It still feels the same with a twist of the EXO. Yes jumping around is cool and can save your ass...adds some instant value in multiplayer. I agree the campaign is short but when has it not been??

    People buy these games year after year, even when they know things don't change that much for the simple fact of having different maps. Yes we can buy map packs...but it's still something new. If you are expecting a great change...nope, not here.

    The game is still fun to play as COD has always been. It deserves better ratings than what it is being given.

    Yes I am still waiting for the breakthrough in some game to take me away from my COD fix. Nothing ever compares to the fast pace of the COD franchise. This game is an 8/10 and still waiting for something else.    … Expand

    There really are some fan-boys doing the rounds on here, does a game really warrant a 0 that its so terrible in your eyes? Do people deliberately go and slate a version on a rival platform because it bothers them so much?

    I can;'t remember the last Call of Duty I played, the most memorable for me would've been the first Modern Warfare. After that I grew tired of the same thing happening every year while nothing else changed. It might be for the fact that I've not played the franchise for a few years that I'm actually really enjoying it so far.

    I don't care what platform people own, its preferential choice at the end of the day. I'm reviewing the PS4 version because its the version I have. I expect the XB1 version to be pretty much identical just as I would expect last generation versions to be similar among themselves.

    If you enjoy COD buy this game, if you're after a game which doesn't involve much thinking, can be played with friends and is genuinely entertaining buy this game. If you're insecure about the platform you own - grow up.    … Expand

    I skipped MW3 and Ghosts. I loved Black ops 2 a lot. This feels similar to black ops 2, and it is fresh enough to give me a reason to play it. I'm enjoying it so far into week one. Still feels like call of duty, but enough changes make it fresh.

    I'd like to point out that Call of Duty is a shooter, and that's what you will get from this game. New things about this game are namely exo suit (there are different types of suits, some allowing double jump, some allowing cloak, etc), "new weapon" (they still shoot bullets after all) and futuristic theme (2054 vs 2024 of black ops 2), but three things are quite a lot.

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

    GREAT SHOOTER, BUT MORE OF THE SAME. It's still COD, people.

    I'm changing my review a bit after taking in the game for a couple days. Initially I was really impressed by the larger than life single player campaign, but after some digesting it's more obvious that it is very similar to past entries. The Call of Duty series has garnered as much hatred as it has admiration. With COD it's    GREAT SHOOTER, BUT MORE OF THE SAME. It's still COD, people.

    The Call of Duty series has garnered as much hatred as it has admiration. With COD it's hard not to make comparisons to past entries in the series. Even with this in mind, the game excels and surpasses even the most beloved COD games.
    With this iteration things have been turned up to 11. The set pieces are bigger, things are definitely prettier and the game runs silky smooth. It feels fresh and the extra year they spent on the game definitely shows.

    I think the reason gamers are hating on this one is that it hasn't revolutionized the series. It's not the game-changer everyone had hoped for. It's still a great game, but it is a COD game at it's heart. If you go into it with the expectation that it will be very similar to past games in the series, with a few changes and you enjoyed those past games, you will surely not be disappointed.

    I do have to add that this game takes a huge dump on ghosts.    … Expand

Firstly, the campaign GAMEPLAY has been improved to a nice effect. ( Some of which are stealth missions, some missions with bigger maps, etc), with high-octane action still present from the past Call Of Duty games.The exosuit (and it's respective abilities) may, at first thought, seem to be a 'small' addition or gimmick, but it's really not just that, what people don't realize immediately is that it adds a whole new layer to the multiplayer: VERTACALITY, this adds much to the game, especially to the multiplayer component of it. I respect that Ghosts and MW3 left a bade taste in peoples mouth's but please don't let that get in the way of stopping you from enjoying this solid experience. One more note; the graphics have actually received a nice boost and have the aesthetics of a real next gen game and thankfully, for the sake of game play, run at a smooth 1080p @ 60FPS with almost no frame rate issues such as stutter or drops. I would sincerely recommend this game to FPS fans, I believe that even if you didn't enjoy some of the previous few iterations of the Call of Duty Franchise, this should please you, just as it did to me (I am not the biggest Call of Duty fan due to some of the previous games).

    I'll start off by saying Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is leagues ahead of the abomination that was Call of Duty: Ghosts and I think that doesn't surprise anyone. While the story is the typical CoD story of giant set pieces and relative predictability, during my time with the campaign I found myself just relaxing and enjoying shooting people in the head which is more than I can say for the last two Call of Duty games.
    Online multiplayer is more or less of what i've come to expect from the franchise; Nine year olds screaming into their mics whenever I kill them the same way twice, the inevitable quick scopers(which should have been fixed by this point in the series) the constant lag problems i face with those who have a poor connection and the occasional nice guy who is a pleasure to play with.

    Overall this game gets an 8/10 because while its more of the same in terms of Multiplayer the set pieces in the campaign and the EXO suits make playing this year's CoD just that much more entertaining and therefore deserving of some more play time this holiday season.    … Expand

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

However, once I got to playing this, I found myself thoroughly enjoying it.

