Awesome / Call of Duty: Ghosts

Go To

  • Mosley and Baker's Dying Moment of Awesome, taking down ODIN single-handedly, even though they knew that they are not going to make it back.
  • Being able to use Riley to use his jaws and take down a Federation soldier by ripping out his throat.
  • Taking over the LOKI system and using it to utterly annihilate an entire Federation army & navy in less than five minutes. Oh-so-satisfying to drop their own Rods of God right on top of the bastards and see fifty tanks go up in flames with every shot.
  • This is the first Call of Duty game to feature zero-gravity combat in outer space, and it's actually pretty awesome.
  • Operation Clockwork. Authorized by POTUS, it involves the Ghosts infiltrating a secure Federation facility in the Andes mountain range.
    • Like the Baikonur Cosmodrome infiltration, the mission operators put the enemy uniforms they procured to good use. Unlike what happened on Baikonur, despite being forced to get past the guards with guns blazing, they managed to exit the facility without tipping off the Federation soldiers. At least, until they reached the security checkpoint on the Humvee.
    • After entering the facility, the Ghosts cut the power. What follows after equipping the night vision goggles can be summarized by two words: Clean house.
    • After getting to the computer, it was Hold the Line against the soldiers coming to the Ghosts' position.
  • The mission "Severed Ties" has the United States launching an airborne assault on a Federation facility... by dropping friggin' tanks out of heavy lift cargo planes.
  • The final mission, with Hesh and Logan pursuing Rorke on a train, and before entering the platform Rorke is in, ordered Merrick to have the LOKI satellite to fire on their position in case Rorke gets the upper hand. A shame it still isn't enough to kill him.
    Hesh: Checkmate.
    Merrick: Checkmate confirmed.
    Rorke: What was that? What did you do?!
    Hesh: You lost, Rorke. It's over.
    Rorke: Shit, son...
  • The arrival of the Free Fall multiplayer map on the Wii U making this the first CoD Downloadable Content to ever hit a Nintendo platform.
  • Logan and Hesh using a fire extinguisher to clear a room.
  • Rorke is the only COD main antagonist to survive the final mission. (Not counting Menendez, of course, as 2 of 3 endings can get him killed.)
