    This is not fun, look at any youtube video of this game before you buy they all look the same. Uninspired maps, outdated engine, monotonous gameplay, laughably bad death rendering, cheap sound effects. Why are you doing this every year? You certainly are not doing it for the initiated gamer!

    The shallow attempt to advance this game have gone worthless. I bought it reading the reviews hoping it would be more like Titanfall. I was wrong.

The only thing that they changed has been the fact you can jump real high and climb up on stuff, which sounds cool at first, until you realize you move really slow and jumping makes you a bigger/slower target (just like sprinting). So what will happen is, you will run into a room, and get shot in the back by a guy standing in the corner, Just like every other Call of Duty Game ever. The random respawns are horribly annoying because people spawn directly behind you and shoot you in the back. (classic call of duty) The story mode is a joke. I played through the entire Call of Duty Ghost's campaign and thought it was okay it was short but i liked it for the most part. But this is just horrible, The character progression the story, everything seems like a crappy fiction story someone wrote at 12 years old. The graphics are extremely overrated, Lots of terrible terrible environments made shiny by some filters, I wish I could attach some pictures highlighting this, but I cannot. Maybe I am not the best person to be reviewing this because I haven't enjoyed a COD game since MW2 but this game has not brought back anything to the franchise or added any truly new exciting features. Please just let Call of Duty die. Thanks Expand

    All the guns the same and the game modes the same as previous. Lots of grasshoppers everywhere. Total regurgitated from previous COD's. Totally boring but then I may be suffering from COD burnout. My advice save your money.

    Short campaign. We beat it in 4 hours. Mediocre multiplayer. Seems like the creator of these games has stopped caring or something. Please put more effort into the next game. This isn't worth $60. Give to charity instead.

    Now, here's a disclaimer: I won't hate on the game just because its COD. I want to give out brutal honesty about the game itself. Lets get started

    COD: AW feels impressive, but it still lacks.

    First things first, whenever you deny it no, the game looks beautiful. Faces look godly impressive, and its environment feels beautiful. Its a next-gen looking game.

    And Multiplayer is still fun as well. Adding in its still balanced and yet fun gameplay mixed with a Titanfall free-flowing mechanics. Its a more faster COD. And it feels fresh.

    And believe it or not, I'm quite happy that they have this Advanced Warfare feel to it. Sure, its not WWII that its was, and I still wish it went back to those ages, but overall, its cool...

    BUT

    The campaign mode. Its GOD AWFULL

    Ok, sure, its better then Ghost, I will give you that, but it still feels barebones and rushed. Like all the other ones. First, we are randomly thrown into South Korea to go kill some North Koreans without a "Why?" and then crash into some building and mow down our way through some Koreans. What happens then? Some more BS story.

    So overall, its not bad, nor good. This COD is an OK. I only recommend it for its highly addicting multiplayer.

Well, it has been used YET AGAIN in Advanced Warfare, except this time your wearing a cloaking device instead. It starts of in predictable COD manner, on a plane that is about to explode. And there is the bit where you have to hide and wait for yet another convoy to go by. It just recycles missions from past COD's again. I'm amazed that they even attempted to get away with this, again! It really is short of imagination. The only new things really are a "double jump" and a "dodge move". Advanced Warfare is touted as an all new game that will reignite the franchise. But i don't see how giving people more of the same is doing that. The Future setting has been done to death now too. And Advanced Warfare is basically Black Ops 2.5. It needs to go back to more realistic, current or past warfare. The graphics aren't anything special either. Because the game runs at 60FPS means the graphics have to take a hit. As a result, interiors etc feel very plain, and the maps in multiplayer are dead when it comes to detail and content. But that's the price you have to pay when you want a game to run at 60FPS. Multiplayer is also more of the same but with different guns and a few extra moves. But overall you won't really notice the difference and could easily mistake this for a past COD game that you've already played a million times over. Expand

Demolition game mode will never be played again by me unless I re-purchase a PS3 or an Xbox 360 for me and my friends. Demolition was superb! Where is it? Does Activision not want its fans to have fun anymore? Besides the new graphics and the TitanFall-esque gameplay, this is just boring. 1 good point about the Activision games, they are the ONLY ones who allow people to host private matches, something that is void on every next gen game, PS4 anyways. Activision and Bungie are dead to me and I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER ATTEMPT OF A GAME FROM THEM AGAIN! UNLESS THEY HIRE TALENT FOR FUTURE RELEASES. Expand

Bottom line is that the game is entertaining and I will probably play it for a while, but even though I want to enjoy the game I can't, it's like trying to experience the same fun you had in modern warfare.

