    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is Sledgehammers' first attempt at making a full Call of Duty installment. And I think they did a pretty good job in regard to that. But that doesn't mean that it's the best when it's in comparison to previous and future installments.

    The story begins with a cliche death that you don't really care about since you've not been able to create any sort of bond with the character. But it's the means to push the story forward and to fully introduce you to "Atlas" which totally isn't the bad guy.

    After a few missions, you kill the leader of a terrorist group that recently caused a big nuclear situation that left many cities devastated. But the leader of the terrorist group gives you a USB stick that shows that Atlas knew of the threat and decided to let it happen for profits (who would have guessed a big corporate private army would become the enemy,)

    Then you connect with your old team with Sentinal and go to fight your once ally now for Atlas. Which you technically never successfully achieve because the story ends with you killing the leader instead of Atlas being completely destroyed (as hinted in the game after you complete the final mission.)

    Overall the story is not memorable but not terrible. Gunplay was alright though the aerial mission near the end where you control a fighter jet felt weird with and without inverted controls.) A good first attempt by Sledgehammer but not that impressive when compared to the other games in the series.    … Expand

The Campaign sucks, I cant be bothered to go back and replay it. The real highlight is the Multiplayer great customization options for your guns but thats to be expected. Map Design is generic, several feel exactly the same. In the end this game is a 5

    Advanced warfare is a very mixed bag. On one side you have very pretty graphics and a very solid campaign however the multiplayer experience is quite mediocre with unbalanced weapons, clunky gameplay and a large portion of the maps are very forgettable. It isn't a bad game but not a good one either.

    Honestly this game can be summed up by very good campaign with good story and characters, and below average multiplayer than no one, and I mean no one still plays. Overall this game is solid but not worth it at the time of release for online players or even now for that demographic.

Jet packs make the pacing faster, but it can prove challenging if this isn't your style of gameplay with people jumping around all the time. My biggest gripe with Advanced Warfare is the supply drop system, specifically the Advanced supply drops. Paid microtransactions just need to go plain simple. If you are trying to get one of the supply drop exclusives, just wait for a weapon drop event or get it from a regular supply drop.… Expand

    Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is amazing and terrible at the same time. The campaign, in my opinion, is the best in Call of Duty history. Zombies is a somewhat flawed experience, but, nevertheless, is fun. Multiplayer, however, has the most issues. One can simply pay to level up and get better gear, making for a imbalance. This makes the multiplayer a tough experience to enjoy.

    The graphics aren't that great, however, I'm pretty sure noone expects them to be at this point. The single player campaign was forgettable. You'll obvsly not be playing through that gem again. Honestly, COD: Ghosts was at least a point and a half better than this game.    … Expand

    This game was a good attempt to revive COD but fell short. Kevin Spacey did a great job acting and the campaign was a load of fun. However, the multiplayer became very boring very quickly and is very unbalanced because supply drops give out OP weapons.

    Call of Duty Advanced Warfare is an okay game, it's not the worst CoD out there but certainly not the best CoD out there.

Then there's multiplayer, Jesus, it's awful, the multiplayer feels like CoD Modern Warfare 2 because everyone uses heavy weapons (like rockets or laser rifles, or the only revolver), and other Over Powered weapons. Also, the Supply drops is where it ruins the multiplayer, by adding even more Over Powered guns like the Obsidian Steed, Insanity, Silver Bullet, Inferno, Relic, and way too many more. And my, anyone's luck in the multiplayer is really bad - I only managed to get two good elite guns in my 30+ hours I invested in multiplayer, I even bought Advanced Supply Drops, what's so advanced about them is that they somehow manage to give you garbage despite looking like a big gold bar. And The Zombies, I felt Exo Zombies was bland and boring, good level design aside, the zombies mode isn't good, they try to copy Treyarch's Zombies formula and add Exo Suits and make everything look all futuristic, and add WAY too many types of zombies. But Advanced Warfare has its moments, it still deserves an okay score.… Expand

Now if your too retarded to understand what i mean by that, it is a metaphor, you know comparing one thing to another, Ahh forget it your probably playing the game right now aren't you. Advanced warfare opens up once again in the future (who would have thought) as you play poorly developed guy no.12 as he fights cliche movie villain no.7 as they fight using monologues in the most cinematic experience in the most fast paced shooter of all time. As you apparently play as someone your supposed to care about who cares about other people. Now my question is, if i already hate the protagonist why the hell should i like the even more unlikable secondary characters "because plot dammit". Now since i cant in my own words describe the stupidity that is the campaign ill let you invent it for yourself. See that COD i'm giving a person choice wink **** wink you dense bastards. I honestly wish that combat was solid i wish i could, but its as variable as a person with dementia remembering where the toilet is. The game throws random equipment at you, telling you use that, when honestly the game isn't all that hard and bang, bang shooty shooty always works so why change tactics, thruster jump is only limited by COD's love of invisible walls and development shortcuts that makes me think did i buy hold my hand simulator 2014.

    The villain of the game Jonathan Irons played by the Oscar winning actor Kevin Spacey. Spacey did a fine job playing the villain, nothing really special I mean through out the game I kept seeing Frank Underwood from the TV show House of Cards which is nothing wrong with that I'm just saying.

    The characters you don't really care about I mean they just stick in the mood point A to B characters that you don't get attached to and when something happens to them I'm there not caring at all.

    Now for the part I didn't enjoy all that much, multiplayer. I didn't care for the changes they made with the multiplayer and does little to actually change the gameplay as a whole. The booster packs and mech suits were just a copy cat of Halo. Call of Duty has had a problem as of late with copying other game mechanics, but this was just too obvious. Activision needs a major transformation of this series' multiplayer.

    Advanced warfare is easily the most innovative call of duty in years. Does that mean the franchise has finally once again achieved what call of duty 4 did so long ago? Not at all.

    The game does well with incorporating a faster speed as well as more verticality with exo-suits, but it's the guns, equipment, and perks which are heavily disappointing for the multiplayer aspect of the game.

Most all weapons are incredibly weak, leaving almost no diversity in the guns players actually use. Exo abilities are a joke and most choose to go without. Perk slots are taken up by perks 100% necessary such as one which makes you invisible on the mini map while using your exo suit. However; gameplay is satisfying. Kill streaks are effective. Maps are mediocre, which is 10 times better than maps in the franchise's previous installment.

    While there is most definitely room to improve, this is the first time in years that I've kept a call of duty game for more than a couple of months and actually enjoyed it. It keeps me coming back to play, and for that I am thankful.    … Expand
