    As of now online multiplayer for this game is all but dead so this is a review of the campaign only. My favorite part of this game was the hover bike section (and the other vehicle segments) If only all of Cyberpunk 2049 were as good as this one segment!!! That should be the standard.

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    Despite the hate the game got because of its futuristic setting, I personally enjoyed it, I thought it was okay.

    The gameplay is smooth, some guns are overpowered but fun to use, and the exo suit mechanics are very satisfying.

    The story had some good moments here and there, great amount of action and suspense, but it's relatively short and very forgettable.

    Final Rating: "Decent" ~ 6/10.

    It's all downhill here, unfortunately. The campaign was weak, the zombies were weak, and the multiplayer was weak.

The lag is horrific and guns are incredibly unbalanced. Save your money for a good game. (My review from 2014.

    In all fairness I have to rate this game 7/10 however it really is a very unfun game I would advise not to bother with. Truthfully I think the game deserves a 5/10 for fun factor but that's not the way I rate my games - I rate them on software quality and that is fine within this game.

The cinematics and graphic style are nice and there isn't a lot, if any software bugs that I came across and there is enough content if you are ok with pretty lame gameplay. For these reasons I believe the game deserves the score I gave it. That said the game play is really bad. Ai intelligence is terrible, squads of enemies just barrel roll and are placed in some choke areas to make the game slightly advanced. Checkpoints are set really close so no matter how bad you are you will advance. Much of the gameplay is actually not gameplay per se but interactive movie quick time events. much of the gameplay is fragmented or disjointed into the missions so no immersion is achieved. Weapons can be picked up by mistakingly reloading over a dropped enemy weapon rather than actually by the game rules of holding the square button for a bit as designed, so very poor implementations. To go on you don't get zombies in the game you are immediately notified it's an extra purchase.....that's not even DLC that's suggestively selling you an entirely differently game. The game overall is very easy and I can certainly see little kids falling in love with this very easy shooter. I would definitely not recommend this to gamers who have previous shooter experience, it's just too cinematic and easy. Expand

    Call of Duty Advanced Warfare Review: 6.5/10
    I think that this time Activision really tried to do something different with the franchise, but it isn't enough to keep me interested in this annual game series. Loot boxes aren't a good addition to the multiplayer experience either. Campaign in the other hand had an interesting cast, an engaging but short story and detailed environments.

    Tengo que decir que lo compre con la expectativa de regresar a la saga después de haberla dejado en MW3. El multiplayer no fue bueno, en lo absoluto, lo único rescatable fue el modo historia con el agregado de Kevin Spacey. nada mas.

    Another year, another Call of Duty. I decided to give this one a try as it looked interesting and was only ten euro's in a store somewhere. Unfortunately, i wish now i would have spent those euro's at McDonalds instead.

    Another year, another Call of Duty. I decided to give this one a try as it looked interesting and was only ten euro's in a store somewhere. Unfortunately, i wish now i would have spent those euro's at McDonalds instead.

    As a disclaimer, i haven't played the multiplayer as it requires Playstation Plus (which is ridiculous), so my review is based on my experience with the single player campaign. And my god, what a dumb, boring, uninspired, overblown piece of **** story that is. Before playing this game i spend some time playing Modern Warfare Remastered, which has military terms, squads that behave (somewhat) with tactics and an intriguing story, making you care about the characters you fight with. Advanced Warfare is the exact opposite of that...

    The story takes place in the future of annoying lensflares, suicidal combat tactics, blank slate characters and above all else... unpractical weapons. You play as a guy that loses his arm while fighting the North Koreans, and becomes part of Private Military that has better equipment than the US Army, yet is twice as inefficient. Once again, some made up terrorist cell decides to restore the world order by destroying it even more (because that has worked so well in the past) and ends up just killing a whole bunch of innocent people. Great writing.

    The level of stupidity in the game is off the charts. in Modern Warfare characters would coördenate before in engaging in combat, but Advanced Warfare decided that wasn't necessary and squad leaders will start running and gunning at the enemy before even informing the rest of the squad! WTF! All the while screaming cheesy lines on the level of: 'Yeah Bruuuuuh!'

