Journey To Platinum - Call of Duty: Ghosts [Part 2 ~ Multiplayer Trophies]

All but one of the multiplayer trophies in Ghosts is based around playing the default Extinction map, the other trophy requires you to play Safeguard. I call them multiplayer trophies but you can in fact, complete some of them in solo matches, so if that’s easier for you to do, then go for it. Extinction mode actually scales with the number of players in the match, so it might be better to play solo, instead of struggling with public players who can’t take care of themselves. I managed to complete all the multiplayer trophies when Ghosts first launched but with all the patches and updates to Extinction mode, I think it’s actually a fair bit easier now. On the whole, I’d say these multiplayer trophies aren’t too bad, there’s a couple annoying ones that require you to go out of your way but nothing outrageously unreasonable. Despite there being more SP trophies, I reckon you’ll be spending a little bit longer working on the MP ones because Extinction matches can take a bit of time to complete and you’ve got to do it several times.

No Man Left - Escape with all four players in Regular or Hardcore difficulty.

Exactly what it says on the tin, you need to start with a full lobby and everyone has to be on the chopper before it takes off. I managed to get this done a couple weeks after Ghosts first came out, when lots of people were still getting to grips with Extinction, I’m not sure how populated the servers are these days but there should still be enough people playing.

Journey To Platinum - Call of Duty: Ghosts [Part 1 ~ Single Player Trophies]

For some reason this year I’ve been cleaning up my Call of Duty trophies, as of writing this article, Ghosts will actually be the third CoD I’ve plat’d within a year :O I always complete the single player trophies in the year of launch but never really work on the multiplayer ones until later. Last year I finally got my platinum for Modern Warfare 2 by completing the remaining Spec Ops missions, then over the last couple months, I decided to go back and work on Ghosts and Black Ops. I have a feeling before the end of the year, I’ll be adding MW3 to my list as well XD Anyway, why is this all relevant? Well, to be honest it isn’t really (lol) but what I will say is, I think that Ghosts is probably one of the more fun platinum’s to earn and also, possibly one of the easier ones to, at least where single player trophies are concerned. The multiplayer trophies are still fairly taxing to earn but not anywhere near as hard as the ones in previous CoD games.

Call of Duty: Ghosts - Cheapest Launch Day Prices, Special Offers & Promotions [UK Summary]

Just in case you didn't know, it's that time of the year when a new Call of Duty title is launched and this time around it's Ghosts. The chances are if you're reading this article, you already know the purpose of it but for those that might not have purchased a CoD title at launch, basically every year there is usually one or two deals that certain retailers have on the game. Of course there is no guarantee that there will be any special offers or money saving deals at all but if you're planning to get a copy on the launch day anyway, there's no harm in keeping an eye out. Okay, so now we're all up to speed on what this article is about, let's get down to business, below you will find a list of the best prices that I've seen so far. Please not that while all the following prices are correct at the time of posting, they may (and most probably will) change as the day goes on but I will try my best to keep the list up to speed.

Call of Duty: Ghosts - New Campaign Trailer Released [Video Inside]

A short while ago Infinity Ward released a brand new campaign trailer for Call of Duty: Ghosts and what a trailer it is! In the initial reveal trailer a couple months ago we were told very little about how the US was crippled and eventually invaded by foreign nations, well this trailer serves to address some of those questions by providing a bit more background information, not just the attack itself but also the characters we'll be taking control of. In addition to this, the trailer highlights several more potential story missions, so if you're trying to avoid any and all spoilers, however minor, you might want to give the trailer a miss. However, for those that want to lap up everything and anything, I've embedded the video below for your viewing pleasure:

Call of Duty: Ghosts - Collector's Editions (Prestige & Hardened) Revealed [Trailer Inside]

As you might've heard by now, Call of Duty: Ghosts had it's multiplayer reveal event last night (if you missed it and want to catch up, you can do so by going here) and towards the end of it, we were given a first look at the collectors editions of this years title. Fans of collector editions will recall that Modern Warfare 3 only had Hardened editions on sale and did not offer a Prestige edition, well with Ghosts, the Prestige edition makes a return and instead of a novel toy that previous CoD titles offered, they're including a pretty cool gadget. You can check out the full contents of a Prestige edition for yourself in the image above (you can click the image to get an enlarge version) but just in case you're having trouble identifying what's what, I'll list the items included. Note that the Hardened editions comes with everything the Prestige edition does, minus the gadget/toy and is therefore the cheaper of the two collector editions (both can be pre-ordered as of today).

