    Short campaign. But the graphics were pretty amazing! I beat it just one day.. For me the story just needed to get more longer, that's it! Otherwise its a pretty good one!

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

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

    + Campaign

    + Exo Suit...

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.    … Expand

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

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

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

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

    The exosuits were a good idea, but they come out as a hit and miss. The campaign was alright, though that is mainly due to the good voice acting. The multiplayer is bad once again. It doesn't work as a public game nor as an eSports game. Boosts really hurt the gameplay especially in SnD. Latency and lag issues are worse than they were in Ghosts.

    The game looks cool, but it certainly isn't.

If you have no good luck your screwed because you cant get elite weapons, elite weapons is a modified version of the normal gun you unlock at the start. In the old call of duties I loved to put my sensitivity low since people wouldn't move as fast but now its really annoying how people are jumping left right and center I cant keep track, I have to put my sensitivity high but its so fast its annoying. Exo abilities and exo launchers the the most stupid idea ever made, tactical grenades and primary grenades share the same slot so now you can only equip one kind of grenade. With exo abilities sledgehammer added something called "exo mute device" which would replace the old perk dead silence so now your footsteps will only be silenced for a few seconds, also "exo cloak" you are literally invisible and cannot be seen at all which gets on your nerves since people run invisible with a shotgun shooting you from no where. Score streaks are very short and don't last long, most of them you have to control yourself like the warbird, paladin, Vulcan, Goliath, missile strike, aerial recon drone aerial assault drone, remote turret, I basically just named all the score streaks except for 4 of them. Usually I like staying on the ground finding people to kill while the chopper is in the air getting kills as well but you have to control the choppers now so there is a disadvantage for you. Most of the CoD community ruins the game by camping, running in pairs, trash talking, and just ruining the game mode like domination. In domination the objective is to capture flags and get the most points and still get kills but most people would just hold down 2 so the other team would not leave and you understand where the spawns are and the game last longer so you get more kills, about 40-50 kills each game. Now in CoD AW everyone just cares about holding all flags, you get at least 15-25 kills each game since everyone is so focused on holding every flag. Overall I think this game is horrible and the biggest mistake in the call of duty franchise next to cod ghost and I hope sledgehammer never makes a mistake like this again… Expand

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.

    It's not the best CoD ever made but it's a good spin if we consider how they keep pushing multiplayer to a whole new level. Campaign mode is also very good but not as deep as I thought. Anyway, CoD is CoD, they got their own agenda and style and we keep buying it because we know how to play it and the mechanics are really useful to us. Stop sobbing, nobody push you to buy it.

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.

    Great job trying to revitalize the call of duty franchise, but it came about two years too late. This game is very fun, retains the traditional play of call of duty, and adds diversity with the addition of the exo-suits.

    This game gets a 6 because the campaign is amazing until the last mission which was just disappointing and the online was good but not as good as other call of duty online games, also zombies was a dlc thing which was annoying because i didn't really want it get dlc because i don't enjoy the game as much as i thought overall this game was like the last call of duty just a bit better

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

Advanced warfare makes mw3 look like call of duty 4 in comparison, it is a absolute, unconditional disaster with little to no redeeming value.

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

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

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

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

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Call of Duty has been in a state of decline after many entries, each with the same formula and same approach to gameplay. While Treyarch constantly brings new ideas to the party (peaking with franchise best, Black Ops II), Infinity Ward hasn't innovated too much since MW1. Sure the two sequels were great, but Ghosts was a massive disappointment for the first entry on new gen consoles. It just felt like COD at its most basic, with minimal improvements in multiplayer and co-op and none in the campaign. Advanced Warfare is basically the Modern Warfare of the 8th generation and it is an amazing first effort for Sledgehammer Games, who were never so much of a B-List Team as they were regarded as the C-List. The new Exo suit, the brilliant campaign, the highly improved multiplayer and the enjoyable Exo survival makes this the biggest, best and most badass Call of Duty around and the greatest entry so far (surpassing BLOPSII as my personal favourite).

