Wait, what!? Is this seriously true. The game doesn't even look next gen regardless of 1080p or 720p, but why has the current gen player count gone down? Hell it doesn't even look that great for a late current gen title compared to bf4. Bf4 on current is 24 players.

wasnt that the normal number of players in most modes?

Ground war had 9 vs 9 before i think. Most people played 6 vs 6 anyways.

dafuq? hasn't it always been 8v8?

EDIT: it was 9v9 for ground  wars...I thought it was 8v8 for TDM....

Infinity Ward may have had a hard time developing with the "new Engine" a long with new hardware.  Not really sure.  In two years when IW releases another game they will prob fix these issues as they get use to the newer hardware a little more and their new engine.

I think they got rid of ground war in Ghosts.

I thought it was 9vs 9? Don't remember, last one I played was mw2.

It was always 12 players in team death match
