‘Cause ghosts say “boo”

Call of Duty: Ghostshas done decidedly less well than usual with critics. Gaming everyman Chris Cartercalled for astop to annualization.Call of Dutyfan Jim Sterling evengave it a 5. Still, the litmus test forCoDsuccess is always sales. Activision doesn’t slow up its shoveling of a franchise until it sees a sales dive.

The future of theGhostssubseries is not yet decided. Speaking to Metro, when asked ifGhostswas a planned trilogy or just two games, Infinity Ward Producer Mark Rubin said, “Don’t know. Actually don’t know. Until we start finishing up this story.”

I guess the campaign’s end strongly suggests a sequel, but it might just be the one. “The full context of that story to come is being worked on as we speak,” Rubin said. So expect a sequel, ideallyCall of Duty: Ghost Dad, in 2015, after Treyarch takes their next shot.

Given thatGhostsis the next generation console debut, I expected a bit more from it, but it seems like it should’ve just stayed asModern Warfare 4and not given people higher hopes. What direction do you want Treyarch to take the series? Or willTitanfallfinally topple theCall of Dutyjuggernaut as EA so desperately hopes?
