    This finally represents the rebalancing of the Call of Duty franchise. The playing field is now much more level. With all the tools and gadgets a hell of a lot more variety and randomness as well as unpredictability has been introduced into the game making it competitive for all.

    That's what veterans who've dominated the game don't like. They don't like someone else coming along and    This finally represents the rebalancing of the Call of Duty franchise. The playing field is now much more level. With all the tools and gadgets a hell of a lot more variety and randomness as well as unpredictability has been introduced into the game making it competitive for all.

    That's what veterans who've dominated the game don't like. They don't like someone else coming along and whipping their butt because they are more creative. The rules should always make a competitive game not a club of elites who firever dominate. Take snipers. They've dominated for so long. What do they do that's skillful? They just camp and wait with a scope. Where's the skill in that? And if he misses he should be penalised and the advantage go to the opponent. Now the opponent can hunt him down before he gets away so that's more than fair.

    Seeing through walls. This is advanced warfare. We have heat seeking missiles as well as technology which can detect a heat signature so why not use it? This game was very well thought out. Yes it's linear but so are all COD games. It's not Far Cry.

    Another thing is what rig you play it on. This game has awesome graphics, sound and effects but what you get depends on how good your PC is. On my PC and GPU and with surround headphones I get an experience and immersion that makes me feel I'm right there myself. But others with weaker hardware may get a very ordinary experience.

    I'm just loving this and so far it's the best COD I've played. This is definitely a change for the better. New tools, new problems and a whole new game. For the campers and snipers and veterans of previous versions if you're good enough you'll make your mark here to but now you're made to earn it knowing one missed snipe will have a mob of eco suited enemies on your doorstep. You're no longer a protected species and can be hunted and got to as fast as you can flee so the onus on you now is not to miss. Now your skill is really being tested. Anyone can camp and snipe endlessly where nobody can get to them but now you can be gotten to in a flash and thus we hear your moaning and groaning. If you're really good now you're being asked to prove it.    … Expand

At what point does your opinion balance out? or are you just trolling?... At least Sledgehammer is smart and knows a LOT of people are going to buy this game and be able to run it on modest hardware. There are those of us, a lot more than you, that just want to play a game.

While I don't think this game deserves a 10, I think the the overly negative reviews should also "call" for overly positive reviews. The game itself is fun, I got what I paid for - the multiplayer delivers on the already well known COD formula. The campaign is dumb fun - which is how a COD game is meant to be! Not a plot that makes you think too hard but rather an excuse to use some of the new stuff on display. It's a fun game and it's a Call of Duty game - if either of those don't appeal to you don't buy it. It's that simple.… Expand

It is streets ahead of Ghosts in every aspect and really puts Infinity Ward to absolute shame. Even Treyarch need to raise their game for next year. Sledgehammer have essentially taken the best aspects of past games and fused them into their very own interpretation along with delivering their own brand of unique ideas.

    The gameplay is fast, the guns are incredible fun, the matches flow superbly and every second is really enjoyable. The maps are simply stunning to look at and their designs & layouts make way for some frantic action.

    The optimisation for PC which has been heavily questioned after Ghosts and Sledgehammer's silence in the media; is actually riddled with depth and all the key elements to compliment your rig. I really did not expect much but they really have hit the nail on the head from a technical standpoint.

    I've not enjoyed COD since the Black Ops days but this is a game that really rejuvenates my desire for the franchise. After the pitiful Ghosts last year; this game simply had to deliver and it truly has. SHG took a risk for their first outing and it really paid off in what could be a genre-defining title.    … Expand

Also, for anyone trying to do the Steam Box / HTPC thing, this game has full controller support with Aim assist and everything. Take this review with a grain of salt if you want. I am one of the few people who actually really liked Ghosts as a game, but I refused to write a positive review for it because I felt like PC gamers really got the shaft on that release.

Would like to re-iterate what another user has said, the game doesnt run on the same old engine and it does have dedicated servers, just no lobby where you can pick from populated games of your choice like bf4, but lets be honest, bf4 is a abortion of a game, i have had more fun in 10 hours of advanced warfare multiplayer than i had in 200 hours of bf4 multiplayer.

    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]
