    Advanced Warfare is here and sadly it just isn't very good. I recently rented this game hoping it would be better than Ghosts. Boy was I wrong, Ghosts although bad was not nearly as bad as this over-hyped "innovative" shooter. The formula is exactly the same except they added a double jump mechanic that has been well over done in 2014 video games.

Boy was I wrong, Ghosts although bad was not nearly as bad as this over-hyped "innovative" shooter. The formula is exactly the same except they added a double jump mechanic that has been well over done in 2014 video games. Advanced Warfare tried to be new by adding the "Exosuit" but it turns out that was a big flop, it feels like your solider is from the Crysis series, not the Call of Duty series. Now for some pros and cons.

    Pros:
    1. The graphics are very good for the most part, especially since it's a cross gen game.
    2. Kevin Spacey has a strong performance in the campaign.
    3. The futuristic environment is pretty cool at times.
    4. Some of the new guns are fun to use.
    5. The multiplayer is fun for a few hours.

    Cons:
    1. Same old Call of Duty gameplay.
    2. Some of the graphics are really ugly when viewed up close, especially the environment.
    3. Weak story.
    4. Switching between grenades is annoying.
    5. Really really bad sound bugs. Entire cutscenes will go silent while the gun fights have bursts of dead silence to full on blasting. It makes having sound on the game almost unbearable, after the fourth mission and this bug happening many times, I finally muted the sound and relied on subtitles the rest of the game.
    6. Easiest Call of Duty to date.
    7. You have to pay for full Zombies, Zombies has always been my favorite game mode and I now can't try it because it costs $15.00.
    8. Survival mode isn't really fun or interesting.

    So, there we have it. This game like I said was a rental, I will never purchase the game, or give it another second of my time. Very disappointing for the series, I and many others were hoping change would happen.    … Expand

    Can anyone honestly say they don't know what they're buying when they pick up a Call of Duty title? Sure there might be a handful here and there, perhaps parents picking the game up for their kids or individuals getting it for their significant others, but the vast majority of players who go out and get a Call of Duty game know exactly what they're getting.

    Call of Duty is nothing if    Can anyone honestly say they don't know what they're buying when they pick up a Call of Duty title? Sure there might be a handful here and there, perhaps parents picking the game up for their kids or individuals getting it for their significant others, but the vast majority of players who go out and get a Call of Duty game know exactly what they're getting.

    Call of Duty is nothing if not predictably stagnant when it comes to over the top cinematic single player experiences and a multiplayer suite that hasn't substantially changed for the better part of a decade. All you have to know when deciding whether or not to buy a CoD game is to determine whether or not the core mechanics of the franchise are worth dropping $60 on every year. It is entirely up to you.

    If you're a fan of the series and said mechanics then this game is probably an 8. If you were once a fan of the series but found that you lost your appetite for it once it became stale then it's probably more akin to a 4. If you find the lack of gameplay advancement repugnant, as many do, then you will absolutely hate it and no doubt join the masses of haters who rate the game with a 0. This naturally begs the question of why you would buy a game you know you're going to hate, but I guess some people get off on that kind of thing.

    Tossing the irrational "zero" scores out, lets split the difference on the assumption that you know what you're getting when you buy this game and call it a 6. Buy the ticket take the ride, or don't. It's entirely up to you.    … Expand

    This is based soley on multiplayer. Advanced Warfare has the potential to be outstanding, but insane lag and lacklustre weapons leaves something to be desired. Let's get to it.

    Multiplayer: 4/10. The creators promised us a change to the classic formula, but the only thing changed is the method of movement; the upside is that we finally get a double jump. My first match in
    AW was great with no problems or errors at all. After that, all hell broke loose. Lag makes opponents impossible to kill, and gives them the opportunity to mow you down quickly. Glitchy servers often
    result in matches not functioning properly; A lot of times, you get stuck in spectator mode watching a player run up against a wall. These same servers often boot you out of a match, too. Another gripe with AW that I have, is that many weapons can no longer beat an assault rifle at range. Want to beat someone at a long distance with a SMG like you did in all other COD games? Think again, your bullets won't touch that guy over there at all!
    Character customisation: 6/10. Helmet and outfit selectors are great, but preset heads just aren't enough. Add some sliders in there!
    Graphics: 9/10. Standard COD fare. Insanely detailed environments and characters make the graphics a highlight.
    Sound: 10/10. Guns sound great, voices are excellent, and the soundtrack is a blast as usual.
    Overall: 5/10. Until the multiplayer is fixed, the score remains an automatic 5. While the sound and graphics are stellar, laggy multiplayer makes this a hit and miss. I recommend this game only if you're a die-hard COD fan.    … Expand

    the game disappoints in graphics, well below the recently released games, the story is reasonable, the weather is very futuristic attracts players, but should improve the graphics, I do not know why the graphics be bad so maybe the fact the game be at 60fps can be a reason, but the graphics are bad near 2008,2009 games, 2010 .. not recommend buying this game in the old generation.

    Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is just like all the other COD's but you have an Exo Suit so it adds some more movement and versatility to the game. The story is fun and looks great. And i was playing on the Xbox 360. The multiplayer was about the same as the other COD's except for the boost abilities. The weapon selection isnt that great and the game modes are about the same.

    Advanced Warfare is one of the most boring and unsung games in the series. Firstly, there are no new ideas in it, only the repetition of the mechanic Black Ops 2. I can only appreciate a single game, it is completely not remembered except for Kevin Spacey, although his character is the most cliched shadow antagonist. The Xbox360 version of the game looks like all previous parts in 5 years.Advanced Warfare is one of the most boring and unsung games in the series.

    The campaign is generic, the exo-zombies mode sucks, but at least the multiplayer is really fun.

    I might get hate for this, but the missions were good, the characters and story was really bad. I found myself only enjoying the multiplayer. If you want a futuristic COD, run to BO3.
