Handler notes

THIS IS MADE FOR LEGIT STEAM VERSION WITH ALL DLCS, ANY OTHER VERSION YOU WILL HAVE PROBLEMS --DON'T ASK FOR HELP WITH THEM--.

Video tutorial/showcase: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4d33wK-omUs. The video shows how to start/connect to a match, what the shortcuts do, fixes for errors/crashes and a lot more, PLEASE WATCH IT BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS/GOING TO SUPPORT.

The saves per instance are stored inside Nucleus Co-op content folder so if you delete Nucleus or the game content folder, your Nucleus saves for this game will be lost (not your main game save).

The handler uses F2 Guest.exe, start.exe, F2 Host.exe, F3 Restart.exe, F4.exe and F5.exe they are made for a better experience in split screen, if they get deleted by your AV, just disable your AV when you are downloading the handler, they are needed else you will be getting a crash at the start.

Made with the help of PoundlandBacon and Perserveruz, their cod handlers made this possible, and the iw6-mod team, without their cod client this wouldn't be possible.

About Call of Duty: Ghosts

Call of Duty: Ghosts takes place following a catastrophic event that changed the global balance of powers in the world. As a result, the United States is no longer recognized as a superpower. Ten years after the event, an unseen enemy emerges as a threat, but the remnants of US special forces from every branch came together to create an elite group of soldiers known as the "Ghosts", who are determined to eradicate all threats to protect the weak and the remains of America.
