Here’s what some pro players think of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare developer Sledgehammer Games has invited a few well-known community members and pro players to try their hands at some multiplayer gameplay and captured their impressions on tape.

[Sneakybudda]

I was very dissatsfied in the last COD. But i am actually looking forward to this game. It is titanfall on steads dare to say it. But yeah it looks great. i cant wait to get my paws on it. meowww.

[Meltic]

how much did they pay them to actually say positive things rather negatives? It cant be perfect. or ?

[Sneakybudda]

Good point squire. We will have to wait and find out.

[XabiDaChosenOne]

Not much, all of these guys are COD commentators on youtube so their opinions on the game probably didn't have to be swayed.

[Patrick_pk44]

COD drones don't have to be persuaded, the people already believe that all the CODs and the future of the franchise are all masterpieces.

[SolidStoner]

Well Search and Destroy is ruined for me with these suits.. and without them maps will be too small and vertical, many things will be inaccessible...

and those fake future weapons dont look good at all.. They better make ASAP WW2 or Vietnam or something like COD4 only with shiny and better everything!

So far map count also not impressive, like all COD's they get boring after a month and after that you are forced to buy DLC (I bet those maps are ready to release already, they are just waiting YOU to pay for) I say skip it and wait for them while they make proper COD..

[purpleblau]

After checking out Hardline, I'd say I'm going for the slower paced BF. What fun is in this game? fast fast quick quick gun and run bam bam? Just stupid.

[ThunderPulse]

Why bring up BFH in a COD article? I see a troll in stealth mode starting FPS wars.

[princejb134]

After all the unresolved bugs bf3 and bf4 has good luck. At least cod games are playable

[redraider2011]

Ya you're just trolling bro. Both are fun games and both have their place. I'm glad they're different, sometimes I feel like a more simulator experience in BF and sometimes I feel like the arcade-style CoD brings to the table.

[RioKing]

^THIS.

[HammadTheBeast]

How is he trolling by stating his opinion and asking others for their opinions?

BF is slower-paced slightly, but actions is much more intense over short periods of time. CoD is instant and intense action, very fun when you're winning, frustratingly bad when losing.

Both are individual games, I'd probably say both are gonna be the same as their last ones, because these 2 companies refuse to do anything that might be different.

[awi5951]

Ghost recon online had these stupid exoskeleton suits along time ago.

[Back-to-Back]

Pro Players? lol since when are you considered a pro player just because you upload videos to YouTube.

Any ways these YouTube guys are a dime a dozen. They get feed and flown out of free to play a game. Of corse they are going to say the game is great.

However, as usual Within 3-4 months they will all bitch about how bad the game is. Activision are masters of deception and always promise false hope to the gamers.

Remember how great they told us COD Ghosts would be because its "BUILT FOR NEXT GEN."

[PurpatraitorMGS]

I'm glad they are trying to innovate.

[Gazondaily]

It's about time! I've been waiting for a 'proper' COD game since Modern Warfare 2!

[daBUSHwhaka]

Spot on bud.Every COD since MW2 has fell flat.I've played every COD and the story and online have been very disappointing for the last 4 entry's now.Hopefully AW will be that little bit more special or the brand really will die off.

[KyRo]

Black Ops and black Ops 2 > MW2, MW3 & Ghosts

While I think this years COD will be a lot better than Ghosts which shouldn't be hard to do, it's next years Treyarch game I'm really looking forward to.

[Gazondaily]

Ugh no way! Black Ops over MW2? No way! MW3 and Ghosts yes because those two games were TERRIBLE.

Black Ops was horrid. One of the biggest gaming disappointments of my life. Waited in a supermarket that had over 200 people waiting for the game. GOt a cold. Went home without getting the game. Woke up next morning with a flu. Was told that the shop next to my house had loads of it and there were no queues.

Dragged myself to the shop. Got home, booted up the game, waited for the textures to load not realising that the textures had already loaded. Thought to myself, at least it doesn't have COmmando Pro perk that will let people knife me from a mile away. First ever death in a game...getting knifed from a mile away.

