At least this shit game of much shit has one thing going for it: it's made MW3 appear a hell of a lot more attractive. And that wasn't a very attractive game to begin with!

BO2 had extra loadouts for sale too.
The only new thing with Ghosts is the character skins and character customisation was not possible in BO2, and a skin for a dog, which again - as BO2 didn't have a comparable killstreak - they could not sell.
I wouldn't call it ridiculous. I'd call the people buying it ridiculous.
I know about the Blops 2 extra loadout "columns" if you will, however, that offered something that previous Call of Duty games did not have. Additional loadouts within each of those columns were gained through Prestige ranks. Now you get to buy them. Boy o boy.

Dunno if I should get it or not, was dead set on it before playing TF beta but now I'm not sure. At least new Extinction chapter should be fun, right?
BLOPS handled it by giving you 5 loadout columns at the start - and each time you prestiged you gained a token you could use to unlock another one so at Prestige 5 you could have the maximum allowed 10 slots
There was then a DLC 'option' which you could buy that gave you extra columns - this was done a good 6 months or so into the release cycle for the game so many people already had 'plenty' of slots
Ghosts starts you with just 3 slots with more can be unlocked for squad points but it does feel more restrictive at the start (thinking about it I would not be surprised if the timeline from release to making additional slots available to purchase is about the same for both games)

I'm not sure what you mean.
The additional class/loadout slots microtransaction is the same for Ghosts as it is BO2. They both bring your total loadout/class counts to 10. In BO2 you could unlock more per prestige and in Ghosts you unlock soldiers to achieve the same.
I've bought the season pass for the PS4 version just to play Extinction
See my post above - BLOPS2 started at 5 and when you bought the extra you got another 10 columns (so 50) - so that by Prestige 5 you either had 10 (no DLC) or 100 (DLC)
Your correct that you can unlock additional 'soldiers' to extend your choices for each match but each soldier starts back at level 1 with nothing beyond the basic equipment for that class whereas BLOPS each class was linked to your one soldier so all loadouts were at your current level.

For sure - but that's down to the different create-a-class systems between the two games.
The end result is the same once you've gone through prestiging or unlocking you'd have 100 on both.
You could argue that Ghosts can be more preferable due to you not needing to play for hours in order to prestige and unlock more.
It's slightly different. I bought the Black Ops 2 DLC, and I know what it is. When I say columns, I mean there are ten different sets of loadouts that you get to customize, and before each battle, you get to choose which set you're going in with. That set contains the typical 5+ loadouts. You earn more loadout slots within the sets through Prestige ranks.
With Ghosts, you only have one set (as far as I know), and the DLC is just to buy more loadout slots within that one set. The closest thing they've got to multiple sets is different squad members, but that's an awful grind.
It's hard to explain... and I guess I don't really care about all the microtransaction stuff after all.

Meanwhile the maps still aren't in matchmaking on 360 and Xbox One. (other than the dlc playlist obviously)

Curious to know if purchases made on the PS4 are also carried over to the PS3 version.

I have the season pass and cannot figure out how to download the map pack for PS4! What am I missing here?

No download link, this is what I get eveytime
VitaGAF 
Correct however the road to get there is quite different
What mangochutney is pointing out is that its the same for Ghosts if you think of each of your soldiers as one of those columns - you select the soldier at the start of the match and you have all the custom slots you have selected for that solider.
So if you bought the DLC for both you would have BLOPS with each game allowing you to select a column and then pick from the 10 class setups in that column and in GHOSTS selecting a solider and then pick from the 10 class setups for that solider.
Personally I much prefer the BLOPS way of handling things

Fucking finally, today's the day. Looking forward to running these new maps with my zombie themed custom game recipes.
Edit: I find out, it's from this pastebin. Seems legit especially as the images are linked from xbox.com
Where'd you find these? I'll buy the shit out of that hazmat suit.Still a rumor, but pretty much hinted at in a tweet before.
Also, there will be an Onslaught trial and an MP demo that includes Strikezone, Warhawk, and Prison Break, with TDM and Domination as the playable game modes.

Would totally get Zakhaev (only if he's missing his arm).

If you have the season pass I would say try downloading it from inside the game itself, that's how season passes usually work.
Edit: I was doing some googling and IMDB stuff, the voice actor that plays Rorke is fucking Waingro from Heat.

It doesn't auto download?

I doubt it since it's not an update, it's DLC.

Of course being on PS4 I'll probably have to wait until April for that Hazmat suit. It's so shitty.

@AskPlayStation: FYI - COD: Onslaught will be available for download later today. If you've already purchased please try downloading later.

I read that they're blaming Sony and PSN for not releasing title update necessary to initiate the download. Really shitty that the Buy option is active but as soon as you buy it there no download option in-game or in PSN store.

Hey guys,
I really don't want to go digging through 60+ pages to find out if Blops2 is better than Ghosts. I've got a Wii U and LOVE Blops 2 multiplayer. At most, though, there's about 1100 or so people playing it at peak, i think. I still haven't played through SP, and don't like Zombie mode. However, control is silky smooth, plays lightning fast, and is a great time whenever I hunker down to snuggle up with the gamepad.
Trade it in for Ghosts, or keep what I have?

Its up! Downloading now.
Infinity Ward also tweeted a very obvious hint that was of Makarov a day or two ago, so this is pretty legit.
If you have Black Ops 2 already, just stick with it. It's a fine game.
Confirmed already:

Plus Black Ops II is getting 4 more personalization packs out of nowhere.

That hazmat suit will be mine... After the obligatory Xbox family of consoles timed exclusivity ends.

You know what would be rad? If both of the new consoles understood you purchased a season pass at the system level, and just downloaded new content the second it was available.

Usually they go into the rotation after a month or two of being out. For the first two months they are alway separated.

You're right, that would be totally rad.
Played just a little of the new maps last night. Good stuff.
Unless it's BO2 then you could play them mixed in every game mode from day one lol
IW is pretty good at creating map fatigue. By the time they mix the DLC into playlists you're already sick of all that shit.

Anyone else notice there's a new weapon skin and reticle, War Cry? I guess it came with the map pack.
