| Sorry for my absence on Ghosts. I'm just not really into this game like I was with the others. I may be on some on the weekends but right now I'm enjoying the extra sleep during the week. Kids and wife are already asleep but I just can't make myself turn on the Xbox. I'm getting a lot of things finished around the house that I have been putting off for a while. | |

| Ghosts plays WAY different from other CoD's that we're used to. Especially Dom. Going from BO to MW3 to BO2, Dom was always pretty much the same. Not so much in Ghosts. In fact, our normal late night crew rarely plays Dom anymore. It's mostly TDM now.
But enjoy the time off and yeah, make sure to make those quarterly posts. | |

| Saying this game plays WAY different is an understatement. Take Call of Duty out of the title and this game would have been a flop. A one and done title. | |

| I haven't played in depth since I don't own it so I can't speak like everyone else. However, I've played it a few times on Xbox 1 with a buddy and it honestly reminds me of every call of duty ever. There's a few new elements based around the same ol game play. I love how detailed the maps are and it looks awesome but the gameplay just seems the same to me. Again that could be cause I've only played it twice. So no worries Dave that just means you'll have to play some gta v when the heists come out lol. | |

| Ditto here, I really don't have much fun playing this game. And its not an experience that I'll be willing to trade sleep for. Unless its a CW I'm going to be playing other stuff.
There really isn't any reward for playing...no killstreaks that are fun, no extra stuff to motivate you to reach prestige, weapon unlocks aren't fixed to rank, camo's suck, even the character customization isn't that great. Its not that edge of your seat gameplay that I grew accustomed to in BO2.
I got bored with BO2 as well last spring, but then we discovered league play. That is really the only thing that kept me playing for the rest of the year. I wish there was more to the clan vs clan lobby...but its kind of pointless. And 4vs4 TDM on stonehaven is incredibly stupid. | |

| As you all know, We'll be here when you get back. I have to be honest, I kinds hated B02 and as much as this game plays differently, i really like it. personal preference. | |

| I find it is just more of the same stuff.
I like that the killstreaks are not so powerful but that probably upsets the core audience more than it helps the game get me back to playing regularly.
I suffer from CoD fatigue myself.

| I'm actually finding the game to be quite enjoyable. I think I'm playing this more than I did MW3 (didn't really like it) and BO2 (I liked it).
I was never one to get super high kill streaks anyways, plus I like the fact the KS aren't so OP as to change the entire game. But if you guys are all about going for MOABs, Swarm, Dogs, etc. then I can see that it might get boring for you since those don't really exist anymore. Even the KM is just an instant 6 kills and that's about it.
I AM sad that Dom is so different and I do miss playing it. However, I find that going 14-30 routinely on Dom, with probably a 1.0 W/L is kind of depressing and not really how I want to spend my gaming time. | |

| It is a lot different and it is ashame because the fan base kept saying they wanted change and now they got it but yet not a whole lot of people like it. They said they wanted killstreaks that weren't so powerful, maps with more routes, and bigger maps. Well they gave us all these things and now not many like it so be careful what you ask for lol. It doesn't keep my attemtion like other titles have and honestly I like BO 2 better. | |

| I think I may be the only one who likes this game, likes not having death streaks, like not getting shot from a damn striker, like the connection much better and think it feels a lot like MW3. Dave, stop being productive. You're making us look bad. | |

Dave, stop being productive. You're making us look bad. Says the guy that only uses one corner of every map. Do you know what the rest of the map even looks like? | |

| don't worry dave, you're not the only one who feels this way about the game. I've been actually playing BF4 alot, havent really gotten into ghost, dom was really a disappointment as that was our go to game mode. breaks from games are always good, enjoy the family time. | |

| I actually enjoy this one more then the others too
I do miss playing with everyone, and a full party where we can chat. I hope it gets better when the adapters come out, but I feel I play a lot better on Ghost then I ever have on any of the other releases. I also think the Xbox one has a lot to do with it. I would say that 99% of the time, i never have lag. I do not think i have ever seen a host migration. Now. I am playing by myself most of the time, but my connection has been just about perfect on every game. I rarely go negative. My K/D has been the best its ever been.
So, im not sure what the deal is, but I actually really like Ghost.
*back on Subject - Dave, take your break and have fun and enjoy it. I just hope someone else is in charge of the Applications or maybe your still doing those, just not playing Xbox... | |

That has to be a problem with YOUR connection if you are on Xbone. | |

| Check your signal loss,
I had old cat5 wires, I had 26% packet loss when I first got the xbox one. I upgraded to new Cat6 and I have 0% packet loss now
You can check your MP settings in the settings menu | |

| Settings>Network Settings>Test your connection
The last option to test your connection will give you a real good report similar to Speedtest would give on your computer.
It will give details on your download/upload/ping/packet loss.
I get some lag but have never gotten a host migration. I did get a disconnect once but it was my connection I think.
I really like the way the X1 gives you some info other than "You are connected."

| Okra beat me to it, so I had to modify my post:
You should check "detailed network statistics" in the network setting menus. That will measure your latency(to Xbox live servers in Washington State, that won't be your connection to games), download and upload speeds, packet loss, and something called MTU
Do that and post the results. The Xbox one has some problems playing well with some routers and modems, that will cause significant packet loss and connection difficulties.
If we see a problem with those tests we might be able to diagnose your trouble. But if you are "losing connection" there is something wrong. | |
