Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare

[Growl]

I tend to prefer the single player side of CoD, so I hated Ghosts and BLOPS2 was only meh. That said I really enjoyed the MW trilogy and Treyarch's other stuff.

I'm a little scared to pick this up because it reeks of Ghosts type stuff, but since Troy Baker is the lead VA I'll give it a shot. Guy is the best in the biz.

These games give no concept of warfare. I was at work and the commercial came on and I said, "It's like Fallujah all over again." A guy ten years younger than me said, "That's really what it's like?" I said,  "Yes. Hoverbikes and everything but don't tell anyone those are classified"

Seems like if you want to do all that stuff, you may as well play Titanfall.  If Titanfall came out 6 years ago it would be huge but beccause the shooting is so much like CoD and CoD fan boys wouldn't give it a chance, it wasn't as successful as it could have been.

I am still hooked on Destiny but I have a $15 rewards cert for Best Buy burning a hole in my pocket so I may pick it up. A lot of my friends play it and say it's great.

Don't get me wrong, I was and still am a fan of Titanfall.  It just always felt like something was missing.  Playing against a bunch of AI and only seeing an actual player a select few times during a match sort of got boring though.  The fun part came when you were able to hop into your Titan.

 

Did AW steal a few things from Titanfall?  Yea, they did, but I think Titanfall helped advance the COD series into a series that had become stale and is now, somewhat refreshing.  We'll see if I still feel that way two months down the road.

Purchased last night and played.

Will play again.

It feels a lot like titanfall with no titans. Not really a bad thing, I like It infinitely more than ghosts.

You can get a titan as a killstreak, but it's really easy to take down.  Plus, I think I've only seen it twice.

So I'm thinking of getting it. I hated ghosts and mw3, but every other cod was alright in my opinion. Can any of you give a review of the game? I feel like my time and money is better off going to FarCry 4 when it is released...

 

my brother just got it so i haven't played it very long, but i don't intend to. MW2 and on are all the same shitty game with new (terrible) maps and new (annoying and newb friendly) devices/killstreaks.

 

it sucks.

I really would love to see a next gen WWII game. I'm not sure why Call of Duty has not returned back to that direction, as the best games where the WWII games and COD 4

agreed. cod1, cod2 and cod4 (in no particular order) were my favorites. i don't think WW2 games will work on their current engine tbh. i'm not sure about console, but world at war was a total flop on PC... it was downright unplayable... ridiculously buggy in terms of bullet registration and just flat out bad in every aspect. guns fire slower and have higher recoil, which is pretty much the opposite of what cod has been since cod4.

I would kill for another WW2 FPS. it's been years.

I haven't bought a COD game since MW3 and gave it back in 3 days. MW2 was great. Black ops was decent, but got boring. I just got fed up with the direction that everything was going. I'm a run and gun person too, and I can't stand it when you can't find anyone because they're all camping in a corner.

[Zaximus]

CoD went too crazy with the killstreaks and rewarding bad people with easy killstreaks too.

 

I loved CoD4, in fact it may be my favorite game ever.  I played it hardcore for two years straight.  The simplicity of having UAV/airstrike/chopper worked really well.  The maps were well designed with spawns that were predictable yet avoidable with some map awareness.  You had to be "good" to do well on that game.  Now it's a cakewalk to have a 2-2.5 k/d ratio.    CoD4 was focused on gun play with killstreaks mixed in, whereas the next games focused on camping to get killstreaks and some gun play in the middle.