    Advanced Warfare may just well be the best Call of Duty game, if only because it tries to be Titanfall. Which was a damn good game, for all of its lack of content. It's just another call of duty run-and-gun antigravity mess, but now you can jump upwards like you've installed commando and attacked the sun, and you can dash to the side. Glad they're taking ideas from both Titanfall, and a flash game from 2001.

    So, originality? Not exactly this game's finest. But, to be fair, it works. It's an acceptable game, and it met my low expectations.
    TL;DR Literally painful visuals (It isn't **** cinematic, IGN, it looks like the characters have pedalbin trashcans on their heads when they talk. Their mouths flap open like god damn Goat Simulator.), an unoriginal concept that's executed in a boring way, gameplay that is now more **** and less predictable than CoD: Goats, and an acceptably made shooter overall.
    Still, this does more than most games at disproving the theory that games can be considered art. I don't think that anyone made ye olde mad stacks by ripping off the Mona Lisa once every **** year.

    The one point that prevents it from being a 10 is the singleplayer. Dont get me wrong, its quite good, but and it tries to be different (hell yeah, stealth, but only for one mission...) but it feels a bit empty. This campaign is altough much better than all the previous one from Ghosts.

    Don't think I'm a COD fanboy because I didn't buy Ghosts and I also have criticism on other COD games, but this one is really, really good in my opinion.

    Advanced Warfare brings CoD a really nice, fresh, innovative part. I would recommend this to everybody who likes to play CoD. It doesn't matter if you were ''COD-tired''. You should definitely pick this one up.

When you die very very quickly and can get shot from 18 different angles you and your enemy will just take turns killing each other in your blind spots. It's just boring as f*ck and the reason I stopped playing.

    To be blunt this is not Call of Duty. I dont understand why Activision feels like it needs to keep pushing Call of Duty into the future. Exo suits, lazer guns, and cloaking is not what Call of Duty should be. The only reason I feel AW deserves a 3 is because the map design is very well done and Activision finally added a loot system.

    I considered mw3 the worst call of duty of all time and strongly believed no game in this franchise could possibly take its crown, until now. Advanced warfare makes mw3 look like call of duty 4 in comparison, it is a absolute, unconditional disaster with little to no redeeming value.

    Starting with the single player, a 4 hour linear shooter with very little story, just you a gun and mowing down endless "bad guys". The voice acting is excellent, but countless quick time events and no character building lead to an irritating, bland and very forgettable single-player experience. If you buy cod for its single-player(not like anyone does) spending £40 for Kevin Spacey(who is House of Cards, but more militarised) is a waste, spend it on lots of prescription drugs to give to your friends who play the multiplayer.

    People may not care about Kevin's wacky antics in the single-player and buy this game solely for it multiplayer experience. Well advanced warfare's multiplayer is so bad it does a disservice to it's licence; the spawns are broken with you constantly being shot almost immediately after you spawn in. There is no gun balance, its Bal-27 or ASM-1 otherwise you will just lose every gunfight to the player using those guns(which is everyone). The maps are terrible too small very little verticality, so no real use to the exosuits. Instead of building a game around the exosuits they built a standard call of duty game and threw them in thinking it would work. There is a good reason Titanfall's maps are big and its not just because they have huge robots fighting in them. But all of these issues become somewhat minor when the hit detection in the game is broken, very broken. Its next gen consoles and still Activision will not fork out the money for dedicated servers, peer to peer is **** will they get the memo? Unlikely. The hit reg does not work you will die with no visual recognition of it, you just fall over; you will be constantly killed through sight lines that are blocked with obstacles or shoot first only for the game to disregard your bullets in favour of your opponents. The whole thing feels like pure luck instead of skill.

    The question must be asked is, is it worth your money? With all of the above you can guess absolutely not, maybe if it is was £20, but at its current price definitely not.

    I've never experienced a game, where the developers main focus is to allow players to use "cheats" that would get you banned in other games. Those being:

    I can see through walls with my gun sight (wall hack). I can shoot through walls (another wall hack). Another gun site lights up all players in front of you in bright red (Skinning Hack). Another gun will track onto lit up targets (Aimbot). Now if that isn't enough to make you an uber player... let's bring in the toys..... shall we? We now have "Homing Grenades" yes, the hand grenades can be tossed in the general direction of the enemy and they will home in onto them, no defense. You have hand grenades that light up every player camping in a building. So I pull out my no skill, shoot through a wall gun, and casually kill everyone. - Homing drones. Yes, boys and girls, you can take this paper airplane looking thing... toss it into the air without a care in the world, and it will fly over the battlefield and when it sees someone, homes in on them. Now, we have drones, that allow everyone to see everyone on the battlefield. A player tosses one of these no brainers into the air, and other players on the team, can join in on the fun, and rain hell down on everybody. And since it sees everyone on the field. You can kill everyone pretty easy. Lightning strikes obliterate anyone in it's path. Cover or no cover. If it flys over, you're dead.

