    Technically, the game is well optimized but the multiplayer does suffer from some occasional network stuttering. It's in a far better state than Ghosts though, that's for sure. Single player is as short as always and pretty meh. Gameplay is CoD but slightly faster with some mobility and exosuit techniques, and with a lot of weapons and customization.

I think it's appropriate to compare it to Titanfall now, since that's the direction they are moving in, and I'd say that Titanfall is definitely more fun. CoD:AW does not have as good and memorable map design as Titanfall, movement is much slower, graphics are worse and of course there are no Titans. Also the "parkour" in CoD is quite a bit clunkier than Titanfall's, you will smash into walls constantly while boosting and overall it doesn't feel as cool and organic as Titanfall's. Yes, it has a ton of weapons, but most of them are bad and nobody ever uses them. In conclusion, CoD:AW is a step in the right direction and an improvement in some areas, but I don't expect it will hold my interest any longer than Titanfall since it's overall weaker, and they're essentially charging 100$ for this. It's definitely not worth that amount of money in my opinion.… Expand

    Thanks to the Steam sale, I was able to give AW a go without hesitation, I admit that I was intrigued when I saw the trailer. Bought it at a lower price to set my expectations and never looked back.

    Honestly, this is coming from a Battlefield 4 player. Advanced Warfare looked absolutely breathtaking with all the fancy DirectX 11 features like Bokeh DOF, Spacial Bloom, Tessellation, NVIDIA exclusive HBAO+ AO, TXAA Anti-Aliasing and Volumetric Rays.
    Supersampling is also an option which I've enjoyed using without much impact on performance.
    Overall, despite the awful plot and tedious linear gameplay on top of its apathetic expositions. Almost forgot to mention the ancient peer to peer multiplayer hosting. AW is a must buy for most seasoned veterans of both franchises.

    The multiplayer portion of the game is really crap, seriously it is just a tiny bit better than cod ghost.
    there are allready hackers , and the gun damage is strangely random, huge lag spikes and the fastest leveling system in the world...

    So i am left with a 50/50 experience , the single player is allright but too short and the multiplayer

    there is no way this took three years to make.

    Hard freezes at various moments mainly either in party lobby or in game lobby.
    2 second game freezes while shooting and normal movement
    mic display placement gets in the way of viewing the battlefield because they put it on some 16bit resolution and just outside of center screen.
    slow button response while in party or game lobby
    1. closing after action report
    2. Change load out
    3. While leaving game
    4. Opening supply caches

    Matchmaking clearly is broken. worst lag in any COD game ever and im not using hyperbole.
    game starts feel like you were thrown into it. no more countdown and start at same time.
    no difference in amount of bullets it takes to die in HC and Core modes
    takes almost 30 seconds for the find game button to display and allow searching
    gun fx sounds are flat and no difference between them.
    There is little to no recoil in the guns.
    lack of guns.
    some op guns.
    perks are stupid. you will run a couple of them for all ten setups.
    almost all exo perks are useless and do not power back up in the event you can survive insta-kills after using up all the energy it takes to use them.
    new items and the gun pictures take forever to display
    customization items with time limits are stupid
    colors are flat and muted, no one can be seen even on the brightest maps.
    maps are decent and small definitely more chaotic with people able to jump up behind you.
    campers are far and few between.
    re-spawn has a limbo mode where you’re not really spawned but in some spectator mode while playing CORE mode.
    QS is still around

    i highly suggest renting first. DO NOT SPEND MONEY ON THIS GAME UPFRONT.

Better to spend 5 bucks on black light for ps4 or free on PC. (plus since black-light is free, no PS plus required.) The cost for COD AW: $60(actual game) $50-$60(PS plus) and more money for DLC.

It's just not worth the price considering how the final product compares to the hype and their are superior alternatives that either cost the same or are cheaper. EX: Battlefield.

    The call of duty series has always been a strange one. Call of duty 4 was brilliant, and was (in my personal opinion) one of the best COD games ever made.

