Advanced Warfare is still your basic first person shooter that we all enjoy in spurts. The gameplay is polished and the online play is still just as addicting as before. What has made this experience different for me is the inclusion of a great single player mode and the added elements of creative weaponry and the new exo suit. If you have enjoyed Call of Duty every year, you will love this one and if you fell out of Call of Duty, you should really consider checking this game out as it really does change up a lot of what the series has been rehashing every year.
Former director at Activision, Bret Robbins, revealed that Advanced Warfare 2 had a working prototype, but it was eventually shelved for COD WWII.
That is a shame. AW is my favourite CoD. I hope they do a sequel one day.
I still prefer CoD based on historical settings or in near future settings(like CoD: Ghost) ... even though I liked infinite Warfare's campaign ... it was top notch
A lot of people who never played a shooter prior to like 2012 get really mad about anything that isn't a modern combat game.
Game Rant Writes "With rumors swirling about a sequel to Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, Sledgehammer Games can bring back a few weapons for a modern encore."
GR: "If one series truly defined the seventh generation of consoles it was Call of Duty. Sadly, the series has struggled to reach the same heights on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One and only Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare feels like the previous era of innovation and top-notch storytelling."
I quite enjoyed it but I think black ops 3 was the high point.
Modern warfare could be if a few tweaks are made and the new maps are good.
Story wise.. black opps 3 was all over the place. Modern Warfare story is so much more cohesive and actually makes sense.
I quit that campaign after about an hour. All I remember is some crappy robot drone combat R2D2 thing that you had to use. I didn't make it past that.
For me the Black Ops installations have always been the high peaks in terms of PVP mode. Black ops 3 campaign was pretty bad though. Advanced Warfare's campaign was pretty good, one of the best ones - but PVP was bad!
The campaign was OK, but the guns sounded like cap guns and the multiplayer maps were not memorable at all.
my brother did the digital download for ps3 but how do you get the free upgrade to ps4? I got mine physical form but if anyone can help me with that issue thanks.
Can't wait to play this later today!
Another caught in the initial day 1...or should I say zero...hype.
First off, Treyarch didn't make this game, Sledgehammer did. Second, it IS a new engine that they are using.
As far as it being the best CoD to date, I'll hold judgement until 24 hrs pass, but I'm almost certain it isn't true. I immediately get the same feeling in single player, and it's no longer a good one, even with Spacey at the helm. I'd take the authors word on its length but since they were wrong on a few things, I'm guessing it may be similar inength. I just hate following a guy w follow over his head like I'm an idiot. We are never free to explore. And we are constantly told to do the most obvious things that the game still doesn't trust us to figure out on our own. Set pieces were great a few yrs ago, but now I'm expecting everything, so it's wow factor is basically gone. They are scripted anyway.
As far as multiplayer goes, it feels very familiar but different. I'm not sure yet. I like the customization. We will see, but I'm guessing that Dragon Age, Far Cry and Destiny will have my attention for this year's remainder. I think CoD needs a serious overhaul tbh.
God, they don't even know who developed it..
It's Sledgehammer, not Treyarch, that developed this game. But to stay on topic, AW deserves these high scores the game looks great albeit not as great as the cut scenes (maybe next year). I'm only two pr three missions into the campaign but it is fun and the storyline is intriguing enough to keep me interested. I stopped playing the campaign to test out the mp. I usually finish the campaign before I even touch the mp in any game but the double xp lured me in and boy am I glad I tried it early.
I love the gameplay of CoD mp, however, Ghosts was the first game that made seriously considered taking a break from CoD. Ghost promised so much and never delivered on any of it. Sledgehammer seems to have made due on the promises IW failed on delivering.
The graphics seem to be a generational leap above Ghosts. The sound of the guns are amazing. The level design creates so many strategical opportunities. I'm in love with CoD again. Treyarch is my favorite CoD developer mainly because of zombies but also because they introduced the Pick 10 feature to the series and Sledgehammer took that idea and improved on it. The customization of loadouts are deep as well as the cosmetic customization.
I think this is the game that will garner the attention of those who may have given up on the franchise. I believe it will get them excited again. When I started the campaign, I was wow'd by the visuals, the audio, and the feel of the game. When I jumped into my first mp match, an involuntary smile crept up on my face. When the match ended I was still smiling, even with my horrible K/D. That itch to play one more game, to unlock that next weapon, to get a new skin, to prestige is still present. This feeling reminds me of the first time I booted up Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.