    Oh the nifty new dodge feature/gimmick. It allows you to glitch your movement. It's not fluid, and it looks stupid, because the animation is stuck while you do it. And it lights you up on the minimap instantly when you bolt a few feet in a direction. Then you're dead because since the maps are so small, everyone can shoot everyone as long as you can see them. Since everyone can pretty much see everyone, what's the point? You may as well avoid all that, remove the buildings. Put everyone on a flat surface and give them all uzi's.

    Sound is horrid. Simply horrid. My surround sound headphones that are normally filled battle sounds and positional sound mapping, is confusing, because sounds just go in and out at random. Very quiet battles. Nobody yelling, nobody saying anything.

    Oh a shotgun can be silenced. Shoots like a full automatic rifle, and sounds like a small handgun. The positional 3D should be disabled, because where the footsteps seem to be coming from one direction, they are actually someplace else, because the sound processing is so weak, it's confusing. Turn off your surround sound gear because it makes things worse.

    Graphics.... ON a high end graphics card, it is pretty bad. No shading, I don't see any benefit for having shadows on, because you really can't see them, but they do appear to have a negative impact on performance,.... shut them off, because they aren't needed and will make things worse.

    Maps are tiny. Tiny tiny. If you play Battlefield, Imagine taking a server of 24 people. Cram them all between A and B objectives on Metro. You get the idea. That's what ALL the maps are like. A smaller, crammed full small Rush Metro map. That's their "Conquest" size map. I get claustrophobic just loading into the map. If you want a quality, fast shooter, that requires some skill... Go play Titanfall. It's much more of everything COD:AW wants to be and more.

    I wasn't a COD hateboy before buying this, but I am now. This is a joke. If you like it...good for you, but you must be seriously, easily amused or on a console. This is not PC gaming material. It's nearly an insult.

Now onto the main part of the review, which yes I am writing this a bit out of anger due to my last play session, the online multiplayer is fun. as long as you have friends to play with and talk to; to keep yourself from concentrating too much. (if you're a player like I am, who games better when not putting all my brain power into getting revenge over other players who have P****d me off) I found myself struggling to play online well enough to not want to rage quit the matches and stay online due to not having many friends who I talk to and play with online on this new iteration. when playing online I found myself playing against people who have put hours into each map to find the best spots to camp or to head glitch and make sure they're nigh invisible. The online aspect of the game is quiet well rounded and I like the new 'Supply Drops' which give you new equipment such as guns with stat boosts which come with a downgrade to other stats to equal it out. I also enjoy customising my character to make them my own by using the equipment gained from 'Supply Drops' the graphics on the game are phenomenal this is mostly noticed when it comes to the cut scenes within the story as i felt like the characters looked as close to real as i have ever seen in a game. I got a bit side tracked, back to Multiplayer, the addition of the double boosts and dashes as such are a good addition to the game to make it that much more fast paced which is what i like about Call of Duty games, their pace the gameplay in this addition reminds me of MW2 which is great as that is one of my favourites in the series. In also like the map design there are several different styles of maps which is great as there are maps which want you to keep moving and jumping around but doing so does put you at a bit of a disadvantage as it makes you vulnerable, but there are other maps which rely on close combat and quick wits and reactions. Over all the game is great i enjoy the multiplayer (when i have people to be on with) and the campaign was great even though its a tad bit predictable. all in all one of my favourites in the franchise.

    Bravo, Sledgehammer. Bravo. I was pretty skeptical going into this, as Sledgehammer was its main developer, people who were heavily involved in that turd of a game MW3. However, once I got to playing this, I found myself thoroughly enjoying it.

    Campaign - Although the campaign is still shorter than I would have liked, it was certainly better than Ghosts. But we don't talk about Ghosts.

    Campaign - Although the campaign is still shorter than I would have liked, it was certainly better than Ghosts. But we don't talk about Ghosts. The characters, although it would be a bit of a stretch to say I legitimately cared about them by the end of the game, they were certainly good. Troy Baker kills it as Mitchell (but that isn't surprising), and Gideon (no clue who his voice actor is) is this game's Harper. And of course, Kevin Spacey plays the villain. I do not need to say any more. The premise, while good, is unoriginal. But it is executed rather well, so it didn't bother me too much.

    Multiplayer - Take everything fun about CoD's multiplayer, and add in a metric f*ckton of jumping. It makes for a rather hectic, yet quite fun experience. Easily the best part of the game, but given that this is CoD, you probably already knew that. Also, instant fix for any possible screaming 8-year-olds you may find: There's this awesome new thing called a mute button! It's not that hard to use, either! How nice!

