    Fun and frustrating at the same time is my experience with the CoD: AW multiplayer. Fun because it offers a new take on a series that at this point has become incredibly stale.

Frustrating because predicting the direction of incoming enemies becomes all but impossible (or at least this was my experience) given everyone's increased speed and maneuverability. Now don't get me wrong, I used to LOVE playing Tribes 1 and 2 back in the day but jet packs just feel wrong with the gunplay of the CoD series.

    The singleplayer was pretty good though I must admit. Now obviously people don't pay the full retail price of a CoD game just for the 6 hours campaign, but I do feel it needs mentioning. Kevin Spacey makes an excellent bad guy and the missions are all quite enjoyable with varied landscapes, vehicles and weapons used.

    Despite having a campaign that lacked story imagination, Advanced Warfare was an improvement in the online department. With Ghosts, the series looked to be becoming stale, Advanced Warfare's innovation of the boost jumps provided a temporary combat to such a factor. Whilst clearly not the long term option, the boost jump allowed for much faster gameplay and more exciting matches.

The new double jump feature (which is not completely present in the single player campaign though) is an surprisingly good touch to the otherwise addictive yet repetitive gameplay. And although it may seem just a little too familiar, it still is one of the fastest and funniest games on the market right now. If you however happen to be one of the people who don't like new and futuristic stuff, this is not the place to look. The guns are very different, with things like lasers, beam shotguns and even the ability to become invisible at the press of a button. So if you're not into that stuff, i recommend picking up a Battlefield game (with 4 being my personal favorite and Hardline being my least favorite). Trust me. If you don't like future stuff, grab one of those. You will fell better about yourself. If you buy it just because it's Call of Duty, don't. This is for people into games like Titanfall. Otherwise picu up a Battlefield game. Just trust me on this one:)… Expand

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

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

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

    Call of Duty Advanced Warfare Review: 6.5/10
    I think that this time Activision really tried to do something different with the franchise, but it isn't enough to keep me interested in this annual game series. Loot boxes aren't a good addition to the multiplayer experience either. Campaign in the other hand had an interesting cast, an engaging but short story and detailed environments.

    And Multiplayer is still fun as well. Adding in its still balanced and yet fun gameplay mixed with a Titanfall free-flowing mechanics. Its a more faster COD. And it feels fresh.

    BUT

    The campaign mode. Its GOD AWFULL

    Ok, sure, its better then Ghost, I will give you that, but it still feels barebones and rushed. Like all the other ones. First, we are randomly thrown into South Korea to go kill some North Koreans without a "Why?" and then crash into some building and mow down our way through some Koreans. What happens then?

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