    I didn't have high expectations going into this game, but somehow it even managed to accomplish less than that! Visually the game is just quite annoying to look at, as light is either too dark or too bright. The controls remain mostly unchanged from the previous games in the series, with some gimmicks added that you'll use once before forgetting they ever existed.

    The guns in the game are few, and not very distinguishable. Names are mostly ripped-off edgy terms, and the types come down to: Shoots fast and far, and shoots slow and close-up.

    I could go on for many more lines, but i think the point comes across. It's not a good game, and it's a pile of clichés. I give this game a 5/10.

I did find the constraining nature of the scripted campaign to be very frustrating multiple times. Even linear on rails scripted shooters can be done well like Metro, but not in this case no. Didn't really care for the story, characters, campaign or on rails gameplay. Looks pretty plays like on rails crap meets whack a mole BS spawn rate.

    A special mention I so really hate on the A.I. team mates to point I wish I could team kill them. They do nothing in combat, but be a confusing visual distraction. Worse they get in the f-ing way so bad. I wish I could just so solo DooM this COD, but no these useless NPC are needed to tell the crappy B movie story and set up in game events. Like a NPC team mate opening a f-ing door, because my character can't open just a f-ing door, argh. First COD played since COD MW2 not even the sci-fi crap can save this stale mess.

    Whilst the change in formula and movement system is somewhat refreshing, Advanced Warfare seems to do what Black Ops 2 did, but worse. Exo Zombies is a poor attempt at ripping off Treyarch's wonderful Zombies.

    The graphics looks like a game for ps2 in 1080p, which would be fine after all, but the game modes are boring as hell.
    First of all, It takes forever to find a match full of players, probably because it is barely played by anyone 2 years later. If

    If you prefer the hardcore mode as me, you will have to wait 8 seconds to respawn after each death, which I don't understand why it has to be, when there is no such thing in black ops2 or black ops3...
    The maps are overcomplicated and depressing..
    Only Treyarch knows how to make call of duty right..

Kevin Spacey had a good role, but overall this game is just not worth retail price at all.

    -Good Graphics

    Zombies: 3/10

    -Good Performance from Kevin Spacey
    -Fun and heart-warming experience
    -Great visuals
    -Small bugs

    Overall: 5/10

    I dont recommend this title for the Multiplayer or Zombies. The campaign is the only good part that keeps this game away from being the worst game of the year. But there is always runner up.

    Despite having a campaign that lacked story imagination, Advanced Warfare was an improvement in the online department. With Ghosts, the series looked to be becoming stale, Advanced Warfare's innovation of the boost jumps provided a temporary combat to such a factor. Whilst clearly not the long term option, the boost jump allowed for much faster gameplay and more exciting matches.

Multiplayer on the other hand kind of falls flat. The weapons are pretty cool I enjoyed most but the variant system sounded great on paper but in reality broke the game for me and alot others. Pick 13 also sounded cool but since the killstreaks were absolute trash you could just take extra attachments and perks. combined with sub par maps and sad DLC and multiplayer left me wanting better. The survival mode is last and its basically the same from Modern warfare 3 but harder. So AW isn't a worthless game but it sure isn't better than most previous installments Expand

I spent a lot of time pkaying ghosts and AWF and there is something wrong with me pumping a clip into someone who not only survives but kills me with one body shot. Spawn kills are also my biggest peeve in this game. Those two gripes dropped it from a 7 to a 5. Expand

    Story is bored, Kevin Spacey plays good, but that all. MP is traditionally bad (last good COD is MW) lot of stupid Killstreaks with combination bad character moving /stil push L3 analog. Never forget Cod 1 and 2. God era of Call of Duty brand.

The only thing that makes the multiplayer fun is the same thing that made the multiplayer fun since the first modern warfare and the second one. And yes the graphics are better(finally) and the jetpack is fun but that doesn't take away the fact that the game feels like a dlc with a verry expensive price tag. Oh and the campaign is a one time playtrough 4 hour long borefest as usual.