One of the first "Off topic" call of duty games was World At War, which changed the whole way COD was played. Advanced warfare is a modern World at war. It has drastically changed the way COD is played, in good (and bad) ways. Many people have became highly critical of this game due to it's new features. Because of this, AW has developed a sort of "Love/Hate" Relationship with its fans. I think that sledgehammer took a huge risk with this game- which was unexpected, due most cod games being the same thing, but with different things in them. Call of duty is a lot like a sandwich. The concept is the bread, and the series/title is the filling. The bread stays the same, but the filling changes. They have changed the bread to flatbread for this game.
    The campaign lacks replay ability. It's very short too. Engine is very old, and it's turning into titanfall.
    If you're a die hard COD fan and you have the money spare, this is a decent buy. If you've never played COD games before, give this one a miss- it's nothing like its predecessors.    … Expand

This is by the far the single biggest reason to avoid this game on the PC on principle and in practice.
    The single player I found to be typically derivative from previous titles in it's level design and story (so expect nothing new here) however this time however it has included (and to a much more subdued extent) mechanics borrowed from other shooters. These additional mechanics offer very minor, but welcome improvements to the single player gameplay overall, but you could play the respective source material and enjoy these various mechanics to a much fuller extent through significantly better single player experiences, so there implementation here with no real innovation doesn't feel worth while overall.
    Visually it looks superior to Ghosts, but by about as much as each COD game generally improves visuals every year. Certainly the visuals put on show in the trailers are from pre-rendered cut scenes, which look significantly better than the game play, even maxed out on PC, which is fairly misleading.
    It does however run significantly better and comes with plenty of quality settings, which is a welcome change.
    Many reviewers have touted these improvements to really freshen up the series, however this is only because the series suffered from extremely derivative and repetitive content for so many years. On it's own it is the iterative improvement each new installment should be, but offers nothing revolutionary like United Offensive or Modern Warfare did back in the series prime.
    This game sits above many of the series worst entries, but falls significantly shorter of the series highs.
    I wouldn't recommend this on PC if you are interested in the multiplayer, you don't have any dedicated servers and so much like Ghosts the community will be next to nonexistent in only a few months. I wouldn't recommend the single player on it's own especially for the full retail price. If you are interested in what's here, Crysis Warhead is very similar and significantly more enjoyable and well made single player game and it also has the advantage of looking better than Advanced Warfare, despite it's age.
    Overall I wouldn't recommend this installment, the lack of dedicated servers and ho-hum single player do nothing to justify the price or stand out from the last few installments overall.
    Perhaps a return to WW2 that focuses on core mechanics is what the series needs to really deliver once again. Or perhaps it's finished and it's time to move onto other more innovative franchises, only time will tell.

    PC performance is okay. There's been a lot of issues with mouse sensitivity problems and frame stutter, each of which have their solutions but can't be entirely eliminated. Hopefully this will be patched soon, the game is only 2 days old as of this review. Unfortunately with a GTX 780 I'm forced to play on low settings with shadows turned off just to sustain the 91fps cap in multiplayer (something which is also very annoying for people with high Hz monitors like me), also bear in mind I'm running in 1440p.

    Multiplayer itself is... well, it's Titanfall. It is so blatantly obvious they've copied Titanfall's approach, which doesn't necessarily bother me too much as it's still enjoyable, but does show a lack of innovation. Multiplayer is satisfying but nothing new. It's still Call of Duty and feels like any other game in the franchise, just with more verticality due to the Exo suits. One big problem I have though is the pace of games. On console the controllers restrict turning movement and is much slower, making games more controlled and less chaotic. On PC people are running around like mad men with their mice sensitivities allowing for much faster reactions compared to console. I find the games are overwhelmingly fast and you don't have much time to think. It's literally an iteration of spawn > 1 kill > die > spawn > 1 kill > die... etc.    … Expand

    on open field maps with laggy severs.
    - Peer to Peer Connection really ruin the game and created lag issues ( disadvantage
    eg ( Spam a whole mag at someone and still not dead)
    - Need more multiplayer maps as i feel like im playing the same map over and over
    - Are there any more ? Give us our dedicated servers
    Well this is recommended to FPS shooters as promised play cod as you never before cause this is true but after when they give us out dedicated servers otherwise newbies to COD will face a disadvantage over veteran players

    Overall i give it a 7 / 10 for having the worst multiplayer connection severs until they add in dedicated servers i can truly rate it a 8.5 / 10 .    … Expand

    I really liked single player campaign. My nephew said that this game is his favourite game of weekend. It taked some time to adjust my PC. Most problems were caused by antivirus that ruined hard drive perfomance. Then I removed it, formatted volume, set pagefiles and game began to work like charm. Campaign is great. I think it's one of finest campaigns in Call Of Duty history. MultiplayerI really liked single player campaign. My nephew said that this game is his favourite game of weekend.

