So other than aping Zombies there's no redeemable new features over the last few CoD's? What's the point of CoD: Ghosts again?
New maps
New perks system
Customizable soldiers (head / armour / clothes)
Its Malibu Stacy with a new hat
A good game of Extinction tonight - we got right to the end and it then dropped the connection to the COD servers and we were dumped out :-(
For all the questions that were being asked when i didnt have a mic in
You should change up your pistols as soon as possible - the magnum is slightly better but the 3 round burst is pretty much the only gun you need once you have unlocked it and the gun after that is full auto
There are different classes - medic / engineer / tank / weapons expert - if for example you are the medic you can revieve people much quicker and you take less damage while you are doing that
*after* you go through each barrier there are only a few aliens which spawn and you can spend as long as you like until you place down the drill to start the first hive - so each time you should go around the map and find all the searchable items so you can upgrade your guns and get the various extra items (bouncing betties / trophy system / etc)
Yes the trophy system protects you against Scorpions air attacks
Each time you get past a hive or barrier you gain 1 skill point , if you complete the challege you also gain another one - you should be using these to quickly power up your guns and your abilities
Yes you start with a pistol and can pick up one other gun - if you get your weapons powered up to one less than the highest you can then pick up a 3rd weapon - if you power them up to the max you dual wield your pistols
If your in danger of going down there are two quick ways for escape (1) - use Feral mode which increases your speed and healing abilities (2) drop an IMF and hold back behind it for protection - if you are downed and have a later gun you can still take out many enemies with it so make sure your covering the person who is reviving you but crawl out of the acid pool you went down in !
If you 'die' then there is a dog tag marker at that point and you can be revived from there its just about 3 times longer than a regular revive.
Level 22 (which i've just hit) allows you to use the auto turrets which shoot without you standing behind them and are amazing (if you max them out you can place 2 at a time) - basically you should just place them down and then protect them - they can get the kills !
From where we got to tonight the next step would be the barrier for that area and then you trigger the nuke and have to run all the way back to the start avoiding the many meteors and rino's (Tanks) that spawn and try to take you out - you have something like 2 minutes to do that - if you have feral mode at about level 3 then your spring speed increases so worth picking and dropping those around the place during the final mad scramble back.
