STN:
When a new Call of Duty rolls into town you generally know what to expect, after all, when you have a winning formula that makes you a bucket load of cash each year, why would you mess with it? You wouldn't, unless of course the people who buy your games start to get fed up with the formula and sales suffer as a result. So what do you do to counter that? Appoint a new developer, making for a three year lifecycle for the series and of course, add new guns, technology and a kick ass actor.
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.
7-10 hr campaign? Thats a nice change from the typical 4 hr campaigns theyve had.
Might pick it up after a price drop.
Who buys COD for the 'campaign' - these days? Personally, I've never bought a COD since COD4@MW, which I will say was wonderful. I might give this latest version a look, though I probably shouldn't...I have hoards of games (retail and Steam) of which I've barely scratched the surface.
I do.. I buy CoD games mainly for their campaign cause internet sucks over here(Africa). So i don't get to play the multiplayer.
