Re: Call of Duty: Whatever the fuck this one's suffix is

Ghosts was the worst entry in the series and I still consider it decent. This latest release is getting pretty good word of mouth and I know very little about the overall story. But locking zombie mode behind the $50 season pass is goddamn disgusting and that really pisses me off. Target is doing a ...
