Många blev besvikna över att kommande Call of Duty: Ghosts inte ser mer grafiskt avancerat ut än det gör med tanke på de nya konsolerna som är på väg. I en intervju med Official Playstation Magazine förklarar dock producenten Mark Rubin att det är helt medvetet och gjort med avsikt. Han ser nämligen Call of Duty som en sport man måste gå varsamt fram med.
"So you know, as a company in general, we don't want to jump onto the tech bandwagon too early. We're a little bit more conservative with that kind of thing. There is some cool new tech, but some of it we can't talk about because we are not talking multiplayer yet", säger Rubin.
Han utvecklar och avslutar resonemanget: "You watch sports every year, but if you changed the rules dramatically of a sport every year who would watch that? I don't think you would have as many people watching the sport. Like if soccer/football were all the sudden to switch from ‘OK you can't use your feet, you have to use your hands' Who'd watch that really?"