    Conclusion - Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is a strong entry in the Call of Duty series. While it isn't necessarily groundbreaking, it does add in several new things to keep the formula from becoming stale. I can see myself playing this for quite some time, and won't be embarrassed to have it in my games library (although I can't say that for certain OTHER, more recent games in the series). The campaign is short but fun, and is a nice distraction from the vastly improved multiplayer. There is an Exo-Survival mode pretty much identical to MW3's survival mode, but it is fairly underwhelming compared to the rest of the game. Oh, and did I mention the graphics? They're pretty nice.

    Verdict - 8.3/10

    A great step forward for the franchise ! And it needed this after a fairly disappointing Ghosts the year before.
    First things first the franchise finally looks like a true next-gen game, great character rendering, nice light effects, lots of details, etc. Although the sound could be better, the game is pretty solid on the technical side except the same old issue with no dedicated servers for the online, the host system automatically makes it dependent on the connection of the other players and can be frustrating sometimes.

    About the campaign, it was pretty good even if the story is quite predictable, there is plenty of nice and fun moments. It's also a little larger than the previous ones (count 6-8 hours to finish it) still insufficient in my books but better than 4 hours, especially that I didn't encountered many difficulties (and I played in Veteran) so the 6 hours are really the minimum.

    Now the main thing about this new episode is the gameplay that is way less static than before, offering some vertical gameplay and speed boost to the game really helped creating an even more nervous FPS (and took care of most campers online) it really makes a difference while still being a Call of Duty (very easy to control).

    In conclusion the game isn't the best in any domain, but it is solid in every one of them and makes Advanced Warfare a good choice for every FPS player.

This installation into the Call of Duty series really just goes to show how scared Activision and all the Dev companies behind CoD are to really get to work and give us a brand new game. If it isn't clear to you by now that this franchise is only out to take your money and give you the same game every year, then you are either very blind, or you love mediocrity more than anything. If you are a CoD fan boy, you will most likely be happy with this years edition. Because the ability to talk trash and make rude remarks towards other people online is still a very "hip" thing to do. As a matter of fact, it's almost become part of the game itself. The fact that this game is considered a "competitive" game absolutely boggles my mind as well. On a more positive note, if you've got some friends from school, or some buddies at work who are all going to play it, the game is still fun to screw around online with friends, and the leveling/prestige & rewards system always makes you feel like you're accomplishing something. But with games like Destiny, Borderlands, Dragon Age Inquisition (with it's recently announced co-op feature) and many others, this yearly re-hash of the same game will not be enough to keep this game afloat. The gaming community is desperate for a new "great" game. And when these AAA titles keep disappointing us game after game, it makes you wonder what these millions and even billions of dollars are going towards. Expand

Let's start off with some of the things SledgeHammer Games did right with Call of Duty Advanced Warfare, the graphics are brilliant in my opinion, definitely the best looking Call of Duty out there, the sounds are also pretty good, from the sounds of footsteps around you to the gun sounds, it's all good and surprisingly the campaign was enjoyable for what it is, a 6-8 hour long interactive action film, and I don't mean that in a bad way, the voice acting was pretty good mostly from the main protagonist and the main antagonist voiced by Troy Baker and Kevin Spacey, now on to Exo Surival, now for me this mode was a bit of a hit or miss, it can be fun if you're playing it with friends but playing it alone get's boring extremely quick which is why I actually would have preferred to have seen some Spec Ops missions like in Modern Warfare 2 and Modern Warfare 3 and now for the cherry on the top, the online portion of Call of Duty Advanced Warfare, let's start off with the awesome Exo Suits which are really cool and fun to mess around with, but it does get annoying when players just keep Exo boosting their way up onto nearly every rooftop in most maps and park themselves their and pretty much never move, another gripe I have with the Exo Suits is that i'ts almost as if SledgeHammer Games praises campers, if you don't have a certain perk on and you use your Exo Suit so if you Exo Dodge or Exo Boost you will appear on the radar as a water drop type blimp for about a second, but if someone sits in a corner for how ever long they feel well then nothing happens, it's a bit confusing for me personally but maybe someone else can see the meaning behind that, the map designs are pretty good with some odd bad camp fest of maps, just 3 bad ones in my opinion and the rest are pretty enjoyable, the weapons are fairly good, with some overpowered weapons but there really are only 2 overpowered weapons the rest seem pretty balanced, killstreaks are bit of a hit and miss with some being down right useless and some seeming kinda overpowered, perks are alright but nothing game changing and the Exo Abilities there are some fun ones like Exo Stim, Exo Shield and Exo Overclock with the rest being "OK", so my ratings for Call of Duty Advanced Warfare split up into the three modes would be :

    Campaign- 9/10

    Exo Survival-6/10

    Online-7/10

    My final score for Call of Duty Advanced Warfare is a 8/10

I was hoping that this Call of Duty will be the one to allow me to have fun with the series again and really invest my time into it with little frustrations, rage and **** Well guess what; this game seriously blows! (In other words, it sucks!) Why does it suck? I'll go over that in a little while. I'm going to break down the game into two sections: The single player campaign, and the multiplayer.

