Is it just me or is this a problem.

I have sat the last 2 days struggling to find games on Multiplayer live.  Not just team deathmatch but all of them.

It took me 1hr 15 min to eventually get a game yesterday and even then it was only 8 players.  As soon as the game ended, 1 dropped out and we were stuck again.

Today, same story.  45 min to get a game and then 3 drop out and stuck again for another 30 min.

Every time I try It goes to 1% to 0% back and forth and eventually says can't download the compatibility pack or It will go to 100% then to pending

I recently upgraded from the Xbox 360 version to the PS4 version to play with a co-worker, however whenever either of us tries to join the other's game session, we receive the error message "Unable to join game session".  Both of our NAT Types are open and I recently connected an ethernet cable to my router to play with a wired connection.  I even disabled my router's firewall to attempt to connect to his game session or vice versa.  I have also power cycled my modem and router.  When playing online this week I have occasional rubberbanding issues.  Is this an issue with my ISP or is there something wrong on Activision's end?  We were able to play a game of MLB 14 together (though I did experience some instances of severe lag during that game) so it's not the NAT issue.  Any advice would be extremely appreciated as I've been searching for an answer for the past 3 days.

I cannot join any party and nobody can join my party? i need help

******IF YOU HAVE NOT FINISHED CALL OF DUTY GHOSTS THIS DISCUSSION WILL CONTAIN FULL SPOILERS OF THE ENDING AND OTHER PARTS OF THE GAME OF THE GAME. IF YOU HAVE NOT COMPLETED THE GAME, DO NOT CONTINUE ANY FURTHER*****

****YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED****

So, at the ending of ghosts, Hesh tells Merrick to launch a ROD at the train they are on if he says the word "Checkmate", stating in the loading sequence before the mission that he had learned something from his and Logan's now deceased dad, that you do anything to complete the mission "no matter the cost."

So the burst through the train door, and in mid "bursting" (I guess) logan grabs the magnum from rorke, and kills the guards in the room with it, using rorke as a body shield. Then rorke gets control of logan and shoots Hesh in the stomach with the magnum. Then Hesh says "Checkmate". And the strike comes in.

It doesnt directly hit the train but it hits the track like a half mile in front of them. Causing the train to go plummeting off the track into the lake below.

So you wake up, underwater in the train, upside down, and Rorke grabs the gun, but Hesh gets up behind him and hits him in the back of the head with a fire extinguisher. (IMO he should be at least knocked out at this point). You grab the gun as Hesh and Rorke are struggling on the ground MW2 style, and point the magnum at rorke. BUT GUESS WHUATT! Its empty.... So Hesh throws you bullets while struggling. Rorke tries to stop you but hesh keeps him at bay while you load the gun. Hesh gets rorke in a headlock type posistion behind him, and you shoot rorke in the gut. And it looks like it kille hesh top. Because both are now on the ground motionless. Then the glass in the train breaks and water floods in.

Thats where the game should have ended.

But no... theres more. You wake up again underwater, rorkes dead body floating there. You go and grab hesh, looking very dead of course. And swim while carrying him up to the surface. And land on a beach. GUESS WHUATT! Hesh isnt dead. He coughs out some water and says something like "Logan, you did it, hes dead" as you drag him over to a rock. You then as brothers lay against the rock and watch as RODS blow up the rest of the federation fleet. As hesh calls merrick for evac.

I guess I wouldve been fine if they ended it here

IGN.com Said that what happens next is an alternate ending. Their video for this is called alternate ending. With a description saying you need to meet certain requirements to see it, but they dont state the requirements, and I havent seen any other endings online. Let me know if you got a different one. Cause at the moment im assuming this is cannon.

BUT NO. The credits start rolling, and the game is like PSYCH! Still not over. Rorke is miraculously still alive. He grabs you and says something like "there will be no more ghosts". and drags you away.

A little pissed at this ending. I feel like I got nothing done. And its just a milk ploy for IW to make a sequel. Logans going to turn against the ghosts or something. STUPID.

The game wouldve been much more profound if it wouldve ended with hesh saying checkmate and the train blowing up. They gave their lives for killing rorke. WAY BETTER. I also wouldve been fine with them leaving it at them sitting on the beach together waiting for extraction like they led you to believe. But no, they went and took a dump on the games story.

So what do you guys think? Are you mad, happy, have you gotten a different ending? Id like some closure here. Tell me below.