    Starting with the campaign and oh what a campaign it is! Set in the year 2054, you play as Private Mitchell- a good soldier who enlists with his friend to fight some bad guys. While taking on a mission in North Korea, the fight turns bad and Mitchell's buddy is killed after a sacrifice to save lives. Left crippled and without hope, Mitchell doesn't expect to be contacted by Jonathan Irons- the father of his friend Will. Head of an elite private military corporation known as Atlas, Irons is responsible for the technological advancements within the current wars. Contracted as a soldier of Atlas, Mitchell begins his fight to root out out terrorism and evil overseas. However, not all is as it seems at Atlas and Kevin Spacey (I mean Jonathan Irons) may not be as genuinely good as he first appears...

    The campaign is another 8-10 hour globetrot, packed with set pieces and quick-time events. While this may sound like another design similar to Ghosts, the story actually hits some emotional beats and the performances are unbelievably good, helped along by amazing motion capture that makes full use of the next gen graphics engine at hand. The story itself also confronts some serious themes, like the horrors of war and the will to stop fighting. The collectible intel also adds more context to the actions oof Irons and sheds light on the narrative in interesting ways. But while the great villain and well written story elevate this past all previous campaigns of the series (including BLOPSII), it's the set pieces you're here for and boy are they good. The vehicle sections are excellent, with hover bikes, a submarine-like speedboat and a fast tank. There is an assault in Antarctica, an open ended grapple/stealth section and the final sequence where you storm in with giant Titan-like suits. This is all well and good, but I wouldn't be commending this so much if its gameplay wasn't so damn good...

    The exo suit adds new layers to the combat and the new abilities make this feel like an accomplished sci-fi shooter.The brand new gadgets are amazing, with variable grenades that bring choice to your shootouts. You can gain the ability to slow down your shooting like "Bullet Time" or you can cloak yourself to add some stealth. Double jumping and boosting (not the MP kind) are so fun to do and stomping on foes from above gets better every time. Shooting is relatively the same, but you don't have to kill everyone with a knife or a gun with all these well thought out options.

    The improvements stretch to multiplayer as well, with the exosuit making the fast pace of COD even faster.There are new modes like the enjoyable Uplink, along with plenty of playlist variants such as one that removes the exosuits from the players for a more traditional experience. The new maps are bigger and better than ever before and the new graphics engine makes this one of the prettiest online shooters around. Customization is also given a greater focus, with unlockable gear and large amounts of ways to make your soldier look different. You can check out other people in the lobbies, with their fancy gear gained from supply drops. Similar to the BF battlepacks, these are earned periodically and net you cool things like gun variants or pieces of an outfit. There are also co-op scorestreaks and they're even customizable with care packages that can be loaded with bombs and cloaks. In short, this is the best multiplayer offering of COD yet and one of the best online experiences this year.

    There's also survival mode, with a dedicated online component, multiple maps and plenty of options to keep on going through the waves. There's a special surprise at the end of it all and this can add at least 4 hours to the run time if you want to unlock everything. It isn't quite as accomplished as the MW3 variant or as addictive as the famous Zombies, but it's worth a play.

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

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

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

This FPS multiplayer is spot on- spawning, framerate/graphics, combat precision, and maps are all great on PS4. So much better than Ghosts.

    Advanced Warfare is overall a decent game. It's not mind-blowing the way MW2 was, but neither is it lacking in any egregious way.

    The campaign is adequate, but the story is especially silly. As the series drifts farther and farther away from real-world events, the stories becoming increasingly ridiculous. On a raw, action-based level, the missions are fun enough. However, the on-rails nature of the campaign is becoming tiresome, as the power of new-gen systems allow quite a bit more freedom. The last level gives a taste of what real freedom would feel like with fast-paced COD action, but it's the only level of its kind. You're still mostly running forward to trigger scripts.

    The graphics look good and run at true 1080p/60 FPS. I wish I could say the same about the audio. For some reason, only Treyarch has managed to figure out how to make weapons actually have sound. In AW, nearby enemies and allies all make muffled, tinny popping noises when they fire their weapons, making firefights sound lifeless and suppressed. The folks at Sledgehammer seem to have no concept of how loud guns actually are. Perhaps they need to spend some time at a range.

