    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

I don't want to knock the great work that Sledgehammer did. I think the idea is that you're supposed to be so immersed in the action that you don't have time to look around. I just found it and the gameplay to be good, just not spectacular. But (and it's a big but) don't listen to the 0 and 1 star reviews. That's ridiculous. You know the series. You know what to expect.

    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)

    I honestly think this new addition to the Call of Duty series is quite a good game, nothing special but it definitely does not deserve all the bad user ratings it has gotten. That being said, the campaign mode, however enjoyable it may have been, was far too short, if you buy this game at full price, you don't really get your money's worth.
    I have just recently started the multiplayer mode and must say I'm happy they've actually tried to make the experience more different, even if it is not ALL THAT different! The exo-suit, while it does not provide you with a whole load of new abilities you'd expect, it still has a few really cool helpful tricks that you might enjoy and prove to save your ass during battle. The Exo Launchers and Exo Ability slots also have some cool selections to choose from that can be of great use when you're in a pinch. This opens the game up to a lot of different ways of playing, coming up with different tactics, and just feels pretty damn cool. If you were expecting a totally new Call of Duty game however, apart from the stuff I just mentioned, there's not a whole lot, but I'm satisfied with what they have changed.

    TL;DR: Good game with an enjoyable but short campaign, with some great differences in the multiplayer mode but probably not worth buying at full price.    … Expand

    Wow. Really wow. Call of Duty is back, and this time better than ever before. It looks really amazing, and the cutscenes are jawdropping.

    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.

    Not bad, not fantastic. Much improved over ghosts but that really isnt saying much. The campaign story was a bit stale but I enjoyed playing through it. Multiplayer is pretty fun but not much has changed. Overall, worth the buy but, if short on cash, you might wait for the upcoming farcry and AC titles coming soon.

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

    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 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    … Expand

    Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is a very surprising experience. It is a more enjoyable experience compared to Ghosts and Sledgehammer's/Infinity Wards's Modern Warfare 3. The exo-suits provide a fun, fast-paced multiplayer. Rarely will players sit around corners and camp due to the exo-suits maneuverability and because of how fun it is to just jump, run and slide around the map in a blaze.Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is a very surprising experience.

They brought back the Black Ops concept of picking items in a limited amount of slot, which provide for great class building and a very expansive choice suited to your preferences.

    The multiplayer does suffer from some problems though. Mainly, there will be some points in a match where connectivity drops dramatically and you are left in a "rubber band" motion, where you are just skipping back and forth, but I assume this will be resolved very soon. Some of the weapons suffer from being very bland and boring, but this is the case in just about every Call of Duty in one way or another.

    All together, the multiplayer is a great improvement compared to last years installment of the Call of Duty franchise. While some may judge it for being a Titanfall and COD lovechild, its a must-play for fans who love fast-paced action,    … Expand

    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

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.

Now don't get me wrong, I used to LOVE playing Tribes 1 and 2 back in the day but jet packs just feel wrong with the gunplay of the CoD series.

    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.

    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.

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

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.

    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.

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.… Expand

    AW is better than Ghosts hands down, however it does not live up to the hype. Sledgehammer took the ideas of Halo and Titanfall and renamed it COD. This will probably be my last COD game I buy. They had a good run, but everything must come to an end. Keep your money, buy it when it drops in price. When you get it enjoy Call of Duty Advanced Titanfall, I mean Advanced Halo, I mean, well you get it!

    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.

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

    More or less the same COD game. Campaign is wayyyyy tooo short make it more interesting for once add more too it. Graphics are the only think worth praise.

    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.

    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.    … Expand

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.

    - Basis coop mode is so poor
    - Not a lot of weapons, and they're not balanced (only 5 or 6 make the difference, the others do not compete)

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

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Have you ever wondered what Lester the unlikely would ply like if he had powered armour and a gun?
    no? Neither did I but sledgehammer games sought to answer that question anyway. CoD:AW, while being a pretty game, with solid voice acting, and all the action and gimmicky moments you expect from the series relies on a "on trick pony" to move the plot along in nearly EVERY FREAKING LEVEL.

    --------------------------------------------------MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD------------------

    Nearly every level has one Guaranteed moment where you are somehow stunned, pinned against wall by something, fall into some pitfall and are stunned, get sucker punched as you open a down and Knocked down or out, and something dramatic happens that may or may not move the plot forward. the first time, is admitly cool where you fall off a moving truck but use mag grips (gloves) to catch yourself on the side, jump to another moving vehicle to rip the armor off, grab and toss the driver into a pillar and back on to he previous truck and it's all down hill from there.

    Alright right just kill a group of enemies, time to enter the hous...oohhhhnoooo I'm been sucker punched and knocked down for the umpteenth time aren't I badass yuk yuk yuk. Every level save maybe two, never fails. It's like a Survival horror game that tries to use only jump scares every five minutes to bring the horror. It only works once and the novelty wears off pretty fast. . When you have to rely on the same gimmick every level to move your plot forward, it might be time to fire your writer.

    My only other complaint about the complain is the friendly fire penalty. The one thing the series has not evolved past from when CoD was a ww2 series. When you are playing on veteran, you often don't have time to check if the guy shooting in your direction is friendly or not. Specially in the wide open areas where the battle has become rather chaotic. On numerous occasions I've had to restart check point having almost completed a task only to have a friendly npc run in front of me as I was shooting at something making me start completely over. Or as I said accidentally shot a friendly cause he was shooting in my general direction as I peeked out from cover and only have a split second to react due to the difficulty I am play on.