    Campaign:
    This Call of Duty's campaign was pretty decent. Sure, it's another one of them linear Michael Bay campaigns but this time, it has Keven Spacy. The graphics during the campaign (On next gen consoles anyway) are really well done. There's more color than Ghosts and it looks really nice and most environments have "life" in them, which is a breath of fresh air. The story was pretty interesting, but still nowhere near as good as the story from the Modern Warfare games. It was still a fun ride none the less and I wouldn't mind playing through it again sometime in the future. The music during the campaign is forgettable and there aren't really any songs that stick out to me, which is sad. Granted, no Call of Duty is known for their soundtracks. Speaking of sound, the guns sound very week and most of them sound like popping popcorn or marshmallows. I've heard better gun sounds from Super Smash Brothers on the N64 than I've heard from this game. Overall, campaign is good, but not great. 6/10 for campaign.

    Multiplayer:
    Multiplayer, for me, is the meat and potatoes of any Call of Duty game as of Modern Warfare. Multiplayer is what drives me to come back to the game after beating the campaign to have some fun and kill some time. Sledgehammer promised a lot of things going into this game's multiplayer including the ever elusive, dedicated servers. Unfortunately, this is where the game falls flat on its face! There are no dedicated servers as far as I'm aware and the lag in this game's multiplayer makes the game nearly unplayable! What's worse is that there is Skill Based Matchmaking in the game's multiplayer! On paper, SBMM isn't a bad idea, but the way the developers over at Sledgehammer implemented it into this game's multiplayer was very badly executed! The main problem is that SBMM takes priority over connection when trying to find a multiplayer match! Nine times out of ten, I will be paired up against Mexicans, French people, and some from Spain and Japan to boot! I live in the United States and I should be matched up against people from the US! Now that we have a bad netcode, SBMM, and lack of players for this installment, people have resorted to manipulating the system to get into better lobbies by Reverse Boosting to lower their stats. I'm ok with this because it doesn't affect me. Hell, I've done it myself and I too, have experienced better connection games. The problem with this is that it's frowned upon the community and it'll get you banned. The other problem with SBMM is that people who want to play the game casually can't because everyone is using the most "Try hard" classes possible and they are forced to do the same! That's another thing I find wrong here is the weapon balance. The weapon balance is some of the worse I've ever seen. During the beginning month of Advanced Warfare, everybody and their grandmother was using the BAL-27 assault rifle. Assault rifles dominated this game's multiplayer because all other weapon classes were pea shooters. Sledgehammer did eventually rebalanced some of the weapons, but now everyone uses either the BAL-27 assault rifle or the ASM1sub machine gun. I hear that Sledgehammer will rebalance a lot more weapons within an upcoming patch, but I'm not holding my breath. One more thing I hate is that most score streaks are useless! They hardly get any kills and aren't satisfying to use!

    Now that I've gotten the bad things out of my system, it's time to talk about some good things, but they are far and in between. First thing I like, customizable score streaks. I like making my UAV be able to carry on through death and make it detect enemies through walls. It's a nice idea and it was implemented well for the most part. Second, the Supply Drops. Good idea. I like earning weapon variants that can sometimes redeem a bad weapon. If the variant sucks, I can redeem it for XP which is nice. Another thing I like is the virtual firing range. It allows you to try out guns before actually using them in multiplayer matches.

    Multiplayer score wise: 2/10

    Overall, this game is the second worst Call of Duty since Call of Duty Ghosts! The campaign is good but it isn't enough to redeem its bad multiplayer! The game had a lot of promises but utterly fall short for what could've been the best Call of Duty ever made.

    That'll do it for this review. If you read through the entire review, thank you for taking the time to read it! Bye for now

    I had high hopes for AW and Sledgehammer,I was extremely let down. The Exo suits absolutely ruin this Call of Duty. Now let me explain.

This is COD, not Halo, not Titanfall. I almost traded this game in within 2 weeks of buying it but I wanted to give it an honest chance. Now here we are at the end of Feb and although I've become fully used to it I still find this to be an amazing letdown.

    The good - Exo movement innovation, vast game types to accommodate what the multiplayer gamers want

    The bad - Exo suits as a standard, killstreaks (the worst of any COD), game sound effects (gun shots, reloads, grenades), spawns (4 months in and still awful), game lobby (can't even see other people's stats)

    In summary, AW is like a game that comes out after COD. It might be a decent game for your rotation but after 2 months you go back to playing COD exclusively. I'll be going back to Ghosts and BO2 until Treyarch hopefully saves the COD Series this November.