As many of you know COD Ghosts has a really bad Hack going on right now for the last month. It has been confirmed by Activision and thousands of players each day are being banned. You do not get a second chance anymore if you hack you lose the account no matter what you purchased for DLC or extras. Here is my list many are not obvious in game but the website that i saw this on lets you change anything you want to make it hard to find the real cheaters.

* All Characters

* All Load outs

* All Emblems & Patches

* All Camos & Gear

* Unlimited Squad points

* Unlock Use Any Perks

* Unlock All Kill Streaks

* Prestige Anytime to any level

* Have Any Rank

* Change stats

* Unlock Special weapons Mini Gun & Wild Widow Magnum

* Aimbot can be changed for different areas of body Headshots, Chest & Torso

* Aim Assist player will lock onto you and weapon only fires when you are visible not missing any shots

* Wall hack player can see you throu all walls at all times

* Advanced UAV player can see you on mini map at all times

* Knifebot auto-kill with knife within proximity of enemy

* Autoprone will put you in prone when fired at

* AutoSwitch bot goes to next enemy on auto

* Autoshoot fires for you

* AutoWall fires when a bullet can go through the wall

* AutoZoom makes the gun zoom when aimed

* Field Of View adjust the aimbot to see 360

* Human Aim, makes you look like your not cheating

* Aim Speed can be set to slow or fast

* AimKey hold down to lock on to the enemy

* Visibility Check only locks on when player can be hit

* Adjustable colors

* Locate all dogs

* See Dropped Weapons and Explosives

* Alerts when opponents or Explosives are nearby

* View where enemies are aiming

* Adjustable Enemy, Team and Weapon Colors

* Set the fade of the radar & stats

* Four slots to save settings

* Ability to move menu

* No Spread, all bullets hit dead center

* Adjustable stats player can change K/D and winning %

* Assault/ Support Kill Streaks player can use Assault kill streaks even when he dies and still gets them at his bonus like Support

These hacks are really hard to spot but Kill cams dont really lie. If you notice a player pre firing around every corner that you are near even while using any perks that he could not possibly know that you are waiting for him its a good chance he is using Wall hack. If you notice a player always getting head shots and not missing any shots he is using Auto Aim and assist. None of your perks will work against these hacks. I had to look up the hack myself on google > videos to see what this hack will give you.

The 1 thing that is a clear give away is time played if you have under 6 days played and you are master prestige you are full of Sh_t and a cheater. Also players that have winning % well over 10% not likely especially if they are not in a party. Kill death ratio's that are extreme but when you look at lobby leaderboards they are below average. Im sorry but if your that good in lifetime stats then you should have no problem playing that way all the time.

I have done lots of re search on this post and have talked to Activision about it and gave them all this information too which is why thousands are being banned everyday now. I hope all this information is useful. Report those that you think are cheating and let Activision take care of it. Watch kill cams dont report players that are just good and beating you because you are not. If none of you believe me that these hacks are true. Google Ghosts Hacks and watch some videos

Below is a common list of questions/issues that people are having with Clans for Ghosts and if known the information on how to fix it. I will add more issues/fixes as we find them. Feel free to link people to this thread if they have one of these issues.

1) Where can I get the new Call of Duty Mobile app for my device?

iOS / Android / Windows Phone / Windows 8.1

List of Compatible Phones - Activision Support (not entirely complete as the HTC One is also compatible but not on the list)

11/12 Update - If you are on an android and received the "not compatible" message, then I would recommend trying it again. If all you see are the 4 ads for the app, swipe from the right to the left underneath the ads to see the login screen.

2) Potential Android solution for the play store stating your phone is "Not Compatible"

The app was recently updated in the play store to support many new phones and even Android Tablets so please visit the play store and try again.

3) How can I delete my clan?

If you have other members in your clan, you can transfer ownership to them. You do this by selecting the member (in-game or on the mobile app) and change their role. Making them the Commander or Clan Leader will give them access to the clan. From that point on you should be able to leave the clan.

If you are the only member in the clan then you will need to either invite someone else into the clan and transfer ownership to them. Unfortunately there isn’t a way to leave a clan if you are the only member in it. You will need to contact @ATVIAssist and hope that they can help you with this until a better solution is presented.

4) Why can’t I leave my clan?

