    Must play for all FPS shooters. I have this on PS4 but even nabbed a chance to try it on X1. Man, its just too awesome. People have to try the amalgamation of COD's rot gameplay and the stints taken from other prominent FPS games. Way to go Sledgehammer Games. You've done it.

    As a former CoD "hater" (since Modern Warfare 3), I was looking forwarding to not liking this game.

I am not disappointed, this is a fantastic game and the effort put into it shows. New mechanics breathe life into an age-old formula. If you've ever enjoyed CoD, give Advanced Warfare at least a try. To be sure, CoD is not as ambitious as EA/DICE's Battlefield 4 (the standard bearer for all modern FPSs). The maps are smaller, the matches far shorter. It's CoD. But if you've LIKED CoD in the past, you should look at Sledgehammer's newest title. I think it's excellent.… Expand

    The missions are a ton of fun and the checkpoint system is very fair. I enjoyed the campaign so much that I can't wait to show it off to my brother. The crisp 1080p resolution makes the experience even better, this is in my opinion the best looking PS4 game to date.

    I don't care much anymore for multiplayer first person shooters but I did try it out a bit and it looked great but I just don't have it in me anymore to put in the many hours I'd need to put in to get any decent at it. So I bought this game mostly for the campaign and I loved it a lot and it's currently my Game Of The Year pick, though that might change in a few weeks weeks when Dragon Age: Inquisition comes out.    … Expand

    Here's the deal. I'm a BF4 fan, but I love video games and am eager to play anything good....especially in the FPS genre. And CoD:AW is good. It's great, in fact. To be fair, the last several iterations of CoD, apart from the occasional sparkle of ingenuity with BlOps and BlOps 2, were boring....with inexcusably antiquated mechanics rehashed over and over again in ways that were intolerable from my perspective. CoD: AW, though, is a refreshing change, without question. Everything that turned me off of modern CoD games has been resolved with this game, IMO. Mobility is fresh and fluid. And, sound! Something DICE does so well and is so important to the overall shooter experience....thank god, Sledgehammer has put some well-deserved attention here. I'm not talking about musical score. Frankly, I don't give a **** about that. It's the ambient sound.....the little crunches and clicks and clinks of gear shifting and moving and moving-parts adjusting/settling into place.....all that little stuff just does it for me. I don't know why, but it does. It its about time that someone in CoD franchise started paying attention. Graphics are better...smoother...more liquid. Mobility...and this one is important...character mobility is MUCH more liquid, without compromising that classic CoD "twitch" that everyone loves. The new mobiilty gives the twitch legs to stretch out with. And this is important because CoD can't pull off what DICE pulls off and needs an element of compensation...and mobility helps in this regard. CoD can't pull off depth/diversity of setting that BF demonstrates. BF maps live and breathe......they are an extension of BF's dynamicism. We're talking destruction, size, scope. Immersion. CoD isn't wired for that...they're maps are still inert, for the most part, inert. There is a nod to "levolution" style events that crop up in some of the maps...like the tidal wave, for instance, in the Defender map....but to me, this shows that Sledge wants to take things that work in other games to apply to there's...in an effort to pump some life into previously and progressively lifeless franchise. But where the maps themselves are inert...the characters themselves, conversely, are blissfully mobile. I've never played Titanfall (play on PS4) but mobility is what made that game exciting, from what I understand. And CoD: AW takes it and adds a sheen of hyper-clarity that BlOps has done well with in the past, to create an almost hallucinatory FPS experience. It is fun. The advanced weapons play on this kind of "break-through" experience too. They're not absurdly advanced as to be unbelievable. They're advanced enough to refresh.

    Cod still has something of an "arcade" quality that keeps it from satisfying on the "epic" BF level. But it stopped trying for that sometimes after CoD. This new game finally pulls off what CoD has become resigned to.....and it does it extremely well. The bottom line is that this is the first time I've felt excited playing CoD since...well...since CoD I and II. I imagine this'll be the first time I don't resort to trading in the game shortly after purchase, as I've done so many times in the past.    … 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.

    Advanced Warfare is a large and varied shooter, constantly impressing you with not only its graphics and gameplay, but also the heart at the centre!    … Expand

    I've noticed most of the 0/10 reviews are poorly written and have no reasoning behind their scores. This game is a solid 9/10, but I'm giving it a 10/10 to offset the hate. If someone says they don't like this game it's probably because they aren't good enough to be playing this game. Beautiful environments, fluid 60fps, everything is a step up from Ghosts.

    This game is clearly the best cod since black ops. It has much more colors than ghosts had and the multiplayer is smooth. The campaign is longer but still very short but I give this game a 10 to carry up the score a bit. I don't understand how people can give the game 1 points because it's just bad. No game is so bad that they deserves a 1/10 score.

Somehow, through the completely revamped multiplayer, the same COD feel emerges. This, mixed with the fun new levels of customization, and the sheer polish of the game (plays and looks like a dream on Next-Gen consoles), Advanced Warfare has serious potential to bring Call of Duty back to its glory days. If you still aren't sure, try out the game at a friend's house, or use the new Share-Play system (if you're a PS4 owner like myself) and make your own decisions. Advanced Warfare steps into the future in far more ways than one.… Expand
