Sorry if this isn't the best thread for this, but I figured people here probably know more about CoD Ghosts than any other active threads. X-posting from Steam sale thread:

I picked up CoD: Ghosts for $15 since I've always enjoyed the CoD games despite their share of problems. Apparently the game really likes 6 gigs of RAM or more, but from what I've read it will run in 4 (which I have). I've literally never seen a game before that claims to require more than 4 gigs of RAM, so I wasn't paying attention.

Am I correct in assuming that the Steam version has all the proper patches, etc already applied to allow it to run in 4 gigs? So far I can't get past the loading screens and into an actual mission, but I'm trying to figure out whether that's due to not having some patch that I need, or if I just need to tweak the Advanced graphics settings. I already have everything at near minimal settings. With a 2.8 GHz Core i5, 4 GB RAM, and GTX 460 w/ 1 GB of video RAM it doesn't seem like I should have to turn everything down to the bare minimum. CoD MW3 (edit: and Black Ops II) ran at near maximum graphical settings in the highest resolution with no problem, so Ghosts must be horrendously non-optimized and inefficient in comparison.

Anyone had luck playing the game on a similarly powered system? What settings worked if so?

Pretty sure Xbox live and the PlayStation network are getting ddosed right now. You'll just have to wait.

Ghosts on PC was pretty much an abortion and I don't think you'll find anyone even in the PC threads here that will be of much help. There's a reason it's the only COD game that's been on sale on Steam for more than something retarded like 10% off, and a reason it's less popular on Steam than Blops 1 as of like last month.

I did this and could have stopped it, but nothing in nature ever follows a gaussian curve. Sure, they'll tell you that it does. They say that every five minutes someone dies in a car accident, but how often are there seven hundred and sixty one armless and legless corpses in one hangar?
This is my fall-back game. I never play it for very long, but when I'm on my PS4 and I can't decide what I feel like playing, I start this up and go a few matches. It's a good one to have digitally for that reason, I think.

what horror the gas

I can log in to xbox live just fine but it took me like four tries to launch the game and it took a while to do that (fuckin' xbox) and I can't get into games. I'll either stall out on searching for a game, I'll be put into a lobby and be dropped, or it'll just stop out and say the connection to xbox live is interrupted.

All I want to do is get some ameli kills is that so much to ask?

Any tips on using the RW1? I really like idea of the gun and I want to pretend I'm Lance Hendriksen from Hard Target while using it, but I'm bad at Call of Duty and I miss with it or it hits but doesn't kill the person and he turns and kills me. What's the maximum range for the one-hit kill for it? What's that knife add-on do? Which add-on should be priority?

It's an over priced dual shock 4 with map able buttons. But it's a gift and was expensive, so I'd like to make sure it works properly.

It was on for several hours after 3am eastern last night. It was down again by 11, if not earlier.
