Advanced Warfare: Call of Duty's Loud Cry for Help

Hardcore Gamer: This moment of redemption and revitalization appears less like a blessing and more like an open confession of how nervous the series is toward its much more promising rivals.

Very well said. This game is just trying to grab onto the futuristic elements that Destiny and Titanfall are trying to cultivate, while at the same time cribbing from practically every Sci-Fi property of the last twenty years.

randomass1713648d ago

Well, CoD is a fairly tacky franchise. :P To me it's like popcorn entertainment. Something you rent, have fun for a day and don't really come back to.

porkChop3647d ago

COD is taking cues from real-world technology that is being developed right now for the future. This is where technology is headed. Which is exactly where Destiny, Titanfall, Elysium, Crysis, etc get all their ideas. All comes from the same place. If COD is ripping anything off, then so is everything else.

Vegamyster3647d ago

The game has been in development for nearly 2 and half years which is before Destiny & Titanfall had gameplay out.

Dirtnapstor3647d ago

How about building upon Starhawk... Really though I see nothing wrong with borrowing ideas, happens all the time. Besides, I doubt "all the sudden" they're copying Destiny & Titanfall.
Looking forward to Destiny... Hoping this round of COD is really good and not lackluster.

mhunterjr3647d ago

I'm pretty sure this game was in development before Destiny and Titan fall showed their hands. Based on COD history, the 'advanced warfare' moniker is a natural progression. They've gone from WW2, to modern combat, and have over stayed their welcome in both time periods. It's only natural that they go near-future.

Titanfall and Destiny aren't the first games to do futuristic setting you know.

Ugh.. When does the next Rainbow Six game come out? I want a decent competitive FPS to play.

Deividas3647d ago

Man i was so disappointing to find out its a futuristic shooter ugh

xX-StolenSoul-Xx3647d ago

Yeah right? I mean we all know how Modern FPS games have been saturating the market and we're so not bored of that.
It's nice to deviate. Not like future fps games are anything new but it's a fresh air for this series.

Deividas3647d ago

How is it new for the series? Black Ops 2 did a futuristic thing...

And I would rather have them go back and do a baddass WWII one again or something.

lonewolfjedi3647d ago

some people are actually hyped for this game because of an actor "ACTOR!" since when does one actor make a game good? and wasn't black ops 2 already doing the futuristic thing? I'll wait till the game comes out to hold judgement but I won't fall fir the hype or anything else.

BeardedPriest3647d ago

I gotta admit. I was surprised and glad to see this... we wanted change and now we got it. But... I have to admit I am not really hyped and probably won't buy because I don't think a futuristic setting and Mercenaries in Exoskeleton suits necessarily mean an end to quickscoping, terrible spawns and stupid maps.

That is a shame. AW is my favourite CoD. I hope they do a sequel one day.

LordoftheCritics385d ago

Thoroughly enjoyed AW.

Good campaign and everything.

LOGICWINS385d ago

Same. Fantastic campaign, but I wasn't crazy about the jetpacks in multiplayer.

RaidenBlack386d ago

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

CobraKai385d ago

I felt it was a good time to revisit WW2

porkChop385d ago

I actually really enjoyed WWII. I never understood the hate it got.

JEECE385d ago

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.

Here’s hoping that a sequel just doesn’t happen.

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare remains the series' lone bright spot this gen

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.

Baza1635d ago (Edited 1635d ago )

Story wise.. black opps 3 was all over the place. Modern Warfare story is so much more cohesive and actually makes sense.

Immorals1634d ago

Black ops 3 was terrible. The story was absolutely atrocious.

Knushwood Butt1634d ago

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.

Epicor1634d ago

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!

gamer91635d ago

LOL Advanced Warfare, too funny

Kabaneri1635d ago

The campaign was OK, but the guns sounded like cap guns and the multiplayer maps were not memorable at all.
