    Gameplay: Generic, fast paced, COD. The main gimmick is the "advanced movement" which isn't that bad in the campaign, but in the Multi-Player the entire **** screen is an angle you can get shot from. I also hate the map design and the guns are really boring. No dedicated servers ether to I can only really play with bots as of today, the game is dead. 2/10 Bad

    Story: Campaign story isn't that bad. It's kind of just generic Hollywood and the main antagonist is so generic it's funny. The ending sequel baits as well. Also, F to pay respects. 4.5/10 Below average

    Exo Zombies: It's ass. 1/10 Truly Horrible

    Graphics: Pretty good for the time and they still kind of hold up today. Interior lighting looks better then exterior lighting and textures kinda look like **** compared to modern textures we have to day but overall, not bad. 5/10 average (If compared to graphics today).

    Sound: Guns sound fine, if a bit compressed and the music is also just meh.

    A game like this rests on the back of it's gameplay, which is bad, so overall 3/10. Not the worst COD game out there (WW2 is worse) but still far from good.    … Expand

    Una campaña decente pero con un port a PC desastrozo: Muchos crasheos, stuttering, porteado desde consola, no han incluido el doblaje hispanoamericano en PC y es muy difícil configurar la sensibilidad de apuntado y demás opciones (hay que hacerlo desde el archivo y no se siente bien de todas formas).
    No comprar.

Every other mechanic is the same and there STILL aren't any dedicated servers, so your connection will never be optimal.

    I can honestly say that this game is not terrible, it clearly doesn't deserve a 10, but it also very obviously doesn't deserve all the 0's and 1's it is getting. So far this is a very basic list of pro's and cons I have found

So far this is a very basic list of pro's and cons I have found

    Pro's
    _____
    - Movement from jetpack is fantastic and feels pretty natural.
    -Lack of op weapons and overall fairly balanced
    -graphics have improved regardless of what all these people seem to think (water still looks awful)
    -if you can find hardcore matches it is reminiscent of CS in it's tactical gameplay and team communication
    -A lot less op perks and the perks you do get while advancing the game do not take over - Modern warfare 2 anyone? :)

    Cons
    _____
    -Some very annoying bugs, such as the huge lag spikes for the first ~30 seconds of the game
    -No delay on jetpack so you can basically bunny hop 15-20 feet in the air constantly (more of a problem in regular games as hardcore you can easily shoot them down)
    -Lack of guns in general, I'm sorry no matter how many reskins you release of a gun with slight variations, it isn't a different gun. Having 1 more bracket in fire speed with 1 less in accuracy just means its a modded gun, no a new one.
    -Still no dedicated servers, and this is the biggest one for me. No matter what people say, they have been plagued by this problem for years and they always mention they will add them but they don't, just like Ghost.

    My final thoughts are really that this is in improvement in the franchise and if they continue supporting it and adding polish it will be one of the better ones, I would recommend picking this up if you like a more tactical game then the previous installments and are willing to play hardcore.

    P.S. As a side note, since I'm sure people will think this is a fanboy thing since I didn't instantly give it a 0, I have played every cod up to black ops, then stopped for for the next few installments after looking into them. decided to give this one a try and while it wasn't all I was hoping for, it is definitely worth a looking into.

    Edit: came back to fix this up. It was good until hackers went rampant and they did nothing about it. Quickly went from a 7/10 to a 3/10.    … Expand

    The problem is the same for many years now. COD is a painful product not because of its playability that you may like it or not. Yes because each delivery is made with the law of minimum effort.

    Activision laughs at their fans and they continue to support them. That is the real problem and not that it is futuristic of the WWII or the Neolithic era.

    Each year is a rehash more, with small improvements and a different story and now. They raise hundreds of millions and come back the next year to get you the same **** that costs them 4 dollars (well now they spend more because they hire famous actors for the characters) and they spend on marketing more than it costs the game.

    The dynamics can not be broken. Renewing the formula or the engine means 2 or 3 years of development, bad for the results account. And total, to sell the same.