    My conclusion: The game still offers fun but it simply doesn't feel fresh anymore and the extra features are just lazy gimmicks wich get flat verry fast.

    Buyer guide:

    Die hard fan? Buy it , there isn't much special about this game but hey the multyplayer still offers the same amount of fun.

    regular gamer? Let this one slide or buy a previous installment of the franchise (like ghosts or black ops 2 ) for a better price and see how you like it. This wil be a lot cheaper and will be a nearly identical experience. After playing that game you can still decide if you want to buy this game.

If you however happen to be one of the people who don't like new and futuristic stuff, this is not the place to look. The guns are very different, with things like lasers, beam shotguns and even the ability to become invisible at the press of a button. So if you're not into that stuff, i recommend picking up a Battlefield game (with 4 being my personal favorite and Hardline being my least favorite). Trust me. If you don't like future stuff, grab one of those. You will fell better about yourself. If you buy it just because it's Call of Duty, don't. This is for people into games like Titanfall. Otherwise picu up a Battlefield game. Just trust me on this one:) Expand

    The singleplayer was pretty good though I must admit. Now obviously people don't pay the full retail price of a CoD game just for the 6 hours campaign, but I do feel it needs mentioning. Kevin Spacey makes an excellent bad guy and the missions are all quite enjoyable with varied landscapes, vehicles and weapons used.

The gameplay mechanics are almost the same as previous Call of Duty titles, the only things that are new are jetpacks, lasers, guns that print their own bullets, different types of grenades, and the campaign. The campaign is very predictable, what you think that will happen at the start completely happens. There are barely any unexpected plot twists or changes in the story. The developers could have slightly changed the plot in order to make the story less predictable, but they decided not to for some reason. Also, most of the levels feel linear and scripted, except for one of them. The one level that did not feel linear and scripted is what the whole game should have been; this is a second time a good opportunity was passed up by the developers. Nevertheless, the game is fun; it's fun to pick up a controller and just shoot people without having to think about it. This may be why this game's multiplayer is so popular. There is practically no strategy in the online mode - as mentioned before, it is a twitch shooter. During the online mode, most of the players run around the map shooting each other like a bunch of chicken with their heads cut off, and the maps are designed for that. It really depends on how you personally like to play your shooter games, but I do not recommend it for the strategy aspect. I rate the game a 5/10, as the game is just average. Expand

The story is full of plot holes and is laughably predictable, and it's over quickly. It felt like this was the shortest Call of Duty campaign I've played, and I've gone through all of them. I wasn't planning on playing this one at all, but I got it loaned to me and I was pleasantly surprised to find things were actually finally changed. The exo-suits your character wears gives you enhanced mobility, and the whole pace of the game feels more frantic than previous installments. Personally, I feel like it's a little too fast paced for my tastes, with multiplayer and survival being no different. The franchise has embraced it's twitch shooter niche and gone into full on sprint with it, which makes it feel like it should be its own franchise instead of having the "Call of Duty" title. I have to say, the sound is amazing, the best I've heard from a video game to date, and an impressive number of enemies are seen on screen at once, however the problem is they're nearly indistinguishable from the background in many cases, and I found myself relying on target enhancer items to be able to see them, which resulted in me just shooting at the glowing red things versus someone who looked like an enemy soldier, also combat doesn't feel as satisfying for some reason. I can't put my finger on it, maybe it's because the sounds outdo the visuals in some places, but it just seems like they could have done better in a lot of spots, these games are all on a schedule now and I think this one could have really benefitted from a little more time, and ended up being something really special, but you really don't get a lot of game for your 60 dollars. While it has great production values, the majority of call of duty is just shooting, and for me it didn't feel fun, the sneaking mission in the middle of the game felt a lot more fun, and that says something about your shooter. When all is said and done, this is a step in the right direction, although it's not enough to bring me back into the franchise, your mileage may vary though, check it out if you liked the movement mechanics of titanfall but don't want to have to deal with giant robots.

