That polygon review was bad, I got a chance to see it before it was taken down. I'm no cod superfan, but what I've seen of ghosts has me guardedly optimistic, and this review was brutal. The complaints from the reviewer about multiplayer sound like they're not coming from a fan of the genre.
The perks/attachment system is too complicated? It looks deeper to me, which seems good after the simpler pick 10 system.
Cosmetic customizations don't affect gameplay? You don't say...
Only a handful of new modes? Well, the new ones seem to be well received, particularly Cranked. Most people TDM anyway.
Loss of theatre mode? That does sorta suck, but it introduced lag so losing it might be justified.
The campaign sucks? Well, that part's probably true.