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

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

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

    Year in, year out I see the same comments on the franchises such as CoD and FIFA, where people's main criticism is 'more of the same'.

If the formula is kept the same - people complain about repetition. If the game is changed too radically -Year in, year out I see the same comments on the franchises such as CoD and FIFA, where people's main criticism is 'more of the same'. Whilst this is an entirely valid comment, I'm not sure what people expect from a well established franchise that sells millions of copies every year. If the formula is kept the same - people complain about repetition. If the game is changed too radically - people complain that the game is no longer the series they know and 'love'.

    This is where CoD: AW get's the balance brilliantly. Without straying too far from the well trodden path of the CoD franchise, there isn't much wiggle room for a new developer to innovate. However, Sledgehammer have found the gap and exploited it beautifully with the new movement mechanics of the exo suit.

    Make no mistake, the new changes in movement style results in a much harder FPS experience for the standard, casual gamer. The pace of the game is fast, and mastering the dashes and boots to effectively traverse maps and areas is difficult to become accustomed to. But with some persistence, the game becomes very rewarding, but most importantly FUN.

    I find the word 'fun' to be the key one here. For me CoD has not been at all enjoyable since Black Ops, with Ghosts being the lowest troughs the series has seen. AW on the other hand, drags the series out of the muddy valley and at least onto the hillside of a peak, if not quite the apex.

    Note this game is far from perfect. Still Activision have decided not to provide dedicated servers for the franchise (which I find completely astounding), and so issues with lag, connectivity and the much-hate 'bendy-bullets' persist. Sadly, this seems to have become somewhat of a trademark to the CoD series.

    There are some odd implementations from the developer (which are being patched) such as equipment that can only be used for a limited time, and incredibly hard to attain camos (now patched), but overall, many of the new implementations work.

    You may have noticed that I have been almost exclusively dedicating my writing towards multiplayer here, however, I have completed the campaign and there's not much to say here. It's the standard story line of most CoD (and modern FPS for that matter) games, with token missions and segments aplenty. One major point in the favour of the campaign is the cutscenes. The next gen power takes these to an entirely new level and they look incomprehensibly realistic.

    The game as a whole (including in-engine) looks nice, but this is to be expected of a AAA title nowadays. The sound and music are solid and fairly immersive; especially when in an intense battle online or solo.

    In spite of the glitches, mild gripes and standard online issues, CoD: AW is a well built FPS with a new edge for the series. Don't be fooled, this is not a revolution in gaming in any way shape or form. But it does what it says on the tin, it's Call of Duty, and all-in-all, CoD: AW is fun. For me this is the most important thing; after all, isn't that what games are meant for?    … Expand

I've played every version back to WaW. CoD Ghosts almost broke my interest in the franchise. It was a pile of garbage, period. Advanced Warfare has restored my faith in the series.

    The multiplayer is smooth and gorgeous. Sledgehammer seems to have found a happy medium between the super tiny, three lane monotony of BO2 with the huge, incongruous monstrosities that were featured on Ghosts. The exo suit additions are decent changes, but nothing that will knock your socks off. Hit detection seems good, although time/shots to kill need to be brought down a bit, imo. The new, update "pick 13" system was a great decision by Sledgehammer, and lets you customize your killstreak rewards in ways never before possible.

    Overall, this is a solid CoD game. If you are a fan of the series, you will enjoy it and be grateful that they did not let Ghosts sound the death knell of the CoD franchise. There are a few balance issues and tweaks to work out, but overall, I am pleased thus far.    … 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 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.

    Following the disappointing Ghosts, Advanced Warfare marks a return to form for the Call of Duty series.

    Campaign - While the majority of my time thus far has been spent in multi-player, what I have played from the campaign has been enjoyable, and a clear step up from recent COD titles.
    The game looks gorgeous visually, and the character performances allow you to become immersed in what has been, for the first few hours, a coherent narrative. The "Advanced Warfare" also helps keep missions fresh, providing new toys to play with and experiences that aren't exactly identical to previous COD's. The only issue I've had thus far is with the quick time events. The prompts are so small you can miss them if you are drawn in to the action around you, which causes you to replay a section.

    Multi-player - Fortunately this game builds off the multi-player from Black Ops2 and acts as if Ghosts never existed. This means the game has went back to the more traditional and addictive ways of unlocking items and completing challenges.
    Some new features include the ability to modify score-streaks, a pick 13 system (instead of 10) and supply drops. The supply drops could have been an issue, since they are random, if it was the only way to unlock equipment, but instead they just add to the experience since they provide new apparel and modified versions of weapons that you can receive simply be leveling up.
    The game also returns old modes while providing new as well, Uplink. Really there is something for everyone. Don't like the exo-suit? There is a classic playlist that allows you to play without it. However, that may be a mistake since the suit does open the game up and changes the dynamic of the entire experience. It provides a sense of experimentation and wonderment that has largely been absent from the series since the initial Modern Warfare.
    The main negative at the moment has been lag and connectivity issues. This can be a major problem in a game like this, but it also is the first week, so such issues are not unexpected. It is worth monitoring how this is addressed or if it stabilizes here in the near future.