The game was horrid. Just plain horrid p_p

[USMC_POLICE]

I've been waiting for one since cod 3 enough modern future crap I need another ww2 game.

[Enate]

The one thing with the cod series though is I never wanted them to innovate for the sake of saying they did. Mainly because I knew if they did we would get a product like ghost. No clean 3 lane design, over sized maps, removal of staple killstreaks that minimized camping,terrible lag compensation system that resulted in the worst connections ever. Which is why they removed you ability to see your ping bars after like the first week the game was out.

MW2 and 3 and black ops 1 had the best network connections for me. When I shot people they died consistently with the same amount of damage they should have unlike black ops 2 and cod ghost. Looking over the MW3 maps just the other day. I realized with the exception of about one map. I could not think of one I really hated out of the original set.

[HammadTheBeast]

Agreed, MW2 wasn't balanced, but that was the beauty of it. Maps were just amazing, the newer CoD's have had maze-like maps which are insanely boring.

Black OP's just feels off, its just so bland I can't play it for more than a couple rounds.

And Ghosts is just beyond words.

[MetroidFREAK21]

I'm looking forward to playing this on Day Zero... I already have it predownloaded on my Xbox One

[Patrick_pk44]

I'm sorry.

[MetroidFREAK21]

Eh, your opinion

[SPAM-FRITTER-123]

Why sorry? This guy has spent his money on a game he enjoys, he will be having a blast on a game he likes while you sit around annoying people on N4G.

Enjoy your game Metroid. I will be.

[HammadTheBeast]

Good luck! Hope it turns out good.

[Mikelarry]

while i respect their opinions i am going to wait for reviews and trying it out at friends house before buying it. i have been burnt my cod too many times. this is the first year i haven't pre ordered a cod

[1nsomniac]

It's incredibly fast, we get it!

That's the exact reason why everyone hates it. It's created for the ADHD generation. There's no tactics or thought that goes into the game.

Same reason why people didn't initially like the new Battlefields because it used to be vast & wide spread with tactics & thought provoking. Battlefield is now trying to get smaller & smaller & more intense closed spaces & that's generally not what people want. Which is why so many people complain about Metro etc..

[Immorals]

Hey, I have adhd and I prefer games like metro to call of duty anyday!

[1nsomniac]

Metro as in the level metro from battlefield not the actual game Metro..

[HammadTheBeast]

I think he meant for kids, rather than legit ADHD lol.

[dreamed]

Christ i wish this game would just f off n die,then maybe devs would bring back the tactical shooters,coz imo its the popularity of this noob fest of a game thats caused all genres like clancy games and survival horror to just become a grey homogenised mess.

[mogwaii]

Although i somewhat agree with you i have avoided COD for years now and am ready to come back and just have some stupid fun, im still loving battlefeild 4 though and just convinced a few mates to finally pick it up, game on! :)

[TheEnigma313]

Just look at those preorders. This series has about 2-3 years tops.

[zero_gamer]

The blame is more on the companies that play the "me too" game than on Activision/CoD developers. Activision will just continue doing what rakes in hundred dollar bills by the piles.

[Tyrant 8 RDFL]

@ !nsomniac,

Totally agree brother. I loved MW1, MW2, and Back ops one because of what you mentioned. Having a COD game on fast loses those aspects, I will give it a try anyway, and see what happenes.

[InTheLab]

Ok so part one of the paid advertisements are out of the way. These people make a living of CoD so why would they tell you anything other than how great the game is.

Next up, Ali A, Tmartin, and more "I love everything about this game and you should too" videos....

[Clown_Syndr0me]

Who cares what they think?
I'm sure not every professional actor likes the TV shows I watch, but I enjoy them anyway.

[burza1982]

Give me a break! These people make a living from CoD, and they paid to say good words about the game. Advert made but CoD creators.

[Akira2020]

This will be my Swan Song for COD. I've been badly let down with the last three installments; if COD:AW doesn't go back to COD's magnificent past, I'll be done with the franchise.