The game would be better if it wasn't about the future and ZOMBIES WITH EXO SUITS??? How would they know how to operate an exo suit unless they were MUTANTS? I guess you could say S.S.D.D.

    There is some fun to be had on the multiplayer which is more than can be said about the Single player that is as boring and repetitive as every other entry into the Franchise.

I certainly won't be wasting my money on any of the future installments of this series.
    A group of fans could have created better game ideas.

    I know many people might be saying, "Oh these people just want to be haters. Bunch of spoiled kids who hate for the enjoyment of it". Well if this is true, then why don't we look back to the "User Reviews" of a few years ago for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 1 or 2. The Positive reviews on those far outweigh the Negatives by almost 10 to 1 on those titles. In Advanced Warfare, we nowI know many people might be saying, "Oh these people just want to be haters. Bunch of spoiled kids who hate for the enjoyment of it". Well if this is true, then why don't we look back to the "User Reviews" of a few years ago for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 1 or 2. The Positive reviews on those far outweigh the Negatives by almost 10 to 1 on those titles. In Advanced Warfare, we now have a ratio of almost 1 to 1, and I'm a little suspicious how these numbers don't match the "Most Helpful" comments numbers. I feel like the true score seems to be 2-3 haters for every 1 "over the top", positive review. Do you think in those few years people have gotten that more nasty just for the sake of it? I think not.

    This game has not changed since Modern Warfare 2, and none of these reviewers including myself are stupid enough to not realize this. The game engine has NOT changed much at all since then. This is because the genius coders behind the original making of this unbelievable franchise have ALL left working on Call of Duty. COD has been a "Mod" ever since MW2 is the fact of the matter.

    Advanced Warfare has nothing special besides some latest outsourced facial scans and swarms of objects that have already been overdone. The Multiplayer is by far the most disappointing, with almost no noticeable positive difference. What we have instead is taking the skill away from playing of the game. This "exo-ability" is the equivalent of an age old issue of "bunny hoping", but now the game is as kill-less pray and spray with people hoping around out of control. "Bunny hoping" on steroids if you will.

    Only because Sledgehammer games has an actual well-organized team do I give this a 2/10. Looking forward to Treyarch's game which we can count on being much better due to their experience with this franchise. I just hope it's not too late for Call of Duty by then...

    After taking a break from Call Of Duty after Black Ops.. yes quite a few games ago.. I decided to give COD another go. Oh boy

    I'm honestly confused as to how major review outlets look at this game, play it, and then give it 8 and above. It's sad really. What they are doing is supporting re-packaging and ignorance.

    COD was designed to be a drug (just like Destiny). Get to the next fix. Doesn't matter that it's the same thing every time. It's only about the high. There is always a new unlock, a new killstreak, yada yada to try and fuel this mundane affair.
    Meanwhile, beaming jingoism into your eye sockets and filling your ears with explosions and the cussing of prepubescent children (even though they are sadly mostly adults), the game is yet again, another rehash, reskin, re-re-er, etc. Reminder: this analysis is coming from someone who hasn't played COD since 2010.

    Everything about the game feels extremely dated (no, adding an ability to jump Halo style or skid sideways does not make it different). The graphics, in all honesty, are some of the worst I've seen in 2014. They are just bland with washy textures and are life-less. To give you an idea, while you are watching an in-game POV cutscene, there is motion blur and depth of field (those add a realistic texture / fillmick look), but the second the game gives you control, the motion blur and DOF are gone. Interesting design choice......

    As I noted before, the ability to jump around doesn't really make the game any different. Actually, the only noticeable gameplay difference I noticed from the added feature was.. people can now camp on roofs. It's weirdly transformed the game from a fast paced shooter to a slow camping nightmare. If the maps were bigger and the people online 'more intelligent' then maybe that could be interesting, but it's not.

    Campaign wise - there's almost no reason to talk about it honestly. Like all COD campaigns, the stories are like an overly long Michael Bay 'Pearl Harbors' (wait that was long) that you just want to get through for the achievements. In fact, the games even more linear than I remember.. and Black Ops was linear.

