article on the "related" sidebar to relax...

Somehow, Lightning Warrior Ready managed to get off lighter in that post than the number one Hater-and-destroyer-of-women, The Witcher.

So does this one still come with a brain-melting FOV of 55? Do you get banned from online multiplayer if you try to change it to avoid a stroke while playing?

CoD's FOV is vertical or whatever, it's not a traditional 55. I think it works out to a classic 70-something, which is pretty normal these days. Never bothered me.

Wrong. Go into one of the games that let you change your FOV and do so. I believe the last was Modern Warfare. You'll find it's 65 degrees, down from a standard 90, and it's definitely horizontal. Since then, later games have had even lower FOVs.

Well I was a big contributor to widescreengamingforum for a long time and CoD4 through the first Black Ops were definitely not 55 in standard terms. 65 maybe, once you convert, but probably a little higher. Also 90 is not the standard.

Anyway, not gonna change your mind so...

Yo dawg,

I heard you like women so I put women in the game that once was the last safe resort, a paradise of men (or boys, urgh, once upon a time it was men..) -only gloriness and shooter fun.

On the other hand, now you can shoot women through the head when your girlfriend/wife/mother is asking you to stop gaming. Which is fun, I guess.

Ah well, didn’t play/buy/like CoD anyways these days.

Weird, my brain does melt and I get a stroke from playing the game regardless of the fov.

Call of Duty: Ghosts may have given dogs the spotlight ahead of, er, half of the entire human race...

So did centuries' worth of warfare, dating back to ancient times. It pains me to say the sexists of yore found more use for trained dogs than women as combatants.

lulz and other beasts as well, such as horses. To be fair, these beasts may be female too, but i doubt it.

 

[Gurkog]

hyenas are dirty feminists because the females are bigger and stronger than the males?

sea horses are trannies because the males get pregnant?

what is the world coming to!

Does hyenas and sea horses ever participate in men made conflict? Don't think so.

Man made conflict only involves men. Makes sense. Kill off the competition so you can rape integrate the women of their lands into your empire. Killing off the women would be counter to this objective and so preventing them from entering the arena of conflict they remain the object of victory!

What about the horses?

They rape the horses and stampede the women.
