    The campaign on Advanced Warfare is great compared to previous CoD games, if only for the fact that you can actually follow the story! Kevin Spacey is a great addition and although there’s no real surprises in the story it’s quite enjoyable to play through. In this franchise (and its competitors’) I don’t expect much from the single player modes, but this was a vast improvement.

    The multiplayer modes are where these games make their money. AW doesn’t make the “huge leaps forward” that you may have read in some reviews, but it’s as good, if not a little better, as its previous versions. The loot system is a nice addition but it’s not quite right yet. There’s a lot of confusion as to why you receive the Supply Crates so there’s no way of encouraging more to come your way. Often when you do receive one it’s less than useless, but I like this idea. I’m keen to see how they develop it in future releases.

    We lose a bit of the selection when it comes to the weapons, we gain a couple more game modes and the clan system. I’m not sure the clan thing really works but I can see this being improved shortly. The new “Uplink” mode is a lot of fun and adds a little more variety to the gameplay.

    Overall, this is still a re-issue of the same old CoD format with the usual improvements here and there. Nothing positively or negatively shocking here, just another good CoD game.    … Expand

Kevin Spacey plays his role very well(as always) as well as the other voice actors. There were actually characters that I gave a damn about this time around instead of just random red shirts. The story is compelling and levels are well-designed. A very satisfactory campaign overall.
    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.
    Overall, I would call this game good, but only due to its stellar campaign. However, it is almost at the point where a great campaign is no longer enough for satisfaction.    … Expand

The game itself is nothing short of fine craftsmanship; it's just not enough of a lure to drag me away from other games. The campaign, whilst brilliant is somewhat forgettable and per-COD-renown way too short. The inclusion of Kevin Spacey is brilliant and his role is well fulfilled.

    The multiplayer got what it needed. A little variety. The Exo suits do spice it up a bit and make it feel fresh. The Campaign is interesting enough for a CoD campaign. Spacey does a pretty good job. I like what I have seen here with this CoD but it is still just another CoD. Fun off and on but none the less still has the same repetitive feel to it after a week.

    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.

I didn't think I would like it at first but they managed to incorporate it seamlessly into the game and it hasn't bothered me at all. Also there are a few "powers" such as cloaking, shielding, and faster health regeneration. These additions are fine and may add a little to the game, and the graphics are improved, however, not enough has changed/improved to make me spend another year playing this game. It's just the same old thing. Some same negatives still exist as well - poor spawning, phantom hit markers, nonsense quick scoping, annoying children (and adults for that matter...). These thing being said, I could probably still allow myself to get sucked into playing this non-stop for the next year - I have (much to the disgust of many gaming "elitists") played COD rather religiously since the first Modern Warfare and have had my share of fun - and probably could still have some with this. So I still give this game a 7-7.5 as the potential is still there for some addictive multiplayer action. But I for one have burned out on COD. It is time for something new. So just be forewarned - nothing revolutionary here.

    The action scenes in this game are pretty amazing if I have to be honest. The sound as well is another thing that makes these games more playable because when a action scene is happening the sound really dose catch the impact it would have if it happened in real life.

    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.

    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

For the campaign, you can expect the usual scripted sequences of combat that attempt to act like a Michael Bay movie with a bit more heart. At times, Advanced Warfare pulls it off and the progression of the story comes off more thought out than CoD has been in the past. Other times it's nothing overly exciting or new, but at least it's not the disappointment that Ghosts was in 2013. Kevin Spacey is excellent but unfortunately the story and dialogue don't always allow him to shine as bright as he could and should have. In the end, I put up about 10 hours or so into the campaign on the Hardened difficulty and didn't feel like I wasted my time. As for the multiplayer, that's another story. The bread and butter of re-playability for this game is at times completely broken. First time developer Sledgehammer Games, who had only done some DLC content for Modern Warfare 3 in the past, attempt to play with the CoD formula and make the game feel a bit more modern and fresh. Very seldom does it feel like they succeeded. Maps are uninspiring and the lack of dedicated server AGAIN ruin the connectivity portion of this game. Using the exosuit for avoidance is borderline useless because your reactions might be fast enough, but the network latency isn't and as a result your attempts to survive end in tears. It's a major pitfall for CoD, the only major shooter launched regularly that has avoided the superior networking path to this day. Dedicated servers are supposedly in the works but are not available in the first weeks of the game and not every platform will get them (major bummer for some). Gametypes are largely carry-over from previous CoD games and it makes everything feel dated and overly familiar even with the changes made. Scorestreaks are impressive in some ways, especially in customization and add-on capabilities, but again too much carry-over leaves the once-bright-spot of CoD as nothing more than a flicker. As for the cooperative Exo Survival, it's Modern Warfare 3's survival mode rehashed. It's neither good nor bad and is probably the best challenge you'll get without being competitive against other players. The problem is that we've seen this done time and time again through other franchises (Halo, Gears of War, earlier CoD games) that the inclusion of this portion of AW feels like a last-minute add-on. It uses all of the same maps as the traditional matchmaking playlists and limits you to a four-player squad.