    The multiplayer is relatively well balanced. The exos add a nice variation, making this COD feel truly different. I especially liked how the Exo allows the player to jump on top of buildings and sheds, adding a level of verticality to the firefights that reminds me of Quake III. The new Uplink game mode is fantastic. It's basically rugby with Exos and guns. Thankfully, Ghosts' overcomplicated system of perks has been replaced by a Black Ops II-style "Pick 13" system. Character customization is a mixed blessing. It's fun to choose your own gear, but it makes it harder to tell who's on your side when there are no team-based uniforms whatsoever. Sledgehammer should have partitioned the gear by faction, but they didn't. The sci-fi weapons are entirely unnecessary (and rarely used), and the special exo powers were a nice idea that end up not being terribly useful in execution.

    Split-screen and bots both make a comeback, so those who don't care for online competitive gaming have plenty to do. The bot AI is smarter than ever, and you have the full range of weapons available from the start.

    Overall, this is a solid game. It's not going to blow your mind, but COD's still the beefiest sandwich at the deli. No one dominates this market forever, but this isn't the year of COD's demise.    … Expand

It borrows a few aspects from science fiction games such as Destiny and Halo, and many criticise it for that. The Campaign takes away some good features that were introduced in Black Ops 2, such as customized loadouts and somewhat branching storylines, but adds some good features of its own such as the upgrade system, which works quite well. The campaign itself is way better than Call of Duty: Ghosts (take that for what you will), it features enjoyable missions and mission structure. The exosuit introduces some interesting abilities, such as overdrive abilities, riot shield, hover and other abilities that allow you to play the game to a whole new level. Comparing it to previous Call of Duty games, yes it is somewhat similar, but if you liked the previous games, you will definitely like this one. Exo Survival is another welcome addition, similar to Modern Warfare 3's survival mode, but slightly more complex. Exo Survival introduces objectives as you play, which you can complete for extra points, and you may be penalised for not doing so. I didn't play much Multiplayer, due to the fact it is mainly comprised of young children these days, but I did enjoy the matches I played. The Sniper-only mode was quite a fun and frantic one. But now, downsides: it is quite similar to previous games, some places seem to invoke a state of "deja-vu", and a lot of the good content (such as zombies) has been ripped out in favour of DLCs, which I continue to hate. I would be a lot happier if Activision made DLCs cheaper, or included some content in the main game. Of course, DLCs will be present in pretty much every game nowadays, so there's not really much point denying it. Safe to say, the people giving this game 1s and 2s are completely exaggerating, and they sadly dishonestly bring down the average. Anyways, I recommend that you find this game for a reasonable price (£20-30). If you like the previous games, you'll enjoy it. If you didn't, it's best to avoid this one.… 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.… Expand

Boost jump is an amazing addition to your arsenal allowing you to dodge enemy attacks or close the gap to rush an opponent. This carries over into coop too. The new exo challenge mode is great fun!

    The campaign is excellent too, but still leaves me feeling a little uninspired unlike some of the earlier games in the series. Where this game lost its first point with me is the writers inability to move away from the team murica mentality this series seems to have adopted over the last few years. The second point it dropped in my eyes is the AI. It's never changed in 5-6 years. You're AI teammates are quite pointless and enemy AI only seems to be able to see you in all situations both as a lone wolf or as a single member as a large team.

    I'm really glad to see a return to form for CoD both on and offline and hope that other studios developing other games in the franchise can keep the momentum going that was lost with black ops and ghosts.    … Expand

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.

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

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

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

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

    Multiplayer score wise: 2/10

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

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

The idea of futuristic CoD didn't really appeal to me at first (I still think COD4 was as far into the future (present?) as they should've taken it), but with an open mind, I'm really enjoying it.

    The visuals are beautiful, framerates are always consistent regardless of the action going on, the audio is dry and wet when appropriate, the lighting is gorgeous, and the mechanics, although new in certain areas, allow anyone who has played any of the previous games to jump in and not end up last on the scoreboard. The maps seem better designed and less linear and with the addition of the exo abilities, allow players to get to new heights without having to glitch or use other means to access vertical areas.