If you are the only clan member than see the topic of “How can I delete my clan” above.  If you are not the leader then you can leave the clan a couple different ways. One is by accepting another clan’s invite (in-game or on the mobile app) or by applying to another person’s clan. On the mobile app you can leave the clan without joining another clan by clicking on the “Leave Clan” button (helmet with left arrow) at the top of the Clan screen.

On 11/7 there was supposedly a patch that allows you to leave your clan regardless of being the commander/clan leader.

Another method you can use to try and leave your clan is as follows: If you cannot leave via cod app go to your online multiplayer on your console/gaming platform and where it says press Y for friends hit that and hit right until it shows you in your clan tab, highlight yourself then hit A and select leave clan.

5) How do I edit my clan Name, Tag, Motto, and Emblem? Where do I manage my clan?

These can only be modified from the mobile app at this point. Open the app and then click on the “Menu” icon in the bottom left. From there choose “My Clan”. Click on the “Manage Clan” button in the upper right (helmet with gear on it). From hear you can modify your Name, Tag, Motto, and Emblem.

6) Where is the Clan Website for Ghosts?

At this point they have NOT released a website that allows you to manage your clan for Ghosts. The only way to do this is to use the Mobile App. This is not ideal and hopefully they will release a website soon, but in the meantime your only option is to use one of the mobile apps.

A tweet from BeachHead Studios indicates that there won't be a PC application or a website: Twitter / beachheadstudio: @BrewDude19 There are no plans ...

6a) Reasons for Creating a new clan system

Many wonder why they got rid of Elite and created a new clan system. Let me elaborate on this a little bit.

1 - Elite had LOTS of issues including lots of data issues.

2 - Elite was platform specific (a clan was only for one platform)

3 - Elite clan leveling was based off of Clan Ops/Clan challenges

4 - Elite hadn't been touched in over a year

5 - Ghosts was platform agnostic (a clan spans all platforms)

6 - Ghosts clan leveling was entirely different system

7 - There was a much bigger plan with Ghosts especially on the mobile front so it made sense to start from scratch rather than upgrade an already very buggy system

That being said, I still think it is a MAJOR mistake for them to not have a website version as well.

7) Why does the link to allow people join my clan or that allowed me to manage my clan not work anymore?

This functionality was part of the Early Registration process that they had setup for clans. It is not applicable anymore.

8) How do I mark the clan as not accepting applications?

At this point there is not an option to indicate that you are not accepting applications in the mobile app or in-game.

9) How does my clan earn XP?

You can earn Clan XP 3 different ways in Ghosts:

1) Play any multiplayer game mode with 1 or more clan members (must be at least 2 clan members)

A Win = 50 Clan XP per clan member in the lobby

A loss = 10 Clan XP per clan member in the lobby

2) Participate in the Clan vs Clan mode

A Win = 100 Clan XP per clan member in the lobby(400 XP Total)

A Loss = 20 Clan XP per clan member in the lobby(80 XP Total)

3) Participate in the Clan Wars mode
Clan Wars may eventually have some final rewards at the end of the War where your clan receives some Clan XP but otherwise the only Clan XP you may earn is from playing with clan members in the multiplayer game modes.

Clan Ops and Clan Challenges are gone. They were part of COD Elite which is for BO2/MW3 and Ghosts is using an entirely new system.

10) Why does the Mobile app tell me that “You must play a multiplayer game”?

You need to play a game or two and wait for the data to propagate. Shortly thereafter you should be able to get into the application. I’d suggest logging out of the application and then logging back in if it is not working for you. This should resolve itself over time as it is not finding any data for you. If it’s been an extensive amount of time than you may need to contact @ATVIAssist on Twitter for assistance.

11/4 Note - If you are on Steam and are getting this message, they are having issues with connecting these and are working on the situation. Source

11/7 - It appears that this is still an issue for many players

11/8 Update - Twitter / beachheadstudio: If you are seeing "You need ...

11) My Clan Tag is not showing up in the game after I set it? Why?

The clan tag takes a little bit of time to propogate to people's systems...thus it isn't instantly available. I played a game and then it started showing up for people. It should show up just give it a little bit of time. Also, make sure that the game is saying that you are in the game as well as the app. If one or the other does not list you in the clan then refer to #17.

12) The "Clan Invites" option is disabled in my in-game Barracks. How can I manage my invites?

