I'm thinking about picking up CoD Ghosts for the 360, but I'm worried about the playerbase and connectivity. AI going to be able to find regular matches with people who aren't from the other side of the world?

I wouldn't count on it. Most people tend to be critical of Ghosts and Advanced Warfare's just right around the corner as is.

It was on sale for $5 earlier, but if you missed that and can't get it cheap, I'd say skip it.

I think it's like $8 used on Amazon. So plenty cheap. But I don't want to pay that if I'm only going to get frustration and lag.

Ghosts is near universally loathed by the CoD community, and with the player base being split between six different platforms, the end of its life cycle will hit the game harder than previous titles.

Ghosts is not nearly as bad as many people like to say it is. Functionally it plays better than the previous three CoDs. Gun balance isn't terrible, not that it matters all that much. Shotguns and snipers could use a buff but that's nothing new. IEDs are a problem that likely won't ever be fixed. Amplify shouldn't exist. Spawns can be wonky, and dom has some of the stupidest B flag placements I've ever seen. Other that that there's not much wrong with the game, and extinction is probably worth the $8 by itself.

I want to clarify: I'm not asking whether Ghosts is a good game or not. I've read about it and I like what I've seen. My concern is purely with the connection. I won't play the single player or the co-op. I'm only trying to assess whether I can get into a game where people aren't teleporting.

I personally didn't think it was a bad game. It was very well balanced, just bland and boring.

You can still get into a game on CoD4 where people aren't teleporting. I don't think you'll have too much trouble with that unless you live in australia.

I tend to find MW2 best for connection and player count.

If connection is your main requirement, get it.
For me, it is better than BO2 was, and infinitely to the infinite power better than MW3's connection was

I hopped on PS4 last night and there were still 25k players. 360 is probably comparable or higher.

Oh where oh WHERE did CoD developers go so wrong since then? MW2's connection was practically spotless in my fond experiences.

Hmm it's very different on PC, BO1 had the best connection because it has true dedi on PC. Ghost's connection and hit detection is also amazing. MW2 on other hand, is good but not as good as BO1 or Ghost. MW3 IMO had better hit detection than MW2, but more lag compensation BS too.

Last I checked you can STILL find people playing CoD 3 on PS3, so I don't see why it'd be "too late" to play CoD: Geist Bro.

Its not too late to find games. Its a recommended pass because its the worst game in the series.

I thoroughly enjoyed CoD Geist Bro, thank you.