    I received this game as a gift so.. price wise I can't complain. If you have $60.. do not... do not.. spend it here. If you do spend it.. enjoy the pop ups in the game trying to get you to spend another $50 on the DLC. Yes, everyday the game will pop up asking you to buy the DLC.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The campaign was kinda boring, and didn't really do Kevin Spacey and justice, how do even manage to waste Kevin goddamn Spacey? For the Multiplayer, the maps are far too small to support the new movements, and these new abilities, albeit innovative (For CoD atleast) they're more fluent than Destiny's, but no were near Titanfalls level of fluency, you move like a hot knife through butter in Titanfall. The Exo Abilities are kinda worthless IMO, 5 seconds a life? Or 10 with Overcharged is nothing, especially seeming you need to stay alive for a long time to get Scorestreaks (Which I'm happy they brought back.) Now, on to the Scorestreaks, they're way to hard to get for the casuals, I know playing the OBJ is a lot more rewarding but in some game modes, the score per kill needs to be increase, and the streaks are even harder to get when you customise them. The scorestreaks themselves are worthless seeming you need all that score to get them, I understand that infantry based combat to exercise the new movement was what they were going for, but they simply arn't worth the effort. Most grenades are worthless with the new movement system, even with Danger Close, this itself, makes Flak jacket worthless, also getting perks like 'Low Profile, Cold-Blooded, and Blind Eye' almost instantly those worthless streaks are made even worse, and some perks such as, 'Peripherals' is practically useless against a lot of other perks/new perk ideas that could have been put in Peripherals place. Going back to the maps, they don't seem to be created with the Exo Suits in mind, as some roof tops are accessible and you can see into the enemy spawn, and some roofs seem accessible, but are not. As for the spawns, my God they're terrible you seem to kill 4 people and they just spawn next to you, it's like playing Spec Ops where waves of enemies just fling themselves at you. As for gun Bal(27)ance the Bal just seems to over power everything, and it's unlocked from the go, all other weapons apart from Assault Rifles seems useless and are underpowered, Shotguns wouldn't even be reasonably good if the Exo abilities weren't in the game. The connections in this game seem to be sh*t, 1-3 Bars all round, 'Dedicated Serves like Ghosts' or what they mean is a worthless hybrid server, and people are just teleporting everywhere in game. Meh, they tried to be innovative, and it kinda worked, but they failed on so many other levels that the game is just frustrating for me. Expand

I can't get used to the new exo movements, I don't know if I'm being slow or what, but I find myself staying in the classic playlists.
    The guns don't feel well balanced, assault rifles are by far superior to all the other weapons, with high damage outputs and laser accuracy. Not sure if the multiplayer is uses hosts or servers, but I constantly find myself with a 1 bar connection, meaning I always seem to shoot last. Also find the teams stacked, on my side or the other, I either do well and get a decent score or shockingly and go negative 10.
    I don't get what people are saying in their reviews when they say that 'this is the best looking shooter'. It runs at 60fps, yes, but didn't all the CoDs with their simple style? Battlefield 4 looks far superior to this, which actually looks realistic. To me it's a smoother version of all the past CoD games. I'd happily see a Modern Warefare 2 Redux for the Xbox One, perhaps a Halo:MCC, but consisting of CoD 4, MW2 and MW3. I'd get to play my favourite CoD and Activision can make heaps of cash, we both win! Back to this game...
    The genre is tired, laser guns are boring, Titanfall is for mech suits or whatever they're called. Bring it back to current-day tech, or the the past. Those games were fun and believable.
    Overall unimpressed, all this has made me do is go blow the dust off my 360 and stick in MW2, which is by far, at least for me, the benchmark, with superior map design a noticeable distinction (What happened to map designs, not been a game I like the maps on since Halo: Reach and MW2). I'm unimpressed frankly, and await to see what rubbish comes out next year, labeled as good purely because of the brand. The only way you can tell if you like this is to play it, as reviewers are always rating Call of Duty games higher than they deserve, in my opinion. This game might deserve higher than my 3, but no way is it IGN's 9 either. Just because the name of the game is CoD doesn't mean it's going to be great.

    Distinctly below average, in my humble, humble opinion.

The gameplay is still the physics-defying and recoil-less usual, however, in comparison to Ghosts, the graphics are much improved and, more importantly, the story is interesting and fun, especially considering that the campaign stars Troy Baker's and Kevin Spacey's voice-acting. The multiplayer also is more fun than Ghosts, but the CoD franchise still has some ways to go to get my money, since this game, in my opinion, is a re-skined Black Ops 2 for next-gen with a better story.

    Played Battlefield 4 and it was mediocre but at least it played on my slightly dated but still reasonable rig. By contrast this game was a frame rate, laggy nightmare. So much so I gave up and walked away. Unless you own a pro gaming rig don't waste your time or money on this one.

    As a COD fan myself, I must say that as the latest addition to the franchise, Advanced Warfare makes Ghosts' graphics look like 8-bit. With improved graphics and game play, with a great story, Advanced Warfare could be the most memorable installment in the series....or the least favorite, depending on other fans.

    refreshed campaign and addictive multiplayer which feels fresh and new but still being cod. the co-op may be a bit lacklustre so play with friends but I would definitely recommend this game to any person who has liked a previous cod.

    Some welcome new mechanics which revitalise the multiplayer, particularly the exo-suit which enhances your maneuverability and leads to some exciting and varied gun battles.

