Man, Call of Duty Advanced Warfare is Fast

Cory Shultz from For the Love of Gaming writes:

I picked up my copy yesterday, and have been playing it far too much since the disc was inserted into my Xbox One. I absolutely loved the campaign and pretty much played it 7 hours straight. I am really enjoying the new moving mechanics that include the double jumping and dashing mechanics. Its’ a small change that really changes how fast and fluid the game play feels. After I finished the Campaign, I hopped into multiplayer and immediately found out that I hadn’t seen anything in terms of speed yet.

Dudebro903465d ago

No kidding!

Seriously this game is lighting fast. I almost cant keep up half the time.

seanpitt233465d ago

Yes it might be to fast I cannot count how many times I have been shot in the back. You think how he got there so quick but now people can basically fly its understandable.

Jughead34163465d ago (Edited 3465d ago )

Yeah, you really have to have your head on a swivel. There's been a few matches where I'd have like 5 kills in the bag. But right as I raise my gun.......BAM!! shot in the freakin back. They spawn you right on top of enemies too. Very fast paced. Not really for noobs. I went from Destiny's Crucible to this. Both are extremely fun, but much different.

@ Judgehead

"you really have to have your head on a swivel"

That cracked me up lol

lipton1013464d ago

I don't know why, but I've actually been telling my friends it's a slower pace. I'm a cod hater historically but I'm loving this game. Best duty since MW2

Saijahn3464d ago

It's not that fast to me honestly. Titanfall was definitely faster and had more maneuverability so cod:aw is slow to me.

medman3464d ago

I haven't touched a Cod since Black Ops, but this one has me intrigued....is it worth the buy??

TheMapleNerd3464d ago

I'm thinking the same, brought every Cod since Mw2, but after Ghost i lost it... And people seem to love this one.
So.. It is worth the buy?

ramiuk13464d ago

haha.

i finished story and i really enjoyed it.
went online and its wicked fun and now broinla picked it up i cant wait to smash it evry day.
also looks really good on my 106" projector which im glad about.
back to the online game and its fast,but once u make use of the boosting its easier and i shoot,shoot and turn other way,constantly changing direction and i dont get hit in back much.
but when i was just doing laps of lvl shooting i was always getting shot.
im also seriously loving the traversing the heights and walls with ease.

best cod since MW2 imo

That's how it should be, it's a twitchey arcadey FPS game. The speed compliments the gameplay in my opinion.

DirtyLary3464d ago (Edited 3464d ago )

OG gamers will say its got that Unreal Tournament feel , newer gamres will say its a Titanfall ripoff.

Its just glitched as hell. Combine the air dashing with P2P lag/host advantage and its so frustrating.

USA0073464d ago

I dislike the way they handled lag in this game. Everyone gets the same lag as the guy with the worst connection. Can't wait to play LAN though, that's when it gets real.

Anyone else think an oculus rift or Morpheus would be helpful in this game. The ability to look over your shoulder while aiming in another direction seems like a nice thing to have, as often times the enemies can come from any direction

TheLEGENDofTydo3464d ago

I don't understand why everyone is mentioning so much lag. I prestiged the game 13 hours after it was released, so I have played a lot, and I'm yet to experience any lag issues.

DirtyLary3464d ago

Its P2P of course you have experienced it. You are either just used to it and not acknowledging it or just trolling.

Funantic13465d ago

I like the newest COD. It's the fastest paced FPS out. That's what you call a true twitch shooter.

Utalkin2me3465d ago

Actually, if you have ever played quake or a early unreal game you would disagree. But it seems to be the fastest COD out to date.

creatchee3465d ago

It's definitely faster than other COD's, but coming off of Titanfall, it feels a bit slower.

Kingdomcome2473464d ago

I feel as though Titanfall is faster as well. The TTK in COD is faster, but the building up of speed and momentum while parkouring properly in Titanfall is faster than the sporadic exo boosts in AW.

Ethereal3465d ago

This is one of the reasons why I don't think I will picking it up. I am horrible at running and gunning. Oh well, I'll play the campaign down the road when it's cheaper.

lipton1013464d ago

I'd say try it man, to me it doesn't seem as fast as previous iterations. I'm loving it and I've always been the biggest hater of all things cod. I'd say give it a whirl, if you don't like it the resale value should be near $50 al la craigslist

DirtyLary3464d ago

Ya coming from BF4 game speeds, this is in hyperdrive. I'm getting my ass handed to me. Serious learning curve.

PurpHerbison3464d ago

It's still COD at the end of the day, you will learn quickly that the learning curve was not serious what so ever.

BurntWolfAnkles3464d ago

Same here, been on bf4 for a whole now and haven't played cod since black ops, getting absolutely hammered online. That said I am enjoying the game a lot.

Summons753465d ago

Love how the fanboys are disagreeing with the facts.

bennissimo3464d ago

I've played MP on and off for several hours in a variety of lobbies and have yet to experience any lag. But please, carry on.

Summons753464d ago

@bennissimo

Went to a friends hours at 11 and stayed till 3 and watched him get mad because he either couldn't connect to any games, they kicked everyone, or they were so laggy it was unplayable and this is coming from tons of players so please fanboy try to defend your copy/paste game

USA0073464d ago

It's a peer to peer connection, the servers don't host matches, and they're not causing the lag. All servers to my knowledge are just for grouping players together into matches, not actually hosting them.

If your friend is having that much of an issue with lag, I would think he is having an issue with his internet connection. I'd suggest making sure the correct ports are forwarded on his router, as not having that can cause a lot of connection issues. He should have an open NAT type, and a wired connection(not wifi). I've found most people with more than 1 console don't have their router set up correctly, so that the console that was connected to the router second will experience lag also. Just trying to help!

0 lag here. 25mbps connection though. Maybe you should pay an extra $10 /month for faster internetz

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

LordoftheCritics387d ago

Thoroughly enjoyed AW.

Good campaign and everything.

LOGICWINS387d ago

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

RaidenBlack387d 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

CobraKai387d ago

I felt it was a good time to revisit WW2

porkChop387d ago

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

JEECE387d 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.

Baza1636d ago (Edited 1636d ago )

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

Immorals1636d ago

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

Knushwood Butt1636d 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.

Epicor1636d 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!

gamer91636d ago

LOL Advanced Warfare, too funny

1636d ago
Kabaneri1636d ago

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