    Despite looking through the other reviews here I really liked this game and think this is where the franchise started to pick back up after the release of Ghosts which I thought was awful.

    Standard Call of Duty game with a a few new mechanics. Solid entry in the series, nothing special, but enjoyable all the same.

    Call of Duty Advance Warfare is a fun game but with a few issues on the Play Station 3. The game's campaign is really well done where power can corrupt anyone, and Kevin Spacey's role as Jonathan Irons(CEO of ATLAS Corporation) just stole the show, however the campaign suffers with awkward loading screens during missions which come random times, frame rate and texture pop ins.

    The multiplayer is the games strongest part with all new style of play with the EXO suit where you can fly around the map and dodge gunfire, the EXO can also a perk slot where you can have heal you, make you move faster or have a shield equipped. The only bad thing about multiplayer and I'm being very strict about this but the visuals on the menu is terrible.

    Then there's the games third function EXO Survival which I don't really like that much because it just feels like a knockoff of MW3 Survival mode and the only originality is you have the EXO suit.

    So besides the games few issues and the EXO Survival, the game is a must buy for long time COD fans and new COD fans.

    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. 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.

    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.

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.

    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.

    The strong point of this game is, surprisingly, the campaign. If you're used to the formula, you won't find anything groundbreaking, but it's still a lot of fun to play. Believe the hype with Kevin Spacey. He was good. Too bad the plot is so predictable, as his character had so much potential. Another very fun -yet already tired- play mode, is the horde co-op survival. Between the campaign and this mode, you'll have good value for your money.

    Where this game fails spectacularly is in its raison d'etre, the online multiplayer. Every problem in Call of Duty before, seems to be enhanced in this game. The **** of players spawning all over the place reduce tactics to shoot first and have a better Internet connection. The maps do nothing but aid this mess, and winning doesn't matter as much as having a good K/D. The killstreaks are no longer fun. The lack of dedicated servers give an unfair advantage to the people with best connection. Skill in this game means nothing. Multiplayer is an unplayable mess.

    Clearly, Call of Duty is on its last gasps, and unfortunately, the new additions to this game have failed to pump a fresh approach into it.

    Better than CoD: Ghosts, but that's not hard. Good campaign, but terrible netcode for multiplayer. Lots of lag and delay, even on the menus.
    Dips in graphical quality in the multiplayer menus and just waiting for weapon images to load is infuriating.

    Exo suits are really good fun though, and add a much needed injection of adrenaline in to the gameplay in general.

    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.

    Unfortunately, if you haven't moved on to the newer generation of consoles you are going to be disappointed with CoD: AW - or at least I am. The first thing you're sure to notice: the graphics are horrendous! Seriously. This game looks like it could've been a release title for the PS3. The textures are muddy, the pop-in is atrocious, and simply put the game is just ugly. I'm not the kind of gamer that plays a game because of graphics, but after watching a PS4/PS3 comparison video I can't help but be disappointed. You can just sense that the game's developers didn't really care about releasing a grade-A title to last-gen gamers.

    As for the multiplayer, it is fun, don't get me wrong, but it's not the evolution I had expected. Sure you can jump higher, sure there are some new high tech weapons, but in the end it's simply classic CoD multiplayer. Some will love this, some will hate it, but I'm in the middle somewhere. It's enjoyable, but I can't help but feel disappointed.

    Overall I am disappointed by CoD: AW for PS3. The gameplay just doesn't feel as "advanced" as I had hoped and the last-gen graphics are simply ugly. This isn't a terrible game but it's also not a great one.

La nueva forma de jugar es brutal, COD necesitaba esto desde hace años. Quien se queje de los saltos que se vaya a otro juego, es un cambio a mejor, haciendo así las partidas mucho mas dinámicas y entretenidas de jugar. Promete diversión para muchos, muuchos meses.

    Y los que dudéis, deciros que en PS3 merece mucho la pena, gráficamente es mas que decente.

    Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is a big improvement for the Call of Duty franchise, and may lead the franchise into a good future, but there are many flaws just like any other game.

    Single-Player: The single player is the typical 6 hour; go here, shoot this and that. This is very disappointing, and you would expect the game to be longer since this game had a 3 year development cycle.

Nothing new to the Single-Player except for the Exo-Suit. To sum it up; boring dull, repetitive. Nothing special.

    Multiplayer: As it may be the same multiplayer as before ie; game-modes, the multiplayer plays completely different with the new Exo-Suit. Double jump, strafe left to right, will bring a whole new level of enjoyment to the game.

    I recommend the game; you won't get anything too special here, but as I stated in the beginning of this review; it is a big improvement for the Call of Duty franchise. If you are going to buy it, just expect the same Call of Duty, but with massive improvements; especially for multiplayer.

    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.
