Call of Duty: Ghosts Will Let You Play as the Dog

[wooty]

Well this is....good news(?) I really can't wait to bark my arse infront of this game and have a howling good time.

 

[Snazzymathematics]

Eh, I'm still a bit iffy on buying it. You'll probably play as the Steven McRuffinghan the third for one mission before never playing as him again. Like all the awesome gadgets that would've made an amazing game if you could use them anytime in Black Ops 2.

That...does not sound like it's going to be fun. Characters in CoD already bark orders at you to do certain things. "Wait til my signal to shoot that guy!", "Get behind cover!", "Get that missle launcher!"...Yah, I don't want to actually become a dog so I can get told to do even more tedious tasks.

 

[The White Hunter]

HOLY FUCK that's the first new-sounding thing that series has provided in a long time. Still following in the footsteps of older games like Jet Force Gemini and Dead to Rights: Retribution, but still, I'm glad to see they're actually doing something different than the last few games.

I've got $5 that says the dog dies and you're supposed to feel sad about it. Also, I've got another $5 that says it's gonn a let you control the obnoxious broken killstreak dogs.

So very not sold on this...

And sadfly I do like COD, but all that needs to happen for it to be worthless to me is for Killzone: Shadow Fall to offer splitscreen multiplayer with bots.

And the playable section ends with the dog diving in-front of you, slow-mo Bodyguard-style as it takes a bullet for you, and then your human kills the guy that shot you. I'm not sure if this is better or worse than the death scenario I came up with the dog that I posted in one of the podcast comment sections.

 

[Best of the 3]

Does that mean I can press X to take a shit on enemy?

Collar of Duty! Those terrorists are really barking up the wrong tree this time! Surely such an elite strike force will give paws to their actions. Maybe even send them running with their tail between their legs.

And people say that CoD never innovates.

they don't, another game who's name escapes me at the moment did the 'play as a dog' thing to, Yahtzee reviewed it awhile ago as I recall.

That said, this is still kinda cool, not enough to make me wanna a CoD game in my home, but still cool

 

[Saltyk]

I'm not really sure playing as a dog is something to really advertise as being something worth noting. Might as well advertise being able to control the Metal Gear Mk II in MGS4. This doesn't seem any different to me.

Anyway, I don't really plan to buy this game. The only way I would is if my friends and I all buy the same console, and they buy it. Which would basically be so I could play with them. That's my two cents.

IF THE DOG DIES I SWEAR WE'RE THROUGH INFINITY WARD!

I just can't do dogs in games man... They always die and it's heartbreaking </3

[sub]Yes i'm a dog person.[/sub]

I'm not one for CoD games anymore (skipped BO2 entirely and played next to no MW3) but shit son. Dogs.

Dead to Rights Retribution I believe it was. He was making Re-word jokes the whole time.

 

[Drops a Sweet Katana]

FUCKING SOLD! Truly this will change the face of gaming as we know it. How much are people willing to bet that they'll off the dog for some cheap shock value?

Fuck me a remember that game. It was trippy as hell.

OT: They'd better not kill the fucking dog. Dogs dying is always sad.

 

[Hero in a half shell]

When I ask this, I ask it with all the bitter, sarcastic irony my overwieght British corpse can muster:

But how is it going to hold the gun?

Ah. We are witnessing history here, behold the creation of a brand new genre: the First Person Biter

 

[UnnDunn]

Now let's have dog gameplay in multiplayer... make it a scorestreak or something.

That's what I'm guessing they'll end up doing. It'll likely be similar to a chopper-gunner or something in that you'll run off and hide your actual guy before calling in the dog, at which point you open a little computer that "gives the dog directions", letting you play as the dog.

I imagine it playing just like the RC-XD scorestreak in Black Ops, only with more leaping bites and fewer self-detonations.

 

[L4Y Duke]

...that's been done before. Back in the 1990's, too.

The original Rise of the Triad had a powerup that turned you into a dog for a period. The new one's going to have the same power up as well.

So, anyone want to take bets on how long it takes PETA to come up with a "parody" of this?
