    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

    COD: AW tries to innovate and does it by taking some steps in the wrong directions

    + Kevin Spacey
    + Campaign
    + Online still fun
    + Exo Suit...

    - Exo Suit needs improvement
    - Some maps are just plain bad
    - Supply drops

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

When you die very very quickly and can get shot from 18 different angles you and your enemy will just take turns killing each other in your blind spots. It's just boring as f*ck and the reason I stopped playing.

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

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

    Buyer guide:

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

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

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
