Fresh but familiar

Bogeymen: The titular Ghosts are an elite team of fighters that have been a pain the occupying Federation's posteriors following the fall of the United States.

Ghosts is polished and fun, but fails to push the series forward in any major ways.

SINCE 2008, every Call of Duty release has featured a Modern Warfare or Black Ops subtitle in its name. After finishing the Modern Warfare story with the decisive conclusion of its third entry, Infinity Ward had every chance to inject the long-running series with new life. With Ghosts, the developer introduced a new universe, populated it with a new cast, and brought the franchise to a new generation of consoles. One thing the studio hasn’t done is introduce significantly new elements to the gameplay experience.
