    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.

I like all the jumping all the grabbing all the f****** people up, so if you're looking for a cool shooter you should buy this game instead of destiny or anything else cuz this game is actually pretty fun… Expand

    this game was good. its fast pased. but a bit too fast pased. i mean the sniping was very hard because of too much sway. the gunfights fell out of control. but its still a lot of fun to play and plus its better than cod ghosts.

    I really like the latest installment of the Call of duty franchise. One thing though, people just go in guns blazing and double jumping and wasting all their ammo. The campaign was very good, but it should be a harder to play. Kinda puzzle game mix a bit. There should be more game modes like puzzle mode and RTS. puzzle will make your brain think more. And RTS will have you heart poundingI really like the latest installment of the Call of duty franchise. One thing though, people just go in guns blazing and double jumping and wasting all their ammo.

    A very good game. This, I believe is Call of Duty's comeback. Not to say that it is the best of the franchise, but it is the best we have seen since Black Ops. The story is almost perfect. The bad guy is original and you are in shock when you find out who he or she is. The cut scenes are beautiful. As far as multiplayer goes, this game has the largest maps of any Call of Duty installment.A very good game. This, I believe is Call of Duty's comeback.

    Fun and frustrating at the same time is my experience with the CoD: AW multiplayer. Fun because it offers a new take on a series that at this point has become incredibly stale. Frustrating because predicting the direction of incoming enemies becomes all but impossible (or at least this was my experience) given everyone's increased speed and maneuverability.

Frustrating because predicting the direction of incoming enemies becomes all but impossible (or at least this was my experience) given everyone's increased speed and maneuverability. 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.

    Let me just get this out of the way: people who say that this franchise can't be innovative at all, are wrong.

The new double jump feature (which is not completely present in the single player campaign though) is an surprisingly good touch to the otherwise addictive yet repetitive gameplay. And although it may seem just a little too familiar, it still is one of the fastest and funniest games on the market right now. 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

    Another COD. This one actually was an upgrade from Ghosts for me. I felt this was the best COD since BO1. With a more cohesive story and entertaining multiplayer which changes some things up for better and for worse it improves over some of the previous ones.

    I enjoyed the campaing but I buy this kind of games for the multiplayer mode, that would make a difference because I want these games to perdure on time. Instead, I got bored in multiplayer. I didn't enjoy the clastrophobic environments.

    The multiplayer maps need work, but otherwise this is the best Call of Duty game in years. [Jan 2015, p.66]

    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]