    Post anything, take advantage of this new COD. Let's see if you get bored and start to be a bit critical. With me this saga died after the MW3.    … Expand

However, it was the multiplayer that I felt made the game as disappointing as it was; unbalanced and only a few guns that I felt were a viable option. The mechanic of supply drops also seemed very cheap to me and I hope that the trend of microtransactions in games like this doesn't continue. As usual, the zombies mode was fun for a while but I couldn't help but notice that no trial of exo zombies is available in proper before buying the maps through packs or the season pass - something that would have been helpful, especially with the inclusion of a new movement system that many people did not like.
    Personally, I'm not too fussed about the graphics and I found the maps much brighter than previous instalments, which in my opinion is a good thing - one of the only real positive features of the game as well as the high quality voice acting in campaign.    … Expand

    Call of Duty. Again Call of Duty. Its nothing new and nothing special. Call of Duty Advanced Warfare features a boring singleplayer and a laggy, unbalanced and buggy multiplayer. My Computer crashes sometimes when i try to play the game (and its the games fault, not the fault of my hardware). I cant say that its fun, not even a little.

    Overall this is a quality built game with terrible network and support issues from Activision and Steam.

    It is sad that a good game like this is just hung out to dry because the manufacturer already has their money and does not care at all for supporting their customers.
    More people are playing World at War, MW3, Black Ops2 and often MW2 than are playing this game on a daily basis.
    It is very difficult to find a game anymore and after spending way too much time rebooting and attempting to connect, when you do get in game, the possibility of the map not loading is rather high. It is not unusual for some people to spend 30 minutes each time they attempt to play to only experience multiple issues and when they do get in game, there is a 65% chance the lobby will be very laggy.
    Although I do not have near the issues of my clan mates, I see the struggle daily. After putting in various tickets on my own, I have never received helpful assistance to resolve the on going issues.
    Had these issues been resolved, I would have rated this game around an 8 but I feel more than generous with the 4 as I find myself going to other games way too often simply as a direct result of poor performance on the manufacturers part. Activision is obviously only in business to rob all of us and we are suckers for it.    … Expand

    Pro's -
    The game is beautiful. Graphics are a solid 9+.

    Most of the movement is fluid, and most of the weapons feel balanced.

    The customization of the avatar's outfit and Exo is a nice touch

    Con's -
    P2P, after repeatedly being told that the game would have dedicated servers, that simply is not the case... again. This game has so much potential, but is hindered greatly without dedicated servers. This leads into problems in many areas, and a major issue is the lag compensation. One game I'll have ok hit detection, then the next I'll squeeze off 4-5 bullets directly on target, and not one will register. This leads to whoever I'm shooting at to hear me fire, turn and return fire and kill me with bullet. Spectating your team will also display this behavior in lag comp, and leads to a ton of warranted complaining.

    The spawn system needs to be reworked. You will literally spawn right in front of the enemy, making it super easy to be killed. I've spawned several time in the middle of a group of the opposing team, which always results in me being killed again instantly, and usually the enemy will get a team kill or two in the process.

    The maps are decent size for players without exo suits, but since all players have them, it makes the maps feel really small.

    DLC... there are a few issues here. First is the fact that Microsoft and Activision are in bed with each other, and have a deal worked out where Xbox gets any DLC 1 month before the other platforms, which IMO is a dumb practice that alienates everyone else that paid good money for the game too. Why are we be penalized because we do not own an Xbox? Makes no sense. This doesn't make me want to buy an Xbox, it makes me not want to buy the game. The 2nd part is this DLC nonsense is that is separates the gaming community into the haves and have nots. As seen with MW2, BO, MW3, BO2, Ghosts, and now AW, it splits the community and quickly kills the game. The falloff on Ghosts was so bad that the game was a ghost town after the first DLC was released, but that also had to do with the fact that Ghosts was a horrible game. And now that you can purchase guns, ie laser guns, this game has become a Pay to Win game. The laser guns are ridiculous overpowered and ruin what little balance the game had.

    Conclusion -
    Avoid this game at all costs. It's 6 moths after release, and major flaws/issues still have not been addressed, and this point, probably never will. It's definitely not worth the $59.99 price tag, and even at 50% off, that would still be a stretch. Save your money.    … Expand
