Well :) it is COD (AKA a cheaters paradise)
But this one has ways to earn XP, without ever playing with cheaters!
In the first week before the first patch. You could earn as much XP points
playing squads, Squad vs Squad, Squads vs AI, Squad vs AI Wargames,
Safeguard Squad vs AI survival. Now you will earn three times more XP playing
in cheater games (Open Multiplayer) :(
There are somethings you can't unlock unless you play in the open multiplayer
games. So join, play look for the snap insta-kill cheaters, leave find another
game. I have played about 15 open multiplayer games. And have only played 3
with less then 4 cheaters. Not one yet without at least one cheater. But when
the cheats are released 3 weeks before the game. lol What do you expect?
Squads:
First and formost the BEST thing about squads NO CHEATERS :)
You get one player, you choose the default load-out then you use squad points to
unlock and upgrade that player. Then you can unlock and customize each player in
your squad, look, load-out, gender and color. Depending on which stock load-out you
choose, is what the that squad member will be given. Any other weapons, perks, kill
streaks you will need to buy with your earned squad points.
You can also un-equip your secondary weapon, grenades, flash bangs and replace them
with perks. I know people love the flash bangs, then no skill is needed to kill someone.
But dead silence perk lasts the whole game, not just one kill :)
If you have friends playing with you, they will replace your AI squad. You can set the
order that your AI squad is replaced.
Squad vs Squad
You challenge another squad. Then it's may the best squad win :)
In Squad vs Squad it can be one live person & 5 AI squad members.
Or all live squad members :)
Squad Assault
Your squad plays against another AI squad. That squad can belong to anyone playing the
game that has setup a squad. Your squad and the squad you play will both gain XP &
squad points. So you can be earning XP & squad points in the game you're playing. And
earning extra XP & squad points in another game where someone else is playing your squad.
Squad Wargames
Your squad plays against the call of duty ghosts AI. You set the level of the AI. Not as
challenging as Squad Assault. But you still gain the same XP & squad points.
Squads Safeguard
In safeguard it is survival :) You can play you against AI, or up to 4 players vs AI.
This one is really hard, each level of AI gets stronger, faster, better guns. You will
get support drops and supply drops. You can only pick up 3 kill streak items, that is if
you can make it to three. The best ones SENTRY GUNS! Stock them up and save them. You need
them to kill the riot shield boys. On your supply drops you can tap the USE key to change what's
in the box. Pick a good gun, tap for perks, double top for ammo.
Private - Combat Training
You don't earn any XP or squad points playing this. But everything is unlocked so it's a good place
to test weapons and perks. Before you spend squad points buying something that doesn't work for you.

Game fixes :)
Yes the game does run on SLI (two or more video cards)
If you have an SLI system, leave the SLI enabled. Under Manage 3D settings,
choose Program Settings, then iw6mp_ship.exe. Set SLI as single GPU, SLI
solved works fine and still uses all gpu's.
Video Lag
If you're having video lag. Click Options, first click Optimal Video. Then got to
Video Options, Advanced Video, Terrain Detail
OFF
That should fix any video lag.

Internet Lag
You will need to edit your multiplayer ping, by default it's set to max ping 800!
Keep in mind this is a configuration file and could get you
VAC BANNED. So
change at your own risk. I didn't do it and won't unless they say they will NOT BAN
you for doing it.
The file can be found here:
C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Call of Duty Ghosts\players2\config_mp.cfg
Or where ever your Steam games are installed. You can open the file with Notepad.
Look for this line
seta cl_maxPing "800" I wouldn't lower it too less then 100.
Over all it's graphic's aren't the best, they lied about a new game engine, dedicated
servers, unreal graphic's. So you will still get stuck playing on someones dam laptop
hosting! But that really only happens in the open multiplayer or Squad vs Squad.
Then no matter what you do the game will have mass lag :(
But with it's problems it is still by far the best Call of Duty game!
Just the fact that you are not forced to play with the normal COD cheaters!
And can still rank up, gain squad points & XP.
