Call of Duty: Ghosts Character Customization Expectations

Call of Duty: Ghosts' multiplayer recently hit our computer screens today during their multiplayer live stream. The game really looks great in some of it's shining new looks. One of the key new features in Call of Duty: Ghosts that caught my eye is the ability to customize your character (or characters..).

In various video games, we have the ability to customize our character, from character skins to character hats, clothing, etc. Games such as Halo, Battlefield and Team Fortress 2 have these features, although Battlefield only let's you change your character skin but Halo allows you to change your super soldier around. Also, Team Fortress 2 customization is there, but you have to find the items to customize with randomly as you play, and it takes some time to get a single hat.

Judging by the top picture, Call of Duty: Ghosts will have a variety of options to choose from for your individual soldiers. What do I expect when I customize a character on Call of Duty: Ghosts?

►Various different character customization options

Seeing how the menu is panned out in different images, I hope that we will be able to choose from many different outfits when creating a soldier, preferably customization that allows us to customize our soldier from the toes up.

►Custom emblems anybody?

Another fancy feature I hope for (but might not happen) is the ability to create a custom emblem, much like Black Ops' system, and stick it anywhere or a variety of selected spots on your soldier. This would make him truly apart of your squad.

►Armour Skins

Much like Battlefield, it would be nifty to have different armour skins that can match your gun camo. Example, urban camo, forest, etc.

►Not Ugly?

Let's be real, no body here wants un-appealing armour for their soldier. I'm pointing at you Halo 4.

►Cosmetic

Having armour that changes the game wouldn't be fair for many other low ranks and could effect balancing issues.

Those are pretty much all my expectations. They clear up what I wish for character customization in a Call of Duty game. I love being able to touch up your character in any sort of game, really to make myself look distinct from others and, well, badass. Being able to unlock different sets of looks really will increase the incentive to play Call of Duty, and will benefit Call of Duty in the future provided everything works out well, which it should.
