Introduction Ah, Call of Duty the yearly money pit, at least when I'm concerned. I've been playing this franchise ever since Call of Duty 2 on my PC back in 2007 and I have even played that game in 2014 with all the custom servers and there is still a living breathing community for that great game.

Tries to be different and mostly succeeds; great face capture tech; fast paced

Runs poorly on last gen; zombies cash grab; SBM

well... my uncle got this game for me when i was in america and when my vacation was done and i went back home i put it in my xbox and i loved it. it has been a year since then and i still play all the time.

Game is excellent it shows how our military might look in the future

Multiplayer feels wonderfully fresh, thanks to the added agility of Exo Suit boosting. Sadly, though, co-op is unimaginative, and the story fails to satisfy when compared to previous installments.

Massive multiplayer offering; Fresh gameplay mechanics in single and multiplayer; Outstanding visuals

Underwhelming campaign; Unimaginative co-op setting

Simply throwing a robot suit onto Call of Duty could have been a lazy path to making Advanced Warfare seem different from what we've played before, but the way Sledgehammer has integrated its enhanced abilities and choices into every aspect of how we fight went above and beyond.

Exo suit mobility; Great maps and modes; Creative campaign levels; Constant unlocks

Exposition dialogue

Kevin Spacey, double-jumping and the (near) future. Yup, Call of Duty is back and better than ever. I've completed the singleplayer half of the game, I've enjoyed it, I've thought about many ways in which things could be improved and this is my Verdict.

Advanced Warfare puts together the most compelling competitive online multiplayer package the series has seen in years. The same can't be said for campaign or co-op, but does it really matter

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare provides much needed change and variety to revitalize the franchise for the future.

Every year, Call of Duty gives me an existential crisis. Every year I review the new entry in the series and, every year since Modern Warfare, it's been more or less the same game, barring a few surface changes that only the dedicated fanbase will notice.