Player hosting. Same issues of weird bullets registering because Activision and their partners don't want to upgrade the gameplay so it can play better since they're making millions already. Exo survival is garbage. I have to pick between light, heavy, or recon and they can't use each others gun. So going light keeps you from the light heavymachines and going heavy means you can't pick assualt rifles or SMG. Modern Warfare lets you unlock anything in their survival mode. It just feels like a step backwards. Then there's the whole zombie DLC thing which at first was a annoyed that players have to dish out more cash for zombies but I thought, maybe the whole DLC will just focus on zombies. Nope. 1 freaking map for zombies and the rest for multiplayer in which I always felt wasting money for map packs was a waste. And for those of you saying that it's not the same developer that does zombies hence why it's "ok" that they are doing this know that Activision has overall control and anyone of them can make a zombie mode. Just because one is notorious for it doesn't make it ok for the other attempting it to charge people ridiculous amounts for what's always been in the game. Really if you want better games it's better to not pre-order and wait to see how the game is. Make developers realize that us players want better quality in our games. At least our 60$ worth. Anyways back on topic. It's CoD. You'll get the same enjoying playing the prior prior CoD (since ghost was crap) as AW so I would save your money and buy something better or buy it at a really big discount. Expand

All of the killstreaks are useless and the pick 13 system hinders the game rather than moves it forward. Perks are relatively useless and their are two guns used in the whole game because the others are so bad. One of the best game modes -demolition has now been permanently removed and doesn't look like it's coming back - and now the only one worth playing is domination if you like team based objective modes. The new game mode Uplink is a waste of time and clearly designed for kids with low attention spans. Exo abilities are also useless and don't play any role in the game. All skill has been removed and anything which made the early games has gone. The days of playing demolition on favela and feeling the thrill of calling in an AC130 after rushing a bombsite are long gone, replaced by retarded jumping and horrific lag.

    The game is slightly playable but lacks the magic that made games like COD 4, MW2 and WAW so special. This is a last ditch attempt to claw back so dignity for a dying franchise, but unfortunately it falls flat on its face.

    The problem is that they haven't given dedicated servers and rely on the terrible P2P host system which causes the most game braking lag I've ever experienced in a COD yet. I used to play MW2 on a 2meg connection and rarely got lag, when I did, jumping server usually fixed the issue and I could carry on having fun. In AW lag is in 98% of games I have played causing massive frustration. I now have 80meg fibre, surely there is something wrong when I could play older games on a slower line and they played better?

    When there is no lag, it can be a little fun, kind of like a free to play game is for an hour or so. Ive played until 1st prestige and feel there is no reason to continue playing. In MW2 I wanted to get all the unlocks and online achievements but in AW it would be torture top even attempt them.

    It is however better than Ghosts, mainly because you can traverse the **** maps with a few jumps so they don't feel as empty as Ghosts Ghost towns.

    Maybe one day they will release a decent cod, maybe they will listen to fans and go back to basics creating great small to medium sized 3 route maps with basic kill streaks and great weapons. Until then, cod is pretty much dead. RIP COD.

    This year's COD release is a perfectly serviceable game and you have to applaud any developer for the work it involves to release a title - even with a regurgitated series like Call of Duty.

As with every other year I've decided to get COD (this year the game was gifted to me, personally I would not have bought it with my own money) I spent about a month enjoying Online Multiplayer with my buddies. It got old pretty quick and is on the shelf now in favor of more recent and better games. This of course attributes to my score - games like COD just fizzle out so quickly, and once the luster of the base maps wear out, the game quickly follows. I would not even entertain the thought of wasting my time on single player in this game.

    Pros:
    -Maps are decent they have some variety and require some thought about loadouts for each
    -I liked how you received custom weapons for each class with varied attributes, more of this in COD games would be beneficial.
    -While overall I didn't care for the "exo skeleton" idea, I liked certain aspects such as the quick dodging / strafe, and how you launch grenades now from a launcher on your arm instead of tossing them

    Cons:
    -Even though I hate using and people that use claymores and C4, I'm bewildered why these items are left out of this game. It seemed to go all in favor of the exo abilities 90% of which are useless. Doesn't make sense to have a war shooter without the full arsenal of basic warfare weapons
    -Exo abilities seemed utterly useless - only found value in the fast speed one really. Exo cloak is very easy to see, stim pack one doesn't last long and you still get shot and die, etc.. They are just useless and bring nothing extra or fun to the table
    -Jet packs in this game are stupid - development is clearly trying to mimic other popular games with high jumping like Destiny. I was in favor of the quick strafing, but the jet packs were gimmicky and simply made play more sloppy and encouraged roof top camping.

    Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare receives a technical 5.5 from me, bumped down to the 5 because I personally found it unmemorable and didn't find the love that would make me want to round up. You either rent or borrow this one for a few weeks of fun online, but I wouldn't recommend buying it.

    It is a typical CoD game. The exo suits add a fun aspect, but the multiplayer has no lasting appeal to it. I spent 2 weeks on MP and i'm completely sick of it. The campaign is fun and definitely worth a play through. The Exo Survival in nothing like zombies, and it's extremely boring. Nothing keeps you hooked on the game, and within a week you'll be regretting your purchase.

Before in older versions of the game you could feel that you were running around the same layout just with different skin. It got boring very quickly and also it gave ppl using sniper rifles an unfair advantage. Most times you didn't stand a chance against a very skillful player. With COD AW now the playing field is leveled out and the average joe has a chance to shine. Exo movement makes the game fun, different and unpredictable. Snipers don't have the same advantage they once had so there's no more sitting on the spawn and getting kill after kill, now you actually have to earn your score streak. COD ghosts was trash I couldn't play it not for one second online but soon as I played this game it made me feel like I was playing a COD from old, which brought a smile to my face. Change is good! They definitely did a good job changing things up while still maintains the core of call of duty. When I first heard they were adding all this "advanced warfare" stuff all I thought of was halo and was worried I would never play a COD again, but they proved they me wrong! Good job Expand

After completing a much longer than expected campaign (which is obviously a good thing!) I ventured onto the multiplayer, at at this i was extremely dissapointed. In my opinion it was just chaos, players boost jumping left to right, no structure, and just not a very enjoyable experience, it felt just like halo multiplayer.

    All in all i think this game is worth the money, you will thoroughly enjoy the missions, and depending on personal preference you may have a good time on multiplayer, it just wans't my style of first person shooter.

    Calls of Duty games have been stale for a while with no major changes in the yearly franchise. The multiplayer was always the true strength in the series while the main campaigns were always forgettable and I was excited to see if Call of Duty Advanced Warfare could step it up and make the series interesting again.

    The story is set in 2054; a world filled with drones, large machines and advanced weapons. The story talks about protagonist Jack Mitchel, a marine who is faced with a tragic event at one of his missions which leads to his discharge because of his injuries. During a funeral, we are introduced to Jonathan Irons, played by Kevin Spacey, a finder and COO of a private military corporation called ATLAS.

    The first thing you will notice is the addition of various high tech futuristic gadgets that are interesting because they change the flow of the game. One of them is the new exoskeleton suit that allows players to boost jump, dash in multiple directions while on the ground and air and invisibility which is used for stealth missions. The exoskeleton also gives you the ability to wall climb and you will have a grappling hook, a gadget which allows you to reach high places.

    Sadly, many interesting features are only limited to certain events during the campaign with gadgets such as the grappling hook are not even available in the multiplayer which is a big shame. The combat still feels very similar which isn’t a bad thing with the gunplay feeling slick and realistic making killing off enemies more rewarding. Some cool grenades worth noting are a tactical grenade which temporally stun and shows enemies through walls after exploding. And the smart grenade which is fun to use because once thrown it will fly into the air and towards an enemy.

    The main campaign is around 7 hours and you will be taken to several world locations each with its unique set pieces. From over the top action to some good stealth mission’s you’ll do all sorts of things from riding many vehicle, blowing things up with a talk to jet flying. The action a usual is very fun and even though the story is better than previous instalments, it is still an overall weak story.

    The only element that saves it from sinking is the addition of Kevin Spacey who makes Jonathan Iron a powerful and ambitious man into an interesting and entertaining character who steals the show at every scene. The fantastic voice work by spacey makes Iron stands out and believable. This alone makes you want to continue through the story to see the conclusion.

