    When you were six, did you enjoy spinning around and jumping up and down on the furniture?

    Of course you did because at that age it was the pinnacle of human achievement. It's also the sole purpose of AW.

    Of course you did because at that age it was the pinnacle of human achievement. It's also the sole purpose of AW. There are so many things that are wrong with this game it's hard to know exactly where to start.

    So let's start with the load screen. Now because the developers think that all we want to do is play dress up with our dollies rather than shoot the **** out of random strangers, the game is overburdened with character loadouts, clothing and accoutrements that the system simply cannot cope with the simple process of loading up your avatar in what would reasonably be considered an acceptable time.

    And that then leads to the next problem - the graphics. Quite simply COD has not looked this bad since MW2 which at least has the excuse of being an old (comparatively ancient) game. There is not texture or depth, the maps quite frankly all look the same, and above all it's just dull.

    dull, dull, dull.

    And then there's the gameplay. Remember how on every other COD game you knew that there were certain maps for snipers, some for campers, some for those of us that like to run around like idiots? Well welcome to AW where every map has been designed for one simple purpose... spinning around and jumping up and down - because apparently we're all six years old.

    It's impossible to have any kind of strategy or tactic because of the exo suits. Instead everyone is just running around like headless chickens.

    Did I mention the snipers? There the ******* that are bouncing around the map in their exosuits quickscoping everyone else before bouncing back off again, maybe with some spinning involved. I'm not sure. I've always hated quickscopers and the lowest levels of hell are reserved for these "people" so why, oh why, did Activision sanction another COD that panders to them?

    Because quickscoping noobs have an average mental age of six and this is Activision's target demographic, that's why.

    Oh and the story mode? Completed in 4 hours and I'm not even sure I was completely awake for most of that time either. Dull, predictable, thoroughly unchallenging and quite obvious that Kevin Spacey was there just for some beer money.

    Back to the load screen for a moment and specifically the font used. I last saw it on an Amiga 500 back in the early 90's... just awful.

    Having navigated the load screen you're probably wanting to have a match, right? Well tough. For some reason the quickest I have ever got in to a match is fifteen seconds after it started and the slowest? Over a minute. And don't think it's my internet - that clocks in at a healthy 75 Mpbs.

    Naturally that then leads me on to lags, glitches and exploits. There are at least two maps where you can hide in the scenery so yay - those maps are unplayable. The game regularly stutters and the reason I am here right now is because the game has just crashed my system.

    I almost forgot - because of the whole jumpy round rubbish - frags and semtex are absolutely useless.

    Annoyingly I'm not even doing that badly on AW and I've really tried to like it since the abomination that was Ghosts but I can't. Sorry but I've tried to like this mongrel of a game but the only decent thing you can do with it is take it out back and shoot it, it's time that COD was put out of its misery.

    I've had every iteration of COD since MW2. I was top 500 in BLOPS2 and top 3000 in MW3. Despite the rant I am no COD hater but I've paid £45 for a game and all I got was a turd.

    It's just not good enough.    … Expand

    This game was pretty much trash. I played it for the first weekend and and decided to go back to Payday 2. this what an unfortunate waste of potential. One thing that most people can agree on that being able to constantly double jump ruins the game. Nobody wants to have to constantly watch out for rooftop flyers. if i hadn't bought the season pass i would have taken this heap of crap back.

    I love the Call of Duty franchise, even despite the poor showing of Ghosts, which I'd likely rank a 7. Advanced Warefare, however, is a really poor game. The maps are uninteresting and flawed. The new guns and killstreaks are bizarre, and just not enjoyable to use. The jetpack is the worst addition of all.