    Overall, Advanced Warfare is a fairly decent game, but Call of Duty veterans will absolutely find the "been there, done that" catchphrase to be exceedingly true yet again. Advanced Warfare was supposed to be the mold-breaker that put CoD back into favorable territory for gamers, not just critics, but instead feels like a good idea that wasn't fully executed. If you haven't played CoD much in the past, this will be a good game all around for you. As for me, I've played every CoD title since Call of Duty 2. Modern Warfare 2 and the first Black Ops seem to be the last days of glory for this franchise that has since fumbled a bit more with each game launch. At least Sledgehammer tried to do something to make it fun again, that counts for something. Perhaps it's time for Activision to realize they've beat a dead cow and let CoD have a long time out before coming back in the future.    … Expand

    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

Then Kevin Spacey DECLARES WAR ON THE ENTIRE WORLD IN FRONT OF THE UN. THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE. He was a smart, meticulous, cold, calculating guy, then he just gets up in front of the whole world and says, "Come at me, bro." The ending is doodoo and the levels are fairly par for the course.

The map design is meeeeehhhh, mostly bad, some good. With the exos, it feels like they're trying too hard to be different. Half the time, it's impossible to hit a person as they're flying around the map. You will constantly get stuck on random objects that a real human being would simply be able to walk over. Oh, I can fly through the air on a jetpack, but I can't step over a 8 inch tall ledge? The weapons are the worst part. ARs aren't usable without the stock attachments (which you unlock by getting hipfire kills; if you can't tell why this is retarded, the stock helps when you ADS, not hipfire. Makes ZERO sense). Only like 3 guns are actually good, but none are memorable (there are no MW2 Famases or ACRs, no MW3 MP11s or PP90s, no BO1 Famases, Galils, AK47s, or Commandos, no BO2 Peacekeepers, AN90s or R870s. The guns just aren't fun to use. Hell, even Ghosts had the Honey Badger. The game isn't fun to play at all. The movement feels smooth and it's fun to move around so quickly, but it makes the who game a freaking chore to play. It gets less and less good every time you play it. It's not the worst game of all time, it's not a 0 like all the over-reacting mouth-breathing clods on here say it is, but it's not good. It's average, slightly below average. If I could give it 5.5/10 I would. But hey, at least it's better than Destiny.    … Expand

    The exo suits make this game faster and more like an arena shooter. Its cool because it makes everyone learn something new and raises the skill ceiling. Then again it makes people hate the game because it messed with the formula that has worked for CoD for almost a decade. I love games like Unreal Tournament, so making it more like that is awesome.

Then again it makes people hate the game because it messed with the formula that has worked for CoD for almost a decade. I love games like Unreal Tournament, so making it more like that is awesome. However, Even with this breath of fresh air it is still plagued with the same problems of previous games in series. Single player is worthless as usual, but they changed the online just enough to get me interested again. Never bought Ghosts, Hated MW3, and loved Blops 2, but needless to say CoD is losing my interest quickly. Unless they redesign the game from the ground up, CoD will disappear in the next few years as this game is good, but not amazing. Its not going to save the series, it merely stops its decline.… Expand

    Let's be honest here. All Activison really did was add Jet Packs and lazers. The story as usual really all that either. They saw how Titanfall got higher scores (even though Titanfall was disappointing) so took some of their mechanics. The physics are still bad. The only thing I like is the online, even though it's vey repetitive. So I give it a 6/10.

    I was digging the game at first, but when the honeymoon period came to an end. Sadly its still same cod with a jump mechanic thats pretty lame. All they did was copy others. Its cod nothing more nothing less.

    If you play Call Of Duty online all year round then Christmas has officially come early. But if you’re a sucker for the ludicrous, globe-trotting, re-skinned James Bond adventures that constitute these games in single player, you’ve picked the perfect year in which to take a twelve-month break.

    Advanced Warfare is still Call of Duty, but it's more playful, knowing and refreshing than COD's been in years. [Christmas 2014, p.112]

    In many ways, the game is the perfect distillation of the franchise's core appeal. But it's still just Call of Duty, don't expect it to revolutionize the industry. [Issue#118, p.61]