    I think as the game has evolved, the create-a-class menu and options has been over-complicated and overwhelming, but AW seems to have simplified this to a degree. A better explanation as to what component does what would be nice, but tinkering with things gets the job done.

    For those who claim the game is a re-skin, or re-x, understand that it's still Call of Duty, just like racing games will still revolve around you driving a car on a track. If this is something that one can't get over, then it's time to move on. For those that enjoy the multiplayer experience of past CoD's, you'll likely be pleasantly surprised.    … Expand

    The exosuits were a risky addition but payed off & helps keep the game fresh. It feels more natural than I expected anyway. The downside tho is the maps had to be made to suit, and I'm not feeling them.
    The graphics are superior to Ghosts, and the campaign beats it hands down as well.

    Best single player campaign ever made in a FPS. However Search and Destroy (my favorite multiplayer game mode) is now unplayable. Next year I just want to see another game set in the past!

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

    This is an absolutely horrendous game. The online multiplayer is the worst gaming experience I've ever had due to their socialist lag balancing system. You'll unload 15 shots into an enemy then die, watch the replay, and it'll show you firing twice. I have a 125mbps D/50mbps U w 5ms ping.

This gives me a great ability to judge this game at is full potential, and I must say there is almost no potential here. Now, let me explain, this Call of Duty like the last four, going all the back to the first Black Ops, starting off with some issues in terms of lag and what not. Something not to worry about at first, but now it has been out for a month and I have not seen a single change, nothing to correct it. Instead, I find myself, in more and more hacked matches, where literally the match starts and someone calls in a bombing run, and does it non-stop until the game crashes or everyone on the other team leaves. This also brings me to the second issue with this game, the lag, it is probably the worst I encountered of all the CoDs, no only does it have a time delay, if you are lucky, it also has the tendency to freeze mid game. Now, since then I have looked this up and found that it is all a result of the hosting, that being one person in the lobby is the host, and depending on how far you are, and their connection, you can either have a great game or a terrible one. In fact, If you are the host, unless you are sniped or shoot in the back, in one on one battles the host will general win, as what happens on their system is what the game takes into effect. This is only multiplied by the extremely small maps, and low health levels, literally meaning the host can kill you and do it again for the game gives you control of your character.

    All in all to sum it up, this continues Call of Duty's long decline in terms of Multiplayer, now every once in awhile you will find a Gem like Black Ops, but this horrible designed ones in-between make it hardly worth the risk to pre-order let alone purchase the DLCs. So, with that all being said, I would say there is a small hope for CoD with Treyarch, but I would not pre-order it, instead I would rent it, check the reviews, etc. instead of pre-ordering it or buying it outright.    … Expand

    I am not the most dedicated Call of Duty fan. I only played three games in the series before my time with Advanced Warfare. I enjoyed Black Ops, hated MW3, and disliked Black Ops 2. However I am surprised on how much I enjoyed AW compared to the other games.

    Pros + Campaign missions are a blast with lots of different super-tech death machines to use. + Campaign is shorter but I felt    I am not the most dedicated Call of Duty fan.

    Pros
    + Campaign missions are a blast with lots of different super-tech death machines to use.
    + Campaign is shorter but I felt more engaged to play it than the other CODs.
    + New abilities like the grapple hook, boost jump, overdrive, shield, etc. are game changing in the whole way a COD game is played.
    + The graphics in this game are unbelievable.
    + Multiplayer is as fun as ever with new modes and customization to try out.
    + Shooting controls are fantastic and majority of guns are very usable and varied.
    + Exo Survival is a fun co-op mode
    + Kevin Spacey!
    + Even though DLC, when zombies come, friendships will be strengthened.

    Cons
    -Short Campaign nevertheless
    -Utter Waste of having Troy Baker voice act
    - The Campaign ending (What the hell?)
    - If you hate all COD games, this game won't change anything
    - Only three modes is my biggest problem again concerning a cod game.

    Score: 8.1/10 (Rounded to a 8/10) Just because it is COD doesn't mean it is bad! Fun game that should be played before judged.    … Expand

    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 felt the need to drop a steaming deuce on the disc before returning to scamstop for my petty 5$ reward. Developers seem to be glaring at cash while masturbating instead of creating decent games.

    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]