Every multiplayer game I play I join in 30 seconds late due to the nonexistant freezetime. Snipers useless. Exo abilities pretty pathetic and useless, I'd love to see what the pro gamers have to say about it. EMBARRASSING killstreaks! no specialist (which sucks). no Kem or nuke (makes multiplayer pointless as there is no challenge). Easy fixes to the game which nobody makes... quit adding stupid map features like in ghosts and quit making so many unnecessary game modes. COD4 is the best cos its SIMPLE... dont make it complicated and add loads of silly features just to sell. Yes the game looks cool and awesome but doesnt deliver like any other COD. If you add features add something good like League play on BO2, amazing feature and loved every bit of it, ghosts ruined it and AW **** it up.
    Campaign is just like every other cod, decent.
    AW has very little to offer besides multiplayer and campaign mode. ghosts had extinction. BO had zombies and MW had those missions, AW has nothing comparable.
    And no matter what you'll always get campers so scrap those "no campers comments"
    Kevin Spacey is merchandise and advertisement, just like Eminem (huge fan) on ghosts... COD need to get there **** right next time and do lots of updates on this one.    … Expand

    A terrible port (or at least it seems like it). Sad, because it is probably worthwhile for the next gen consoles or PC. My main problems had to do with online multiplayer: create-a-class screen is broken and loading anything in general is glitchy and takes a long time. Also, the guns sound and feel like airsoft.

    To give context to my review, I'm a fan of the franchise and have played the series more than any other FPS. That being said I do enjoy other games and have had the opportunity to play a variety of FPS.

    CoD AW is not your typical Call of Duty, in my opinion it is more along the lines of Halo. While the game offers a variety of new directions for the franchise, overall execution is piss poor.
    - Movement is buggy and lacks the smoothness you'd expect in an FPS.
    -The game is plagued by loading, loading, loading and un-rendered textures
    -Multi-player matchmaking is awful e.g. lag, merging, and more un-rendered textures
    -Exo survival matchmaking has no ranking system making it difficult to find players that know what they"re doing (also merging with games in progress happens frequently)
    -Choppy gameplay online and offline
    -The exo suit feature which may be the saving grace of the game offers a new dimension to playing
    however hurts the casual aspect of the game by making players unpredictable

    Overall it seems that Sledgehammer games tried to make CoD spectacular by adding as much filler as they could, making a simple FPS overly complex. Potential buyers of the game should be warned, the PS3 version is garbage based alone on the optimization on the system, the game is frustratingly slow and choppy. Sledgehammer should of cut parts of the game or not release a ps3 version if they knew it would run so poorly.
    If you are a die hard fan of CoD, go ahead and buy it. If you enjoy FPS games, get the game for a better system or give it a pass.    … Expand

    The multiplayer is horrible. All guns are reskins from ghosts. Maps are generic looking. The boost jumping ruins the flow of play. Terrible spawns, lag and time to kill. Just bad bad bad.

That flaw being, only having two guns that are worth using. Most of the guns seem so unmatched compared to the BAL or the ACR, that there is really no point using them.
    The new Exo abilities are rarely used if your not playing competitive as the amount of boost jumping that happens in pubs makes the game lack any kind of strategy.

    There also seems to be a constant lag the the game, personally ive never played a call of duty as connection based this this one. The lag is mostly noticed in the menu screens and while opening loot crates which becomes annoying super quick.

    While i do like the looting system, nothing you get differentiates your player from the others so loots become left unoponed.

    While i do enjoy a lot of the maps, i just find this game gets boring and more frustrating really quick.    … Expand

    Same old same old, there's nothing good or anything impressive for this COD game. It's repetitive, and takes the same type of ideas from others and makes it the same kind of game again.

    COD in general is okay, and its main aspect is that it is casual. AW ruins both aspects, the game, although many deny it, is laggy and wasn't designed for the ps3. The fast movements aren't suited to the COD series and don't really work. The companies making COD (all of them) are scamming people for money, exo survival is TERRIBLE, it is simple and plain, so boom wow this new exo-zombiesCOD in general is okay, and its main aspect is that it is casual.

Next, the matchmaking is really bad, and every time I gun game I get disconnected, and there is always fan boys raging because someone is better than them. Lastly, if you want a casual game which is laggy and distorted and isn't really a casual game, which rips you off and wastes your time then go ahead. And in my book it has taken the title of the worst COD game out there.… Expand

    This game has only 2 good things.

    1) "Press F to pay respect" meme.
    2) Multiplayer (copy of Titanfall, and typical CoD MP)

    Scenario, is very bad. They declared main villain of the game on trailers. And then, they try to make it surprise.

    Who the **** think its a good game? And who let Activision to publish this stupid game?