    Other than the story is pretty good, though it relies on many of the CoD tropes from games prior.
    The armor abilities were more subdued than I thought they would be, but it's to the benefit of the setting.
    not every game with "power armor" can be Crysis, and thankfully CoD did not try to get.
    Sure, there is stealth and increased jump power/double jumping, but you also get a "Sonic" sound attack
    That stuns a bit, a riot shield to help you get to that next piece of cover, little strafing boosts to help get you out of trouble, along with a few other neat little tricks.

    The weapons feel solid, and sound good. The Grenades have a new trick to them, allowing you to switch it's type on the fly rather than having you use which lethal or tactical or have on you.

    The multiplayer is standard CoD fare with added movement abilities thanks to the power armor to spice things up a bit. If you liked the previous games competitive or survival modes then you'll find plenty to be happy with. New kill streaks, some interesting, some not, some brought over previous games.
    You also get "supply drops" Which grants new, sometimes temporary items of various sorts.
    "modified" varients of guns that fire faster, hit harder, or are more accurate, "supply drops" that occur at
    a set interval of your next match and ever armor/gear.

    The is one last issue I need to address. the $50 season pass. Activision what kind of crack are you smoking?! I don't care how good your game is, there is no way I'm spending that kind of money for "DLC" I can get a whole other game, maybe even two if I buy used with twice as much content as the DLC. $20 while still pricey, would be a fairer price.

    Speaking of armor and gear, a feature that was in ghosts that I enjoyed makes a return, the ability to customize your "operator's" look.
    Though the Squads mode does not make a return. Still not being locked into a specific character model
    be it male or female is an always welcomed touched.

    So, all and all if you are someone whom follows the series with enthusiastic glee then you'll feel right at home. If you hated the games prior, then you still won't find much to redeem it, aside from solid voice acting and pretty visuals, and if you are sitting on the fence then consider renting first.    … Expand

    I'll start off with the good about this game. It's mindless fun and runs very smoothly on PS4 and the graphics are relatively good. I haven't played CoD since Black Ops because I wanted a more competitive skill based shooter, but after being a little burnt out on Halo and Battlefield I decided I wanted some simple mindless fun, which this game has provided.

It's still the same, "I see you first, I get the kill." It's basically a giant game of hide and seek but with guns.

    Now, to the negative.. It's still the same "I see you first, I get the kill." It has been fun playing this no skill game, but I'm already pretty much tired of it and will go back to a shooter that requires skill. This game is just a bunch of people running and flying around very tiny maps shooting each other in the back. Most of the guns feel the same, and pretty much all of them kill you in about 2 to 3 hits. What I actually used to really enjoy about CoD was the killstreaks. The killstreaks in this game are horrible. Some are virtually useless, such as the recon drone where you have to control the drone just to spot enemies while your player is standing out in the open looking at a computer screen and gets murdered because there are no "safe" places in any of the ridiculously small maps. I don't get the excitement of working toward a kill streak in this game as you did with helicopters etc in MW2.

    I'll still play this game some when I don't want to have to put effort into being good at other games.. It's a decent game to grab some beers and have a stupid fun night, but that's about it.    … Expand

    I recall in the 1990s a game had to have at least 40 hours of single player play time to be considered legit. A game that had a mere 15 hours was once beaten up in reviews far and wide for the short playtime as a rip off.

At the very least they should have marketed it with free access to future single player campaign DLC to make up for the extreme brevity of the single player campaign.… Expand

    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.

    CoD with jetpacks. Really that's all there is. The same CoD but now people are double jumping around acting like it's new and exciting denying that Titanfall did it first.

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

    Absolutely average. New parts could have made it fun. But it's still using the same crappy net code that I swear they've been using since 4.

    I have 30gb download and 19 up. So I should be perfectly fine. But I will get three clear hit markers, one a headshot, the character will still be fine and dandy to run away at speeds of a F1 car. It's broken.

    COD AW plays like a hacked version of Ghosts. The maps are badly designed mazes with. You can no longer predict enemy routes or behaviour as spawns are broken and each room or flag area has ten different ways to get to it, causing chaotic gun battles which require no skill, just luck. All of the killstreaks are useless and the pick 13 system hinders the game rather than moves it forward.COD AW plays like a hacked version of Ghosts. The maps are badly designed mazes with.

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.    … Expand

    I don't like it this game because it shows itself as more of the same, nothing new. What really annoys me is the fact that you aren't free in the game, you have these game scenes that you HAVE to do it, like a movie. So it doesn't matter what you do, it is just a script that you have to follow and that's not why I like to play games.

    Now Advanced Warfare is supposed to be a step in a new direction for the series and "reinvent" the Multilayer. I don't feel like any of that has been accomplished very well, the addition of Exo suits lets you double jump and move around the map very quickly but just makes a fast paced FPS even faster.

If you drop into the Multilayer at low level you will most likely be ripped apart but higher levels with extremely modified guns.I also tried the single-player for a small amount, It looks really nice and the story follows some deeper themes compared to earlier games in the series. At points I found some Enjoyment but I still feel like this one can get group with the rest of the mess labeled "Call Of Duty". If your a fan of previous games and the fast paced game-play you will still enjoy Advanced Warfare, If you haven't played Call of Duty in years...maybe keep it that way.… Expand
