I really really hated ghost.
I mean, I'm pretty sure advanced warfare will be much better.
I hope so!

Well I'm just waiting for Whatever treyarc puts out it gonna be amazing for sure.

steffess92 wrote I am basing this rant on the Xbox one version of the game, I suppose it's the same on PS4 and cant be any better on last gen?

Well right now I am very mad indeed bros, I was so hyped about COD: Advanced Warfare I was convinced it would be impossible to be worse than COD:Ghost, how wrong I was....

Personally, I loved every COD until Ghosts and right now I'm thinking that Advanced Warfare makes Ghosts actually look good.

My reasons?

#1 - Literally EVERYONE finds the highest vantage point/roof on the map and just camps there ADS, Call Of Duty: Advanced Roof-fare would be a much more fitting title; seriously. For a game with so much movement ability the purpose of gunskill while rushing is pretty much defeated, Ghosts all over again except more extreme camping.

#2 - Exo Launchers.... Oh my days... Remember them days on MW2? EVERYONE got mad at noobtubes and they have basically just brought them back, unavoidable deaths unless you have flak jacket.

#3 - The servers.. Even on the next generation our billion dollar friends over at Activision are still too tight to shell out a miniscule fraction of that wealth to provide us with proper dedicated servers, now the guy on the Tesco connection will be sponging everything and melting everyone if he pulls host..

#4 - No longer feels like Call Of Duty, the most accurate way I can possibly describe the feel of the game is a cross between BO2/Ghosts and Titanfall.

#5 - The spawns are perhaps the worst I have ever seen in any COD, right now FFA is simply unplayable, I've lost count of how many times I killed someone and in less than 5 seconds they are behind me and shooting. (Obviously this can and very probably will be fixed which is why I put it as my bottom least important reason)

Personally I would both not recommend and also recommend this game to people

If you like COD:Ghosts, then by all means go ahead and buy it you will probably enjoy it if you prefer to camp.

If you hated COD:Ghosts then I would save my money, I'm assuming you didn't like Ghosts because of the ease of camping opposed to rushing, well I would say AW is even worse for campers despite the exo movement.

I made the mistake of buying day-zero edition from the dashboard and after 3 very unhappy days of gaming I am finished, feel like I've just pissed 55 quid up the wall. Will sure as hell not be buying another IW or Sledgehammer release without testing it before I even think about buying it.

Trolls and fanboys can flame me and disagree all they want, same thing happened with Ghosts I stopped playing it in less than a week and sold my copy. When I posted my rant on Ghosts almost everyone disagreed with me due to the game being out a week, now I would guess at the very least half of those people who disagreed with me then will agree with me now (about Ghosts) considering hundreds of rants where posted weeks/months after mine. My guess is that this game will have the same volume of players Ghost had at the end shortly after Xmas, soon as all the Xmas noobs learn to move properly and camp on roofs literally every bit of fun will be drained from the game, watch and see.

My rating

Campaign - 8/10 (campaign was actually pretty good, kind of expected though.)
Multiplayer - 2/10 (If there was no 'classic' playlists I would give it a 1/10)

P.S If you enjoy the game, good for you. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion(s) but as a run/gun player who finds it boring to just camp, this is my honest opinion on the game. Every release of COD suits my play style except Ghosts and AW, as you will tell with my leaderboard comparisons between mw2/3/bo/bo2 opposed to Ghosts/AW

Rant over, Activision have yet again managed to squeeze more money out of me for no value, that much is my own fault really if I was thinking straight I should have tested before wasting my money.

Thank you for reading, and If you disliked Ghosts I would strongly recommend you try AW before you buy.

I swear you're me right now. I was saying the same things to some of my friends and to other people. Like damn Ghosts was somewhat playable AW is just a mess. Have you noticed the Bal-27 is the most OP gun in AW right now? I can't join a game without seeing 3-5 people with it. It's zero recoil and 3 hit kill at any range is bull.


And I like how simple guns like the Pytaek are useless. I've emptied bullets into people only to be shot down by the Bal-27. This game is ridiculous right now I doubt they'll fix the gunplay.


I feel like Treyarch is the only good devs. I mean yeah BO2 was kind of poo but at least it was very playable. AW is just a joke I hope the devs feel bad for themselves.

It just takes some adjusting to at first but in time it'll get better.

No one made you purchase their game, you choose to do that on your own. You can just return it if you hate it so bad.

When people say that Titanfall and Advanced Warfare are the same it makes me think that they have not played either of the titles. I have played both games extensively. There is no "blurred line" that makes these game similar at all. The only argument I see is that the jumping or jet pack mechanic is the same. This is not true. They are very different in their own regard. Titanfall is heavily based off of the Titan suits. While Advanced Warfare depends on the exo suits for more maneuverability. Advanced Warfare is the same core game play that Call of Duty has always been, but with an exo suit. Titanfall however, is on a whole different playing field. The game play is more fast paced and relies on the Titans for its main multiplayer mechanic. Comparing these two games is like comparing apples and oranges. If you are going off of the jumping mechanic being slightly the same, then did every game steal from Atari games that allowed you to shoot and jump?


Also to address your argument about camping taking no skill. That is an opinion. Sure I bitch about camping, but it is alot more difficult to shoot some one moving then someone camping. If you can't kill someone who is standing still for a long amount of time, then that is a you issue.

I love this game! Campers are shit and are easy to flank and kill. You just have to be really good at the exo movements. Unlike Ghosts, there are gun fights and strategy. Going back angry to those roof campers only gives them easy kills and you wasted deaths.

Shaman wrote Right, first of all there is absolutely nothing wrong with camping. If real soldiers run/gun into battlefields they'd be dead in seconds, the point of camping is to stay alive and not get slaughtered as soon as you move. Using "Camping" as a tactic in any call of duty isn't bad.

Secondly, the Multiplayer really isn't that bad. The maps are decent & allow good flowing gameplay.

You on crack?

Of course its a tactic used by hundreds of thousands of people lol. Its not illegal but its not in the "spirit of the game" If that's how you prefer to play Battlefield should be your preferred game..
Everyone camps to some degree but with Exo abilitys its taken it to a new level.

The maps are decent as in they physically look great but the gameplay does not flow at all.. you can get from one side of a map to the other in seconds.. and before you know it your shot in the back because your team mates are all camping rooftops lol.