    The true star in COD is the multiplayer, with more than 10 game modes from domination to survival co-op and 13 different maps. The multiplayer has a couple of new modes and one of them that I found interesting is uplink, a fun mode that mixes a bit of capture the flag and basketball with guns. The addition of the exoskeleton in the multiplayer as usual adds more variety in the gameplay because you can customize it depending on your strategy and mastering it will surely earn you a lot of kills.

    The introduction of the supply drops is a brand new reward system that earns
    you items such as character gear for more customization and reinforcements that gives you boosts and perks which allow you to gain the upper hand during battle.

    Many people might have decided to take a break from the call of duty franchise as the last couple couple of games weren’t very good but Call of Duty Advanced Warfare is still an overall fun game that is better than previous titles and a step forward in the series

The MP is fluid and the survival mode, while bland, is fun for a short time. Which is fine for me, as I don't play COD for longer than an hour or two anyways. It's worth picking up, and offers a fun time. Plus if you're worried about the changes, it even has a classic playlist! So you can play COD how you like it. The supply drops at the end of games adds a bit more of an incentive to play as well.

    It's still COD at the core, not the greatest game. Though it's been beaten with a stick. AW is very welcomed, and I even applaud it for doing something new. I would have rather have zombie mode than survival, and hate the fact it'll be DLC. The new guns are quite fun to fool around with, even a couple of new perks. The biggest downside to me is simply not enough maps. At rank 13, I shouldn't of seen every map twice. The game is a 6, if you're a COD fan who buys the season pass, you'll love the game. Sadly I am not.

    Maybe I'm just tired of the series, but I do not find this game fun at all. The addition of the exo-suit doesn't bring enough to make this feel different enough from the other entries. Jumping around and dashing gets old quick. The exo-abilities are useless, perks and score streaks all the same as before. MP maps are my least favorite of any previous COD.

    Advanced Warfare is the first Call of Duty game in a long time, that tries to take the franchise in a new direction, with added mobility, new weapon types and gadgets, and a relatively faster and new way of moving around the maps.

Graphics-wise, it's pretty much what we've come to expect from a Call of Duty game; it's quite good, but nothing spectacular. The single player campaign is very predictable, and the term "on-rails experience" certainly applies to this game, just as much as any previous installment in the franchise. With that being said, the campaign is still a fairly enjoyable experience, as long as you don't mind staying within the mission perimeter/following the squad leader at all times. Personally, I found it to be quite frustrating that the mission would end and automatically restart every time I moved slightly outside the mission area.

    The multiplayer experience felt quite refreshing, to me, but it certainly doesn't appeal to everyone. Advanced Warfare is based around the use of the boost mechanism and "exo-abilities", and it takes a little while to get used to. How well you'll perform online, is directly affected by how well you've mastered the use of these new features, and that's something that's likely to put a lot of people off this game. This new way of moving about the online maps, has allowed the developer to add more layers to the maps. You can now easily get on top of balconies and obstacles in a flash, and moving from point A to point B is easier and faster than ever. The downside to this is that, since the maps now have more layers added to them, and since they now have a diagonal, rather than the popular, linear design, you'll often find yourself in situations where you'll get crowded and fired at from several angles, at the same time. Some people won't mind this, but it certainly makes playing online feel more chaotic and unpredictable, compared to previous Call of Duty games.

    All in all, Advanced Warfare is a pretty good FPS game that does a few things that haven't been done in this particular franchise before, but the new features will most definitely alienate some veteran players and fans of the retro-style Call of Duty games. Sledgehammer games have taken one step in a direction that's completely new to the Call of Duty franchise, and I suspect that whether people will enjoy Advanced Warfare or not, is a direct result of whether they think too much was added to the game, or maybe too little? Only time will tell if it was a good call by Sledghammer to "sit on the fence" with this game, rather than going in a completely new direction, or simply sticking to a successful formula.