However, be warned: this game uses controversial skill-based matchmaking which means you're always pitted against other players of comparable skill. For seasoned players this means that most gunfights are closely fought encounters and staying alive requires a high level of alertness at all times. This is fine for game modes with short rounds such as S&D, but the high intensity can be stressful and frustrating in longer game modes like TDM and domination. Expand

    I have been playing COD yearly ever since the days of Call of Duty 2 on X360. As time has passed I find myself coming back to the franchise less and less. Advanced Warfare has not changed that. COD twitch mechanics are still king here. The maps do not allow any tactical advantages or hot spots.

As time has passed I find myself coming back to the franchise less and less. Advanced Warfare has not changed that. COD twitch mechanics are still king here. The maps do not allow any tactical advantages or hot spots. By doing this, this allows the game to be a constant barrage of deaths from behind and a "whoever sees the first person first wins" type mechanic. For people who like a truely fast paced experience this game ups the ante from normal CODs with its EXO suit abilities. The vertical movements allow you an opportunity to dodge opponents, however unlikely. As someone who considers Call of Duty 4 one of the greatest games ever, I only wish AW would revert to a more simpler aesthetic than that of AW. There's a lot of things to consider when outputting your class. This in my opinion takes away from the skill in the game and just brings more of a chaotic game. They have decided to replace the ability to have both tactical and lethal grenades in place of choosing one or the other and outfitting yourself with EXO abilities that are incredibly lame and useless. The graphics in this game are fantastic, facial expression top notch, and Kevin Spacey is great as you would come to expect. All in all, this is the same COD we've been playing for years. After the honeymoon phase of having a new "fresh" title, you realize its all the same. Missions take from past titles, and are recycled. I feel this game is just another flavor of the month game and with such promising titles coming out this November, COD AW is one you can skip or just experience through a rent. Expand

    Now i don't understand why people would believe that this cod would be different from other cods. Its a call of duty are you expecting another franchise yes its a shooter and the similar, however with the new moving mechanics it adds another layer to the game and can separate the unskilled from the skilled. Also with the new supply drops it adds another element to player customization andNow i don't understand why people would believe that this cod would be different from other cods.

    The guns are all usable and all have different aspects and variations. The new exo abilities also help players have another advantage in different scenarios.

    I personally believe it will be a good year for call of duty.

    Same game as the last one with small tweaks here and there. Same problems as before. No dedicated servers. Plagued by connection issues because of not having dedicated servers.

    Slightly better campaign then in some past titles.

    If you like feeling like you are shooting fish in a barrel one game, and being target practice in the next then this is the game for you.

    Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is a prime example of what Call of Duty should be like, and helps the Call of Duty franchise rebound from it's poor predecessor. Although the game still lacks recoil, the ability to do a super jump in the air, or a dash forward adds loads of fun to the gameplay, particularly multiplayer. Maps are well thought out, and for the most part, prevent "camping",Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is a prime example of what Call of Duty should be like, and helps the Call of Duty franchise rebound from it's poor predecessor.

    like a majority have said in the reviews - AW is a re-skin of a game that is going rapidly downhill. The multi player is riddled with issues..again...thinking they would learn from previous mistakes. afraid not.
    Terrible game.

    its a 1 due to the fact the single player is average....

    I honestly think this game had potential. The exo movements are a cool new twist that add a new dimension. But the spawning system is so bad. I can't tell you how many times I've had a player literally spawn five feet behind me. But even worse is the lag, hit detection or whatever it is.

But the spawning system is so bad. I can't tell you how many times I've had a player literally spawn five feet behind me. But even worse is the lag, hit detection or whatever it is. I get into gun fights every game where my bullets just don't register. Or I get two hits on someone and keep shooting and get turned on and die, in what felt like one shot. There is something wrong when the stats read this way....my previous k/d in other games:

    MW2 1.29 ( first fps game)
    BO1 2.26
    MW3 1.92
    BO2 2.61
    Ghosts 2.26
    AW 1.47

    I know exo suits add a new skill dimension...but I am pretty good at exo dodging and moving out of someone's way to get around them and shoot or punch them and avoid a death. I've not had a k/d this low sine the first fps game i ever played. Something about that just doesn't seem right. And this holds true with most of my friends. My advice....if you're a good player in previous games (1.50 kd and above) then skip this game. It won't reward your efforts. If you're a new or struggling player in previous call of duty games (under a 1.50 kd)...then you will love this game. This game tries to level the playing field and allow bad players to get random kills they otherwise would never have gotten by spawning them behind an enemy player or awarding them a win in a gunfight they really lost. It's the ultimate level playing field.

    A welcome outsider take on a consistent series, increasing the pace still further in online multiplayer to fantastic effect. However, solo play feels a bit safe in comparison. [Christmas 2014, p.79]