    What it gives with one hand it takes away with the other and that seems to be the theme that runs through. You are this super solider with an exo-suit, but it only allows you to experience super human abilities in very constricted ways. You can only climb walls at certain points, you can only use shields at certain points, and the only relatively free reign is the powered jump.

You are this super solider with an exo-suit, but it only allows you to experience super human abilities in very constricted ways. You can only climb walls at certain points, you can only use shields at certain points, and the only relatively free reign is the powered jump.

    Missions are short, story is weak, and characters are forgettable. I almost feel sorry for Kevin Spacey being involve in this, and most of time he is the only driving force in the story. But perhaps that's just me... as I have played every game in this series and there is nothing new to offer. Or perhaps that it's time for Activision to either get really creative or drop it.

    Gameplay is interrupted by the inclusion of button tapping moments. While the idea is good the method has been over used. This means that game play feels choppy, as you have to drop everything and match key presses with on screen instructions. Then there are parts of the story it just glosses over and downright ignores. In my books it's the worst crime because it assumes that people are stupid and insults them greatly.

    Gameplay there really isn't anything new here, and what parts that are new are so briefly used that it's instantly forgettable. You get to use stealth suits, climb walls, fall from great heights, grapple hooks ... but sadly all of it makes up less than 5% of single player game. Some great ideas but poorly executed just like the direction of Crysis. The game gives you superhuman abilities then forces you to use a gun, so expect for the most part to be frustrated and disappointed.

    But what I can't understand is the Professional Critics, what game where they playing... I'd like to know? Current score is 77 by them and 4.6 by users, have they lost touch, or has silver crossed their palms?
    The good things are grenades, some really clever features, but again they over complicate it with the keys you have to press to select them. I don't know who designed the key layout, but it has to be some contortionist that was born with six fingers. Everything feels wrong which means sadly you end up shooting everything in your way using little of the "added" features that AW boosts so proudly about.

    Then there are level cut screens which would be a good time to load the mission in. Clever and has been used in games for decades, but for whatever reason it loads half, waits until the movie has finished then loads the second half. Why? Also you have to watch the movie, without being able to skip, this becomes an issue when you have finished a level. Where you have to watch the proceeding level clip before you are able to quit the game, this seem silly for whatever reason they decided to do this for? Then when you start the game, you have to watch the same clip again.

    Can't comment on Multiplayer, which I haven't played, and Activation probably thanks me for.
    I am giving this a score of 5; I think it more than fair perhaps a little generous at times. Though I can't say I really enjoyed it, there wasn't a big moment where I refused to play it. It was just average, maybe a little less, and that's the biggest shame of it all. It could have done so much better.    … Expand

    For me the COD series is moving too far away from it roots,I used to love it's simplicity, and it was in this simplicity came the exciting playability. Now it is more about remembering how to get the grenade you want, or timing the double jump. In COD I want to be thinking about the tactics not the button pushing.

    Also for me it's another game ruined by being console ported.

    It's ok, but please less Halo and more COD next time.    … Expand

    While Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is an improvement from the horror which Ghosts was, the developers of this franchise needs to do better than this to bring Call of Duty back to its glory days.
    On a positive note, the PC port is good, and the multi-player is no half shabby thanks to the new "exo-suits".

    The biggest improvement needs to come from the Singleplayer. I beat it in as little as 5 hours, running past NPCs on the hardest difficulty mode. The campaign is once again a whole "MURICA SAVES THE WORLD" explosion fest, which I'm personally starting to get sick of.

    This can be the start of a turnaround for Call of Duty, but a lot remains to be improved.    … Expand

    Basically what sledgehammer did was take ghosts, improve it significantly, and add a jetpack because why the **** not. This ends up with a mediocre game, that is more enjoyable than ghosts by a longshot. Nothing amazing, but its alright.

    This game is a lot of fun. There’s some Crysis in it, some Titanfall, some elements borrowed from Unreal Tournament and Battlefield. Underneath it’s still Call of Duty though, finally modernized in terms of visuals. [13/2014, p.50]

    It's the best Call of Duty campaign in years, and the multiplayer continues to scratch a certain itch. [Jan 2015, p.64]

    A new engine and new ideas breath new life into a series that was in serious danger of turning stale.
