Call Of Duty: Advanced Warfare - Your Thoughts?

I'm a "Christmas Noob" or a "Christmas Scrub" to the newest installment in the Call of Duty franchise although I'm well acquainted with the series as a whole(I've been playing sense black ops 1 and have sense played every game from World at War / Modern Warfare.) So naturally, even though I'm level 1 in game, I could still compete and enjoy the game. Now on to my [b]opinions[/b] on the game. [u]Campaign[/u] I have not completed the story mode for this game yet I still like it. I think it rushed things in the beginning. It should've waited just a few more missions before critical plot points happened. [u]Co-Op Mode: Exo Survival[/u] I was a bit nervous when u heard Sledgehammer was bringing something new in terms of a Co-Op game mode. The previous title, Call of Duty: Ghost, had a new Co-Op mode, Extinction, in which you fought aliens. It was fun at first, but didn't really feel like what I (and many others) wanted with the Co-Op mode in a COD game. Exo Survival was different though. It reminds me of the Modern Warfare 3 survival. You can obtain kill streaks, guns, perks, etc. While fighting off waves of enemies with an added objective every few rounds. The ability to pick a class is also nice. I myself gravitate towards the "Specialist" class while my friends choose "Heavy", but to each his own. [u]Multiplayer[/u] The multiplayer in this COD game is different. With the added Exo abilities and movement, it's a bit more fast paced then other games. While camping is still in the game, most players are busy ducking, diving, and dashing to the objective. There isn't many guns, which made me reluctant to play the multiplayer, but each gun has several different forms. An example is the akimbo heavy weapon, the XMG. My friend has picked up two "Elite" versions off the weapon. "Bacon & Eggs" and "Bread & Butter". One offers much more damage at a cost of accuracy loss while the other offers more accuracy at the cost of damage reduction. This makes each gun different. You AK-12 could be much stronger then mine but the gun I wield may have the range of a DMR. ----------------------------------------------- Over all I would rate this game 10/10. I've been a COD fan once I played Black Ops, so this game was almost guaranteed to get a few good reviews from myself. Now that I'm done talking, what're your thoughts on the game? Edit 1) After playing the multiplayer & Exo Survival for a bit longer, I noticed there are many spots that are low to the ground and wouldn't be game breaking but yet they're covered by invisible walls. This is stupid. An example is defender, in the back of the map by the plane, there's this rock with a tree on it, low to the ground, much lower then your double jump height, but yet when you go to jump on top of it- INVISIBLE WALL! There's no reason for there to be as many of these as there is. Changing my rating to 9/10. [b]96 Replies...we can round down to 90 assuming I've only contributed to the responses 6 times. Still a lot and a high score for me. Like how people are responding with their opinions and not just duking it out.[/b]

  • I'm a cod fan but aw was terrible. Guns are ugly the armor is ugly and the whole armor customization thing makes zero sense whatsoever ghosts was ten times better than this trash

    • Campaign was slightly above average due to Kevin spacey Exo survival is pretty fun Multiplayer is still very similar but the new movement helps it feel unique They're adding in Exo zombies, can't wait to see what it's like.

        Personally the best CoD I've played since MW2. I really enjoy it. My order of preference: 1. Modern Warfare 2 2. Advanced Warfare 3. Modern Warfare 4. Black Ops 2 5. World at War 6. Modern Warfare 3 7. Ghosts 8. Black Ops 1 If I'm missing any they weren't worth remembering...

        • It's not the best from the franchise in terms of story, it was very much rushed cliched mess and definitely needed time to draw out the story. My favourites from the franchise have been Modern Warfare and Black Ops. I really hope the next instalments will improve in quality and not a dumbed down story. Also hated the multiplayer, way too fast for me but that might be because I haven't played online for awhile.

        • Do yourself a favor and trade it in for Battlefield. Way better. There is a learning curve because you can't press a button and a vehicle will won't show up to kill things for you. The maps are huge but fun as hell. You actually have to use tactics to maneuver around the objectives. There are no real perks to handicap players so it forces you to be a better FPS player just like the first three halo games.

        • I give it a 6/10. Campaign's 'meh' but it's COD, so that's expected. Multiplayer is sufficient, but this is where COD is supposed to shine, and it's not giving me a reason to play. All the player cards and prestige emblems look like trash. The weapon selection is lackluster. The exo movements are derivative. The scorestreaks are flat-out awful. Co-op (exo survival) is ... don't even get me started. The only reason it's getting a 6 from me is the SLIGHT chance that the zombie mode may shine. I need COD zombies on my PS4 right now.

          Something I found weird about the story was [spoiler] characters just ended up disappearing from the plot. Jackson from the first mission never turns up again, which is pretty surprising considering he had about three lines and wore a helmet; the checklist from having the survival rate of a rat in a homeless person's mouth. The Nigerian captain never turns up again either, but at least both these can be explained with them not really being major characters and making a nice change from having a redshirt character just to kill them off. Then Joker, despite being the third main character in the first few levels, simply never turns up again. [/spoiler]

          • 10/10 is a little high.... But it's pretty good. I agree with the maps being a little small, you can normally get wherever you want on the map in less than 20 seconds. Better than ghosts by a long shot lol. Wish there were more options for sniping than the noob Atlas or the quickscoping mors... Also I wish heavy weapons were better. Only decent one is the Ameli.

                • CoD is dead. Ghost started it, and AW put the nail in the coffin.

                • As a guy who was getting tired of COD since MW2, have to say AW is the best since MW1, the exo have really improved the multiplayer. Gonna be an arcade shooter? Good on them for going extra with exo abilities and boosting.

                • So far played it only offline and I'm impressed that I'm enjoying a Call of Duty game, so far I love it and having offline Multiplayer with different game modes and boys makes it a must have for me. The only con I have with is it uses the same death animations from the older ones. Other then that I'm enjoying it.

                • It definitely had the best campaign out of the recent games. I haven't played the multiplayer though since every CoD multiplayer has sucked and I'm not going to put myself through that frustration again.

                    COD AWful is a terrible piece of shit. The movement is clunky, the hit markers are trash, the maps are to small for the movement and the gun play is shit. Most disappointing COD ever. Thank god Treyarc is making next years game. They are the only true COD dev anymore. Campaign was pretty good though 8.5 MP is a joke 3

                    • Campaign is good, one of the best in years for a cod game. Multiplayer online is trash, has a bad netcode with no dedicated servers or region lock. Game only runs at a 30 tick rate, with everything going on, such a fast time to kill that is not good enough and leads to loads of wtf rage inducing lag moments. I won't go into detail, but just as an example counterstrike could run at a 128 tick rate. Overall score Campaign: 8/10 Multiplayer online: 2/10 Tick rate explained in vid below, everything that is wrong with online FPS multiplayer games... No skill with a low tick rate and it all comes down to luck. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=aVmqv3z4gnA