If you are the leader of a clan, this option is disabled at all times as you are not allowed to leave a clan if you are the leader.  If you are not the leader, then it is likely disabled purely because you don't have any pending invites. This does not seem to be an issue with the option, just a bad UI choice to show it as locked rather than show it as having no invites.

13) Various Clan Items are disabled for me such as Clan vs Clan modes, Clan Details, etc? How do I fix this?

Various reports have popped up where these options are all disabled for some users when they are doing what they are supposed to. I don't know of a true fix for this other than to make sure each member is showing up as being in the clan in the in-game menus. If you still have issues with this I would suggest contacting @ATVIAssist and/or @Beachheadstudio to see if they can help with this.

Note that some users may be glitched and appearing in 2 different clans and the game may not truly be seeing them as being in your clan thus the reason why the Clan vs Clan mode is disabled. See #17 for more details.

14) Why am I being randomly moved from clan to clan?

This is a known issue that they are investigating. Here is a tweet from @Beachheadstudio on 11/7/2013. Twitter / beachheadstudio: We are aware of and investigating ...

See 11/14 Update for #17 for way to possibly fix this and get back into the right clan.

15) Why is the App not available in my region?

This is up to the developer to release the app in their own region. You may be able to find the app somewhere other than on the official playstore that could work but officially you need to wait till they release it in your region.

16) I keep getting a "Not Authorized" error when trying to manage my clan.

Many people are suffering from the "Not Authorized" error. Not sure what is causing it. The only suggestion I have is to log out and log back in from the application. If that doesn't fix it, let Beachhead know you are having the issue by contacting them on twitter @beachheadstudio.

11/8 Update - Twitter / beachheadstudio: If you are seeing the "Not ...

11/12 Update - Twitter / beachheadstudio: If you are still seeing the ...

Beachhead Studio @beachheadstudio

If you are still seeing the "not authorised" message in clan management, please log out and in again. This should solve the problem.

17) The app/game are stating that I'm in two clans or the App says one clan and the game says another!

Some people's rosters are all screwed up due to this where in-game it shows 5 members but in the app it shows 4 or for others it shows someone in the clan but they are obviously glitched as when you go to Clan vs Clan it doesn't work. Attempts to leave one of the clans is also futile as you constantly get errors saying things like "You are no longer apart of this clan". Some are reporting that the app sees them in one clan but the game sees them in another (or not in one at all). I believe these all stem from the same data issue where they are somehow associated with 2 different clans.

This is a known bug/issue that may be related to #14. They are aware of this and looking into it, but no word on when a fix is expected. You can try to log out of the mobile app and log back in (forcing a refresh of your data). I have not heard of any workarounds to this either so your only option seems to be to have patience and hope Beachhead fixes this. You can contact them on Twitter @Beachheadstudio and see if they can give you any additional assistance but don't expect much.

11/14 Workaround: If the app says someone is in your clan but they really aren't (ie they don't appear in the clan on the Xbox), here's how to fix it:

1 - Have the clan leader use the mobile app and kick you from the clan

2- Have the user Log into the mobile app

3 - Go to the My Clan section

4 - Click on the Leave Clan Icon

5 - Log out of the mobile app

6 - Repeat items 2-5 until you are no longer in a clan (they may find themselves in a few different clans)

7 - Have the person invite you into the clan you want to join.

Original source of the 11/14 update solution was from EaRtHQuAkE!

18) What are the clan rewards that are unlocked at each level? And how do we unlock them?

You can view the full list of rewards and at what level they are unlocked at the following site: Ghosts Clan Rewards

These items are unlocked right when your clan levels up to the desired level. See #9 to learn how to earn clan XP. Note that the double XP that is awarded at some levels is double Clan XP, not double player XP. It is activated the minute the clan reaches that level and you don't get a choice as when to activate it.

19) I get "UNKNOWN ERROR invalid clan tag" when trying to set my clan tag. What is wrong?

A clan tag must be between 3 and 4 characters long. Typically this error is seen when attempting to set it to 2 characters. Special characters should also be avoided.

20) How do I display my clan tag on a PC?

The PC version of the game does not currently support using your clan tag and thus the only way to do it is by putting it as part of your Steam ID.

11/14 Update - Twitter / beachheadstudio: Clan tags not showing in game ...

21) How do I remove a clan member whose profile says "Data did not load" when I try to go into it?