Here's hoping for the best. Cheers.

[Perjoss]

This is great, but as always the smart thing to do is wait for reviews from the sites or magazines that you trust. Pre orders are only ever a good idea if you're buying something that you know will be in short supply, like real limited editions etc.

[Fusion_Ninja]

Haven't touch a COD game since 2012, and this definitely isn't going to change that...looks like same sh*t with double-jumping.

[DirtyLary]

A Sledgehammer video. I wonder what they are going to say....

[Simco876]

Looks more like COD with Arena shooter sprinkled on top. Better than Titanfall I'm sure. That game got boring REALLY fast, with the massive players and guns that come along with COD, should be another hit. I might give it a shot after a good stint away from COD.

[Duke19]

Always loved COD gameplay, but are they still using the same engine as the old games? It looks a little dated from those clips

[Reddzfoxx]

Looks like the CoD hype train is finally leaving the station and building up momentum. Again we are witnessing YouTubers saying its a great game before release just like previous CoD games.

Again lots of people are on the fence because its just like Titanfall except no giant robots and this game looks like it marks the end of dropshotting in CoD and the beginning of jump shooting air battles.

They claim its fast but they were also playing on LAN networks and not 5-1000 miles away to see how the lag comp effects players. Personally I will wait until Treyarch releases the next CoD next year as they have a good history of supporting the game after release while sledgehammer is an unknown and IW is an embarrassment to Activision.

[Funky Town_TX]

Bad graphics and no recoil. I hope the fans like this one.

[NikeJustDoesit]

I can see many broken controllers in the near future... The MP looks like it will be completely unbalanced on Day 1.

[AidenPearce]

Those people were too old to represent COD's target demo.

[Donnywho]

Every time I buy a COD game my PS3 hard freezes so much I think it's about to die and I also wind up assuming I need a new router at some point. I had to break the cycle. Fun as hell, just need to leave it alone for a while, stick to the older ones when I get the fps urge.

[BeefCurtains]

I like COD. Every game they release is basically spending $60 for new maps and a few new ideas, but I can't help myself. Now it looks like COD/titanfall/Halo, all in one game. Well, I like all those games, so this should be fun for me.

[jdubrady]

This looks like a cool game, but call of duty already felt too fast /twitchy as it was. This seems like I wont have a chance. looks fun for those who are good at these types of games.

[cellfluid]

Call of Duty sucks

[Bobertt]

I was on the fence about getting another CoD after ghosts but after seeing the trailer with the jumping and how fast it was i was excited. I then realized this is gonna make search and destroy which is my favorite mode less fun because with the ability to jump so high and kill so quick a few guys can just hide and jump out of no where when you go to plant or defuse. Plus there is the dlc and after they took away some of your class slots in ghosts and then tried to sell them back to you im done supporting them.

[windblowsagain]

I hope the shooting dynamic's have been completely reworked.

All COD games share the same problem.

For those slagging off BF4, shooting/handling wise. It totally destroys COD.

Cod feels on rails when shooting, like a robot. Tons of lockon and fkall movement.

If the new game fixes those problems, it could be a good game.

[GreenUp]

Why do all the guns kill so fast like in Ghosts? From the videos, it seems to be the same, which is far less bullets to kill compared to MW2 and MW3. :\

[ninjahunter]

Huh, weird, i thought the pro scene for cod died out.

[trenso1]

still haven't convinced me on why i should buy this game, guess ill just have to wait for a friend to get it and i try it at their house.

[KingKevo]

Well this is a promo ad and that simple fact makes all opinions included in it worthless. No way they will say anything bad at an event sponsored by Activision that they got invited to and got paid for the flight and the hotel and Activision would never could any critical comments in it. So yeah, no credibility to find in this video, just staged promo, like a TV commercial or other stuff with 'real' people and 'honest' opinions.

I do not dislike this since this is how things get done today, but people should be carefull not to believe this stuff if the people in it have a business relation to the company making the game.