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

    The exo-survival is the weakest point of the title.It is essentially a horde mode in which you fight against enemies with exo-suits.It is a good time with friends but repetition spoils the fun at the end.It is here to provide an extra level of strategy and present a new challenge to fans of horde mode.

    The multiplayer is a breath of fresh air for the franchise since it uses new gameplay mechanics that make the game more fast paced and fun to play.However,there are several issues that will hopefully be sorted out through patch support.Gun variety is absent at this point as only 2-3 weapons seem to be really effective.Exo abilities are not very useful and scorestreaks lack lethality. The game had a rough launch with a lot of lag but I can safely say that the PS4 online experience is the smoothest after the 2 connection patches that came out. I also played the game on Xbox One but I decided to review it on the ps4 section since multiplayer is working properly on this version of the game.As more consoles are sold in all regions connection will be evened out but I'd give the edge to the ps4 just from personal experience.(this is the first time I am satisfied from a CoD game connection wise on psn because all previous CoDs seemed to have worse ports on ps3/ps4).Lag or no lag,the game is fun to play and difficult to master.

    VERDICT:
    +Spectacular Campaign
    +Fun Multiplayer
    +New mechanics

    -Lack of depth
    -Not ready out of the box

    I give Call Of Duty Advanced Warfare a 7/10 and I'd gladly recommend it to CoD veterans.It seems like this game is not Call Of Duty's dying breath but another year of killing and killing and killing...

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Call of Duty: Advanced warfare is a new and fresh idea of the already established game play, the graphics look great, the sound stunning, and the setting is just amazing, but it got allot of negative sides as well.

    Lets start with the single player, its amazing, but the story is to predictive, it had no emotional feel like the other call of duty (for example blackops 1 and 2) had, it felt like it lacks the passion of a good story, that the writer was a bit lazy, it lacked the feels, emotion, and best of all, a good story line.
    You basically got hurt in the fight, get discharged, then someone give you another chance, just to see your arm being beaten up with a tire iron by the same person who gave you a second chance, you fight for survival, and that person dies in the end. When you yawn in any game with a campaign with story telling, its not a story you want to see again.

    Now about multiplayer:

    I really was surprised in how well designed the maps were, it was made with great concept of detail, and it felt alive, the exo suit (rather want to call it a "jet pack" in multiplayer) is a great new concept that still need allot of fine tuning to make it being balanced correctly.

    The promise of that they will remove the ability to quickscope, was ones again not seen in the final product, the only call of duty made by another company really tried removing that aspect was blackops 1.

    At this point, you can call the promises many developers make these days lies, because they are being silently ignored, or not respectfully taken by heart in the final release of the game.

    Note to DEV: ONLY make promises you can keep, and want to keep, els it will bite in your ass later in form of a lawsuit.

    Now... about the net-code (in normal terms lag).... *put on the serious helmet, and click the belt along the cheek.* ITS PLAIN HORRIBLE, yes, you hear me correctly, its so horrible, the mini map is not in sync with the game, and actually is working in a delayed fashion like a grandpa that tries to keep up with the rest of the packets. I wanted to call CoD ghost bad on this one, but i will nominate this game instead of the golden poo.

    In short, the campaign was cliche, short, to predictable, and to emotionless and lazy from the writer.
    The mutliplayer aspect of the game is horrible at this state, horrible lag, others seem to see you earlier then you see them, the minimap that displays teammates firing, is delayed by a couple of seconds, and still they think we are retards who belief them when they say they got dedicated servers for match making (like that is anything different from mw2, mw3, or even blackops)

Although the story line is predictable it is still fun to work your way through the event's that take place. It's a shame that the majority of player's will only pick this game up for the multiplayer since it is pretty broken. I have no idea why developer's are not usingAnother COD, another mediocre effort.

I have no idea why developer's are not using dedicated server's 100 percent of the time. When the server traffic is high there's a good chance you will end up on a "listen" server (aka, peer to peer), in which case if your not hosting or have full bar's, you are at a major disadvantage, especially with a game that has an extremely low TTK. All too often I find myself getting 1 hit and having bad game's only to check the score board and see I have 1 bar (it's not my internet...). In it's current state the game is barely playable. Expand

    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]