1. Go into the "My Clan" section of the clan.
2. Click on the "Manage Clan" icon.
3. Click on "Clan Roster"
4. Click on the "Configure" icon (helmet with gear) in the upper right.
   This button toggles showing the K/D and Win Ratio with showing the Change Role and Kick buttons.
5. Find the member you want in the list and choose "Kick"
6. You will get a prompt that says "Are you sure you want to kick co-leader [NAME] from the clan? Click the "Yes" button

22) I was the leader of my clan and I got kicked out or am now listed twice but have lost my commander priveleges. How do I fix this? I also sometimes see "You cannot apply to this clan since you withdrew earlier"...

To fix this you need to talk to @Beachheadstudio and/or @ATVIAssist on Twitter to see if they can help you out. There is no known fix for this other than to talk to them and Twitter is their main form of support.  Here's a possible Tweet you can send them:

@Beachheadstudio @ATVIAssist My commander (GAMERTAG) is listed as a commander & soldier but has no commander rights. How do we get this fixed?

or

@Beachheadstudio @ATVIAssist I (GAMERTAG) am listed as a commander & soldier but have no commander rights. How do I get this fixed?

We appreciate your feedback, so please continue sending it. We're working hard over here to get fixes and updates out to you as soon as we can! Be sure to follow @InfinityWard for future updates!

******IF YOU HAVE NOT FINISHED CALL OF DUTY GHOSTS THIS DISCUSSION WILL CONTAIN FULL SPOILERS OF THE ENDING AND OTHER PARTS OF THE GAME OF THE GAME. IF YOU HAVE NOT COMPLETED THE GAME, DO NOT CONTINUE ANY FURTHER*****

****YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED****

So, at the ending of ghosts, Hesh tells Merrick to launch a ROD at the train they are on if he says the word "Checkmate", stating in the loading sequence before the mission that he had learned something from his and Logan's now deceased dad, that you do anything to complete the mission "no matter the cost."

So the burst through the train door, and in mid "bursting" (I guess) logan grabs the magnum from rorke, and kills the guards in the room with it, using rorke as a body shield. Then rorke gets control of logan and shoots Hesh in the stomach with the magnum. Then Hesh says "Checkmate". And the strike comes in.

It doesnt directly hit the train but it hits the track like a half mile in front of them. Causing the train to go plummeting off the track into the lake below.

So you wake up, underwater in the train, upside down, and Rorke grabs the gun, but Hesh gets up behind him and hits him in the back of the head with a fire extinguisher. (IMO he should be at least knocked out at this point). You grab the gun as Hesh and Rorke are struggling on the ground MW2 style, and point the magnum at rorke. BUT GUESS WHUATT! Its empty.... So Hesh throws you bullets while struggling. Rorke tries to stop you but hesh keeps him at bay while you load the gun. Hesh gets rorke in a headlock type posistion behind him, and you shoot rorke in the gut. And it looks like it kille hesh top. Because both are now on the ground motionless. Then the glass in the train breaks and water floods in.

Thats where the game should have ended.

But no... theres more. You wake up again underwater, rorkes dead body floating there. You go and grab hesh, looking very dead of course. And swim while carrying him up to the surface. And land on a beach. GUESS WHUATT! Hesh isnt dead. He coughs out some water and says something like "Logan, you did it, hes dead" as you drag him over to a rock. You then as brothers lay against the rock and watch as RODS blow up the rest of the federation fleet. As hesh calls merrick for evac.

I guess I wouldve been fine if they ended it here

IGN.com Said that what happens next is an alternate ending. Their video for this is called alternate ending. With a description saying you need to meet certain requirements to see it, but they dont state the requirements, and I havent seen any other endings online. Let me know if you got a different one. Cause at the moment im assuming this is cannon.

BUT NO. The credits start rolling, and the game is like PSYCH! Still not over. Rorke is miraculously still alive. He grabs you and says something like "there will be no more ghosts". and drags you away.

A little pissed at this ending. I feel like I got nothing done. And its just a milk ploy for IW to make a sequel. Logans going to turn against the ghosts or something. STUPID.

The game wouldve been much more profound if it wouldve ended with hesh saying checkmate and the train blowing up. They gave their lives for killing rorke. WAY BETTER. I also wouldve been fine with them leaving it at them sitting on the beach together waiting for extraction like they led you to believe. But no, they went and took a dump on the games story.

So what do you guys think? Are you mad, happy, have you gotten a different ending? Id like some closure here. Tell me below.