    COD may not be the thinking-man's tactical first-person-shooter, but what Advanced Warfare does is bring the fun back to the series. And really, isn't that what you are looking for when you purchase and play a Call of Duty title?    … 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

    But to be honest this is one of the first COD's in a long time to actually impress me, and make me feel my money was well spent. The last COD to do that for me was MW2.

    So lets first talk Campaign (without spoilers). The story was ok, it could have been better. But it was very good looking and well performed. The actors did an amazing job, the cutscenes were mind blowing, and the missions were pretty good. Nothing Special but a good campaign.

    Now lets talk Coop. Now the Coop for now is only Exo Survival. This mode is fun, but is alos a challenge. Most people did not want t play this mode until they heard of the zombie wave. But to get to the zombie wave, you have to play over 200 rounds of Exo Survival. The Mode isnt horrible and if you like it the rounds will go by fast. Were also supposed to get an actual Zombie Mode in DLC, and i know it sucks that you HAVE to ge the Season Pass to play Zombies but well its too bad. Hopefully Zombies will be just as good or better than Treyarchs Zombie Mode.

    Now for the main part of the Review, Multiplayer. The Multiplayer is pretty damn good. After the update for the Lag Issues, the game has gotten much better. The spawns are not as bad as people think. Ranking up seems much faster than previous CODs, there isnt a HUGE amount of guns to pick from, but you should find your favorite very quickly. Its really what you should expect from a COD game. Other than the Exo Suit, the game isnt really innovative. But thats not a bad thing, they made it right, COD now requires a little more skill with having the Exo Suit in play. Your still going to have Campers, Drop Shotters, Quickscopers, and anything else you hate. So if you cant get pass the dicks in the community of COD, or you have a **** Internet connection dont buy this.

    This isnt a reskin but it also didnt recreate the genre. If you enjoy COD its a must buy, if you hated all the previous Entry's its not for you. If your mainly a single-player guy its not for you, if you enjoyed Titanfall you MAY like this    … Expand

    This game seems very different from any of the other CODs I've been around. It took me 4 or 5 matches to get used to the double jump and side shifts, but I think it works nicely.
    There are still the general campers, but what PvP game online doesn't? The key difference from other COD games is the amount of vertical movement that goes on. Rather than everyone being on the 'floor' with the occasional sniper in one of the 3 vantage point spots, these maps usually have 3 height levels. A change, but you learn to look up a little more often. The pace is faster than earlier versions, but you 'catch up' pretty quickly. Several people are making the Titanfall comparisons, which sounds accurate but I did read that these guys started planning this game out a year before Titanfall went to work, so they just got released sooner. I don't see that being a reason to start saying "merrr, they copied them!".
    Anywho, overall I've had a lot of fun playing this in the last few hours (still need to check out campaign, but that's an afterthought for me). As far as cons go, I think some of the new movement needs a bit more polish. Or maybe I just need to practice it more. Also, the spawning points online seem a little finicky. Some spawns you are surrounded by teammates, others you take three steps and get hit by an enemy. If you've played any CODs before, you know they'll touch up on this in an update in a week or two.
    There is just a quite a little to get used to, so I'm going to get back to it. Happy gaming, people!.    … Expand

    The campaign does add new features into the gameplay, things like threat grenades, which allow you to see enemies through walls, or new gun add-ons which briefly display enemies infront of you when aiming down the sights. The jump pack gets used a decent amount, and allows for variation between the usual; enter room, gun down some goons, repeat. It's still generally very similar to previous installments however, around an 8 hour campaign, mass explosions, saving the world etc, don't expect anything that new or exciting.

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.

    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 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.

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

    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'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.

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

    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 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.

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

    Campaign- 9/10

    Exo Survival-6/10

    Online-7/10

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

    To never changing! This is my first Call of Duty release that came back on since MW3. I switch to BF because I couldn't handle the same game release for the N time. I guess this break was good, just like a junk food that you decided to never eat again because you want to stay healthy, but after few years you decide that you are done with all that healthy BS, and decide to indulge yourself.To never changing!

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

    The story is set in 2054; a world filled with drones, large machines and    Calls of Duty games have been stale for a while with no major changes in the yearly franchise. The multiplayer was always the true strength in the series while the main campaigns were always forgettable and I was excited to see if Call of Duty Advanced Warfare could step it up and make the series interesting again.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    After the disappointment that was Ghosts, COD: Advanced Warfare rights the ship and picks up where the Modern Warfare series left off. The game looks gorgeous and the new exo suit adds a dimension of game play not seen in a COD game before.

    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

Now Advance Warfare has brought features like the exo suits and the various abilities that come along with that and indeed it has changed the game completely it forces players to play at a fast pace or else they will simply fall behind. The game is like every other Call Of Duty in that is very murderous but the change of pace in the game has really inserted a breathe of fresh air into the series and it is a massive step forward from last years Call Of Duty:Ghosts and I feel that the exo suit and its abilities has given new life into the CoD series for a little bit of time but for how long? Overall even though many features will be the same with Call Of Duty it is still a lot of fun which at the end of the day that is what Call Of Duty is all about isn't it?… 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

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

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