Call of Duty: Ghosts - Multiplayer Reveal [Trailer and Full Live Stream Event Video Inside]

 
It's that time of the year again, when the gaming world gets a teaser of what the next Call of Duty multiplayer will be like and we start to discover the new additions/changes that we'll soon all need to get to grips with. In some ways I like to think that this years CoD is a little bit special, not only will it be the first offering for the next generation of consoles but it's also a new series and potentially the last CoD title that many of us will play on our current consoles. Anyway enough sentimental twaddle, earlier this evening Activision hosted a special live streaming event that showcased what Call of Duty: Ghosts multiplayer has to offer and as per usual it was started off with the customary reveal trailer. I've embedded both the multiplayer reveal trailer and the full reveal event separately below, so that if you're not interested in the watching the full stream, you don't have to waste time loading it. However, if you are planning to watch the full stream, note that the reveal trailer is shown in it, so there's no need for you to load up both videos.

Call of Duty: Ghosts - E3 All Access Event [Gameplay Footage and Analysis Inside]

Yesterday Activision held a special presentation for their upcoming new game, Call of Duty: Ghosts, which felt like a direct follow up to the reveal trailer released a couple weeks back. While most developers are happy enough to be showcasing at the E3 event, Activision decided it wanted to (unofficially) kick off the expo and hosted an 'All Access' event a day before the convention doors opens because they wanted to "bring E3 to our fans" (the ones who couldn't make it).. The whole show lasts for about 30 minutes and you can watch it below, YouTube does require you to log in to view it but if you can't be bothered with that, there are a few other versions floating around, though none as good in terms of visual quality. There's a bit of chatter between the presenters (Jeff Keighley and Justine Ezarik) with the various people from Activision and Infinity Ward but it's mostly introducing or discussing the three video clips. The first two videos show footage taken from separate missions and the third one is sort of a preview of the entire game, I highly suggest you read my summary of the third video (below) before you decide if you want to watch it because some people might consider the clips as campaign spoilers. As per usual I provide a round up summary/analysis after the video, though in all honesty the footage shown is pretty clear cut but if you're still interested in my thoughts, be sure to scroll past the video, enjoy.

IGN's Pre-E3 Call of Duty: Ghosts Exclusive Sneak Peak

Earlier today IGN released an article on their exclusive sneak peak at what Activision is planning to show the rest of the world tomorrow, regarding their new game, Call of Duty: Ghosts. There's not a great deal of information to be had, not entirely surprising given it was only meant to be a brief glimpse into the full reveal but I still think the article is worth reading. There are two short video clips to go with the article but these don't really show us anything that we haven't already seen from the reveal trailer and behind the scenes footage. But again if you're interested in hearing what Mark Rubin (first video) and Zach Volker (second video, title image above) have to say, then these will be worth watching to learn a very small amount about the direction they wanted to take the game and some of the new features they've implemented.

Call of Duty: Ghosts Reveal Trailer Released [Video and Trailer Analysis Inside]

Today at the Microsoft reveal event of the new Xbox console (the 'Xbox One' - summary article coming soon), we were shown the reveal trailer to Call of Duty: Ghosts. During the conference we were also told a few things about the new game, the most noteworthy (though not entirely surprising) points were that it will be running on a new next-gen engine and it is definitely a completely new storyline with fresh characters, one of which is a dog. I'll discuss more about the trailer in my analysis below but something that isn't clearly mentioned/shown in trailer is that the game takes place 10 years after America has been devastated by (an as yet unknown) event. Anyway, I've linked the video below and done a Trailer Analysis afterwards, enjoy.

New 2013 Call of Duty Title Officially Announced, CoD: Ghosts Coming 5th November [Teaser Trailer and Analysis Inside]

There were several leaks in the last week with many outlets posting various listings on their websites promoting the, as of then, yet to be announced 2013 Call of Duty title. Well as of today, Activision have officially confirmed that the new game will be called Call of Duty: Ghosts, details are very thin on the ground at the moment but I expect you'll soon hear all sorts of rumours from everyone and their mother. As you can see from the title image, a reveal will take place on the 21st of May at the new Xbox 720 reveal event but if you're game enough, many places are already offering you the ability to pre-order. I'm not really sure why you'd want to pre-order something you've only seen a title for but I suppose I'd be lying if I didn't say it's almost a certainty that I myself will be purchasing CoD: Ghosts at some point after launch. Ghosts is confirmed for this generation of consoles, what is less clear is whether it'll be also be available for the next generation of consoles, probably not a concern for most of us XD
