Five Reasons why Ghosts is good!
1 - Graphics are at the most highest detail
2 - Everything in the game with perks, streaks , guns I believe ARE balanced
3 - Field orders
4 - Multiple character customization
5 - Destructive maps/ inter-active
Lag , Spawns will always over shadow these highlights. I don't understand how to give advice on these issues, I work with trucks and machines -not computer tech savvy
Maybe it's just me, but I complain about the Ghillie suit with players running without sniper rifles off the mark,and paying for campaign mode which I never play.Player stats could be a little bit better.
Your opening paragraph quotes " Im a CoD Fanatic. I've been playing it for years, and have experienced every CoD game." Like most of us.
